caligirlnorth 11 Posted January 2, 2013 I'm able to tolerate brown rice in very very small amounts. I make sure Protein is first, no drinking liquids 30 minutes before or after eating. I am post op May 2008...suffered a blockage and almost died 11 days after my first surgery. Had emergency procedure to fix and love where I'm at right now and would do it all over again!

worm2872 635 Posted January 5, 2013 I've had about a tablespoon of brown. I would not do more then that just out of fear it puffs up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted January 5, 2013 Rice = low protein/high carb. I stay away. Try a little quinoa if you're really jonesing for grains... 1 slowtogo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

moofish 27 Posted January 5, 2013 I make a "salad" with chicken, quinoa, herbs, spices, and citrus juices. I don't eat grains very much, but when I do, it's a small amount of quinoa or a little bit of oats... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slowtogo 301 Posted January 5, 2013 Do you use mayo? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted January 5, 2013 nope---citrus juice and some type of oil (coconut, grapeseed, olive...depends on the flavor profile I want) Yummy! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted January 5, 2013 This is what I made for a holiday grain dish: Saute a bunch of chopped shallots/onions in oil and add spices ( I used garam masala, coriander, and cumin). Cook till spices are toasty. Add to cooked quinoa (I used red) with grapefruit juice, chopped pistachios and dried cherries, and chopped parsley. Everyone loved this...

slowtogo 301 Posted January 5, 2013 Sounds good. I like quinoa but havent done much with it due to just being my daughter and I and she wont eat it. Sam's club has a big bag of it cheap. Maybe I should try it in meatloaf Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
moofish 27 Posted January 5, 2013 It works great in meatloaf! Also, as a hot Cereal in the morning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
