Guest guest Posted October 24, 2006 Report Share Posted October 24, 2006 good luck. it's takes time. it takes a long, looong time. i am started to just take satisfaction in the fact that I can really enjoy food now, although I have been trying to gain weight my whole life and i really need to do that now more than ever. i was diagnosed over 2 years ago and when I relocated briefly this year I got sick a bunch of times eating out. you learn from all those mistakes, it's just painful. we are lucky in a sense of course now that there's so many alternative foods out there. take care. -Naren On 10/23/06, Sharon Wood <swoodsf@...> wrote: > > Thanks for the warning.
