Eating blandly...

My youngest brother has had severe stomach problems nearly all of 2006. His MD has him on a very bland diet of things like mashed potatoes. While this is a bad idea from the viewpoint that potatoes "flash" to blood sugar very quickly, it is something that can be digested before his stomach "rejects" it.

We hope his MDs can cure him before the excess blood sugar does irreparable damage to his kidneys and eyes (the damage has already been done to his heart and his legs. He is 14 years younger than me but he is on track to die years before I do...).

There are times we all dispair about him!
