Thanks OM. I thought I remembered that you were gluten intolerant.
I'll keep on keeping on and read labels. And ignore some of the
Conventional Wisdom that is out there. They don't live in my body.
I did well on Atkins and let my dr talk me out of it, and I gained
45#.
Now I have that to lose, and what I had before.
Going outside to get some Vit D.
If you, OM think of anything else that would help me, please Email
me. Thanks All, Nan in DE.
