Anything we can do to help?  

Meantime my Doc is real happy with me.  Says for the condition I am in, I'm
adapting really well.  I've had to give up some things (like bike riding) but
have found new fun stuff i like doing.

Back when I was learning to cook around various needs, I did so by replacing
one thing I liked but shouldnt have, with something else I liked just as well
and should have.  The same ethic is holding well for now with my shifts in
other things.  I gained some weight due to the exercise shifts, but am now
stable for last 4 months at 130-133.  He was gonna hook me up with a
dietician but after talking, they don't seem to have one who knows as much as
me.  In fact, he sent my email address over to them as there's a little email
support group thing they have for those with special diet needs and all too
often folks get told just a limited list of what they can have and no idea
how to fix it to a recipe.

I've seen a few little flurries of interesting emails and added back some
ideas.  Like one fellow is on a protien reduced diet so I gave him some ways
to make a little go a longer way and how to spice up veggies.  He was
just boiling them and eating as is....  From what I gather he's kinda like
MLoo in the meatarian department so struggling hard.  He's allowed no more
than 2oz meat a day.  He's also developed a lactose intolerance (was there
before, now worse) and a general lower-fat tolerance (can have some, just not
much or his stomach gets wonkers).
