[QUOTE="NicoleC1971, post: 2434309, member: 365308"] I'd agree that I would be miserable watching my friends eating pasta etc. whilst tucking into a salad but I think you've underestimated what foods you can still love and eat without triggering a low. I know your RH means you suffer if you eat the wrong things but why not focus on all the really good for you other stuff e.g ribeye steak, burger with halloumi, fish, chicken with the skin on, English fry up without the toast? Can you tolerate a small amount of chocolate? Nicking a couple of chips from your friend's plate? What happens if you drink a dry red wine or spirits rather than beer/full fat coke/juice? When you go out I'd suggest most places will do better than salad e.g. Italians usually offer a steak or fish option, Indians can be enjoyed without rice or naan bread (extra side dishes instead) and pubs vary but I can usually find alternatives to breaded stuff/pasta. Chinese can be a bit sticky/sweet but other than Subway I can't think of anywhere that's impossible. Look on it as a challenge and remember that you're missing out on junky starch in the main so a bit of quiet smugness is in order. Not misery! [/QUOTE]
