Granny, I usually put the whole chickens in the crockpot for a couple of hours. I then remove the meat and throw the bones back in for a few more hours. I have an Instant Pot so the whole procedure can be reduced with that. If you cook the meat longer than that it gets quite mushy but this way the meat is good and you get all the good stuff out of the bones. If you don't have issues with either chicken or beef I think they both have good healing properties.

I ate maybe 1/2 oz to mayb 3/4 oz of the cheddar cheese this afternoon. No horrible reaction but I did think my stomach got a little uncomfortable and some rumbling happening. So guess I will shelve that for now. If I can get my soup made tomorrow I think that will help me a lot. By the way does anyone know what makes ground beef chewey sometimes. Is it the quality of the meat or did I just over-cook it. I had been eaten extra lean and it didn't seem chewey, but tonight I used 86% lean cause I figured I needed the fat and it was chewey.
Hi Kathy
The type of cut of meat can depend on it being chewy....only buy sirloin burger, and better yet if you can buy from a personal grower I’d do that. In the mean time be wary of lighter pink cuts of beef they may have additives in them and I don’t mean the pork fat they add to them. Some beef is not worth a store to even be selling it. My stepdad has raised beef for the last 20 years....I seldom eat store bought but when i need to it’s sirloin burger the more dark red the beef the more pure it is.

Hi! 5' 7" 118 now, 150 a year ago! I'm like 2 mosquito bites on stick
I cook all my meats in the crock pot, overnight too. I'm thinking I can't do potatoes. Need calories and carbs, have added Enjoy Life brownie bars, I just need other carbs I can handle and use olive oil and smart balance soy free like Erica.
Can't handle the smell of hamburger anymore so... that's out. Tried Duck eggs, no go there either.

Can you tolerate any grains? Grains are very fattening. They're the main ingredient in all feedlot rations because they're the cheapest, most efficient way to put on weight.

You and I sound like twins. I'm 5'7". Dr. weighed me at 108 but my scales say 113.8 so not sure which ones right. I know what you mean - I feel like a skeleton. Me too on needing some calories. I tried cheddar cheese yesterday - not good.
Tex I'm glad you mentioned the grains. I need to do more rice. I have been doing potatoes - either sweet or bakers almost every meal though.
"Enjoy Life Brownie Bars?" I guess I should look into those. I have been eating some GF, DF coconut macaroons. I thot I was doing ok with them, but yesterday when I ate one, I thought maybe not. But hard to tell. Yesterday was just not a good tummy day anyhow.
I've been back on 9 mg Budesonide a day for the past 4 days. Today makes 5 days and still having WD. I think its beginning to not work for me.
Also been wanting to ask, should I take Immodium if the Budesonide is not stopping the D. I just feel like I'm not getting any nourishment because it is going though me. Would stopping the D with Immodium allow my body to absorb some calories? I mean its not all day D. Usually 2 episodes each morning and then I'm done for the day - but still.
Another question, is it mainly the egg white that we don't tolerate? Could I try boiled eggs - eating the yolks only.

Imodium is safe to take pretty much any time (unless you have constipation symptoms). There are two schools of thought:
1. Slowing down motility enhances nutrient absorption
2. The diarrhea is present for a reason and you'll feel better if you get it out of your system
Probably both are true to a certain extent.
EnteroLab tests for antibodies to the egg white. That doesn't mean that the egg yolk is safe, but there is a reasonably good chance that it may be OK for most people, so eating the yolks only is worth a try.

What grains? I do rice, thought I was doing better without it though, now I'm not sure.tex wrote:Imodium is safe to take pretty much any time (unless you have constipation symptoms). There are two schools of thought:

Any of the cereal grains (except wheat, rye, spelt, and barley). That includes rice, but a few people are sensitive to rice. Corn (maize) or sorghum are some other choices, but more people are sensitive to corn than rice. And sorghum is closely-related to corn, although it has a somewhat different flavor and contains less lysine.
I assume you were eating white rice — brown rice contains too much fiber for most of us to be able to tolerate while we're recovering.
