Hi Tracey and hi everyone.
I'm a lurker whose done a lot of taking from this fantastic forum and has not yet given anything back. Tonight I decided this should change. I have improved greatly from a few years on a LSD/NSD and now my mum has decided to take on the challenge as well! Anyway, I thought i'd add my experiences to the mix. Mangoes shouldn't be too starchy in Melbourne as they've just come from the NT or QLD. I've had a couple this week and have been OK but I won't be overdoing it. Dates on the other hand are soemthing that I can't tolerate at all. I figured it was the sugars - they are so sweet. I, like so many here, have a problem with sugar. A diabetic friend says that dates have a sugar they can't eat, whereas other fruit are OK - so perhaps it's something to do with that?
Re idodine - it's usually sold as Betadine in Australia and you should be able to find it under that name in any chemist.
