YES! Sounds like a plan. If I had not had 5 huge chocolate chocolate-chip cookies, I would be having some Bailey's Irish Cream right now, but I already have the chocolate runs. Not good.

PS Maybe I should try a BIT of mashed potato on a chocolate cookie. Neutralize the thickeners with the thinners. :-)

LOL mashed potato on a cookie, thats hilarious!!!
i've been thinking about this potato thing for a long time now, they are a thickening food, what else did you eat that might have contributed? I noticed too, that i dont driink as much water on vacations, cause im so busy i don't think about it and at home i always have a bottle of water with me, so maybe you weren't drinking enough water too.
And we had this steak on the cruise (i know its a different line but i think they all have the same menus) it was called short rib something, and it like fell apart, i could barely get it to my mouth! i think you could eat that, the filet mignon was the same way.

Oh, the fall apart steak sounds really good. Have not found any of that yet.

The potato thing was strange. One of the episodes I did not drink with it but had lots of water before it. The second one I drank water with it. I know potatoes are thickening foods big time. Just like bananas. I don't deal with them any more either. Coconut water has twice the potassium of a banana so I just drink that for potassium. Always hated bananas anyway. RJ

     Rosemary.....would you believe they gave me those huge potassium pills in one of our local hospitals?  That was back in August when they took me in because of dehydration.  The ambulance wouldn't take me across the bridge to Philly, so had to go to Camden instead because we are in south Jersey.  It wasn't only one pill, it was two!!!!  I told them what happened and the next day what did they do?  Came into my room with two more huge potassium pills..lololol...oy...and people ask me why I went to Philly for my operation.  Well, for one reason....I am here today and I doubt I would be if I had my operation in one of the south Jersey hospitals. tongue

WOW! Christine that is something about South Jersey. What IS it about some medical people, how could they have gotten through medical school and/or nursing school and be so CLUELESS????

Yeah, good thing you went to Philly for surgery.

Rosemary, where do you buy coconut water? Husband is deathly allergic to coconut so I would have to be careful.
Posted 2/15/2011 12:49 AM (GMT 0)
I found the coconut water in Stop and Shop supermarket and also in natural food stores. So, the coconut water would be all for you, not to share with hubby. I know what allergies are like. I have a severe one to peanut.

This is an interesting thread to me as well, because I  now eat everything! salad , steak cabbage and even celery last weekend. I wonder if the starch in the potatoes is what is holding you up? On aclohol,  I drink mainly wine now (make my own...you should try it!) I had one blockage about a week after I got home but since then not even a cramp, but I do try to pair my drinks with the more solid food..like juice or wine with a steak meal and maybe tea or lemonaide with fish or seafood. And I always make sure I drink a lot with the heavy foods to help the process.

I think you're right fish, fluid and "go fluids" with thickening foods. It's all in the balance. Rosemary

ha ha dan, you silly boy!

you know i mean that food will put on 10 lbs in five minutes!

Only problem I have had was from a mushroom. Apparently, so I found out after it competely blocked me up, they have a fiberous skeleton which can be difficult to digest. I had been eating them for years and love them but have a stricture and this one field mushroom was bit chewy when I ate it but thought nothing of it til next day.

Luckily, managed to get blockage unstuck. After no movement for 12 hours I am very violently sick and this motion seemed to unblock iy like a cork from a bottle.

So now I avoid mushrooms, shame cause I used to love them but happily eat everything else am just bit careful with chewy meat, just in case!

did that happen with canned mushrooms? they are more smushy than fresh.
Posted 2/19/2011 12:28 PM (GMT 0)
No it was a large stuffed field mushroom, just as I was eating it it did seem very chewy if you know what I mean. Canned mushrooms, couldn't face them as they are too slimy. If a dish has tiny bits of chopped mushroom then it is ok, just can't have fried button mushrooms or stuffed field mushrooms, both of which were my favourites.
