.. Sorry if I wasn't

totally clear about what I meant and that I didn't properly expand

and explain myself. answered the post (like I would have) and

basically outlined the reasoning of that statement for me so I will

not reiterate here. Sorry for the confusion. >>>>>

jane: Sorry -- I didn' t mean to put words in your mouth at all! I just

took that to be your meaning (the nutritional compliance and potential

malnourishment issues) when I responded and basically agreed with you.

All the best,

What I meant by the word " complications " was more in the terms of

long term nutritional compliance, that's why I mentioned in the

paragraph that DSers needed to be more diligent.... Sorry if I wasn't

totally clear about what I meant and that I didn't properly expand

and explain myself. answered the post (like I would have) and

basically outlined the reasoning of that statement for me so I will

not reiterate here. Sorry for the confusion.
