I agree Dottie-more anti hyster. in this group than I had expected as

well...I just wish more women that have had wonderful success with their

option would know of this site. I really do speak to many out there now

that are so glad they chose the hyster. way-they are alive, vibrant,

happy, sexually functioning ladies..

Hi - I had an ablation nearly two years ago for AFlutter. I, like you,

was scared of the procedure but it did get rid of my AFlutter asnd I'm glad I

did it. My ablation took about three hours (done in the early AM) and I spent

the afternoon recovering from the mild anesthetic I had been given. I then

went home and by the next day I felt okay but I did take another day to rest

before returning to my normal activities (as advised by my doctor). The

procedure didn't hurt and I was never in pain after it was over. Of course, I

am only one person and this is only one story about one ablation. I'm sure

you'll hear from others.

Jenni,

Trudy did a good job of listing the common ones, and beyond that you just

have to keep a record of what you ate, drank, or did before an afib episode.

Patterns will begin to emerge, and you will discover your own individual

triggers. Because everyone is different, I don't think the list of triggers

will be exactly the same for two people. Sometimes even certain postures can

trigger afib for me, such as bending over or slouching. However, although

many are bothered by lying on the left side, that doesn't seem to be a

trigger for me. That's an example of the differences. Good luck in finding

your own individual triggers.

Hi Jenni - I recently gave the same advice about triggers to another support

group member. Keep a diary with notes about foods, medicines, weather, stress

levels, activities, etc. . This will help you identify the triggers. My

doctors appreciated the information I gathered and the input I had about my

body and my heart during our consultations. Consequently I have a pretty good

idea about my own personal triggers. I believe I have gained some control

over my life and my AFib condition.

As I said earlier, keeping a diary can't hurt you and it will give you

something to do while you wait to go back into NSR.

The way I learnt to find my triggers was to eliminate all processed food,

sauces, soups etc. This would include hotel and restaraunt food, take aways

etc. From this I can say that my triggers are only refined or processed

foods. I can eat anything I want so long as it is free of preservatives,

additives, flavour enhancers, sweeteners. Sugar (even brown sugar) falls

into the catagory of refined. So do a lot of honeys. If I eat food the way

it is meant to be, the way it is grown its causes me no AF, but if I add a

bit of sauce, or jam, or juice I am off.

Hope that helps you a bit

Aggie,

Her doctor is appealing the decision by the Insurance company. It is a Workers Comp case, and the workers comp insurance for Wal Mart is the one that is denying the surgery. She fell three years ago and has been fighting with them every since.

My grandson will be going to Mississippi after he leaves boot-camp. We made our reservations tonight for a motel. Will be staying at the Motel 6 South, arriving on the 14th & leaving on the 18th unless my daughter changes her mind about staying Saturday night. We all have to go to some sort of Orientation on the 15th to be able to get onto the base. I've never heard of anything like that before......but things have sure changed since 9/11.

that was a good guess Melody, but dont think you have talked to Kay lately, as of this afternoon she told me different?? And I think we will all be surprised who it is. Some one who will really make people stand up and take notice I am sure. And they wont find out unless they go to the workshop. I hope to meet you there this time, I did miss you at SRD in Waco. And Janet has told me some good things. anyway if you think you know about the workshop lets keep them guessing.

Welcome JJ!!

This is a group for anyone dealing with Celiac...parents of children, people who have it, grandparents, friends, etc.... Anyone who wants to know more basically.

How old are your children? I would say that if they are old enough to "understand" the blood draw end of it, even if they aren't showing symptoms, it would be good to have them tested. Many never show any signs and still have it. You never know. However, my son is 21/2 and just diagnosed and I hvae to say that if it were me that had it, and he showed no signs, I would wait. The blood draw was way too traumatic and impossible to explain to a child that young.

Hi everyone,

I "discovered" SillyYaks yesterday. It looks to be for parents of Celiac children. I am a mom with Celiac disease and am worried about my children having it. When should I get them tested? Should I wait until symtoms become evident? Also, I just moved to Manchester, New Hampshire, does anyone know of support groups in the area? I am very happy to be part of a "group". Thank you!

A 'trick' that I used with my grandchildren for foods that they did not want to

try.  Take one bite for however many years old you are. It seems to have

worked as they are all now adventurous eaters.

I like Ellen's books. I personally have a daughter with food intolerances on top

of being picky. The approach I take is here is dinner, eat what you want but you

have to at least taste everything. Then I make cookies, breads, and smoothies

that are fortied for snacks. So I sneak in her nutrition. She is 9 now and helps

me bake. So she knows what is in her cookies but she still eats them and truly

enjoys them. Her tastes have changed over the years. When she was young she

actually ate veggies.  Now she only tastes them because she is required to.

But honestly, she has acquired a taste for some of them because she had to keep

trying them. Of course they were made a million different ways. She likes

carrots best in carrot cake. I fortify the recipe and cut down on the fat and

sugar in it. She thinks that is how all baked goods are supposed to be made. And

that is how she is learning to bake as well.

 

I guess what I am saying is make balanced dinners and have them taste

everything. Then sneak in the nutrition in what you know they will eat. It is

like when Katarina was a baby, I just figured she was learning to eat. So it was

ok that she just wore her dinner because her true nutrition was coming from her

formula. The same is true now. Your son is exploring and pushing your buttons

too. Stop letting him. As some one else stated, meal time is for communication.

I also found that when my daughter was part of the preparation process she ate

more too. Now she makes her own personalized pizzas, warms left overs, and makes

sandwiches in the microwave. There is just the 2 of us so the trick for me is

to keep ENOUGH healthy food made and I limit the junk food that is even in the

house. She eats pretty good, even though she rarely eats a lot of " regular "

veggies. And she likes the fact that I made them taste good by adding them to

her snacks.  Also make sure

you are eating your veggies. They do look at what you eat. On a trip from MI to

TN, I had a bag of baby carrots I was snacking on next to me on the seat.

When she thought I was not looking, she was " stealing " my carrots.  Taste

change as children grow up. Carrots were one of her favorite baby foods. She

also loved tomatoes straight from the plant. I had to make sure she did not

eat more then the tomatoes. She did the same thing with broccoli. No one else

got any broccoli when she was a baby. She ate them off the plant. She watched

mom picking vegetables from the garden and she ate what I was picking. Yes, I

let a toddler help me in the garden. I lost a lot of plants, BUT she

learned how to garden too. In TN she used to have her own garden tools

(hoe, rake, shovel, etc....) so she worked along side me. I think that is what

I miss most about TN, our yard with my vegetable and rose gardens.

Hello!

While I have nothing really against making baked goods, etc with a variety of

ingredients (ie-zucchini in muffins, carrot shreds, etc) I'm not a particular

fan of " sneaking " anything past anyone. And again, if we are catering to what

they will eat, we are in fact, catering to what they will eat and I know that's

not the goal. Our job is to serve a variety of foods, including " controlled

substances " (like chips and cookies) to help them learn to manage these things

once they are out in the world, beyond our serving control. Have you ever been

with a child who has not seen a potato chip served in their home? Feeding

frenzy, hand over fist, like they've never had anything so great.

Once we are insisting on taking any bites of anything or putting rules on our

kid's eating behaviors, we are crossing the line of the division of

responsibility. Ellyn's concepts or the trust model is a good one with solid

research backing it, but it's not one we can " sort of " follow. Either we do or

we don't. The more I personally read thru her materials (and yes, I have them

all) and have had the priviledge of attending one of her final workshops this

past fall, the more I get it. I have struggled with some of the concepts as it's

not the way we are taught in our schooling, but it works.

We need to keep all our " jobs " at the table clear: parents determine the what,

when and where of feeding, the child determines the how much and whether. I know

it sounds too simplistic, but as you become more comfortable with it and read

the materials, its simplicity truly is its beauty.

See her site: www.ellynsatter.com.

Happy feeding!

A number of years ago, a pilot study was done on the gluten content of the

major sources of oats. They found that ALL of them had at least some

contamination with wheat, even the ones that were considered gluten free.

Personally, I leave it up to the individual about whether to include oats in

their diet. Neither my daughter or I tolerate them.
