Among other things, for a long time I was drinking about 20 ounces of kefir a day with no effects. I'm kinda tired of kefir now.)
When I read about different deficiencies in different vitamins and minerals, the ones that involve a shortage of fats and fat soluble vitamins sound like me. And fit my diet history. |
And the primary symptom of exocrine pancreatic deficiency is poor absorption of fat soluble vitamins. And if paancreas *isn't* digesting food that well, how can the gut *not* be out of balance? Then again, my history is that I'm a c-sec baby who was breastfed for 2 years by a mom who's had issues her whole life and who ate nothing but corn syrup or the first week of her life. So gut bugs fit my history, even if my symptoms didn't *at all.*

Even brushing my teeth has been an issue. (TMI ALERT... Yet for some strange reason oral sex isn't causing me to gag. <shrug>)

I've a little shy to post here lol, and it gets real busy with all different topics I've tended to chicken out each month Also, I've been so overwhelmed as I'm mostly alone at home with my DS who is a super-sensitive babe (hubby away or working most of the time, family live far, friends live mostly across the pond in the US. Anyway, my family think I'm living on another planet with my parenting preferences so to speak I started a thread for my DS tonight should anyone want to pop by. Bye for now!! DS awake and crying! xXx |
CS I'm sorry things didn't turn out how you expected.
I've been tempted by that pizza oh so many times lately, but I know it'll just make things worse. I did put some cheddar on my sloppy joes tonight though. We'll ignore that nobody's anywhere near baseline 
It was yummy!
she agreed to try a different recipe next time. As in, even though she didn't like it, shes willing to try again!! No big deal, right? THEN she dipped her finger in the butter to taste it and see if she liked it 
(second lick, she decided she still didn't). And she was willing to try and DID like the honey butter. And she tried the steamed kohlrabi at dinner, and told us she didn't like the crunchiness of the (plain) English muffin we were eating the sloppy joes on, and listened when I suggested she put sloppy joes on it to soften it. Then spontaneously told me she loved me at bedtime, and fell asleep 45 minutes earlier than normal. It's the little things. If I can figure out an easy, reliable way to get it into her, the crush will be full blown love! and welcome to the new people. Yes you do need to be here it sounds like! 
CS to a few of the people who popped in last month, I think I missed the welcomes then (and I'm really bad with names--here and IRL, it's sorta embarrassing). Lack of sleep and mental stress about the things I'm trying to balance are sucking my brain cells. The remaining one is getting lonely, though, so it's time I try to connect her to a friend (I am taking DS's remyelination supps, hoping it'll be good for my brain too ).

When you're back home and can do a proper trial, I would do it... but for a trip, personally I wouldn't worry about it. |

Nothing. Nada. Sorry, if I can't see a reaction taking them out or in, it's not real! And I think CS' daughter is good evidence that eggs really change during cooking, so raw and cooked could be quite different. Trial them back in. If I were going to Hawaii on Tuesday, I'd do it today, so you know, but that's just me . |
D'oh! Should have remembered to actually buy some eggs when I went out to the store! Would have made a trial today possible - I made the Betty Crocker GF devil's food cake mix, and could have used eggs! Oh well, they were yummy.
.....
I get to the point where I hobble because they hurt so badly- my mom and gran were the same way. I know it's probably me just being paranoid, but I wonder sometimes if it's not peripheral neuropathy as a result of Hashimoto's encephalopathy.| Some of the most common symptoms of Hashimoto's Encephalopathy include: disorientation, psychosis, tremors, concentration and memory problems, jerks in the muscles and lack of coordination, headaches, partial paralysis on the right side, and speech problems. Sometimes, patients are mistakenly diagnosed as having had a stroke, or having Alzeimer's. Typically, Hashimoto's antibodies levels will be high, and the patient may also have a diagnosable case of Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, but TSH levels may also be normal. |
Anyway... Niacin and MSM are what worked for a while.
They had colouring in them. I hate that almost-headache, totally spacy, sick feeling that the colouring gives me. |

If anyone saw my FB status yesterday, you know I had a BIG weekend with tons to do. Today was DP's day to sleep in, so I waited patiently, because I couldn't start moving anything into the garage until his car was out (it's dead.) He finally got up, and we started to move the car. He pushed while I steered out to the street, but I just didn't have the strength to turn it far enough with no power steering... so I told him to steer and I would push. Well, he thought he could do both from the doorway of the car. We started pushing and saw he was wincing. I told him to stop pushing, just steer, that I could push it (I was doing fine with pushing, and we only had a couple feet left to go.) He didn't, of course.... and when I got back into the house, he was lying on the floor, couldn't move. Had to help him up to the recliner, put heat and ice on his back for the next hour... arnica, pain pills (left over from his wisdom teeth).... and he still can't move or bend at all without yelling out in pain. (He's not the type of guy who normally lets you know when something hurts, so I know it's bad.)
So my whine is that I moved all the appliances out of the kitchen myself, moved the table, moved all the food, dishes, etc etc etc.... and I am SOOOOO tired. But I still have to finish cleaning and then cover all the cabinets with plastic. Oh yeah- and I have no stove, because I thought that the stove could use the dryer outlet in the garage... nope. So dinner was pathetic, and I'm hungry and pregnant and exhausted and frustrated, and I have NO idea how I'm going to get this all done by myself. But it HAS to get done, because I don't have a kitchen until it does. aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagggggggggggghhhhhhh. I'm about this --> <-- close to ordering a frickin pizza, but I can't even imagine how much worse that would make things right now. sigh.On a happier note, I made some gf bread this morning that is pretty fabulous. |

Anyone tried b-fresh gum? Looks pretty safe, no corn derivatives, and it has calcium and b12 in it, it's supposed to change the pH of your mouth to kill off bacteria. I have an email out asking what form of b12 it is. Found it on yasko's site. |

On a dairy related note, since dd can't handle either HLC MindLinx or Intensive, I am taking them myself. I think I may get dd some other pbx from Kirkman since she handles their bifidus fine. I have tried the B-fresh gum. It was the only "safe" gum with xylitol they had at my local gf store. I was scared to give it to dd once I saw how much B-12 was in it. It was good. B12 really helps me, and it is the main thing I get bad detox (or die-off?) with these days. I should try some of the other forms. I've just been using methyl. |
