Thank you for your replies guys - much appreciated.. I'm a bit p'd off but hey I just need to get on and try and get on top of things like a I did when diagnosed coeliac.. I keep telling my pals - I might look fit and well but am rotting from the inside out..:) oh well ..

I'm following the blood sugar diet and hope to be able to keep on top of things - if not reverse them..Certainly doable (apart from the coeliac - I'm stuck with that )
