I'm sorry I haven't been posting as much lately. I'm trying to figure out what's wrong with me! I think I either have Celiac OR an inablitiy to digest sugars (glucose/sucrose/fructose) as I might be missing the enzyme needed to digest them. I am also curious to learn more about connections between ADD and food...if anyone knows any good links/sources, post away!
I'm also sick!  I've had strep throat 5 times this year, and this is my fourth cold (the other colds became brunchitis/sinusitis...and I'm hoping this one won't)! So you can just imagine how many antibiotics I've taken this year--and I refuse to take more!!! Does anyone know what I can do to overcome a sinus infection OR bronchitus WITHOUT an antibiotic?
Heather--You're right! Rice is ok for Celiacs! But not for all...many Celiacs have problems with corn, potatoes, rice, soy, and chicken--and dairy too! Did you know corn is in EVERYTHING? There's maltodextrin in my probiotics!!! I couldn't figure out how they were upsetting my stomach until I made the connection (I thought I was NUTS)! Btw, is a casein a milk protein? Heather, thank you again for all your help! I'll keep you posted as I go and let you know what I find out--please do the same! ((((hugs))))
Angela--I'm SO GLAD about your mom--that's WONDERFUL news!!!!!!!!!! I'm SO HAPPY for YOU!!!! ((((hugs))) Please keep us updated! I wish it hadn't taken so long for this to happen--but I'm glad it did! Hopefully your mom will be able to be more understanding now--and hopefully your relationship will grow as well! I am sorry though to know your mom went through so much pain...alone (and your grandfather too)! I hope you and your mom will find the cause of your symptoms and get better soon! (I'm sure you will)! And remember--we're always here for you! ((hugs)) Good luck--take care!
Kerrie--I'm SO SORRY to hear your news! Please forgive me for not being in touch...I'll write soon! How is everything going for you? I've been thinking about you throug out! You're a WONDERFUL person--and a great mom--and I feel strongly there should b more moms/people like you in the world! You're VERY caring! I pray that you have as many children as you want!!! You deserve it! You are VERY STRONG and I'm sure you'll be fine--but if you ever have a weak moment (we all do)! please write! We're here you (((biggest hugs)))
Lorna, Han, H2, Tnchawk, Barb, Mags, and everyone--Thanks for always being there and responding to my posts. I love you all!
Susaloh--I am also concerned about my nutritional health! What with eating potatoes and living on Ensure! I am doing as MUCH reading as I can...I went to the library Sunday (they aren't open on Sunday--I was livid!) in search of nutritional books. I am interested to know exactly what and how much of EVERYTHING your body needs--from protein to sugar to vitamins/minerals! I may end up at an allergist for food testing, a nutrtionist for my nutritional questions--but I am trying to figure out what I "have" first! I hope to try a new GI (I'll see how long an appointment takes) and hopefully that wil help with a diagnosis. If not, I'll be going it solo until I can get appointment! If I get ANY nutritional info. I will be happy to share with you! How long have you been eating this way? I hope you'll be able to incorporate more in your diet soon! Do you have food intolerances (allergies, sensativities)? Good luck--we'll keep each other posted!
BritSarah--Thank you AGAIN for the soup info.! I've yet to try it--I'll have to wait until I feel better again...but I'm very much looking forward to it!
Michelle--How are you doing? How's your plan coming along? We're thinking about you...please write back and let me know how it's going! (((hugs)))
Andie--Sorry I've been absent from the hypno. board. How's it going for you? I also felt like I was trying with the star session...it seemed a bit unnatural--as I've listened more and more I'm beginning to relax a bit--did you find the same? I hope all's well with you, keep in touch! ((hugs))
Rachel/Beth-- How are you doing? We haven't heard from you in a while! I wanna know how the past couple of weeks went for you?! Is the counselor working out? I hope so...and I hope you feel MUCH better! (((hugs)))
GEA--I miss you! I hope you're ok...
LegaGal--Did you get your test results back yet? I'm anxious to hear your news--either way! Please let us know how things are going--what the results show--and your plan of action  You have a GREAT attitude and I'm sure things will all work out for you!
I know there are other folks I need to catch up with...and I'll try! Thanks again to everyone here for their support and caring! I hope everyone is doing well!
(((BIG HUGS)))
