My Dr. asked me to cut down on carbs the last time I saw her. I tend to have a sweet tooth, but I've been pretty careful with it after I had the spinal tap. She suggested that I cut down on rice, potatoes and stuff like that. I was diagnosed to be allergic to wheat after the injury too - which I never had a problem with before the accident. So I don't eat flour products anymore either. (I miss it, but allergies can really wreak havoc on the brain, so I avoid it like the plague.)
