I seem to recall an article about sweeteners. Am sure it inplied, or stated definitely, that they were a probable cause of cancer. Ditched my Splenda and went back to sugar.

14.04 9 30am FBG 5.7 Disturbed night after conversation with daughter, her son has very high temperature, with projectile vomiting. Husband is away working - she may need to take him to hospital. My no. 2 son on alert for possible childminding duties. Times like this I feel very far away...

Such a lot going on. Am pleased to read that you seem to be coping well...

Good to see you back again @lindisfel

Agree, sometimes doctors are not aware of contra indications. If in doubt ask your pharmacist.

Predictive text at its best! Should be : unless starving !

Unfortunately the experience seems to have lessened the trust that we have worked hard to achieve. Scratchy, bitey cat is back. THIS had better be temporary... heard a rumour that my 92 year old mother is planning to visit. Cannot have Kiki attacking her ankles as she walks by, or biting the...

Had to look up Black medic. Probably not enough nutrition to be worth eating even though it is member of the Alfafa family. Don't think I would bother either. Bless starving.

We have had excellent healthcare here.

Freezing surplus veg counts as preparing for winter. In my mind at least. We still have a few runner beans, many tomatoes and more fruit than I know what to do with in there. Friends coming for Sunday lunch -chance to use some up - no someone insisted on bringing dessert. Nice gesture, almost...

I don't know. But believe there are still very good markets with reasonably priced fresh food. However I have noticed an increase in available ready meals even in our rural area. Fortunately the nearest hot or cold pizza vending machine ( yes its a thing in France) is a 15 min drive away and...

A French lady told me today that she knows of, or knew, many English people who have died from various cancers. But only a very few French people. She attributes this to the widely different diets with far more processed food consumed in Uk. Here in Normandy, fresh is king. In a way we never...

Copied and pasted from Annb "Odd, though, that these intolerances don't seem to have shown themselves very much in the past. They were there, clearly, but not to the same extent and not understood and either ignored or misdiagnosed" My belief is that these conditions did exist years ago. But...

In her case the asthma is linked to her gluten intolerance. Apparently a little known symptom is a chronic cough. Often misdiagnosed as asthma and requiring a different medication in the inhaler. As she has improved now using a more standard one.

She didn't enjoy or appreciate the process, but I am already seeing a reduction in scratching, so am assuming she is more comfortable. Your sympathy should more properly be directed to the person with tooth and claw marks, who after all was only trying to help.

Not familiar with Hairy Bittercress, but we will be eating wood sorrel later in the year.

Cold wind and intermittent sunshine. Outside temperature is actually in the greenhouse. The plants are loving it. The little black box is the sensor which sends temperature readings to the display unit indoors.

04.04 FBG taken several times. Disappointingly all results in the sixes. Have been concentrating on the garden, French and an unusually full social calendar. Now caught up with posts

Your breakfast sounds delicious, but I would eat it for dinner.
