Hi there, thanks for this. After posting I spent a lot of time, getting my head around the whole sf and if thing.
Yes you are right brown rice is too if. I have changed it to basmati rice.
Yesterday I made sure that all her meals were mostly sf. she was a bit better last night - she didn't get sore until about 7.30, she was sore but coping, not sobbing in pain. We are off to the specialist today, I am hoping he will have some insight.
I struggle with the 'healthy side of things'. i.e. we have always eaten a lot of brown rice, jacket potatoes, lots of broccoli, cauli, green beans, garlic, tomatoes,cabbage, lettuce, etc etc. This has been the basis of all our lunches and dinner, with chicken and fish and red meat, organic eggs and yoghurt and good quality tasty cheeses. Lots of homemade organic wholewheat breads, apples, bananas, pears, almonds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, so you can see it is a whole different mind set for me, and although I have been trying the sf thing, I realise I have been making a lot of mistakes in this area, thanks for helping draw attention to some more. For years this country has pushed the importance of good quality proteins, high fibre vegetables and fruits and lots and lots of whole grains.
This way of eating had never been a problem for us, I have lots to learn. Thanks for taking the time to respond. Pauline
