Hi I must have joined right after you left-but welcome back. If you ever do

start that bakery let us know-I am not too far from Chicago and would love

is sort of lifestyle changing to follow so no one near me has any interest.

Any way Welcome.F

remember me? my story.

Just curious: Were there any other interventions used besides the diet?

Any chelation, treatment for yeast, supplements, etc.?

Congratulations and best wishes,
