    I like that idea, especially as it would remove milk, most vegetables, and anything without caffeine or alcohol from my diet :p

    Giving up cheese :eek:

    Seriously, good luck with it. Cutting out lots of things really helped me to manage my condition. At least now I know my triggers even if I am a bit rubbish at avoiding things I like. Like cheese.

    I hope you've had a nice Christmas. I've put on nearly 2 stone since I quit smoking so I'm on a diet and exercise program. Never done it before so a bit bewildered lol. My main struggle is going to be cheese, I love it.

    I need to have a catch up on your diary now to see what I've been missing lol.

    Take care.
