Anyone addicted to food despite the pain LOL

I definitely am addicted to food LOL

Nessa.

Hey there LMills. I am the opposite when it comes to being in a bad mood. Well it depends on how mad I am. When I am frustrated and stuff I eat and eat and eat and eat. :( I tend to over eat most of the time. Which is a double whammy on my system because most of the time it's cr*p food that I binge on. If I am royally p'd I forget to eat. I lose my appetite. I notice that when I am in a flare I tend to go for high sugar and carbed foods. Like bread and chocolate. Bad Bad bad. Instead of drinking water like I should.

I am so hungry all the time, that hunger pains wake me up at night. What is up with that?

Navy and Mihee...I know what you mean...it's really irritating sometimes. Especially when you just want something you can eat without being punished and you can't.

my favorite food is chips and salsa and hot wings. hot wings put me in the hospital earlier this year i just cant handle them anymore :( sometimes i sneak some salsa tho just a little bit doesnt hurt too much ha ha

Haha Sulley I love chips and salsa too. My husband always scolds me because I always have to dip a chip in the salsa just once to have a little taste. What does he expect of me, he's mexican so we are always eating at Mexican places:)

yep, i mean, couldnt ya just live on food!

I could really go for a brown sugar cinnamon frost poptart or pumpkin cake with cream cheese icing :( I miss holiday food!!!
I hear you about the Mexican Nanners...it used to be one of my absolute favorites, and I have quite a few friends whose families make WONDERFUL Mexican.

Pickles Mmmmmmmm - SCD recipe at http://www.scdiet.net/elainesrecipes.htm

Ice cream and chocolate syrup with sprinkles. Frozen yogurt if SCD (many recipes are on the web), or Soy Ice Cream if gluten/lactose free

Nachos and cheese. SCD chip recipe (uses almond flour) at http://bethsblog.typepad.com/bethsblog/2007/07/specific-carboh.html

Spaghetti with garlic toast. Supposedly, spaghetti squash tastes just like spaghetti, it just has a different texture. You can even buy a cool little gadget that turns your squash into one long strand of spaghetti. Lots of SCD bread recipes at http://www.scdiet.org/2recipes/bread01.html, and many gluten free ones too (here's one at http://glutenfreemommy.com/baking-gluten-free-bread-millet-oatmeal-bread/)

Lasagna. An SCD lasagna here: http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-pastalasagne/vegetable-and-meat-lasagne/

Chilli. Lots of SCD chili recipes. Here's one: http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-vegetable/dans-chili/

Wraps.

Pancakes and Eggs. Eggs are a pretty healthy food. Why are you giving them up? These SCD pancakes are supposed to be great. Can't wait to try them when I add almond flour to my diet: http://nomorecrohns.blogspot.com/2008/10/review-of-jims-fluffy-pancakes.html

Waffles. SCD waffles - http://www.scdrecipe.com/recipes-pancake/nancys-waffles/

SALADS :( Once you get healed, salads are okay

Junk Food.

Candy. Honey is a good substitute for making candy. Here's one recipe: http://milkforthemorningcake.blogspot.com/2008/06/honey-toffee-lollipops.html

Chocolate.

Steak with grilled onions.

Hot dog and Hamburgers.

Fettucini.

Granola Bars.

Cereal with milk.

Many of the items you list you can have on the Specific Carbohydrate diet, as well as if you just went gluten/lactose free. You just have to make some substitutions. I added a few links in bold above (didn't have time to go over all your foods). Chocolate is the only thing that there is no substitution for, although there are some dessert recipes that claim to taste like chocolate (haven't tried them yet). Look around for some gluten free or SCD sites, and you will find many yummy looking foods. This one here has great pictures of all the foods she's made: http://milkforthemorningcake.blogspot.com/ . She has everything categorized in a menu at the right, so you can look at cakes, candies, breads, etc. There's also a lot of good pictures at http://nomorecrohns.com/deliciousrecipes.aspx . For me, it helps when you can actually see the food, so I love the sites that have pictures.

Grrr...just made chocolate chip cookies, apricot cream cheese cookies, and now have a lasagna in the oven(I'm wiped out...).
The best part? I won't be eating any of it hah...ah well, someday after things calm down and I find the safe and healthier alternatives.
Spookyhurst-thank you for posting that!

Ummmm FUDGE Oh, sorry, you guys just got me started. One holiday meal my boss made and brought about 5Lbs of fudge. I think I ate half a pound then was sugar drunk till I stumbed home from work. Good thing the cops didn't stop me. Then there's the lady I told you about who makes homemade toffie, nut brittles, and all things sugar. but never eats sugar. Yes, they will all laugh Wednesday when they bring the goodies, and one more time I will indulge. The first of the year, I will be a good girl and start the SCD once again. Not because of Crohn's GI symptoms, but the joint and soft tissue stuff is eating me up!

I was born into a restaurant family...worked the family business starting at age 7 and then went to the Culinary Institute of American and trained as a chef.

I grew up with a father whose only rule about food was that you had to try everything at least once before you said you wouldn't eat it.  So there is hardly any food I won't eat. 

Possibly to the harm of my health I have refused to let this DD slow down my love of all things food and drink.  The only concession I have made is that I try to eat more natural foods and less processed.  Certainly any foods that consistently cause me discomfort come off the list...such as TVP and processed frozen eggs and frozen egg patties (can't eat an Egg McMuffin to save my life)

But...sushi, eel, snake, raw oysters, clams, fresh shrimp raw or cooked, sea urchin, cactus, steak tartare (beef or horse)....dishes with goat, gator, or turtle.  It just doesn't matter...i love it all.

My greatest temptation is spicy food....YOU CAN'T MAKE IT HOT ENOUGH!!!  I love all kinds of spices...hot curry dishes....mexican or jamacian dishes...doesn't matter...I love them.  My fridge at home has about 2 doz hot sauces in it and my spice cabinet houses more kinds of pepper or curry than I can count.   There has never really been any specific food or spice (other than the TVP and processed egg products) that I can say positively hurts me or cause distress.

The only real positve thing about this disease and my tatse for foods is that where I once a huge fan of breads and desserts....I can take them or leave them.  If I order a dessert or make one...I try one or two bites...and that is it.  I enjoy them...I just don't crave them or desire to eat more than a few bites.
