off along with ANYTHING thats not scd it's not to be had - BUT for tests we may

have to and then go intro /stage 1 etc for a bit

at the ingredients in the solution? It tasted like really sweet lemonade, quite

good actually. Which has me worried that it was loaded with illegals ;-).

Are all these tests the same because I had one over a year ago but didn't drink anything.  I remember she said you had to be fasting so many hours which I had but I do not remember the test.

I finally found the ingredients: C-urea, citric acid, aspartame and mannitol. A

little bit of illegals, but thankfully, it doesn't seem to have effected me

negatively.

The test I took was called BreathTek. Here's a link to their site:

http://meretek.com/index.cfm?PID=883 & ID=3057,11716,0 .

I only had to fast for one hour. Actually, I didn't really fast. It just

happened that there was an hour between breakfast and when I was seen by the GI.

The breath test was a surprise ;-).
