Hi All:

I have been on the diet for 4 months and 14 days not that I am counting. I had to go backwards before I went forwards (stopped Elmiron) but now I am beginning to have some stretches of better days. Hallelujah! I am also starting to really crave fruit or anything sweet at the end of my meal and find myelf thinking about cheating. But this is not the subject of my rant. Instead, I am po'd because I cannot tolerate coffee or any kind fo tea currently, notwithstandng the fact that I am on List 2, having been bumped down from List 3. Are there any older timers who cannot tolerate anything but water? I long for those beverages...This am I had two sips of black tea and it showed up later. It was not a flare but increased sensitivity that lasted about 4 hours. Now it is better, thank heaven, but I would do anything for a nice cup of coffee with almond milk and some eventually to be permitted sweetener. Yum...
