    Best of success. I cut out most all sugars and all forms of grains 14 months ago. The first two weeks were hellish in my case. I did it trying to manage my pain which in the first 30 days dropped from 7-8 levels to 2-3 and still is the case over a year later. Due to the drop in pain, curing 40 years of IBS and a 25 pound drop in weight and much more I plan to stay with this Way Of Eating for life.

    I wish I could be with you. I simply don't have the funds to do so at this moment. I found out that excessive sugar without a lot of water as well as brushing my teeth before I fall asleep will cause sore throat. I plan to cut out the majority, but refined sugar is so cheap! As soon as I get this other job I will be kicking refined sugars butt out of my diet.
