Never be embarrased for going to the ER. Better safe than sorry is a true statement! I went and was in AFib. Easily fixed in my case with fluids. Now there have been 2 times I got that kid of pain. Once from reflux, which was horrible! felt like a knife going over the right side of my chest. Gone as fast as it came. The…

I have not only met a few, I consider them very good friends. Some are in my profile pix. Great peeps.

Right now I do not miss gluten at all. Nor do I miss the stomach aches, my swollen feet or the headaches. :wink: It is so hard to eat out though, as I also cannot have citrus (lemon), tomatoes (sauces), pepper, raw onions, hot or spicy sauces or anything with nitrates (sausages) How many times can one say, "May I have some…

Just keep following your heart. It is leading you in the right direction. I hope your feet feel ok today!

Huh, I just checked and I am way under on Cholesterol. Which brand? I am curious because it never occured to me to check this out at all and I have very high chol

I use it because I hate eating breakfast and will find it is 12:30 with no food in my system!:noway: I have Nutripro Vanilla Cake Batter Whey Protein (which a friend trained in nutrition and exericse recc.) This morning I was running late for my waitress job. I knew I was going to hit the ground running with nothing in my…

Today I prayed for someone who had wronged me. I wished joy to someone who caused me darkness. My soul is lighter today because of the love you have shown on this thread. Yes, there is a purpose for each and every thing we do or say.

Great job. You have not only survived, you have gone above and beyond. I am going to share your story with my friend. Thank you for your kindness. You will never know what it means to me. Saying a prayer for your grandmother now.:heart:

And Chief? I am saying a prayer right now for you. May you have a wonderful run. God Bless you in this endeaver. Amen:heart:

Debbie (survivor) And your parents are blessed to have such a caring son:love:

The specific workouts are not in the system because each person burns something different depending on weight, age and level of work out. I use a heart rate monitor, but before that I used Aerobics, low impact to high impact. You know how hard you worked by how much sweat there is on your towel! :laugh: If you can afford a…

Thank you for the info. I wondered and couldn't find an answer. This makes sense.

"Take the Long Way Home" "Oops I Did it Again" "Another One Bites the Dust" :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

A few years ago I went from 170 of very out of shape me to 132 pounds of working out hard me. I did it all here, and it was very obvious I had made big changes. Because I was so happy and healthy, I wanted to share with anyone who asked. After the 3rd or 4th time I told the story in detail I realized they were looking for…

My diet is very restricted from IBS, reflux and migraines. So no nitrates (deli meats or sausage) no tomatoes (:noway: :sad: no tomato sauce?) and now I have gone GF at the gastro's suggestion. I am truly not sure if gluten has played a role in the IBS or reflux for me. The celiac/gluten intolerence test results are not…

Dear Posters, I wanted to offer a brief explanation for the locking of this thread. The forum guidelines include these items: 15. Divisive Topics Are Better Suited For Groups, Not the Main Forums Divisive topics, particularly those that seek input from or are relevant only to a select group of users, are better placed…

Dear Users, I have locked this thread for a few reasons: First-it was resurrected from January Second- the OP has not posted since March Third- the reason it was allowed to stay up in the beginning is because the OP was seeking help. The responses were kind and helpful at that time, and so we let it the thread just die.…

I have always wondered if the weight gain is from eating more because the patient feels less depressed, or a chemical reaction that slows the metabolism. Maybe someone knows?:flowerforyou:

Right now I am on a very strict diet. In the beginning it made for some very trying times to fill in the 'feeding' schedule, as I can become hypogylcemic quite easily. I find a mid morning snack of 1-2 tbls of organic peanutbutter (or almond) on GF crackers is perfect. You can also do the butter on apples, celery or some…

Squeel! Lucky you:love: I love him. I resisted the scripts too until my friend told me about her Barretts. I am taking it now only because I am waking up with that taste in my mouth, sore throat and coughing. you know exactly what I mean! So I figure while I am sleeping it is doing it's damage. That is what is funny about…

Hi! First, that looks like Tony Dabaloni (sp) from Dancing with the Stars in your picture! :love: Anyway, I too have reflux and wish like crazy I had quit the foods that aggravated it 3-4 years ago, continued in my weight loss/exercise regime, before they did perm damage to my esophagus. When I was 48 I had dropped 35…

It is frustating to begin with, but you will get it! For me it was easier to make one meal and break it up. Especially sandwiches. I LOVE them so that was easy peasy for me. I'd have my egg white veggie omelet for breakfast with 1 pc of low cal whole grain toast, 10 am 1/2 sandwich, 12:20 other half of sandwich plus a…

Oh that is good. You are aware of what to look for. The taste stuff stinks! But of course on for a weight loss 'starter' it certainly kept me from any Easter goodies. I hope it helps you achieve your goals. It is hard when you get down to the last 20.

When I was 8 months pregnant we were driving thru GA on vacation. We stopped at a little mom and pop BBQ. I ordered a sweet tea, because I always look forward to the deep south and southern tea. The grandma type waitress (now picture pin curled gray hair, apron, round face and body, huge smile, glasses) brings me a huge…

This made me giggle. About 2 months ago my entire pantry was unders siege by weevils, so all my wheat based items went in the dumpster. Two full bags of food (which really did make me cry because I am on a tight budget!) I am wondering now if someone above was trying to tell me something:wink:

I made my gravy with the pan drippings and corn starch. Was the same.

I kinda walked around looking for something to eat the first week or so. I was so used to eating my bread with bread and a side of pasta, that I had no idea what to eat! Now, 3 weeks later, I am glad I didn't try to subsitute it. It is more of a habit than anything else (I am amazed to admit!) I had my first burger on a…
