Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Unfortunately I have no idea how to make Broccoli slaw. Many salad bars and delis feature it and I just love it. The kind I've had has finely chopped broccoli, and carrots raisins and bacon bits in what I think is Cole slaw dressing. I bet there are recipes on the web. Raw Broccoli is awesome, the boiled variety to me taste like boiled tree bark YUCK! Just as well the benefits are with the raw stuff anyway!

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 They won't let me eat Broccoli and I would love some! I have read you have to eat it mixed with tomato's though but they would be ok. I am not allowed to eat any fresh fruit or veggies plus not much of anything I think is good for my diet. My surgeon has been on vacation and I have anxiously waited for his return as it is time to get something done so I can eat regular and leave the house away from the bathroom:) When my last PET showed cancer again he had said we could do surgery or wait and take another scan. I stayed calm for awhile but lately am very nervous about it. Last year when my PET said cancer it turned out false. I hope this is but then something has to be done about my striture or what ever has been causing problems for the past 22 months since my colon resect. He said the PET only showed cancer not a tumor or anything else. I am going to insist tomorrow to have another scan and wonder what would show if this was a mass or tumor? Last year they had to go in and do cat scan guided biopsies. That is when my irregular heart beat showed up but anyone having a big needle put in their back and half through the body just might have irregular heartbeats:) Actually it was not so bad. After going through the endoscopic ultra sound guess I can handle any of them. I have always had a fear about anything going down my throat. He said this last pet just showed up area around the staples in my colon. I can't have a colonoscopy because of the striture they can't get the instrument in. Insurance won't pay for the virtual colonoscopy so none of the Dr's here are doing them. Hil Re: Brocolli Sounds Yummy!!!! Share how you make it please????? Ingrid > I just love broccoli slaw.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 All of this waiting and guessing is just too awful. I am adding some extra prayers for you too. And am hoping you can get to have Boccoli. fresh fruit and veggis soon. Ingrid > > I just love broccoli slaw. Much like Cole slaw with the occasional > addition > > of bacon or ham.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 If you can get someone else to wash and cook the broccoli you could probably eat a little bit. The Leafy green vegies react some how with the blood thinner some of us are taking. You can get canned or frozen in a pinch...

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2005 Report Share Posted April 26, 2005 Any veggie I eat has to be canned and unfortunately because Broccoli is gassy it is a no no on my soft diet list. I have a terrible gas problem with everything that is not even suppose to cause gas. That is why I think it is time I get some answers.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Try taking Beano that will cure the gas in a heartbeat. Was recommended awhile for when I took trip to Ireland - eating their delicious soda bread causes major gas. Had to stop eating it before I came home, they would have kicked my off the plane. Course no doubt everyone was in the same situation. LOL... Gas-X works too I believe. Boy if I had just got the Beano the other day I could have had some relief... LOL I think gas problem is just the nature of the beast...

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 You can buy the chopped shreded broccoli in most salad depts of a good supermarkets. I got it one tme and it turned out to be a bit too much broccoli... About a 1/4 of it with regular slaw would have been good enough. ... Sounds good with carrots, raisins and bacon bit. Doesn't take much to get me thinking of food and finding somehthing that soothe my hunger desires. I want some nice big fat shrimp marinated, maybe lightly breaded and cooked on the barbie... They have it on sale now for $9.99 lb about 12-15 biguns per lb. Yummmm... Course to compensate think I will make something cajun that has sausage and little bitty shrimps in it and beans. Going to cook something extra for when we go to daughter Laurie's tomorrow, having a small part for her hubby's daughter who is here visiting from UK.. Got to finish up the stuff I made her. A Sort of journal album with places for writing about her trip to America and meeting her cousins etc and also extra places for photos.She is 9 should still get a kick out of stuff like that. Her half sisters are being a pain, jealous cause she came and they didn't. They are older and are too busy playing guilt games with their dad so he compensates by buying them things etc. Exchange rate is not a pleasant subject in there house right now. LOL... Well I feel much better this morning. It won't last I am sure. Have to do my shot, take my meds and clean up family room. Then will go to grocery store to buy what I need for tomorrow. Made out my bills and I am officially broke - pay day not until Friday.. So now I scrape until mid month. Hopefully get caught up by then and back on track..

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I am not sure if it is related to Irritable Bowel Syndrome. If that is what you have there is a website you could visit. Just search " Shaz's Pages " . If you have a problem let me know.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Recipe sounds great. I am assuming everyone here knows to leave out the sugar. Karima I have a really large article on sugar feeding cancer but don't know how to upload it. Sugar is a definite no no for people with cancer...it feeds the cancer.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I never thought about it but actually the boiled variety gives me MORE gas and I don't have cancer.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 When you eat plain broccoli, you eat it raw? Does that not cause more gas? Which causes less gas? Raw or boiled? Love raw brocoli with vegi dip. Ingrid > Unfortunately I have no idea how to make Broccoli slaw. > Many salad bars and delis feature it and I just love it.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 I honestly think thre chemo causes the stinky bad gas. Had day two of chemo today and was worried the nurse would happen to come in my room when I had to let one go. So stinky. Had a room to myself so could not blame it on someone else. LOL And of course had to leave my dog home so could not blame the dog either.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Jolene, Your cooking sounds so good. Can I hire you for a cook once my chemo mouth gets back to normal, whatever normal is.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2005 Report Share Posted April 27, 2005 Sounds yummy!! Will try to make it and have it in a few weeks when chemo mouth gets better. Want to tast every drop of it. Also have used that mayo, vineger and sugar dressing with cucumbers and tomates. Can substitute sour cream for the mayo. It is good that way too. Not sure if sour cream would go with broccoli. Perhaps not.
