Be well my cyber friends and treat your body the best you can, promise me that. 
I am tired of always being the strong one. I am tired of not being able to take care of my family. But mostly, I am tired of being in pain. The only good thing to come out of this is maybe I don't have an allergy to gluton or wheat after all, maybe all the pain was due to the infection. I guess I will not know for sure until I get better, whenever that is. Oh, and despite my lack of exercise and moving around for that matter my daughter is now telling me I look anorexic and that I am wasting away. D.H. on the other hand says I have never looked better. Today I am going to try to keep my food down as yesterday I failed and I am under strict doctors orders not to throw up [lol]. 
for now I will just leave you with this message because I have to beleive it myself:

I really hope you figure out what's wrong! I finally figured out that anything I eat that has whey protein as an ingredient gives me horrible gas. Intestinal distress is no fun at all! |

I am also learning what foods make me feel better or worse. I don't know about food allergies, but I have IBS and Rosacia and both are very sensitive to foods. It really is amazing how much better you can feel when eating the foods that work for your system. Best wishes on this journey of self-discovery. BTW, even if you don't have Cealiac's disease...you could still have a gluten sensitivity. If it bothers you then just stay away! |

It certainly could be a reaction to food. I had been feeling quite unwell, BUT after inadvertently cutting out gluten (I cut out most carbs because I was having trouble losing weight), I felt sooo much better that I thought a miracle healing had occurred. really. I went back to carbs and in a week, felt terrible again--which is when someone suggested the problem might be gluten and not carbs, in general. I had the blood work done (Celiac panel) just this Tuesday and am waiting for the results. I cut out gluten on Thursday after deciding that I didn't want to stay on gluten for the length of time needed to get the biopsy. I am already feeling better. Hopefully your food issue is a little less pervasive than gluten. Good luck in your detective work! Deb  Comment edited on: 2/28/2010 11:39:15 PM |

Hope you are feeling better soon. Allergies are no fun. I suddenly became allergic to carrots (well, it seemed sudden to me) and it was like I'd eaten steel wool. I still miss carrots, but not enough to eat them. Good luck figuring it out.

I think I'll have to do some research on gluton and what to avoid...(See you previous blog) Is that new team allergies helpful for info? |

I went to the allergist and had them poke my back with a myriad of allergens and all I came out to be allergic to from that test was. . .dust mites. So, off to my dr. I went, shared all of my symptoms and she said no gluten for 6 months to clear out my system and hopefully see improvement. She also said there is a very specific blood test that needed to be done and a scope into the intestines to officially diagnose celiac. So, I opted for just ditching the gluten and at 6 weeks out I am feeling much better. Keep working with your dr. and tracking what you are eating before the tummy aches. That will be very helpful. In the meantime, know you are not alone. I'm in the trenches with you. . .eating carefully.

Hey Lori, I hope you feel better. What do you think you have an allergy to? |

well I am not sure about that "lookin like a fool" lyric but............today I got my pants on for a change and omg, like they are too big!!! and my shirt........waaay too big. I am very pleased with that. I showed d.h. and he kissed my thinner belly. Isn't that sweet?? Then later he came home with..............a pizza. Go figure right?? Well it was my decision to wait until I was hungry and then I actually seasoned up and ate ONE slice. It was all I needed or wanted. Weird thing is I noticed afterward my abdomen was hurting. I am now wondering if maybe I am gluten intolerant or something like that or maybe have some really bad food allergies?? It IS a possibility. I hope I get to the bottom of this soon. I hate feeling crappy. I am going to have to put notes in my food journal to try and track down what the problem is. I told d.h. when I am all better I may just see my regular m.d. and get tested for allergies. We shall see. Anyway, I am happy being the thinner me. Just had to report that. 
. And now for all you american idol fans out there here is the pants on the ground guy:

Interesting!! The same thing happened to me - the after effects of pizza that is! It was like I ate a tbsp of yeast and it was swelling in my tummy. Then I gained and held it for a few days, than back to the weight I was before I ate it! I've wondered the same thing for awhile and I have really cut back on bread products but I really should be documenting after effects of eating particular foods. I want my pants on the ground too!

Way to go! Awesome! I can totally see after having a surgery that your tum tum might be giving you some issues, especially with all of that yummy CHEESE on a pizza -- my mom had some issues for a long time after her hip replacement, couldn't eat anything rich at all. Anyway feel better soon and enjoy those falling off pants, hahaha! |

oh happy day???
Thursday, February 25, 2010
well here it is day two of absolutely NO pills whatsoever, isnt that amazing?? it is for me anyway. wow! While I was feeling very weak and dizzy I did manage to eat some healthy food today and drink water. I am consciously making better choices and that is good. Half a tuna sandwich on twelve grain bread [yes, I did ask dh to buy it and YES he did!!! go dh!]. I could not manage the whole sandwich but I will finish it for lunch tomorrow. He also asked me what I wanted for dinner so I opted for a little rice and chinese veggies with brown garlic sauce and nothing else. I told him I don't eat much so please do not fill up the plate because then it will go in the garbage so.......he actually listened to me and I got a small plate with a normal amount of food and a little brown sauce on top and not smothered. He is learning, yes! Okay, so............lately I have been reading a lot of different blogs and information on what is called clean eating and also a few vegan and veggie blogs as well. I am really confused about all this but know in my heart what foods I like and those I do not like. I am trying to prepare for when I am well and am able to go out and do my own shopping. We do not have a whole foods here [bummer] so I shall be going to Stop and Shop and buying some fresh fruits and veggies and almond milk , some hummus, and maybe some organic foods and treats and salsa, cottage cheese, and not sure what else my stomach will be able to handle. Any suggestions out there would be most helpful. My question for everyone is: What types of healthy food do you buy and Why?

I like to stick to the principle, eat what is in it's original form as much as possible, but still love pasta and bread. Have you tried Sandwich Thins yet? I'm going to try them for the first time tomorrow (they sent me coupons through the HouseParty website). They are small rounds that are just 100 calories for both slices and available in different wheats but all have a good fiber content and protein. I'm looking forward to eating more sandwiches that way! |

Hi Lori, Personally, some of my favorites are: - hummus and carrots - peanute butter and apple - cheese and egg whites I have read that you should always try and mix protein into whatever you eat to ensure that you are able to stay satisfied. I've been trying to that, and it's working. I have also been trying to get organic milk, cheese, meat, etc. At the end of the day, there are so many different variables. I'd love to hear what others say. |

Way to go! I'm so happy for you! Praying for you and praying God's peace and strength fill you to overflowing! Lately, I've been buying lots of organic veggies, then chopping them up as soon as I get home - I put them in a big tupperware tub in the 'fridge and have a quick healthy convenient snack anytime |

So glad to hear that you are on the mend! Actually, I don't care for the Whole Foods store. I think it's overpriced. My main store is Stop & Shop. They do carry a good selection of organic foods although I don't seek them out. I love their frozen blue berries, which my nutritionist says has more nutrients than fresh b/c they're packed at peak freshness. I also buy their green tea. I use their unsweetened organic cranberry juice in my tea instead of lemon juice. I recently discovered Trader Joe's. The upside of the long lines is that I usually make a friend on the insane line. I love their crunchy peanut butter, their snack-size raw unsalted almonds, their Greek yogurt, chopped walnuts, raw cashews and innumerable other products. You have to see it to believe it. They just came out with their own brand of resveritrol, a nutrient made from grape skins. It is one of the highest antioxidant products in the world. In any case, follow your taste buds. I look forward to your next blog and to your continued elevation to perfect health.

Wholefoods is overrated... and SO EXPENSIVE! Enjoy Stop & Shop! I always buy lots of veggies (I don't care if it's organic or not - it's all the same to me), fresh fruits, frozen veggies, frozen berries, eggs, granola, almond milk, soy milk, and tofu at my local big-chain supermarket. There are only certain things I can ONLY get at Trader Joe's: hummus, low-fat granola, big tubs of greek yogurt (the supermarkets only sell the little cups of them, which isn't nearly enough for me!), edamame (the supermarkets jack up the price of it), and a few other choice items. Don't get what I get -- get what you enjoy! There's no shopping list that guarantees the ultimate health and/or weight-loss. What's important is that the groceries you buy are things you enjoy eating! |
