i'm so glad that you're feeling a little spunkier with some food in ya. i think when some of us get that terribly sick we get so gun-shy that we forget the whole point of eating is to keep us alive.

or, at least, i think i forgot that. i was so shocked at how much better i felt when i was eating. boy, that's a simplistic thing... you'd think i'd remember it, now wouldn't you!?

as for the soy--- i dunno. i usually end up doing better with it if i have it with a soluble fiber. maybe that's the key? who knows.

breadwise, i think the whole wheat intolerance thing is more insidious than any other food allergy thing. i noticed that cutting out wheat gradually made a difference. it wasn't something where if i ate a bagel i felt sick right away. i don't know how much you know about celiac, but if you're bored and looking for some reading material, check out celiac.com. not by any stretch of the imagination am i suggesting that you have wheat issues, i'm just mentioning the site since it's so good and we're on the subject. anyway, from understanding the mechanics of how celiac works, i believe that wheat is a slow-damage sort of thing for those who can't tolerate it.

enough babbling. i'm going to go check out the movie schedule and see what's out there. have a good day, Casey!
