Latour is my favorite Bordeaux.

It doesn't hurt so much when I cough or sneeze now either! It will still be a couple of weeks before everything is healed so we'll see. What the long term benefits will be remain to be seen as well. For the next 2-3 months pizza and fried foods are out. So I am using this as an opportunity to clean up my act again and drop a few lbs. So I hope to be lean and mean by the end of the summer and ready to have a slice of 'zza |

| | Mark, the gall bladder stores bile, which has a big role in the digestive system's handling of fats and other materials. Since pizza and fried foods are high in fat, they would make Chrose very sick if he eats them now since he doesn't have a gall bladder to store quantities of bile. Some people are able to resume eating fats after a time, but some aren't.
Chrose, I hope you will be able to enjoy your favorite pizza soon!

| | Thanks for the explanation Mezz  My favorite pizza will have to change, extra cheese and Pepperoni will have to be a thing of the past. Not that I won't indulge in the occasional piece opf Pepperoni that's for sure! But this year I am going to start grilling my pizzas and using many other toppings that will do quite fine! |  | |
