Thanks Christine. Yes, I see that I have to be very careful with the food. I was doing well, then I had a couple of dried figs, and had a long coughing fit.
Maybe due to the little seeds, or the bits of fig that can be sticky.
So far, the cold broth orzo soup went down the best.
I have been putting off dairy, maybe I'll try some instant breakfast tomorrow.
Thanks for correcting the rinse formula also.
