That's great! Thank you. Although I don't know if I'd be able to eat some of the stuff on your list. I have to avoid all raw veggies, at least right now. I'm pretty sure that's what got me to my...
It's crazy. I can't believe how loud it is sometimes. It's always been loud but it was never an all the time thing. Now, it just seems like no matter what I eat, how much or how little, it's always...
