Sorry, i got confused cause you said youve been on it like 18 years which would imply it's not temporary and a lot of people do do no sugar or no carbs or no dairy or no this or that permanently which is what i was referring to. Obviously a temporary one wouldn't be so bad but even then it'd be hard and what happens if you find out you can't tolerate it? Then it would become permanent.
 
WHen you feel good, and not crappy, that is enough for most people to make the choice.

I stopped making bread a long time ago, rarely eat sugar. If I eat them, I get sick. My head is fuzzy. ANd I have no energy. I choose lots of energy. :celebrate

RIght now my breathing is good, and last nite I slept well. This is not my normal. I am trying to figure out how to repeat this everyday. What food I am eating that triggers the stuffy nose, poor breathing and difficulty sleeping is still unknown. :idunno

Montmorency sour cherry
https://www.arborday.org/trees/treeguide/TreeDetail.cfm?ItemID=814


This tree:
  • Produces bright red, medium-large fruit with firm yellow flesh; a rich, tart, tangy flavor; and clear juice--ideal for pies and preserves.
  • Is self-fertile, but planting 2 or more trees is recommended for a better crop.
  • Has a chill hours (CU) requirement of 700. (Chill hours are the average hours of air temperature between 32° and 45° F in a typical winter season.)
  • Features leathery, elliptic leaves with acute tips that are smooth and dark green on top, measure 3" long and are double-toothed on the margin.
  • Ripens in late June, just 2 months after the spring bloom.
  • Is a more dependable fruit producer than sweet cherries in cooler climates.
  • Grows in a rounded shape.
  • Should be staked (if dwarf variety) to ensure its ability to bear the weight of the fruit and protect against leaning.
  • Blooms late, with white flowers clustered on 2–4" long pedicels. Flowers appear on 1-year-old wood along with spurs.
  • Is available in standard and dwarf sizes. Our standard Montmorency seedlings are budded onto Prunus mahalb, and our dwarf seedlings are grafted to Prunus besseyi (sand cherry).


Grow your own large, juicy, tart cherries.

The Montmorency Cherry Tree (Prunus cerasus 'Montmorency') produces the United States most popular sour cherry. It is considered the very best cherry for making pies.

This highly prized cherry tree will welcome spring with brilliant, snow-white flowers in spring followed by a great number of clusters of red sour cherries in July.

The fruit is large sized with bright red skin. The flesh is amber and the juice is clear. Because it’s self-fertile only one tree is needed to produce armloads of delicious, tangy cherries.

The tree grows 25 to 30 feet tall with a spread close to the same. Montmorency Cherry trees can be maintained at any height with pruning. As with all Sour Cherry’s it has a beautiful shape for a featured spot in the landscape. It is extremely winter hardy and heavy bearing.

You will not be disappointed with this outstanding sour cherry. Grow the Montmorency cherry; it is the standard by which pie cherries are judged.

* Large & Bright Red
* U.S. Most Popular Sour Cherry
* Heavy Producer
* Cold Tolerant

Looking at a cherry Montmorency sour cherry from stark. Size is listed at 15-20 feet, so ......by process of elimination this is the rootstock.

Mahaleb vigorous rootstock
A traditional seedling cherry rootstock which produces a large standard cherry tree, with a mature height of 16ft - 20ft. It is perfect for traditional orchards, although it is quite slow-growing and the large trees might be difficult to harvest from - unless your objective is feeding the local birds.

Mahaleb is suitable for a wide range of soil conditions. If you have drought conditions this is the best cherry rootstock. Conversely, if you have heavy wet soils it is one of the worst.

It also has the advantage of producing a slightly smaller tree than the Mazzard rootstock (see below) and is generally more disease resistant and has slightly better cold-hardiness.

Mahaleb is not fully compatible with all cherry varieties.
 
New York State Agricultural Experiment Station

Through its Geneva campus, located 50 miles northwest of Ithaca, Cornell University has played a prominent role in apple breeding and research. In 1923, the New York State Agricultural Experiment Station became a part of the university, a position it maintains as an integral unit of College of Agriculture and Life Sciences. The Experiment Station is the center for research in New York on fruit and vegetable crops, a $2 billion business in the state. It is also the home to one of the country's most important apple breeding programs.

Fifty of the Experiment Station's 700 acres are devoted to maintaining the world's largest collection of apple trees, over 3900 of them gathered from around the world. This is the orchard of the USDA's Plant Genetics Resources Unit, one of a group of sites located around the country to preserve genetic diversity in plants. In general, two of each variety are planted, creating a living museum of named and unnamed varieties from the Roxbury Russet (an apple that distinguished itself in a cider orchard outside Boston in 1645) to young trees grown from seeds gathered in Kazakhstan.
