Will find out more in a few days.<br />I had the CT because of chronic pancreatic pain that started out as "attacks" from a couple of times a month to finally after 3 months of use without interruption, "attacks" 2-3 times a week.

There is quite a lot of variation from person to person in how much carb can be eaten, which makes it necessary to fond that individual level. <br /><br />I provide a recipe page but it doesn't get much traffic. There are a lot of sites with huge low carb recipe collections out there.

Bad sleep, back pain and headache are not a good combo for a dentist treating patients. My endocrinologist had never had anyone with those side effects.

Thought I would try and take the doctor's advice. This is VERY HARD FOR ME! Of course, I have had side effects, and am wondering how long these tumors took to form? She said I didn't have to stay on this forever, and thought it would help with weight loss. I have access to a health library, I just have to figure out how to get in.
