Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Connie: In answer to you cravings: see below what you partially sent. I left part of it hoping that this particular part of your message would not be deleted by CF Alliance. I personally think we need to leave part of the message so people will know what we are answering just in case they missed your posting. Just my opinion! I have dry mouth from Fibromyalgia & some of my medications. I have never tried the celery thing for dry mouth, but I don't see where any harm can be done. You're cutting them up & eating them like candy, so I would say you're doing something that is a whole better than eating CANDY!! Really, I have never heard of this, but I think I might try it. I love celery. Love ya, Lynn P.S. Since I am having to use Outlook Express instead of my Windows Office XP I do not know whether I have your e-mail address or not. I have been trying to write addresses down when I can. Outlook Express will not let me see your address. Anyway, if you would like I would be glad for you to send me your address direct. Thanks! Hi everyone...constantly eating celery...I cut it into 4 in pieces and put it in water.. it keeps it hydrated. then when I want to eat some, I cut those length into 1/2 in. chunks. eat them like candy.

Guest guest Posted August 28, 2004 Report Share Posted August 28, 2004 Hello again, Connie! My B/P is usually about 124/70, and that's excellent. 66 is only 4 pts. away, very similar to mine. If it was too low, you would be getting dizzy when you first stand up--hypotension. Yes, I crave foods, it's ice cream and fruit now. My appetite has gotten really strange. When I first had my bad flare, I just wasn't interested in food, nothing sounded good. I finally decided that graham crackers and chocolate chips sounded good, so I ate that, and not much else. I just can't get interested in regular food anymore--the fact that it has to be cooked and fussed with could have a lot to do with that. Except pancake mix is easy, I was on a pancake and fruit kick for awhile. It's almost like if I figure out something that appeals to me, I stick with it, so I won't have to try and figure out anything else that sounds good. Wishing You Well, Betty K.

Take care- good luck with= all your tests! Are you a vegetarian and that's why your B12 is low? Or is it low due to absorption issues? Hope you feel better!!!!
