I am writing in reference to Ayn's post. I remember an incident that
happened to me three weeks after diagnosis. My daughter travels with a
sports team all over the country. Between games the team and parents
often have to grab food at the nearest location. We went to a food
court in a mall and there was nothing there that I could eat. Nothing!
I started crying. One of my friends came over and wisked me away, she
was wonderful. I have since learned to travel with food and I know how
to order in restaurants.
Being newly diagnosed is hard. It initially seems overwhealming to
understand this diet. It is a mourning process. Losing friends does
not help in the emotional healing. This list has always been a support.
Thank goodness we can count on each other.
