I have an issue here

Okay well because of IBS and other stomach issues, I was told to stick to liquids/soft foods for a couple weeks-months

My choices are limited because

im lactose intolerant, allergic to gluten, and i hate soup because i get so bloated

All i've been eating is

Boiled carrots

Jello

Juiceboxes

Light Juice

Marshmallow fluff [DONT ASK :P]

And ensure bleck

Well I've been craving REAL food so i made a bad choice and bingedddd on veggie meatballs/Honey bunches of oats...i ate all the oats/sugary pieces out of the WHOLE box, and plus had about 500 calories of marshmallow fluff

what can i eat that wont leave me feeling bored/unsatisfied?

surely not all soups make you bloated.  it's probably your best bet for getting adequate nutrition.  what kinds of soup have you tried?

Can you make smoothies mixed with various fruits (and veggies if you like)?  You can always make the consistency of smoothies to be thicker or thinner by adding more or less of the juice added. 

You can add protein powder to increase calories and nutrients.

To be quite honest, most soups do

All resturant ones do, most canned, and then even most of the organic brand ones do

Thanks for the smoothie idea!

You could try making a soup... literally all you need is an onion, a few carrots and a tin of tomatoes for a simple soup - you can see exactly what calories you're putting in... plus without any cream etc that restaurants probably use, you might find you feel ok  Most packaged soups make me feel a bit queasy, but you couldn't keep me away from homemade stuff if you tried

i was on the same diet, so i'm prettty much a pro =)

fruit smoothies

MAKE your own soup by pureeing steamed veggies with a little broth in the blender

i lived on soy chai tea lattes

ensure blended with soy ice cream

soy yogurt with berries

brown rice and veggies blended together

scrambled eggs/omelettes

hey there,

I can definitely help you with this, I have severe dietary restrictions and gastrointestinal problems... some foods that help me:

First, Can you have nuts? I mean like smooth peanut butter, almond butter? Nutella?? (I LOVED that)

Ok. as for "real food" that is soft:

Oatmeal, cream of wheat, farina, squash soups made with rice milk, soy milk, Beans (lentils can make a delicious lentil vegetable soup. if you want boil the vegetables,(Carrots, zuchini, celeary, onions, etc) and blend them with a food processor or blender) then add in the lentils (cooked obviously) for some texture so you don't feel like you're eating just liquid.

are you allowed to have brown rice? quinoa? millet? barley? those are tiny grains.

also if you really want cereal what you can do is take your favorite cereal and warm it in the microwave with rice milk or whatever milk you can have..get it to a semi-mushy consistancy it's delicious like your own oat meal invention. (if you're lucky and can have like lucky charms or sugar cereals throw some of that in with a heartier fiber cereal for some kick and taste)

 

Smoothies, possiblities are endless. They make gluten free ice creams, also sorbets are a good option. Fruits go crazy it's summer stock up on whatever your favorite fruites are and freeze them. Yogurts have endless choices I know Whole foods has some nice gluten free optoins.

 

PUDDINGS...you can get creative, tapioca, rice pudding!!! that's delicious. make a mix of rice pudding with what you can have..

i hope some of these suggestions help I have many many more I suffered with severe GI problems for years so I understand. Please feel free to message me any time.

I have to agree with tiffanybreak, I too suffer with IBS. First year I ate nothing but baby food, and mashed potatoes. Now I can pretty much eat whatever I like for me, it is the stress factor that kicks in. So let's say I ate a salad, and something upsets me or gets me stressed.....I run to the ladies room for about 20 minutes non stop...don't want to be graphic......but definitely no nuts, tomatoes, green peppers, what I did find that helped was potatoe chips and spearment tea. They eased my colon.....it is nothing more than like have a baby your colon goes into spasms!!!

I dont have a lot of advice but with the soup it could be making you bloated because of the sodium... they're packed with salt. Have you tried low sodium ones or healthy choice?

And yes smoothies are great. For extra nutrition add protein or flax seed or something like that
