Hypothetically, for the food intolerants...

I wonder about this:

Say there's a disaster and the only food available to you contains your intolerances. Would you eat it, knowing you will be sick and get D?

I don't know what I would do. Maybe I would get enough nutrients from the food before it exploded out the other end to make it worth while. But then I would be little good to anyone...

A very interesting question, Jean. I guess we'd have no choice other than to starve to death more quickly if we didn't eat the offending food. I often worry about the future - like if/when I am in a nursing home. Would they be able to tailor a diet to my needs? And would I be lucid enough to explain it all to them? So many worries that the "normal" folks don't have to think about!

Love,

Polly

Hmmmmmmm. That's a depressing question. Lets hope that Dr. Fasano gets those pills perfected first, and we all have a bunch of them stashed away for future use, before anything like that happens

Love,

Wayne,

Thanks for bringing up Dr. Fasano. I think Luce mentioned him recently too. I will try to call him this week to set up an appt. (I have been so busy this summer that I haven't had the time so far).

Once I get a date set for a meeting, I'll start a new post for everyone to pose questions that they would like me to ask him. It will be an opportunity to get answers from the the horse's mouth!

Love,

Polly
