Soylent: Recipe, Reflux

Description:

Maybe this recipe will work.  I have mild acid reflux (mild most of the time, anyhow).  I looked up foods that are supposed to help.  Out of the lists I found, only a few fit into soylent well.  The first was oatmeal (I figure oat flour counts), which I already have.  Two others were parsley and ginger.  Since both can be bought in powdered form I decided to try them.  The one day test I did with this recipe indicated that it was helping some, but not perfectly.  That said, it is possible my normal food meals from the day before aggravted the condition.  I'll test it more soon.

As usual, for a thick mixture, mix this with enough water to fill three 20fl oz Gatorade bottles (so, with water, you get 60fl oz).  If you want it thinner, add enough water to get 80fl oz total (or just add water to the desired thickness).  For best results, blend the mixture.

Information:

Low calories again.  I recommend figuring out your recommended calorie intake based on your weight and height, then adding more calories as recommended in my Documents post.

This recipe has enough cinnamon to increase insulin sensitivity, and should take only 30 days to see the full benefits.  Also, a packet of processed stevia sweetener can be added to potentially increase insulin sensitivity.  (This statement has not been reviewed by the FDA etc...)

So, before making this recipe, I added the capability to calculate fiber and sugar content of the recipes, and I found that all of my recipes are slightly short on fiber.  This should not cause much problems, especially given that most people don't get anywhere near as much fiber as any of my recipes provide.  Still, when I made this recipe, I increased the flaxseed meal to get the fiber up to the 38 grams recommended by the IOM.  If I do make a recipe book, I will rework the other recipes to have the right amount of fiber.  As it is, I don't think the slight deficiency will make a huge difference, so if you really want enough fiber, you can work out the alterations yourself.  (Hint: the flaxseed meal is one of the highest fiber ingredients.)
