Thank you Helen for sending all the information to us. I looked through several of them. I am surprised that many of them say that beef is okay though. I remember reading this one man's diet and he said no beef. I haven't totally cut beef out of my diet but I know it bothers me much more than chicken or pork. Steak is always a problem but softer beef is OK.

A few things I do: Ensure drinks (they aren't bad tasting....I like Vanilla) soy protein drinks with fruit juice (no pulp) & tofu mixed in I have a juicer so I make carrot and veggie juice when I have time Odwalla carrot juice & super green drinks

With the drinks I feel like I'm sure I'm getting all my vitamins. I also take flaxseed oil capsules 1000 mg. and multi vitamin once a day. I usually try to have liquid stuff for breakfast and lunch then I can have a small dinner with husband. One important thing is to CHEW, CHEW CHEW!! I've always been a fast eater but now I'm trying to take it slow and eat small bites and chew.

Thanks again Helen. Sherry........best of luck! Our thoughts are with you. Please keep us updated when you can. Thumbs up!
