| | | Jeremy, no syrup. smart balance (butter), and sugar free cool whip. I haven't tried the sf syrups yet.
Josselyn, Big Train is available online at amazon or netrition (costs less here, but still about $4) and I'm sure other places. It's kind of bland because of the no sugar thing. so not a regular pancake, but close enough for me!

| | | Joseph's oat bran and whole wheat pita
I made a pita bread sandwich this morning with half a pita, soy crumbles and a cherry tomato and a little shredded cheese. yum. I only found these pita breads yesterday at walmart. and bg 114 before and 116 at two hours. went for a 20 min walk in the two hours. but almost no rise. and this is with no meds now. just aspirin. I am so happy about pita bread!
also posted about this on the pita bread thread in chit chat section.
oat bran & whole wheat flour pita bread from Josephs Heart Friendly. says no cholesterol, 1.5 fat, 7 protein, 10 carbs, 5 fiber, so 5 net carbs for whole one. These are the softest pita breads I've ever seen.
