I read something today that has made my day!!

Apparently, people with gallbladder disease should not eat (or take) ginger.

Well, some of you may remember the horrible spring I had last year with no real diagnosis, except that I seemed to have narrowed the problem down to a ginger allergy.

Now, as I have some test proving a problem in my gallbladder (one more test tomorrow, then probably surgery), and I'm doing more reading on everything, I finally see this connection and it makes me think that last year was the beginning of the gallbladder problem.

To me, that's the best news I can think of! I LOVE ginger, my favourite drink is chai tea, my favourite food is Thai and my favourite deserts are pumpkin pie and ginger snaps.

I never in my life thought I'd be so happy at the prospect of having an organ removed from my body! At this point, I can hardly wait. Not only do I want the current symptoms to go away....I am so looking forward to eating ginger again!!

Happy riding, everyone!
