Let's talk food.  I use to pride myself in being the "thin one".  Then I quit smoking and have put on 18 lbs.  Now with the UC I am obsessed by food.  It's a psychological thing for me.  I feel like a child - that food is a no, no so guess what I want to eat it.  Am I normal? Does anyone else feel like this?  Just curious!

What you're feeling about food is normal for anyone that quits smoking regardless of having an IBD.

Since I quit gluten, soy, dairy, tomato, garlic, chili -- the foods I tested sensitive to -- I haven't craved them but I crave CHOCOLATE like never before. Maybe it's my age.

Nope i dont feel like that. I have some cravings few and far between who doesnt, but i can eat the same thing for dinner all week long and not blink. Its either fish and rice or chicken and rice, i cheat some on the weekends for doing good during the week.

I craved sugar like never before this summer. The only thing I could do was stop eating it.

I would instead have fruit, cottage cheese with some sugar free vanilla syrup, Sugar free hot cocoa, laughing cow light cheese with some Equal on top. peanut butter (I love any kind, natural or not). My sugar craving is gone--actually my use of artifical sweteners is down also.

I have always craved sweet things and sometimes you just give in big tme and pay rof it later.

I am still trying to figure out what I can eat. I have been living on rice cakes, ck soup, salmon, fish, rice, and some almond or cashew butter.
