=======================
Hi Ruth,

->  RH> Good idea.  Double duty research is your friend.

-> Especially in sociology and psychology classes. The survey was done for
-> one on population problems, the paper was for a social psychology class.
-> The former class was a sociology one, the latter could be used for
-> credit in either field (I took it for psychology credit.) so the
-> research benefitted both my major and one of my minors.

 RH> Gotta love it when that happens.  I only got that lucky once.

I think it happened a time or two elsewise but that was the biggest
success. Doing the survey was fun too.

-> -> treat it, the problem will clear up. Does it mean he has to eat this
 RH> way
-> -> the rest of his life or only until the gut clears up?

->  RH> No one knows.  It should heal, but how far and how much you never
->  RH> know. They still don't know what caused it to begin with.

-> And probably never will. Hopefully he can resume eating a more normal,
-> but maybe with some limitations, diet.

 RH> Him too!  He's majorly missing his chocolate!  Not to mention bread
 RH> and dairy products.  He's already feeling better though, now that he
 RH> can eat without getting sick.

True, and he migh be able to have some things back in very limited
quantities, like I do with sweets or high carb foods.

->  RH> Apparently there is. I have a friend who's allergic to walnuts but
 RH> not almonds.

-> I knew someone while we were in HI who could have ground nuts (like
-> peanuts) but not tree nuts like macadamias.

 RH> Allergies are weird.  I haven't found a food allergy for me yet, so
 RH> I'll have to keep trying all the new to me stuff until I do.  Right?

So far I've not found any, just some strong dislikes but no allergies to
any foods.

-> -> I know, when we were in NY in February, I had morning blood glucose
-> -> readings in the low 50s so Steve made me drink some orange juice.
 RH> Just
-> -> that bit of a taste reminded me again how much I miss it at times.

->  RH> Low 50s?  That's like low deadies.

-> It was only a couple of days, and a 4 oz shot of OJ brought it back up
-> to a reasonable level. I was on a low dose of insulin at the time; those
-> readings were part of the reason we dropped the insulin entirely about 6
-> weeks later.

 RH> I'd think so!

Had to verify.  We've got some apple & orange juices in the fridge now
for just in case. A few weeks ago when I had a morning reading of 63, I
had some apple juice to boost the carb count.


-> -> And then the opposites attract thing. Steve is as left brained as I
 RH> am right brained.

->  RH> My parents were the same way - hard core enginerd and a special ed
->  RH> teacher.

-> Makes life interesting, doesn't it? (G)

 RH> Yep - my running joke is her special ed training was the only way she
 RH> could have dealt with him.(G)

Good thinking on her part.


->  RH> Good.  I have a big stash, but I suck it down seven to eight months
 RH> of the year.

-> We drink it year round. In the summer I usually make a couple of gallons
-> of iced tea a week. Haven't this summer because it's been so cold that
-> Steve brews what he wants, one glass at a time, in the Keurig and I
-> drink water most of the time (hot tea in the morning). He will go with
-> hot tea after so many cups of coffee in a day.

 RH> I've been going though seltzer water and some stevia-sweetened sodas I
 RH> got BOGO with coupons on top.  Coffee first thing in the morning of
 RH> course.  In quantity.

I've got some Zevia sodas but taking my time drinking them. I think it
was March when we picked up 3 6 packs & still have several left.
