Year 3, Day 35: Home Sick

I knew I could not go to work today, but I had to get up with Ruby anyway. I had my regular breakfast, but then I spent all day eating Matzoh & Cream Cheese and Popcorn (not very Passovery). It's very hard to make the decision to call in sick, but Magnolia was not well and I just felt so so bad. So home I stayed.

10 Foods Tough to Digest (See the whole list here )
Anytime you take a food, dip it in batter and then deep fry it, you turn it into something that can be a bit hard on the gut. Fried foods inevitably are greasy and high in fat, both of which spell trouble for the stomach. If you already suffer from inflammatory bowel disease, greasy foods are especially problematic and can cause symptoms like nausea and diarrhea, says Tara Gidus, a dietitian in Orlando, Fla. To make a healthier version, take frozen chicken nuggets (or use your own breadcrumb batter on chicken breasts) and bake them rather than frying.

The advice to forgo fried for flavorful alternatives is also helpful for other traditionally greasy snacks, like potato chips. To get the crunchy, salty sensation of chips without the unfortunate side effects, look for baked versions of potato chips or switch to low- or no-fat snacks like pretzels, air-popped popcorn or soy crisps.
