Re: OT: Yeast Elimination Diet/warning-female plumbing talk

[Guest guest]

I'm wondering about the " not peeing " thing. Am I just reading that wrong, or

is it a problem with water retention? Maybe it's your period.

Also, about the chocolate. I had the same experience. So very strange to

have a period where all of your patterns of 30 years are different! I used

to NEED chocolate, and I washed it down with beer and ibuprofen to kill the

pain (neither beer nor ibu's worked alone-honest!) Now, I feel these little

twinges that is what I guess everyone else has been calling cramps all these

years, and no food cravings or weight gain. Strange but wonderful. Oh, and

in the " too much information " category, much less flow.

Also, I had my now-usual " period migraine " with no pain. I can't really

explain it, but I got the usual aura, then felt tired and out of it, but no

headache. I've never heard of anyone like this. So, I just realized, first

time in 30 years using no painkiller during my period. Wow.

Marla Jo, please keep us informed. I'm so impressed that you've done this. I

look forward to hearing about how great you feel. It's coming!

~~~I'm sorry not peeing anymore I meant to say that the 18 glasses

of water compared to the 9 glasses that I was drinking the first 6

days.

~~~I love you!! LOL thanks for the laugh, that was me too!! My

husband would say how can you eat that and drink beer? I would tell

him that beer goes good with everything. Although, I quit drinking

a week or two before Thanksgiving. Boy, now that I type that my

body probably thinks it was kidnapped....

On another note: My mouth tastes like acid or something now and no

matter how hard I brush my tongue it comes right back..

Hmmm, acid taste, huh? Could that be ketosis? I know that people in ketosis

have horrible breath. I didn't have that, but I didn't do the whole yeast

elimination diet.

PS- and I promise this is the last off-topic chocolate item - I had a friend

who used to pour beer over chocolate cereal and eat it that way when she had

her period. I swear.

my tounge tasted like acid. LOL...Marla
