It really depresses me that ppl consider these 'officially' diagnosed named diseases as something they could do, learn, or understand little about.

When infact, online we have access to more *global* knowledge, scientific data, personal experiences and alternative options than any single doctor / practice / health authority.

Perhaps the weight of information is just too overwhelming for ppl... they would rather stick in a static belief system, even if they are suffering terribly. Its something of a taboo to be one's own doctor, to take that big Responsibility. So ppl prefer the 'humility' of Acceptance. (With a dose of One Day They Will Find The Cure thrown in...)
To hell with that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Anyway... yes it is hard to stick to the diet but u really have to.
I do like a cup of tea, and have discovered that organic RICE MILK does the job just fine. It is now stocked in most supermarkets [here in UK] and keeps up to 7 days in the fridge. Cant comment on soya, its been years since i had that. 'Oat' milk i found somewhat disgusting, the consistency just isnt right lol.

Take care
