And broccoli actually heals the stomach. It may not feel like that at first, but it will.
Also, tell you Mom she does'nt have to eat all the vegs raw. I nuke my broc for about 45 seconds and add butter and salt. Yum!!

Same thing with all the others. If she is sensitive, she can start out with cooked vegs until she feels better.

I have not made my goal yet, but I have been on this diet before. By the time I met my goal then, all my fibro symptoms were gone! It was really wonderful, but strange. I had become so use to having pain every day, that I think I went into shock! Before low carb, my tummy was so sensitive, I couldn't even stand to lay on it, or have anyone touch it. My whole intestinal area. That also disappeared with low carb.

I wish you luck with you Mom. I know it is hard to change what you have been taught for so long.
