Food You Hate?

I'd be hard pressed to really name any foods that I hate. About seven months ago I was diagnosed with Ulcerative Colitis and have suffered four severe flares since.

Each time, my diet was severely restricted for a period of several weeks starting with clear liquid (nothing but broth, water, tea, ginger ale, and jell-o for a total of 600 calories per day) for a few days followed by low residual (highly processed foods only with little or no fiber content--no whole grains, no nuts or seeds, no fresh fruits, no fresh vegetables, no fibrous meats) for a few weeks.

After the first few days of the clear liquid diet, I found myself craving foods that I wouldn't normally think about. All kinds of vegetables, fruits, meats, grains, nuts; they all were constantly crossing my mind. The thought of brussel spouts, asparagus, beets, liver, cauliflower, etc made me drool during those times.

Consequently, the only foods I avoid are the ones I possess an allergy to: Most nuts (except for almonds), bananas, kiwi, and most melons. Everything else is a flavor experience to be savored.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
