Wow Sevie that's great that things are finally getting going. I guess they are starting her low to see how she responds but when you've been through it all before it must be so frustrating to have to go through it via your donor all over again! So hope it all goes smoothly for you and has a positive outcome.

The diet is fine once you get organised for it and we already do a lot of home cooking because frankly there aren't that many options up here so we already make our own bread (in a bread maker) we just had to find a recipe that works without yeast and wheat flour (my DH makes it for me and it's very yummy by the way!) and then I've been having soy milk, I can eat as much meat as I like, cook brown rice instead of white (just takes more time and I had to get some tips on how to make it fluffy but getting better at it), plenty of salads, dips and brown rice crackers (yah for VitaWheat for making a new cracker I can eat that doesn't cost a bomb!), eggs etc so not that hard really and incredible how quickly your tastes adjust - sugar is just so extreme in taste now that it makes me feel a bit sick if I have it (that's just not right is it?!). I do miss cake but the bread is sort of cake-ish I guess.. Funnily enough it's the no tomato and potato thing that can be tricky because they are in so many things but that's more for the fact they have naturally occurring food chemicals that can irritate your stomach and I should be able to reintroduce them soon. Sounds worse than it is and with the internet, well, there's plenty out there - just google 'anti-candida' diet or 'wheat free' etc and there is HEAPS of info! Having said that, I'm looking forward to having a glass of red wine and a nice piece of cheese again one day! And yes, I do feel well for it - have lots more energy than before so damn! it's doing me good I don't have an excuse to stop!!
