    What are you eating?

    Are you on Fod Map Diet?

    Unless you are diagnosed with gallstones (which I was) then you should be eating a certain amount of fat.

    Hope this helps

    Take care and keep in touch

      nop I don't have gallstones 

      and I haven't been following any special diet I just try to avoid foods that irritate me and apparently nearly everything irritates me and I'm not really in favor of this cos I'm loosing my weight gradually

    Has anyone heard of taking a tablespoon of coconut oil in the morning and at night, of course I've been doing organic and it really helps with constipation and supposedly good for you as well
