Fermented soybeans are delicious. Very good for your cholesterol. Great with white rice or other vegetables grilled or boiled. Really great with Japanese pickles if you can find them. Two small hand fulls of rice, pickles and fermented soybeans make for a healthy light meal.
Seaweed/nari not roasted. There are many varieties. Try them out.
If you have any Asian markets near you, check for daicon. (dye-kone). Excellent for soup stock with potatoes, onions, carrots. They have lots of fiber and easy to pass.
Burdock root - tons of fiber. Chopped or shredded - Excellent with other veggies and spices to taste. Be careful burdock is fiber loaded.
Japanese sweet potatoes - not as sweet as yams and full of fiber. Excellent roasted or micro-wave steamed.
Tofu and miso soup. Both are cleansers and good for your digestion.
Tofu, grilled with scallions and small bits of lean pork if you are having a "wreckless" day.
Tofu with a little soy sauce.
Get her pancreas back on track. I saw an interesting doc recently that suggests the pancreas may be running the human body show more than the brain. Metabolism, digestion-wise. I was unaware of this.
Eat as little meat as possible. Small amounts of fish are okay but red meat, pork and chicken even are proving to be not so good.
Olive oil is indeed your friend. Can she handle chick peas? Hommus and olive oil with arab/greek pocket breads are filling and pretty healthy, easy on the system.
We've been making organic salad lately with cucumbers, tomatoes, cottage cheese and olive oil. Really delicious with no salt saltines.
