I could never tolerate the lara

bars, but hopefully after a few months of LDN which i'll be starting in

about a month and a half after this round of pred.

,

We always have to be very, very careful about any processed food, even

when minimally processed.

It's why, for instance, even though the " 2% rule " technically

doesn't exist any more, I still don't trust an awful lot of stuff. So I

act as if it does still exist.

It's stuff like " Oh, no, there's no starch in our sliced

meat... " but when you dig deeper, you find out they use corn starch

on every slice. " But that's not an ingredient! It's a processing

aid! "

Yeah, right. Whatever they call it, it makes me sick.

It took me years to tolerate Lara bars.

I agree. I'm totally paranoid about anything I don't make myself.That is why I

reserve them (Lara Bar) for " emergency only " situations.I keep one in my purse.

I usually travel with a cooler full of food. However, there have been a few

times where I have found myself totally stuck- in traffic, or at a school event

where I can't get to my food, and I have used one to tide me over until I get

home. I figured it is better to do that than risk anything cooked in a school

cafeteria with who knows what in it. I'm grateful that I have tolerated them in

this context, but I have not eaten them frequently or regularly. Everything else

I eat is " home made " .

I have not eaten any sliced meat or anything like that.
