> Thanks for posting the summary of all the dietary restrictions. Did you gather all that from the archives? Some seemed familiar. If so, that's a lot of work, but very valuable for MAOI newbies. For me, I am enjoying red wine again (no more than 2 glasses as I am a light weight). I never found a white wine that was a blissful as my favorite reds. Also, my first piece of pizza on Nardil was heaven. Thank god for provolone. I am addicted to pizza, and its so convenient when I get home from school late.
> Only difficulty I have in dealing with the diet is when I go out to eat. Then there are so many questions to ask and you have to rely on the honesty and knowlege of the person answering. If I don't have a good feeling, I go for a simple sandwich or hamburger. The fewer the ingredients, the better.

I'm glad you got some worth from the diet info. Most of it came from the book I mentioned. The rest came from PubMed and a couple of internet articles. Some of this stuff has also been posted on Babble, which is why it's familiar.You should be able to eat a salad in a restaurant . Just pick out the cheese. Indian food should be okay, too, even the cheese, because it's fresh. I *love* Indian food. I love Chinese and Japanese food, too, but that's going to be off-limits for a while.
I can't say I've gotten used to American cheese but I've been eating a lot of it. It's bland and gooey, which sometimes I need when my stomach is upset. Most of the frozen things that I use when I don't want to cook are stir-fries that contain soy sauce, but the packets are small, so maybe I'll try a mini-serving.
