I'm the original poster, and I wanted to thank everyone who took the time to
reply. No allergy is involved in my case; I have diverticulosis and am
supposed to avoid anything that can get "caught" on the way through the
digestive system. Since my colon has already been perforated once (don't
ask!), I tend to be on the conservative side about what I eat. I've gotten a
lot of good ideas from all of you, and I appreciate them.
