    Thanks for that, I'm sure I'd be able to get a hold of some of those pittas. I'm the same re normal bread, my stomach does be in bits after eating it =/

    If you want a really nice alternative, you can make your own wraps very easy, blend 4 parts carrots to 2 part apple to 1 part flaxseed, blend until well mixed together, then spread flat and dry them out in a dehydrator/low oven for about 10 hours, not really convenient but if you make a lot in one go they'll keep and will be great with some veg inside or even just to snack on by themselves.

    I never gave my health a second thought, never had to worry about my weight, and just lived on typical student food.

    Then just over a year ago I had a succession of health problems that hit me like a ton of bricks. I could barely get out of bed in the mornings, and would fall asleep again as soon as I got home.

    So over time I had to totally change my diet, and I am now quite conscious of the type of food I eat, and how it's produced.
    I would usually try and go for local produce when possible, I'm not too obsessed with it being organic.

    I take supplements and excercise whenever I can too. I wouldn't say I feel 100% better, but at least I feel my age again and not like a little old lady:)
    I think women maybe equate nutrition and supplements with looking well. If I lost weight instead of gained when I got sick I probably wouldn't have been as bothered, I know thats really stupid, and I'm just talking for myself here not women in general!
