thanks zuki,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I will look into this.  

  I'm lucky, Susana. I get to have grains and coffee. I've always been a bread person even as child. I've suffered from migraines since childhood. I find that if I don't get a good amount of carbs, I have a migraine that lasts for days. That is no picnic. That means increased blood pressure, nausea, loss of appetite...
  I remember trying that Atkins diet and was physically ill for almost 10 days. What can I say? I love grains. My body loves grains. I am a typical A secretor.

Kmilt, just wanted to wish you a warm welcome to BTD and the forums!!

Kmilt, welcome to the forums!

Lucky you! Interesting how different we can be. For sure I feel best, physically and mentally without grains, sugar, dairy, or coffee but during breakfast I feel so much worse.   I love my toast and caffe latte with sugar.

Best wishes,
