Erm.....my previous before diabetic was pasta, lettuce, cucumber, spring onion, simple soups, occasional omelette (rare) no spices or rice, beans cornflakes.snacks were crisp and choc and oranges but not any longer although if I am honest still have to have an orange daily.
Bet you wished you never asked.
I too have very limited food due to stomach issues. Are you intolerant or do you have gastroparesis that makes you vomit? Just wondering as GP Persons can also have weight gain despite being tube fed!
Anyhow, I would imagine possibly that tomatoes and onions may also be bad, as they certainly are for me.
I am now a healthy size 8, not a skinny 8. I eat a teaplate of avocado-50g, 100g skinned cucumber and corned beef (now able to tolerate). Can't have soups due to onion always being in them.
I have smoothies, really yum ones. Eg the last 3 days I have had a smoothie from coconut milk, yogurt, avocado, orange, 2 small bananas, heaps of blueberries. This when divided in to 6 glasses is 27g of carb and is delicious.
I have coconut milk to wnsure I get adequate nutrients each day. I have this for brunch.
I've found I can eat overcooked broccoli, corned beef, 2 small potatoes, 1 cauliflower head grated, 1/2 butternut squash roasted, turmeric, meditereanean herbs in a huge pan fried... this is 6 meals and keeps ok in fridge. As do the smoothies for 3 days. This normally works out about 16 carbs.
Oh and that includes a 100g of courgette fried separately.
I can tolerate a cider and cream sauce which is lovely with it too.
I do have posched eggs or soft boiled eggs with courgette.
I love spiralised courgette fried by itself or with the sauce.
Unfortunately with any eating issues, it is a suck it and see for the individual... not many peoplehave limitations on their foods and it is a case really of trying to adapt things and certainly trying things that you may never have tried before etc....
