One headache after another.

I am having a hard time. I am sensitive to a lot of processed and artificial things like aspartame, msg, etc... I can't take any diet meds (over the counter, herbal etc) or drink any kind of "energy" drink or anything like that. All of it causes massive migraines for me. As many of you know I experienced great relief from headaches when I began the New Dawn (aka IAAP) program and was even able to go OFF of migraine medications. So anyhoo...

Since starting the nutri-system plan I have had a headache everyday and a migraine 3 times. It will only be two weeks on Thursday. It's killing me. I can't hardly stick with it because, well, I can't function. I was happy that the foods tasted pretty good and I wasn't hungry at all, but, wow, what a price to pay.

So tonight I sat down and was reading all the ingredients and found many things that I have no clue what they are, but one in particular that concerned me was "guar gum". I looked it up and it appears that it was banned by the FDA in diet products in the early 90's because it was found to be dangerous. It has been okayed in "small amounts" in foods. What I am wondering is, if it is almost everything a person eats, is it still considered "small amounts"... and could this be something that is causing me to get headaches?

For the record, I found that ingredient in the slimfast granola bars too.

Why do these people put this crap in ANYTHING that we eat if it's been banned by the FDA????
I'm telling ya, I made myself the guinea pig and what I have found out is that A NEW DAWN IS THE ONE AND ONLY WAY FOR ME!!!!!!!!
