Best stimmy foods

[Full Steam]

I've figured out that a lot of my stims are from food.

Crunch food.

Roast potatoes. I could eat them and nothing else, just dipped in gravy.
Chips
Crisps
Rice cracker
Nuts

Hot food and chilli powder in everything.
Perfectly cooked medium grain and sushi rice - bouncy chewey heaven!

Sweet and sour foods
Heavy red wine, but I can only have a glass due to sulphites.
Hoppy beers.

Fudgesicles are at the top of my list along with ice cubes this summer.
Sushi rice, usually calrose, sometimes bomba rice.
Cucumbers, radishes, crunchy lettuces.
Walnuts, pecans, sunflower seeds, pumpkin seeds, & peanuts
Apples, peanut butter, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries.
Toast, potato chips, crackers, corn chips.
Herbal teas, with honey. Tomato juice.

I like chewing gum sometimes. I don't like mint gum though, the taste is too strong.

I'm with you on the popcorn - great crunch and feel, but nope - not having those bits between my teeth - yuck.

It's all about the crunch.

I think it's the sound in the ears + jaw pressure which combines to create the perfect stimmy-crunch.

Crunchy veges don't do it for me, and crunchy things that atomise on chomp are just rubbish - I'm thinking of you Monster Munch!

I used the like crunchy french bread that lacerates the roof of my mouth for an additional twist of pain, but I'm gluten free (or very low now).

Poor me

Me too. I can barely eat a piece of toast for breakfast, or one cracker, my stomach becomes so bloated. So, corn chips as a snack or my own corn or rice flour flatbread.

I had a few bits of gluten stuff last week and felt tired, bloated and down for 3 days.

Definitely not good for me.

I especially like hot soup during cold or rainy weather. I like collecting recipes for different kinds of soups and also invent my own recipes.

A mug of tea can be soothing.

Fresh baked bread makes me feel good while it is raising and cooking because of the smell. It is also nice to eat after it cooks. Tearing chunks off a loaf of shepherd bread feels good. I have begun experimenting with old grains to make bread with. They can be fine for people who have trouble with gluten.

Roasted vegetables with oil and herbs and spices on them make me feel good.

I rarely get tired of veggie pizza with pesto sauce on it and it makes me feel better if I am overwhelmed.

Cucumber
Raw bell peppers
Peanuts
Pork scratchings
Peanut butter

I'd never considered my preference for crunching as a stim. Learn something new everyday eh?

@Sportster - when you catch yourself grinding, rest your tongue between your front teeth. Relaxes your lower jaw a little. (Preventing head and neck ache)

Short grain brown rice, cooked just so. Sometimes with a little tamari, &/or mirin.
Also Chicken and rice, and (homemade so as ro not have chemicals) chicken soup.

Assam tea with milk. Yum.

Medium boiled eggs.

Carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber, red bell pepper.

Peanuts, walnuts, roasted pumpkin seeds.

Also love potato chips, but don't eat them often because eventuslly the salt hurts my mouth, and they're not good for me.

Crunchy is good Since one of my main stims is gently clicking my teeth together.

Green tea or herbal, usually, sometimes Earl Grey.

 

[watersprite]

@Alaska if you're able to bake non-gluten bread that has good texture and tastes nice, share the recipe please.

I don't believe I have tried that one. I make it weak and put soy milk in it. That goes easier on my stomach. It might let you drink it also.

I was chewing sugarless gum at work to prevent dry mouth. Did so for many years. I didn't realize that I also clench my jaw at night-- all that chewing combined to give me terrible TMJ/ problems with jaw muscle pain. Stopped the gum chewing and am bereft (but have no jaw pain). I guess it was my way of stimming. Now I seem to chew my lip if not mindful.
