Do carob chips have corn syrup in them? Hate to bring it up but I got my

swollen ankles and fiery feet from the carob chips I happily bought. Got'em

in a bulk place so couldn't read the label.

Some might, but a lot of carob chips have milk powder in them. It is hard to

find ones that do not have avoids in them.

Probably the same as almonds, but I don't really know.

The palm kernel oil is something else I did notice. That seems kind of

contradictory when you buy carob chips as a 'healthy' alternative to

chocolate and they are dense with saturated fat...ugh.

I've also found Soy Nut Butter in my health food store. It's really good and

it's hard to tell the difference between it and Peanut Butter. I've been

eating a lot more soy with this food plan, too. Soy milk, etc. This helps

with the menopausal thing in my case. I have refused to take estrogen because

it makes me sick. The lowest dose raised my BP to 144/88 when it's normally

about 90/60.

Our health good store that just closed down was the only place intown here

that had them. In VA I use to eat a type non dairy with the brandname

something like Chadwick - Chad something. They are out there. The ones I

found up here have whey. Most have palm kernel oil. Not sure about that.

I know what you mean about carob chips with milk. The ones I saw in the

market (after I bought the ones in the bulk bin in another store) said there

was whey in them. Well, at least you can get the powdered carob and my

store said it was just carob for heaven sake.

What nutrition value does almond butter have?

Calcium?

I'm not menopausal - yet - probably permenopausal - but I like soy too with

its phytoestrogens. I drink a soy drink around PMS time sometimes and it

seems to help even me out. Lots of B complex is important too for that.

Helps the liver turn the estrogen into estriol instead of " bad " estrogen

which is what wreaks havoc with us. Thanks - I should be doing that now but

haven't been.

Yes - almonds and almond butter have calcium. I use it on toast but

would like to try the soybutter cause I like PB but have an allergy to it

along with it being a forbid and, to me, almond butter, doesn't fit the bill

that way.

By the way - I just had a salad with olive oil, lemon and instead of the

usual vegit I tried Bragg Liquid Aminos and it was really good! Someone

recommended tamari, but I got some of this recently as a soy - tamari

substitute. Made strictly from soybeans and distilled water. The sodium is

naturally occuring in it. 110 mg. per 1/2 tsp. Lots of flavor though. I

really like it. Just have to go easy cause of the sodium - and it even has

several amino acids in it!

Almods and thus almond butter has protein and of course fat. Almonds are

supposed to have calcium too, probably not as much as some kinds of seaweed,

but lots compared to other nuts I guess.

The deglycerized (spelling?) licorice will provide some plant estrogens too,

FYI.

Almond milk is good too. You can make yummy shakes with almond milk and

frozen banana. Personally I find the taste a bit more appetizing than

seaweed. (Not to discount the value of seaweed) Jeanie

Yes - and its excellent for healing stomach ulcers which O's sometimes

suffer with. Also a good blood sugar stabilizer - or is that only the

regular licorice root? Jeanie

Hi, Rochelle. We aren't too far from each other. I am in the Chicago area and we

had a hard frost last night. Feels like fall to me! Carol

Carol,

Where in the Midwest are you? I am in KCMO

Rochelle

[Guest guest]

Hi, Jeanie. Yes, this area can be exciting, there is a lot to offer here,

but weather is not one of them! I was born and raised here, but I don't

like all the traffic and congestion. I would like to live in a small town

-- well, in fact I do live in a suburb but the suburbs are almost as bad

the city, so it's suburban sprawl. Unfortunately, I have a good job here

and so -- what are you going to do? Some day, maybe, hubbie and I can move

to a small town, just walk to the store and live in a more natural way.

Sounds good to me! Carol

Hi! You know, the bottoms of my feet were burning a couple of weeks ago,

and I was trying to explain it to my husband. I told him it felt like a

chemical burn! Could that be from eating corn? I washed them with soap and

water and rubbed lotion on, and they felt better. carol

Re: meat, flax, coffee, success

From: " aikya " <aikya@...>

Hi

When I eat corn or some corn product slips by me (corn syrup EVERYWHERE,

maltodextrin hiding in every crevice!!!), my feet and ankles swell and the

bottom of my feet burn. If I didn't realize I ate a corn something or

other, my ouchy feet will get me reviewing what went in my mouth. Sure

enough, something will have corn. Maltodextrin is the one that puts me

into

a temper. I found it in the cranberry extract I was taking to help my

kidneys along. Mean!

It is the low pressure that comes with the cold front. I am suffering now

too, as the low is just coming in. However as it becomes more regular (in

the winter) it is easier to deal with. I find the first month to 6 weeks of

coming winter very painful. But I would rather have the cold most days than

the 95' heat or high humidity. That just sucks the energy out of me. Dress

warm, especially your hands and feet. And eat spicy foods if you enjoy them

and can tolerate them. This O has a cast iron stomach, except for coffee

which I never liked much until latte's and cappchino became the fad. So it

was not hard to give up for me. But peppers, curry and ginger help me and

seem to make the pain easier. Of course I do not necessarily recommend them

all in the same dish.......or maybe. Hummm, I will let you know. LOL
