I just a better eye on what I'm preparing now, sometimes i'll eat bread to settle my stomach and even saltines seems to help.  Just be careful with the spices.  I find myself cooking with less and less seasonings including salt and pepper.  fried onions are better then raw same with green peppers, but I still shy away from them because they still seem to be pretty potent cooked.Hope this helps!!!! geenee39 Tue, 08 Jul 2008 00:00:00 GMT
