Sorry I haven't been posting guys. Have been dealing with tummy issues, my doctor, issues about the vega test that my naturopath did (I'm angry, apparantly there are moves all through the medical community to have this test banned as it has no merit and has been discredited no end), kid issues (they've been driving me nuts!) DH issues (found out that even for the army reserves he has to go away for 12 weeks training and the regular army which has HEAPS more benefits only requires 12 weeks so have been having major career talks) and apparantly depression. I've been feeling really down the last few weeks and really angry. I've been yelling at my family, my friends, my children and it got so no one wanted to be around me  I talked to my GP about it today and he's put me on a low dose AD to help with anxiety (I also couldn't sit still for more than 2 minutes so read posts all day but couldn't sit long enough to reply)so I'm hoping soon I will be me again (me is usually happy and pretty much care free). I've also made some discoveries about some of my intolerances to sacilites (sp?) and/or amines and will probably go through a proper elimination diet with the hospital soon. Lactose may be a big problem and that way I'll learn what to aviod or cut down on to be my healthiest. So just wanted to say hi and explain why I hadn't done a whole lot of posting/replying the last few days. Glad most of us seem to be doing well and big hugs to all who aren't.

Amy, oh no, I'm so sorry that you're feeling depressed. There seems to be a lot of that right now. 
Things will get better and I wish you the best.

I think we all get like that sometimes - I certainly do!
Are you still cutting out sugar or have you given up on that? Cos I made another batch of cereal bars and using applesauce is defintely possible...the ones I made with half the amount of honey and then applesauce were so yummy!

Sorry you are having such a difficult time. When it rains, it pours. You have a lot going on now. I surely can relate to depression. As you know, I deal with that, on and off. It is no fun---kind of like a beast that appears out of nowhere and takes the joy out of your life.
I'm glad your doctor started you on an AD. Hang in there, for some of those take awhile to kick in. Hopefully, you will be back to your chipper self again soon!
Thinking of you. ((((Big hug))))

Thanks guys. I guess I didn't really know what was wrong till I talked to my doctor about it. I thought I was just hyper or something. Linz I can't find that recipie but if you can I'd love it! I'm not sugar free any more. My doc said there's no need to be, however that being said I'm not o'ding. Just half a teaspoon in my decaf tea etc and if it happens to be in a jar of sauce that's okay too, just not too much of it.
I took my first pill last night. Maybe I took it too late or something cause I could hardly get out of bed this morning, when I did it was like my brain and mouth weren't connected, and even now I still feel like I've been drugged or something. I hope this feeling goes away soon! Love back to you all xxx

..I can't find it either (it's late  ) but the basic recipe is....
12 T PB
12 T Honey
200g Rolled Oats
200g Buckwheat Flakes
Mix, put into a greased and lined 9x13" baking pan and bake at 300F for ten minutes.
I've added a cup of raisins and that was good, if more crumbly. And I took out half the honey and put 12T of applesauce in it's place with 2t of cinnamon and that was nice too. Soooo moreish.
