I too can't drink cow's milk. I prefer Rice Milk, by far. Not grainy at all, like many people say. Although, when I drank cow's milk....lots of it....I drank skim milk.

@vailara: I understand that feeling, I really slowly progressed due to fear.I think whatever the doc tells you. The damage to our heart is different for everybody.

@priv8life - Yes, I really have adjusted to a vegan/vegetarian diet. I like to cook so that helps. I use to be a meat and potatoes lover and also enjoyed the occassional fast food meal. I now eat mostly scratch cooking. I enjoy hearty salads i.e. Spinach, lots of fresh veggies, fresh fruit or cranberries, some type of bean…

Priv. Good for you. You sound committed to making a difference. I think for many people they don't think they can stick with a healthy lifestyle and give up before they realize that they can live a long healthy life, even after a heart attack. A girl I was dating in High School (35 years ago) recently posted on facebook…

I was very close to death and what works for me when i don't feel like going to the gym or crave something unhealthy...... I think about being on the phone with the 911 operator and telling her I wasn't going to make it. I gave her…

I also has a heart attack in April 2011. I've lost about 30lbs since that day and feel great. I am now vegan and hopefully I am reversing my heart disease. Continuing to lose weight and following doctors orders, with regards to exercise. I was also tested for food allergies and have eliminated those items which were…

"Have a good day, unless you have other plans!" I am responsible for my attitude!

You are converting fat to muscle... muscle weighs more.... stay the course. Don't focus on your weight! Continue to focus on a healthy meal plan and exercise!

Doesn't sound like gluten. I had a similiar problem that went on for a couple of years. After beiong tested for food intolerances I found out that I was allergis to red pepper and especially black pepper. When I eliminated both of them, my cough disappeared.
