I had two similar occurrences yesterday:

- At lunch in the cafeteria I somehow got a piece of tofu in my salad

(looked like chicken). After a couple chews I very undaintily removed

it and plopped it on my tray.

- I rewarded myself on a job well done for my first two weeks by

having a drink last night. I usually just drink beer but that's been

cut out so I ordered a cosmopolitan after going through the list of

mixed drinks and coming up with something unsweetened. It didn't

occur to me until halfway through the drink that cranberry juice is

sweetened. There are only a few drops in the drink but I didn't want

to throw away half of $7.50 so I finished it anyway :-(

Although inconclusive I'm having an increase in symptoms today after a

particularly good day yesterday -- don't know if it's from the

cranberry though...

the fear of illegals is amazing - actually fear of introducing

anything has me stuck - I'm getting out of it a bit - but way to

go !!! i had to respond because 1) my bday is 9/22 - LOL and 2) the

last thing I had was a choc chip cookie too- gluten-free but not scd

legal - as my last thing in Jan

I did make the pecan butter brownies once and they're yummy when you

get there if you need something - i'm amazed that I don't need

anything like that anymore - truly miraculous!!!here's to good health!
