welcome Belle! It is so nice to have you here, although I am sorry it is under these circumstances.
It's good to hear your husband is so understanding. He sounds great. About the bugs in your mouth, that just sounds so challenging!!!! I wonder if home brewed (or even store bought) teas would help. I make lots of peppermint tea and keep it in the fridge. I also brew up Ginger Roots. You hopefully can find a tea that will chase them away from that area.
About the sugar, it is hard at first, but then it is not bad at all. Some things that help in the transition might be frozen black cherries, You can eat them cold, or heat them up and even alone tehy taste like cherry pie. (I mean the no sugar kind.) Also, I use Greek Yogurt, plain all natural, and sprinkle fresh blueberries on it. It tastes just like cheesecake. Of course the fruit has a form of sugar, but much healthier for us.
Well, I dont want to fill your thread up w more food ideas. But thanks for being here. And hope you feel better soon!  |
