I was making a grilled cheese sandwich for my daughter and the swiss cheese was calling my name. I cut off a huge chunk and ate it REALLY slowly. Now I wait..............

Stuffette,

this was a good experiment (even if you did not view it as such). A lot of people can eat even their most forbidden foods, in very small quantities. Then again I know that eating one nut would have caused me problems when I had active disease (I know from experience :(). However there were other foods that in small quantities were ok.

This means that if you are cravings something, it is often ok to have a small portion of it. When I say small portion though, I mean no more than a bite (a small bite :)).

If you do this and are fine then you may get adventerous and try to eat a little more to see how that goes. Just remember that you decided not to eat that food for a reason, so be careful with how much you end up eating.

Good luck and glad things went well.
