I have probably learned more from you and your wonderful suggestions than my doctors and literature they gave me. I'll be ordering the book soon. I'm a 66 year old hospice homecare caregiver. My husband has COPD and Emphysema and our grandson lives with us part time. So I feel like I'm always cooking 3 different meals at any given time. I come from a large family of great cooks and good food. I've been really struggling after I was diagnosed in June of last year. I followed the low acid low fat no sugar diet perfectly for 5 months then came the holidays and cheating started and I'm miserable again. But even before the holidays I was miserable because my downfall is not getting into the habit of more mini meals. I'm so busy taking care of others I don't have time to make 5 or 6 mini meals for me. I also have IBS so it's easier to go without eating then I tend to eat too much in the evenings it's a vicious cycle. But your advice gave me hope. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your advice. I respect your willpower and discipline. Now I know I have to be more careful with what I eat. I just started reading Acid Watcher Diet, so I'll be learning more in the coming days. As a quick note, I am mostly a pescatarian, so I'm hoping that fish is okay.
