Hey John, glad to see you back!
I'm still confused though. Do you consider okra and V-8 as marginal foods? I think I know what happened with the cabbage-broccoli thing. I had a friend tell me that Sally Falon says that all cabbage family vegetables should be cooked lightly for some reason or another, but I forgot to take into consideration that Sally Falon isn't basing her recommendations on a NSD.
Maybe, I am just taking this all too seriously, but when I am in pain, I just want to make sure that I'm not eating something that could be the culprit. So I had to step back and re-evaluate. Okra turned black. I have often wondered why V-8 is okay. I thought anything with cooked tomato would be starchy. I really don't want to cut anything else out of my diet so I need an objective, more experienced opinion. Carol and Zark's blog don't mention okra or V-8. I only heard about it from you.
Thanks for listening! Be sure to check in from time to time. You might not be in the heat of fighting the battle currently, but the rest of us sure appreciate your input.
