@JLeslie okay, I follow and I agree, we’re on the same page.
The fat thing is always hit or miss. I seem to do better with animal based fats: dairy, eggs, meat don’t give me much issue. Dairy actually seems to help my stomach, especially yogurt or a glass of lowfat milk. Nonfat doesn’t have the same soothing effect. As for meats, I don’t eat dark or fatty poultry, and I don’t eat much pork, but it’s a good consideration, given that it seems that animal fats are easier for me to tolerate.
Plant fats tend to hit me harder… don’t ask me why. Olive oil is the worst culprit, for me, it makes me sick as a dog even in small amounts. Just a bit drizzled on a salad can have me in agony within minutes. But I can eat olives with no problem, how does that work? It’s a big mystery to me. I also have a really hard time with fried foods (which I don’t really consider to be a bad thing, just makes it all the easier to avoid that junk.)
@Tropical_Willie I love nuts, truly. I eat them regularly, but they are sort of a here or there thing. Sometimes I don’t have a problem with them, sometimes I do. They never make me as ill as the olive oil, and I like them enough to risk a stomachache to eat them. Walnut oil sounds very good, I don’t even know if I considered that as an option.
Thanks for the suggestions, all.
