I can sure relate to those stomach problems. When I eat complex carbs like rice, potato, pasta, or bread I get terribly sick in my stomach. I feel like I swallowed a torch on fire. I had irritable bowel syndrome a few years ago and it was the most terrible thing in the world. You don't go ANYWHERE unless you know ahead of time where the bathroom is. And you are still taking a risk. For some reason, I just don't digest complex carbs. Even if I never lost another pound, I would eat this way forever because as long as I stick with it, my stomach and digestion is perfect. What a relief!! Cindi
