So I really hope this thread doesn't just make people upset about what we can't eat. I know some of us can eat whatever we want, but many of us do have to avoid some of our favorites or pay the consequences.
So for those of you, like me, who have adjusted your diet, what would you eat for a day if you could eat anything and have a happy gut at the end of it?

Here's my imaginary day:

Breakfast:
Coffee (strong and black)
Fried egg on buttered toast
A maple bar doughnut

Lunch:
Chicken salad sandwich
Potato chips

Dinner & Dessert:
Cheese burger with french fries
A cold beer or 2 (we have a local brewery that makes a great porter)

cheesecake

Haha. No it doesn't upset me to think about what I would eat if I could because every now and then I do just that. It's been a year and a half+ on my pretty strict modified SCDiet and falling off the wagon now and then is justified IMO.

Here are some of my dreams: Great crusty french bread with lots of butter. Yes to donuts. Doritos. Yes, cheesecake and french fries. And having two glasses of white wine lol.

But right at this moment I wouldn't trade my remission for those foods. (Like I said I do eat some of them now and then with no horrible results).

I just got back from vacation which included a cruise (my first) and OMG I went down the path of forbidden desserts way too often. Cheesecake, chocolate cake, ice cream. Stayed away from bread/gluten as much as possible but some nights (and days) had 2 desserts per meal. I live to tell the tale haha.

When I'm in my home and surrounded by good gut foods I no longer obsess about them but when they are staring me in the face well I'm only human.

Here's the positive side of diet mod.: no dieting necessary to look and feel good and I never gain/lose weight. SCD is a very healthy diet, too bad UC had to be the reason I found it.

edit: (read Reds' post) I'd eat more fruits if I could, used to be a vegetarian who ate a LOT of fruit.

I love salt but can't have much of it b/c of my kidneys.

for breakfast I would have bacon, bacon and more bacon and a ginormus caramel iced coffee to wash it all down.

lunch I would have a muffaletta sandwich with extra salty meat, provolone cheese with salt n' vinegar chips in the sandwich to make it crunchy

dinner would be crab rangoons, beef teriyaki with hot and sour soup and mai tai's!

Dessert would be very old sharp salty cheddar cheese and crackers with red wine

Then I would probably need to have my stomach pumped....

For me:

Breakfast would be a texas cut french toast with butter and syrup, bacon, hash browns and french vanilla iced coffee.

Lunch, mushroom swiss burger really rare with onion rings

Dinner would be a huge salad, crusty french bread with butter and lasagna

Oh, and chocolate cake. Lots and lots of chocolate cake :)

Here's what I miss:

Peanut butter (allergic to peanuts)
Melons (high fructose)
Honey (high fructose)
Apples (sorbitol)
Maple syrup (maple)
Juice (high fructose)

I go to Apple Hill once a year and eat apple goodies. The rest I've given up completely.

oooh, I forgot hash browns! I'm totally having hash browns on my fantasy food binge.

And I also agree with bananagirl, I do enjoy all the food I cook. I just miss certain things every once in a while.

Fried Chicken! I would eat fried chicken either for lunch or dinner. I don't know when, but if I were able to eat that again I'd be in heaven.

ok is it weird that i have better formed bm's when I eat a cheeseburger than when I eat baked chicken or something bland?

Beni-Hana, with yum yum sauce on everything.

Nothing I consume affects my UC now that I am in remission, except for alcohol. But I don't want to drink that much of it anyway. I do restrict what I eat, however, due to weight issues. So if I could eat whatever I wanted and not gain weight - well ALL bad things! Cake, ice cream, pizza, fried chicken... oh you name it.

I did indulge last weekend at the PNE. I tried deep fried Oreos! Does that sound gross? They were AWESOME. I tried a deep fried poptart as well, but it was only okay.
