So, here's my 2 cents worth.

LC since March 26 2001. No new health issues, however the pre-existing ones have improved.
Acid reflux - much better.
Diabetes - stopped using glyberide (oral hypoglycemic agent) my blood sugars are as good or better now than with that med. I consider that to be a HUGE accomplishment becoz glyberide contributes to weight gain & will eventually burn out the beta cells in the pancreas.
Irritable bowel syndrome - much better now without grains. I find eating lots of spinach in omelets, alone as a salad or added to a tossed salad helps.
Overall improvement in health & energy.

Plus,for the first time in decades, I feel in control of my diet & my own urges to eat the wrong foods. Appetite has decreased (or is it just the unexpected warm weather in June/early July) *LOL*

Love the LC WOL. Enough said.

Ruth
