Suddenly, my sleeve doesn't like root vegetables!

OK, I haven't puked from being too full in a long time, but for two consecutive dinner meals, I have, and I think the problem is root vegetables.

I made a pot roast over the weekend, and I put the usual onions, potatoes, celery, and carrots in the Crock Pot with the roast.

As I'm typing this, my tummy is roiling, and I think this is going to be lost dinner #3
.

The cut of beef was fresh (not corned) beef brisket. Could also be the texture of the meat combined with the texture of the root vegetables, but DSer's usually don't have to worry about all that.

Anyone???

 I'd probably eat half as much at your next meal and see how you feel. When something tastes good I tend to eat too much too fast. I've never vomited but I sure don't feel great for awhile.

The further out we get the easier it is to forget we have limits. :)

That's true, but I have the same issues with white meat chicken.   I buy the frozen boneless skinless chicken breast cutlets from Kroger.  They're a thinner cut version of regular frozen chiken breasts. They also have boneless skinless chicken thighs, which I also use. I always make sure I cook them with a sauce or in lots of chicken broth so that they're very moist.

I understand that the fat factor in dark meat is one reason it sits so well with us; perhaps it's the different textures of the muscle - breast vs. thighs -but I do like chicken breast, especially mixed with bacon on top of  a mixed baby greens salad with any kind of cheese (except Blue or Roquefort)  and almost any Kraft salad dressing!

I know this sounds like "diet food", but I actually like this stuff!

I have had trouble with onions.  Not puking, but having D.  I do better with the onions marked "sweet." Do you think maybe the roast was just so tasty that you ate too much?  Also did you cook the meat with enough fat and chew really well?  Just thinking maybe it might have been a little stringy.....

Yes, I did.  The cut itself had a very nice, about 1/4 inch blanket of fat on top of the lean part, and I cooked it overnight and then some in the Crock Pot.

I may have overdone it on the vegetables.  I love them when they've been cooked with the roast, great flavor!  I just barely had two slices,.

It's possible I just ate too doggone much, too!

 I'm blaming onions.  I did fine with them the first couple of years, but the last year or so, onions and I are NOT friends.

I'd guess it's the onions. I love them and eat them, and have very few food issues so nothing actually stops me from being a pig with them, but I have noticed there is a difference with onions.

There are just a couple of foods like cabbage and onions that I've noticed (forgive the TMI) that come out either looking or even smelling like they did going in. I figured it was too much for my DS system to fully break it down. In normal and altered guts, gas is typical of foods that are hard to break down. Lots of veggies are typically on that list, but when raw, not cooked.
