Though I am generally quite a confident girl, I have tested my pouch in the safety of my home and when going out, with the support and knowledge of my nearest friends. Once I was so bad that we had to leave the restaurant and I only felt well once I reached home. They had been "in on it" from the beginning, with the understanding that we "would see how it goes". So, when, having to pay our bill quickly and dash, nobody was let down.
I have tested a variety of foods at nearly 14 weeks out and know for a fact that as much as I cannot eat pasta, I CAN eat soup and/or ice cream/sorbet. So, I play safe with those specific foods, if I choose not to tell my fellow diners.Testing and learning the response from your pouch takes time. Results vary from week to week. Over a six week period I have tried toast, each time to the same bad result. Bottom line, I just don't touch the stuff. Knowledge is power: now that I KNOW that toast is no good for me, I just make sure I avoid it altogether. I feel empowered by my knowledge, and thus grow in self-confidence. But it has taken weeks to reach this stage, in the safety of my on home, with plenty time to experiment.
