All true. We also had to find an alternate Hummus Delivery System since pita chips are a no. We found some pretzel chips she can eat that aren't as hard.No gum allowed for CP, either. CP's orthodontist gave us a refrigerator magnet with a list of the "No's" while she is on the braces diet. I think the most difficult thing for her has been finding fruits and veggies that she is allowed to eat and don't get stuck in her braces. She used to love oranges, apples, and carrots. All three times she broke her brackets were while eating one of those three things (well, she broke her bracket trying to pick the orange strings out of her teeth). She also used to hate cooked veggies because of the texture. But now she has gotten over her distaste in salad and most cooked veggies. And she has found that cuties are better than regular oranges.
