Chicken is notoriously hard to digest early on. Even 6 weeks out. Some fish will give you problems too. Just wait a while and try it again in a week or two. Sometimes it just takes time for certain foods. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sallynew 18 Posted March 16, 2012 so should i continue on toast , biscuits and popcorns Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dooter 1,457 Posted March 16, 2012 so should i continue on toast , biscuits and popcorns maybe try some softer Proteins, like Beans or eggs, and you can add some low fat cheese to those for added Protein. Greek yogurt is also high in Protein as well as low carb yogurts. Always eat protein and veggies before you get into the carbohydrates like toast and biscuits. I'd say mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes or even butternut squash or spaghetti squash would be a better option if you want some carbs that sit well in your stomach. You can put a dab of light butter and sea salt. Very good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jesusislove 26 Posted March 16, 2012 Are you a teenageer, new sally? Be encouraged and don't be so hard on yourself, you will get the hang of it. Eat slowly, and try softer things as Dooter has suggested. Take care. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dooter 1,457 Posted March 16, 2012 Sallynew, I think there may be a language barrier issue? I took Calitrells answer as soft, just asking a question about your age. I think i remember from one of your other posts that you are not in the U.S., is that correct? We are just curious about you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do like dark meat chicken now. If something doesn't sit well, don't eat it yet. Try later. Refried Beans were wonderful. I have heard that popcorn is a bad idea too soon because of the hulls.
