Hi @cdpm. Ticks all the right boxes on days when it's still cold and windy outside. Not much chewing needed either. Hope it settles okay.

Sorry I can't answer that question. I had to stop testing as the numbers aren't very good anytime and I felt that since I can't do anything to change them it was useless to test and too distressing.

So sorry to hear that @cdpm. You're coping with so many dietary restrictions and losing your teeth hasn't helped.

Hi @cdpm. That had crossed my mind.
Your food intolerances, if they're the sole cause of your intestinal distress, are sometimes baffling.
