Life is hard!

...with food sensitivities, but I guess my dinner of shell pasta in fresh local tomato, garlic, olive oil and feta sauce followed by local oranges in vanilla-agave nectar whipped cream and xylitol raspberry coulis indicates that life isn't *completely* over.



Urp.

I know you can't have cane sugar but what about alternatives like beet sugar?

Seems like you're doing pretty well. ;)

While cane sugar is merely a yellow, beets are a red. This is hardly surprising since I've always hated them. Honey was tested for and is ok. Fructose is yellow, but evidently only in concentration, since many fruits that contain it were green. They didn't test for xylitol or agave nectar, but so far those seem to be working out ok.

I am doing pretty well, it simply involves a lot of drama trying to figure out what to eat, and it's almost impossible to go out to eat and not accidentally inject something on the yellow or red list.

I do seem to be feeling a bit better overall, and it seems like I can notice the symptoms of eating something my body doesn't like more easily now. Hopefully once my immune system calms down a bit, I'll be able to start re-introducing new foods to expand the menu.

Is that a smiley face? Sweetness.

It is.

It's not as cool as the one I made at Burning Man by dumping 5 gallons of precious water into an aircraft-visible-sized artwork, but it's close.

*And* I got to eat it.
