Hi!  As luck would have it, today I read your reply and ate breading on my chicken last night for dinner.  So much for the elimination of gluten.  It did taste oh-so-good though.  Today I am back on the wagon.  By any chance, have you read The MS Recovery Diet by Ann Sawyer and Judith Bachrach?  If not, I do recommend it.  I want so badly to be one of those success stories.  I want to be one of those people where MS is a mere footnote in their life.  I also want to be rich and travel the world, but what are the chances? But the way I figure, I am more in control of my health than I ever realized and I want to be strong enough to make it happen.  Anyhow, it is tough to find allies in all of this.  People tend to think you are a bit of a freak when you try things unconventional.  And because I have tried other things before--like daily wheat grass--I tend to get a bit of the eye rolling reaction from family (and my significant other).  "Why can't you just stay on your medicine?" They also think my chiropractor is a bit of a witch doctor because she practices kinesiology(sp?).  Add into the mix that I also get acupuncture--and last week my session consisted of getting mugwart burned in my salt-filled belly button.  Well--you can get the picture.  I am lumped into the freak pile, and in a small town--that lumps you with the guy who plays guitar barefoot every Sunday morning for hours--screaming "HYPOCRITE" to all passerbys.  Hmmm...how is that for grouping??? All right, enough of the self-pity--laundry and coffee are waiting.  Take care and have a good day and thanks for the reply.
