Meat issues

Have you tried marinades with the fish and chicken? I find that it makes a big difference.

TRY BOCA . BOCA CRUMBLE IS REALY GOOD

Hi Troy, what is boca boca crumble?

Early out I couldn't stomach any form of chicken including eggs.

Minced beef, pork or lamb went down a treat. Fish too.

Around 3 months I was able to eat chicken again.

The key is moisture. To have chicken I have to cut it small (short muscle fibers are easier to digest) and make it extra moist, normally with gravy.

I also chew a lot more than before. That helps.

Well, I don't eat meat at all.  I get protein from dairy products including cheese and Greek yogurt, beans and soy products.

Hi Kelly.  Where do you get recipes for Soy products?  Would like to try this.  I have a hard time with chicken and fish also.  That's why I was on here looking.  I've got to find more of a variety of foods to eat.  Thanks for your help!

I use a lot of the Morningstar Farms products.  They have fake chicken and fake ground beef that is really made of soy.  You can use it in any recipes that would really have chicken or beef.

Here are two of my favorites:

White Chili

2 bags Morningstar Fars fake chicken
one onion, diced
one red bell pepper, diced
one can (4 oz) diced green chilies
one cup salsa (I use medium but you can use hot if you prefer; I just buy the store brand)
three cups chicken or vegetable broth
three cans Great Northern beans
one tablespoon minced garlic
cumin
garlic powder
onion powder

In a big pot, sauté the garlic, onion and diced red pepper in a little olive oil until slightly soft.  Add the chicken and sprinkle liberally with cumin, garlic powder, and onion powder.  Stir and cook for a couple minutes.  Add the broth, beans, green chilies and salsa.  Stir.  Add ½ teaspoon of cumin, ¼ teaspoon of onion powder and ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder (or more if you want it spicier).  Stir.  Bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer for about 40 minutes.

Traditional Style Chili

2 bags Morningstar Farms soy crumbles
one onion, diced
two jalapeno peppers, diced fine
two cans broth (I use veggie, but you could use beef or chicken)
one can diced tomatoes
one tablespoon minced garlic
chili powder to taste (I use about two tablespoon and it’s medium-spicy)

If you’re using ground beef, cook it first.  If you’re using the soy crumbles, no need.  In a bit pot, sauté the garlic and onion in a little olive oil until slightly soft.  Add the ground beef or soy crumbles and diced jalapeno peppers and cook for a couple minutes.  Add the broth, diced tomatoes and chili powder.  Bring to a boil, stir well, then reduce heat and simmer about 40 minutes.  Serve it with shredded cheese on top if you like.

My favorite chicken early out and still is boneless, skinless thighs in the crock pot with a can of golden mushroom soup. White meat gets stringy, dark doesn't. I freeze what is leftover in small one serving bags and eat it as needed.

You can get ground turkey and chicken as well as texurized protein instead of beef if your Dr doesn't want beef.

I dont tolerate meats that well so my go to nowadays are chesesticks. When I do eat meats it's mainly shrimp or chicken thigh. MUCH less dense than breasts. I also ALWAYS have some sauce of some type with it.
