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.

Thank you so very much for taking your time to type all of that out, I know it had to be a pain in the ass, but I appreciate it very much. She sees an Upper GI Specialist on Wednesday and we'll get more answers on what is going on and how exactly to manage it - it just keeps going up and down and her Dr has not given us one damn reason why.
disinfected - she loves blended drinks, so that may be a great idea - she's been pretty damn accommodating and very low on the rictor of battling me on this whole thing - so we'll be looking into that for sure.
