Karin,
Was this a recipe or a blend? I couldn't find it on the site. I just tried Rocamojo for the first time and hated it! I want to drink it though (it was $10 and I hate to waste it!) so I need "mix-in's".  Let me know any ideas to "liven it up"!

I just used about 3 full teaspoons of the Rocamojo in a little over 1/2 cup hot water in a separate cup. Then I fill and heat a mug half full with rice milk, a teaspoon of carob powder (you can use cocoa instead) and some honey. I use a coffee strainer to strain the strong coffee into the hot milk mixture then I have my mocha. I've learned with IBS that some things take some time to develop a taste for, but it usually happens or you just starve.........lol. Many things I hated before I eat now because I've developed a taste for them. I hated carob when I first started this diet, but now I've come to appreciate it.

Thanks Karin,
Now it sounds like something I can tolerate! Of course, anything with chocolate is tolerabe-I have NO PUDGE brownies in the oven as I type! I'll make a cup of Rocomojo Mocha to go along with them! LOL

Okay, I gotta butt in here 'cause you've piqued my interest. "No-Pudge Brownies"? Are these anything at all like the incredible "Antidepressant Brownies" found in the recipe section of this website, perhaps? Steph, ya gotta share your recipe -- that's the rule, ya know!  Bev

there's a whole string about these - they're actually from a mix!

I found other kinds of brownies on the index, but no "No-Pudge" variety. ???? Are they are good as the "Antidepressant" kind? (I love them!)

Hi Sherri, Please have your thyroid levels checked next blood work you have done, ok? The hair falling out might be a good indicator. Also notice if you have less hair on your forearms than you used to. (There are so many other symptoms to numerous to go into here.) If you test out to be hypothyroid, or even close to it (they keep lowering the TSH ranges) you should'nt consume soy in any form. (sorry) Email me if you want more info. BTW, where in So Cal are you?
Happy Holidays, Kandee

Hi Michelle,
(First off, BEAUTIFUl picture of you!) 
Just passing on a little info here.......
Raisins are NOT as high in iron as some think. Historically they used to be because they were dried on iron plates. The raisins picked up the iron. Raisins are not processed that way today. (Your oatmeal is likely higher in iron.) A better source is blackstrap molasses. Yummy stirred into a soy or rice beverage as you would chocolate syrup into milk. Doc is right, Vit. C helps you absorb iron better BUT any plant source of iron is not absorbed as well as an animal source. (You may have to bite the bullet and take an iron pill for a while, but if it upsets your gut take with food or at night just before you retire.) If you have a problem with regular Vit. C, (I do) then go the "sodium ascorbate" route, not ascorbic acid. Even the "buffered" ascorbic acid kind, which contains calcium can be hard on the gut.
They even make a tiny 25mg. sodium ascorbate pill for kids with touchy tummies.
You may want to do a search on on plant foods high in iron.
Here is a start: http://www.dfwnetmall.com/veg/plantfoodshighcontentiron.htm
(Spinach is high in so many things....Popeye was RIGHT!)
Hope this helps a little.
Happy Holidays, 
Kandee
