I don't know what a FodMap diet is. I will have to look it up. I took a good brand of probiotic my brother got for me from Amazon for years but it did not help. Do you know the name of the antibiotic you took? When I was in the hospital last year they gave me a very high dose of antibiotics because I had a infection in my stomach. They finally cleared the infection up but it did not help the "D". I almost died.I will not block you... I feel so bad about your circumstances. I really do... When I had all my GI issues, my GI doc told me to go on a FODmap diet.. It is very hard to adhere to.. Being a vegetarian, I would to know whet to begin to advise you about it... What about a real dietician? One from the hospital, and not the place where you are living?
I also take a probiotic twice a day.. I think I had an overgrowth of bacteria in my bowels.. I was on a specific antibiotic for it.. This helped the 'D" dramatically, and the FodMap diet allowed 0my GI system to rest.. also no eggs, dairy, nuts, wheat, soy, fish..... I ate tuna once a week during Lent.
The denser cheeses, like parmesan and cheddar, do not have much lactose in them..
I know how horrible this food can be... I am living in an independent senior housing where the food program is mandatory!! and it is the worst quality of food there is.. the lowest quality and cooked inadequately...It is really inedible.. I cannot even force myself to eat any of it.. The chicken breast come with FEATHERS! They do not care... I almost feel like deducting the cost of the meal, each time I have to throw it away because it is inedible. I have complained and complained.. They just placate you by 'yessing' you to death; but do not do anything to fix the problem... So disgusted with the food...
Playing devil's advocate: Your family is probably thinking that you chose to be vegetarian, you can just as easily choose to not be vegetarian...

Right now, I would love to find some type of Protein shake, like Ensure, which is made without lactose, high fructose corn strip and without pea protein...
I cannot eat any of those items..
I have intolerance to both lactose and fructose... and I know, from experience, that I cannot have peas, pea protein, cabbage, brussels sprouts, etc....t
Yes, We do have to pay for the meals. It is in the lease.. dam..I don't know what a FodMap diet is. I will have to look it up.

I remember when you posted about the chicken feathers. That was so disgusting. Do you have to pay them a monthly fee for your food?
Peas, cabbage, brussel sprouts, lentils, beans, etc. also give me "D". The opioid they give me for pain helps control the "D" but I can't take that forever.
My family thinks that drinking the protein shakes solves my protein problem. They are nasty, expensive, high in calories and only has 16 grams of protein per bottle. As much as I am paying to live here I should not have to pay for my own nutrition. I have been a vegetarian for 62 years and I will never go back to eating meat. My family knows that.
For dinner I am having honey glazed carrots, roll and potatoes and a chocolate chip cookies.
My sister makes honey glazed carrots all the time. They are so good!For dinner I am having honey glazed carrots
Yes, they are good but I'm not really a fan of honey.My sister makes honey glazed carrots all the time. They are so good!
Thank you! I do plan on sticking around. LOL.Welcome to the forum. I hope you stay around.
aww i can cook up tasty breakfasts that wake you up from the smellLeftover spaghetti so, yes, game misconduct , I ate my dinner. LOL. I can't find your reply from Sunday. I got the email notification, though. My dietary doctor says that I need to eat three meals a day. I don't like to eat breakfast, though.
It doesn’t need to be a traditional breakfast. A handful of nuts and piece of fruit, or a protein smoothie counts as breakfast. Go with some protein and just a few carbs and you might not mind it.Leftover spaghetti so, yes, game misconduct , I ate my dinner. LOL. I can't find your reply from Sunday.
