It turns out that - as will cell phone generated phone number innumeracy, that newsgator lost you...and without newsgator, I am nothing. So belatedly, I offer my most sincere condolences. And also, did they write this list in the 40s? Because it seems heavy of processed and so-called convenience edibles, and short of, you know, food. There must be a different way to not insult your innards? I kept thinking - what has happened to knitsisters?

I had an acquaintance/friend whose troubles were so bad, she was on a 4-foods diet which I don't remember the name of, but it was basically bananas and toast for a few weeks before she started adding back various things. At least you have 30+ options.... Sorry about your dietary restrictions.

In other words, what they're really saying is, "Show us how well you can jump through flaming hoops and we just might give you the grant. Start writing...we're waiting to be amused." Time - looking magnifique! IBS - hell's bells. That's what they mis-diagnosed my panic attacks as for years, but at least they only gave me pills. No cameras. (Back in the dark ages of the early 80's, y'see. Thank god.) My heartiest sympathies, 'cause man, food restrictions are the worst. Feh. Have some more yarn. ::hugs:: (Oleomargarine? Yegawds, my *grandmothers* stopped using that word by the 60's. And note the ironic slogan on the Benefiber: "The clear choice." Oh yeah, it's gonna be 'clear' all right. Sure. Reminds me of an ad blooper for some bran cereal back in the 70's/80's. The spokesman, some environmental celebrity - and I *cannot* remember his name, kindly-looking older guy - was running the cereal through his hand in the fake factory, giving his spiel about how it'd help your health. Veiled references to keeping you regular. And without a pause, at the end he gave a big grin and came out with, "And that ain't no shit." [vbg]) Grant proposals - are they nuts?!

I have had IBS for years and after cutting out everything I followed the advice of my doctor and slowly added back in foods (think like for a baby) in order to see what my trigger foods are. There is a really good book that I have that helped me see that the foods that I have to eat don't have to be bland - it is Eating for IBS and there is a website for the book's author - www.helpforibs.com. Do take your doctors advice, but know that there is food hope out there. Also just a mention - stress can also play a BIG role in how bad IBS is affecting your body.

I, as you know, love my food, and any hint of a restrictive diet just makes me flippin' MAD! Although, I have to admit that I myself had an incident with a grapefruit recently that has really put me off grapefruit for a while. You know how Grandma got so she couldn't eat certain things....

Sorry to hear about your gut troubles. I know you weren't asking for advice, so forgive me for hauling off and giving you some anyway. You might want to consider some probiotic foods as part of your diet - things that probably aren't on the approved list, but that include healthy bacteria like kefir, yogurt, saurkraut and pickles and kimchee. These can help heal your gut and can also be found in pill form. Just a thought. Hi, your sweater is looking great. Sorry to hear about your gut troubles.
