Part of the bloat is just intolerance for various carbs--the rest is blood sugar, which is also Lyme related. I get almost drunk on them, then fall asleep hard--and I mean hard, I have maybe a two-minute warning, and then I could wreck a car. Snap awake 20 minutes later. I do get trace amounts of amaranth in nut bars I can eat, but that's it for grains. I do things like eat pappadum at Indian restaurants, etc. I get crunch deprived. I can have fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds. And meat, thank heavens. No shellfish, but I had that problem before (and also no mushrooms, sigh.)

Now I need a new bike.

Is real new in budget, or are you going to check out the pawn shops? Good luck--
