I have to keep turning over often, but both sides hurt. I thought that this is just old age, but maybe not??????? I have been on the diet since March, but fell off the food wagon during the summer. Am trying to get back on now, but it is hard. Most of the time I stay away from wheat and dairy and have cut back on the coffee, but not given up and probably never will. I haven't lost any weight at all. I take bladderwrack and DGL from Dr. D's site, but have not taken kelp. Maybe I should try it.

That is the DGL that I am taking and I don't find any difference. The same with bladderwrack (spelling?), but I take them anyway. Maybe they are doing something that I can't see or feel.

Guest guest Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Hey , The weight loose may need to come by taking a thyroid supplement. I am taking thyroid by products (at the health food store) and a product called thyroid factors which is just high concentrations of kelp. Am loosing 2 pounds per day. I too was 20 lbs over weight. So far so good, but the kind of yucky feeling is probably your body either getting rid of the muck it has, or you are not avoiding the bad foods, like coffee. My joints have been stiff and sore especially my hips and I have no idea why Good luck, Debbie New... > From: we3smiths@... > > Hi, My name's , i live in Kelowna, B.C., i've followed the diet since Aug.99, at first i felt a huge increase in energy, but now i feel quite yucky...so i'm posting hoping for some encouragement. i'm impressed at the knowledge level in this mailgroup, you guys are really well-read!

Guest guest Posted October 21, 1999 Report Share Posted October 21, 1999 Hi Sharon, Someone mentioned deglycerized licorice for sore joints, but the health food store said it is for stomach problems. So, guess we will have to wait to find out what to do aye?

Guest guest Posted October 22, 1999 Report Share Posted October 22, 1999 When I first started on the O diet about a month ago someone wrote to me to remind me that I would go through a period of detoxification. We have been eating foods to which we are intolerant for decades (in my case 5). The immune system produces chemical junk as it tries to fight these unwelcome foods and the chemical junk needs time to clear out. Drink lots of water, be sure your bowwels are moving regularly and maybe get dsome detox herbal support for the kidneys, liver, spleen and lymph. Some kind of exercise which makes you sweat 15 or 20 minutes a day will be great for the lymph and spleen, or at least so I've found, not ot mention that your skin and hair will look better and better as you do it.

Guest guest Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 , Hey...neighbor. I live in Bloomington. I had an open procedure done coming up on 2 years ago. I have had some reflex problems but nexium helped..I am not taking it now since it is so expensive, so i am just kind of dealing with it. I don't know much about the bariatric procedure. I went to The Cleveland Clinic for my surgery. The docs here had no idea and actually did a lap and made mine much worse. So just do your research. in Indiana <cafemariposa@...> wrote: Hi group...I just joined. My name is , and I live in Indianapolis, IN.I have achalasia, but I ALSO have a wide open LES.My docs are saying there's nothing they can do, that it's actuallykind of a good thing my LES doesn't work. But the problem is, I havesuch bad reflux - nothing has helped. Reglan seems to do the best,for moving food along the path though.I am also a 4 yr. post op bariatric patient (weight loss surgery).Just wondering if there is anyone else out there with similarproblems. I'd love to hear from you, if so. You can email me privately.Many Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is without, what definition of achalasia is your doctor using? Maybe you should get a second opinion. To me it sounds like saying something like " I have macular degeneration and perfect maculas, " or " I have diabetes but no problem with my glucose levels. " I am short on sleep right now. Maybe it will sound better after I sleep. In any case, welcome to the group. notan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is ok not to do workouts first thing in the a.m. I am NOT a morning person. I usually do my cardio at lunch and weights in the evening. You can do your spinning class for cardio but you'll probably get better results if you modify it to the 20MAS or Interval training style of cardio.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2004 Report Share Posted October 13, 2004 I wouldn't *expect* to feel rundown, but if you suddenly realize, " Hey, I can't live on five hours of sleep, " don't be surprised. Weight training is very energy demanding (not just when you're lifting the weights, but afterward when your body is repairing the muscle). Also, you should always do the 20-minute HIIT cardio as described in the book. Spinning would be *in addition* to that. --- V <infinity_11@...> wrote: > Thanks!

Is that something you can do with nutrition or is this just > something that normally happens? > I don't think you will feel " rundown " perse, especially if you are already working out, and the spreading out of your meals is really good- you don't get those afternoon nappy feelings as much as when you have a big ole' lunch... BUT expect to feel very sore the first week or so of lifting, and then a " good " kind of sore when you are " hitting your tens " regularly. This will impact your progress in spinning class, because I can tell ya, your legs will be sore the next day and a half after a good leg workout! So you could still do your spin class the next day, but you probably won't have as much to give. On the other hand, its good to do cardio the next day, I think, because it'll loosen those incredibly sore leg muscles up. -jojo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2010 Report Share Posted September 12, 2010 Hi there... My DD is two....just recently was diagnosed with Polyarticular Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis along with her Combined Variable Immunodeficiency and Hypogammaglobulinemia she's had since birth. She just started Methotrexate injections and Remicade infusions, so far tolerating them ok, but it's been terrible watching her flare ups...it's so dehabilitating, and she just doesn't understand what's going on . Just wondering if there were anyone else out there with children so young with this diagnosis...they had said she was one of the younger ones...but I " m sure there are other's out there.

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 So sorry to hear of your little one struggling with this disease. There are others here on the list who have children as young as yours with some form of JA. I am sure one of them will post soon. It sounds like your rheumy is being aggressive with starting her on mtx and Remicade right away and that is a good thing. There is some research that suggests that children who have JA at a younger age are more likely to " outgrow " the JA - go into a permanent remission. You have found a great support group of parents who truly understand what you are going through. Please feel free to ask questions, vent, celebrate, etc whenever you need to. Keep us updated as to how your little one is doing, Michele ( 23, spondy) From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of kymberlie Sent: Sunday, September 12, 2010 11:13 AM Subject: New... Hi there...

Guest guest Posted September 13, 2010 Report Share Posted September 13, 2010 I know lots of people on here who's kids were diagnosed really young. I think the best you can do is explain to your little ones what's going on. I had to explain to my 5 year old brother and 7 year old why I can't play with them or give them piggy back rides any more. Of course it's a lot different to explain when it's happening to them. I really hope your little one gets better soon, in my eyes the sooner the diagnosis the earlier you get it under control. I was diagnosed when I had just turned 12 and now being almost 13 I look back at the rest of my life and we see signs of arthritis starting at age 5. MY way of explaining it to my brother? Inside of my body the things that keep me from getting sick make me sick and make my joints hurt. I hope this helps somehow. Sending hugs and love!
