[Diabetes-talk] Another question...like I haven't sparkedenoughconversation? LOL!

[William and Bernadette Jacobs]

I'm a wraps person anyway.  Bread is way, way too much for me.  Sometimes it 
even gags me.  Makes me too full.  I can't digest wheat bread at all.  Feels 
like a rock in my gullet!  Won't go up or down.  Just sits there and gets 
harder and harder till I'm about ready to burst.
