Glenntaj, I was always so careful with food since I had CFS for 20 years. I knew that I HAD to eat great food to stay strong. Supplements too of course.

But I would have Cola and some sweets sometimes. I just thought a small amount of sweets was ok in moderation. I really found out it isn't. For me at least. Even cereals I thought were healthful have too many carbs. if not eaten with protein.

We have really enjoyed learning how to use other things like Coconut Palm sugar, coconut oil, etc. My doctor also knows about nutrition so I check with him before using new things.
