I struggle too. I was pregnant 4 times with 3 births. I also had prolapse. Sometimes I make it. Sometimes I use leaky bladder pads.

You are beautiful. I struggle with the same problems, but I'm doing it for me and my health. I'm the one doing for everyone else. This I need to do for me, so I can be there for my family.

I agree on the expensive part. I look for gluten free products and I am very disappointed that so many of them have soy in the ingredients. Not a soy fan. Soy is very bad for the oxalate kidney stones I get.

Yes, I have had a problem with not enough nutrients, so I started taking some supplements. I was short on all those you mentioned. I also stopped using table salt due to kidney/kidney stone problems. I started using kelp like one tablet every 3 or 4 days for iodine. Also, I added pink salt (not himalayan), I thought it was…

I take mine in the morning, it is on my bedside table. After using the restroom. Ha Ha

I tasted the Daiya "cheese" both the motzerella and the cheddar and they were both very good. Especially since I've been dairy free for a couple of months. I also have tried nutritional yeast. (It is not an active yeast so no risk of infections) It tastes buttery, nutty, and slightly cheesey. I like both olive oil and…

I was wondering that too. Nuts, soy, and seeds are high in oxalate, which is a chemical that can help cause kidney stones. Even though I drink 12 cups of water a day.

New to GF. What is in your flour mix and measurements please? Thanks

Thanks for the input. I actually found some in a store, but haven't opened it yet.

I juiced, but it wasn't exclusively juice. I also eat vegies cooked and lean meat. It has helped with the weight loss. I don't follow a recipe I just juice what I have. I never tried kale before juicing and it is pretty good. I haven't tried it any other way yet. I didn't eat pears fresh, but the juice is good. I guess it…

Why don't you keep it around anymore? Is there anything about it that you know of that is not good for you? I have been dairy free for about a month and just learned about it.

Thanks for the tip on the goitrogens. Besides broccoli, soy, and cauliflower, what vegies are goitrogens? Thanks for helping. Do you have any suggestions for vitamin B supplements? I have heard to get them in a capsule instead of a hard pill for better absorption. Is there any good supplements that are not very expensive…

My level is low and I have hypothyroidism. I read too much iodine can put into hyperthyroidism. I am taking Kelp from Nova Scotia and Pacific. The bottle says iodine (from kelp) 150 mcg; Nova Scotia and Pacific kelp 300 mg. I take one tablet every 3 or 4 days. No, I haven't checked with my dr. I won't see her til April but…

I saw a dr in January who suggested I become sugar, gluten, and dairy-free. It is a major amount of changes. I was already alcohol free. I don't want to eat any processed food except rice is the only thing I can eat. The wheat/flour/sugar did awful things to my guts. I don't think I'll ever be in the zero depression phase,…

Contradulations on your weight lose. It was a great hint about adding back the calories that you burnt. My dr. told me not to add the calories back in. But sometimes I was just so hungry. You were successful and you added the calories back in. Yeah. I am on two appetite suppresants. I am wondering what is going to happen…

It does sound delicious.

Love almonds. Have hypothyroid. But almonds do not love me they are high in oxalate among a lot of other things like soy etc which can lead to kidney stones. I only eat them rarely. Darn it . . . love them.

Sounds goods. Except for almond butter (kidney stones). I think it would good with a substitute nut butter.

[/quote] I have only tried the Udi mullet and chia bread it is good. It is the only gf thing I've tried. Gluten-free items are so expensive. So much of gf has other ingredients in it that I'm also having problems with like soy.

You have done a terrific job. Hats off to ya.

[/quote] I think you're missing my point. I lost 153lbs with OUT doing insanity. That's prett significant. Out of those 153lbs loss, I lost 30lbs by not doing anything due to an injury. My point I am trying to get across to you, You can get "results" without doing insanity, and you can lose weight even with an injury. It's…

MFP does not have this option. I know of a free site that is like MFP but a lot more diabetic friendly so you can post your diabetes blood glucose, A1C, etc , exercise videos, groups, etc It is called www.sparkpeople.com. I am actually using both. I like my friends here.

1700 gluten free (no wheat, rye, barley, oats), dairy free, soybean free, No genetically modified corn oils etc. Just gotten over gallbladder surgery avoiding gassy foods.

I had surgical menopause, had hormones (the horse urine ones), then compounded hormones worked best. Gained weight. I had gallbladder surgery too. Continued to gain weight. Lots of thyroid (low)/hypothyroid issues. If you have trouble losing weight or continue to gain weight you may want to have your thyroid checked out.…

I have TMJ too. Sometimes the pressure from the mask on the face and teeth create pain.

I've already exhaused mask options due to car accidents and pressure on back of neck. I've used the machine for over a year and still struggle to get to sleep. I took a break from the cpap machine and had bad morning headaches. Hypothyroid NO SLEEP Sat in a recliner (could fall asleep without cpap), put on cpap mask and…

Thanks for the suggestions. I'll give them a try. I'm going to try that Daiya cheese I've never heard of it. Where do you find it in the store?
