Guest guest Posted April 10, 2009 Report Share Posted April 10, 2009 Yeah, I had another bad morning after feeling GREAT again. I think it may have been the cookies - drat – or that I forgot to take my medicine (on some low dose Zoloft for post-partum stuff I have going on. I will be done nursing in about 1-2 more months and think my hormones should level back out by then) so not sure which caused my outburst, but I think something in the cookies as it takes more than one pill to go off the deep end, right?. Good thing is that now my husband will not be bringing home any more snacks as I had asked him not too HAAA. Guess it takes a full on rant to get support and realize that this diet is helping me slash us. I am feeling a little better now, but I had a full on rage because my house is ALWAYS a disaster despite what feels like hours of cleaning, changing diapers, feeding everyone, picking up continually etc. etc. and while I understand little one’s not having the attention span etc. to pick up a lot and acting, well, childish. My husband on the other hand needs to act like, well, a MAN. (or, maybe he is ha ha no offense). Then, he asked me to look over something for him (I am continually doing work for him to help his law firm) but it threw me over the edge (way more than it should have) but it was like, I cook, I clean, I watch the kids, I have to help YOU on your business for free, and you cant even pick up your damn anything and now it is too late/not really enough money to go to Busch Gardens with the girls like I had wanted to do to get out of the house for once but … blab la bla… I was pretty horrible, emotional, overwhelmed mess. Yikes. How does he stand me? On a happier noteJ. I too need the probiotics – can any of you recommend a good brand? Too, know of one for kids? (age 3 and 8 mos.?) It is good for them too for immune support etc. as I understand, but not sure on dosing etc. for them. I am with you – I think there are probably certain things that may always bug me – gum snapping, sniffles – etc. but hopefully it is more of – dude what up with that bad manners? Versus – lucky I don’t have a gun handy or you would be joining the Angels and me the other murderers in the slammerJ. Anyway, lesson learned to STICK with the program. I will be happy to figure out what are my food triggers. I guess it is good to know they exist though now – it is real – and therefore I can have some sort of control over my health and emotions. Lord knows I need it!!! Thanks for letting me vent!

I'm a big fan of omega 3 and I take a daily supplement of Carlson's fish oil. I take a probiotic, which is a big part of the GAPS diet. You have to replace the bad junk in your gut with the healthy bacteria in probiotics. It's hard to pick from all the various types, but I've heard it's best to find one that's very potent and has a lot of different bacterial strains. I take a few different vitamin supplements, but I'm planning to stop as I continue eating a healthier diet. , I'm so glad you're feeling great! I've had a couple of bad days too, and I've been afraid that I'll lose the gains I've made. So far, though, it's only happened a couple of times, and only in extreme circumstances. I was " tested " after about a month on the diet, when I spent an evening with a friend who had a severe cold. She coughed and cleared her throat every 5 seconds for HOURS. It was rough, but I handled it, and I would have normally had a much harder time. I really notice a difference in my ability to ignore background noise. Acute situations (someone popping their gum in my ear) still bug me, though not as much. Let's keep talking about this--I'm really hopeful that this could be a big breakthrough, at least for some of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 11, 2009 Report Share Posted April 11, 2009 I'm looking for a good probiotic too--the GAPS people sell one that's way too expensive, but I've heard there are other good ones. I need to investigate a little more, but in the meantime I've been using Primadophilus, which is also good for kids. It sounds like you've had an interesting time lately, ! It's tough when you have a little one, plus everything else to do. My kids are 8 and 5, though, and I still feel like the house cannot ever ever be clean. It's not physically possible, and I get really overwhelmed too. I wonder if you cut out all the starches and grains (even rice, potatoes, corn, etc), if you'd feel even better? The GAPS book explains why the gluten-free diet doesn't always work. It's good, but it doesn't quite go far enough to setting your tummy straight. > > Yeah, I had another bad morning after feeling GREAT again.
