(Now, on the serious side: Wow, smart move on your part. I bet those are going to taste great. I truly am so very happy for you. I find it very difficult to cook or make something to eat, when I'm hurting. You were so very smart! Way to go!)
I would be happy to send her your way! Be warned: she's an almost 80 year old farm girl raised by a German mother who is also the wife of an alcoholic (aka She isn't afraid to speak her mind and does so often )

I actually put all my recipes on my 'regular' blog

My goodness. Hmmm.. Imagine that. I seem to be suffering from short term memory loss due to CRPS. What was my address again? Oh it all seems just so far out of the way for her! I mean, it is so slippery with the ice and snow and such, as a person moves from place to place during the winter. Oh, And the candy gram lady lives 2 doors down, so there is that to think about. Oh well, and I certainly don't want to put your mom out any! Oh, and then there is the neighbors dog. You know, the one that wags it's tail and licks people. So there is that to think about. Oh and Hey, you know what? It's good. It's all good. he he. cough.. I'm good.. I'm good. See you in Miami Mom of Always Believe. Enjoy! Be Good!

*Whew*

Hey Spike,

I literally have pretty much the same exact issues. I completely changed up my diet by eating much healthier, not such big portions and not eating till I felt full. At first I cut out junk foods, soda, fast foods, etc. Then slowly once in awhile I would treat myself but with much smaller portions than before. But man, when I cheat and treat myself to something, I am almost immediately regretting it. No need to go into detail, since we have all had our share of these occurances, lets just say that I have spent way too many nights on the floor from the nausea(which has been pretty frequent for me). But I am a foodie, through and through. Always have been and always will be. However now, I really try to either have very little of that "cheat treat" or try to replace it with something else thats similar. Honestly for me its a difficult battle because I have other stomach/complexities that add to it.
I do wonder sometimes if I have a problem with gluten, that maybe something you also want to look into as I have been.
But I will say that a huge help has been Peppermint Tea. Hot or cold. I like to buy it in its natural form(crushed up dryed leaves/stems), I also grow it in my home and outside garden, so that I always have it in the house. Plus it has some other positive benefits for your internal systems. Just add honey or sugar, but I find that the honey has a better affect.
I also began smoking medical marijuana(which I absolutely feel helps tremendously, especially when the pain and or nausea is just way to much to bare)as well as making butter and oil to cook with my food.
So if you are a tea person, I would definitely give this a try, do a little experiment or a few. Especially before and after you eat those "cheat treats." Hopefully you find some relief.
