Ya know, I'm really beginning to hate this phrase.

First, it's nearly impossible to convince a doc that you *have* a
food intolerance unless you've got anaphylactic shock or "chrohn's
diasease" that won't respond to medications.

Second, they'd aim us at the food pyramid.

Third-- apparently, we can't do anything at all for ourselves (we have
no brains) and must rely on our medical team (who we can never
see because of cost cutting measures) for *everything*.
