OK, so how much fat should we injest with our riba? I mean what is enough? Gauf, when fasting for a blood test, added a teaspoon of PB with his riba, is that enough. If so that would be simple. It is also said that Alinia is more availible with fat but should not be taken with riba to avoid competition. I am trying to come up with ideas of what would be good with these meds. Whole milk yogurt with walnuts is good but can't be lived on. Ice cream of course, but I would rather not depend so much on dairy. 48 weeks is a long time to have to have 4 high fat, low fiber snack/meals a day. And what about fiber? How much is too much? Do we have to forgo our ritual "Monday nite is bean nite"?? Anyone know how long it takes riba to breakdown and be absorbed? Any suggestions/thoughts welcome. thanksw, jerry
