Yes I can eat legumes but only 1/2 a serving size coz it seems to cause problems also: either the sleepies and/or acid reflux. and Nut - your friends diet and mine are the same.

I did find a sports nutritionist (thanks for the suggestion SK) who said while veggies are a complex carbs, it wasn't enough to support my activity level. He recommended I try gluten-free grains like:
Amaranth, Quinoa, Millet, Buckwheat and Rice.
So this morning for breakfast I had some rice. I"m in the waiting stage right now to see if I get any reaction from it.

As for fruit, I have to be careful with that also. The higher the sugar content of the fruit - like dates - the worse the reaction.
