There may be food you choose not to eat and foods that don't agree with you, but over time, you will be able to eat everything you would want. (The dietician at my clinic told me I would never be able to have lettuce again. She was wrong.)<br /><br />Will you be coming through Calgary?<br /><br />I have so many questions!!
