hi thanks for looking in. you're post however shows why not much interest in people posting here i think - da vinci syrups are not available here, nor is 99% of the products discussed in therse forums. it gets frustrating after a while.
Flax is great as far as i can see, low carb and lots of fibre. it is the only way of having something bready - there is no low carb bread, bread mix, bake mix etc etc etc here at all. I can get flax, ground almond and soy isolate, which i am not sure i want to use anyway because of phyto estrogens.
But i'm still enjoying this diet and it is becoming a WOL!
