For years l could not safely eat
any breakfast. l tried all kinds of
breakfast foods, but they were all
soft, starchy messes, which gave me
distressing headaches. l drank strong
coffee, too, which appeared to benefit
me at the time, but added to the head
aches afterwards. Toast and coffee
were no better, for l found the toast
very constipating.
"A friend persuaded me to quit cof-
fee and the starchy breakfast foods.

The change they have worked in

Of the distressing sensations in my
stomach after eating, and l never have
any headaches. l have gained u
pounds in weight and feel better in
