hey dolly for now I would stick to zero sugar...when you start to feel fabulous constantly...like three months of fabulousness then you can introduce it as a special treat...I was completely sugar free for three years and now I have a little maple syrup on my oatmeal now and again and a slice of cake (safe ingredients...) once every month or something. its important we enjoy eating,..but for now focus on getting better which you are doing soooo well. if you have a suspicion about tomatoes, and if they are your favourite food...stay away!! often we love those things that hurt us the most!! you are very sensntive at the moment so it is possible that when you eat something sugary it gives you excess yeast...trust your instinct...you are so in tune with your body its fab...don't worry about it 'being in your head' - err on the side of caution that its not and then when you reintroduce tomatoes and they agree with you, it will be a nice surprise. I am feeling much better thanks..a little on the fuzzy side and lots of sweat (ewwwww) but much better...less nauseaous and less pooing! never thought I could make so much :-) what are you eating every day that you should be even concerned about calories? you are exercising right? I don't really believe in counting calories that much (what a traditional nutritionist I am going to be hahahahahaha) but let me know your thinking and I will tell you what I think Love you XXXXX
