Naw, we are all friends here and we arent even off topic since we are talking
diet!  We chat as much as we cook.  Since several of us have been here since
the early 90's, we may feel a little 'insular' at first but we arent.  We'll
be happy to pass you tales about each other (grin).

This is true.  Quite a few here (in fact, most of us) have special diet
needs for health or allergy reasons.  While we post 'anything that sounds
good' it's quite normal for us to target a specific diet need.

First time I asked for that for myself, was in 1997 I think.  I was on the
USS John C Stennis (big aircraft carrier).  I was having a terrible time
maintaining a proper weight (dropped to 94 lbs) yet also needed low sugar and
low fat (cholestrol problems and blood sugar ones).  I got reams of high
calorie ideas that fit my needs and was able to gain back to 100 lbs in about
6 weeks which let me stay on the ship. (They were about to boot me to shore
over it).

My sugar imbalances have stabilized now that I am older, but I always had
trouble maintaining a healthy weight til I was about 42 or so.

I can understand that.  Will your Canadian coverage help there at all?

Ah yes.  This sounds familiar then.  I'll poke about and give some ideas of
things that you can run by your diet-keepers and see if any are useful.  I
just have to do a little reserach first to see if my instints/memory of that
diet need are close first.  Like, I'm recalling cabbage but at the moment
cant reall if it's really good for you, or really bad.  I suspect really good
but there are several types and some may be 'not so good'.

When my back goes out, I live on Tramadol and Robaxin.  Fortunately it's been
well behaved lately.

Anyways, You'll see shortly many of my posts will have recipes suitable I
think, for your needs.  They'll get tagged to all sorts of posts but I'll try
to remember to add 'recipe for Peter' for ya to help find'em.  If that doesnt
work for you, I can also email them (if you prefer) or just post them
straight to your name 2 by 2.  That work?
