I miss COFFEE the most--more than booze (too many disasters).
I miss DIET COKE almost just as much as coffee (although, I sometimes
drink it flat, and decaf at that). I MISS CHEWING GUM almost as I miss coffee and diet coke. I miss being able to eat crudite--raw broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, radishes and dip. I miss almond butter. Do I miss booze--nah!

You could probably still eat almond butter, as long as it is a thinly spread amount on some white bread. Unless you have noticed it especially problematic for you. Once you are stabilized (if you are not), you should goive it a shot! Good way to get some healthy fats and protein in.

Thank you for your response.
The party is in a cabin with friends. So I am planning to take a box of honeycombs with me and munch on if I decide to drink. I won't touch any beer. Beer is horrible. But I actually like the feeling of getting drunk and relaxed.
I was thinking about trying straight vodka with water or a Cape Cod. ..Maybe enough to get drunk? Without an attack. I hope. I mean come on ..It's the grad.

Maybe I'll give it a trial on some bread, next week--try 1 tsp. on some WHITE (rice) bread (at least the kind I use is natural, organic, sugar and salt free, and raw--no sugars/additives) --MARANANTHA raw almond butter is the brand.
Add some alfalfa sprouts, maybe 1/3 or so banana...At the moment I am adding 0 fats to my diet (does this affect mood? hormones? skin texture?) and this keeps me stable.

Excellent points, I will keep everything in mind.
I will try and get drunk, but if I feel anything starting, I will stop and maybe have a smoke instead. I know cigarettes are a trigger. But I dont smoke ..cigarettes.
I will try and stable myself (for the first time since diagnosed) and have a decent time. I always!!! drink responsibly, thanks for your concern.

hey Wind,
I am not sure of the exact scientific reasons, but I do know from reading things that you NEED fat in your diet. Not alot of fat, of course, but some. Heather even specifies that although the EFI diet is LOW fat, it is not a fat FREE diet. You could probably research this alittle further if you need to. I would think you would be ok with a little fat in your diet.
Are you ok with advocados? They are on the safe list but have fat. Some soymilk maybe? There are light kinds that have small amounts of fat (my fav is Vitasoy light vanilla). SOunds like you like to eat lots of natural and whole foods, so maybe the advocado or adding small amounts of olive oil to your food is a good idea.
If you nEED to be fat free to stabilize, I would try not to do it for too long, doesn't sound healthy! But again, I do not know the scientific reasons as to why.

I can not drink without getting sick as a dog. Everytime I try, even if it is only one I end up cramped up and sick. That has been happing for a couple of years and I only found out I had IBS 10 months ago so.. I still do it ONCE in a great while but I ALWAYS pay for it!!!

So CHEERS for us EX-JACK girls!!!
