For health reasons, I've tried to stop eating sugar. I've read a few articles that have linked excess sugar intake with UC. I'm not sure what "excess sugar" means since it can be found in pretty much everything we eat. I do have a sweet tooth and do tend to eat too much candy, cookies, and pastries.Unfortunately, the first victim of my dietary change is probably the greatest food ever invented - Peanut M&M's. I've been known to finish bag after bag of these colorful, wonderful little candies with the hard shell (my God, I'm starting to sound like an addict!!!). All the chipped teeth they have caused me over the last few years have all been completely worth it. My visit to Costco yesterday was extremely difficult since I had to pass by the aisle with the 3.5 lbs bags!!! After hard work and therapy, I will recover. If it helps me to stay healthy, it will all be worth it in the end despite all the pain it will cause me.
Anyway...good-bye old friend. You will be missed...
