A Bug's Life

I had no beer for five years, then I had a half pint of Landlord or Pedigree or something at Novacon. And the next day I was in agony. Joints I never knew I had were inflamed. I intend to do another beer experiment at some point, to make sure. I don't like beer though, so it's no great hardship to avoid it ;-)

I am only avoiding dairy at the moment; I suspect yeasty things may be a problem. I've been gobbling bread, pasta, and cereals for yonks with no problems, though I eat a fair amount of potato and rice so I'm fairly balanced.

I could experiment with porridge, and marmite, I suppose (but not both in the same bowl!)
