I am ok with sugar, it is the spicy stuff that I can't tolerate. I feel like my tolerance for spice has actually gone down since radiation, which is very disappointing! I am from New Orleans and a few months after radiation I was able to eat crawfish, which was amazing, but now I can't even tolerate pepperoni's on my pizza.

I am hoping my tolerance will improve again though before this crawfish season! wishful thinking, I know, but a girl can hope smile
