I have an irritated throat today, and am not sure of the cause. It may be the flu-virus reinfecting (doctor says it does after about 10 days), it could be that I am eating a handful of walnuts, or the new magnesium supplement I took last night. (didn't say if it was citrus or not) or just hayfever.

Anyway, this is so frustrating. I do hope it's not the walnuts as I need them for fat and omega 3, but have a terrible feeling that it might be as this isn't the first time I've had this reaction to nuts.

I am so trying not to get depressed about this - first fruit, now nuts - I really don't know what to eat these days. But I know I just have to be rational and think of alternative fat sources. The difficulty is that most fat sources are saturated, and the body need unsaturated, and that is mainly nuts.
