Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Don't you just hate that when you go to the dr's!! I know, it happened to me the other day when I was at the dr's. I've always been petite and I hate getting weighed at the dr's. I swear last time the nurse looked at me and said " You need to start eating. " Then she laughed! She must've thought that I was starving myself. Before I got sick, I would eat whatever I wanted and a lot of it but couldn't gain any extra weight. I could eat junk food all day and still not gain a pound! > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out AOL's list > of 2007's > > > > >hottest > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007?

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I have a GI doctor too. I was diagnosed with IBS so when I have a flare and can't eat anything it's completely frustrating! Even now I'm worried that my eating habits haven't been that good because I wasn't feeling well. Tomorrow I'll make up for it! Don't you hate that people would just assume that you were anorexic? I could never gain any extra weight. I'm also only 5'2 too. It just makes me mad because if someone were overweight I wouldn't try to judge them. People have always said to me " You're too skinny " or " You need to eat more. " I would just smile and be thinking in my head " I eat all of the time so leave me alone!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stephie, The good news is that IBS should be a thing of the past once your body has a chance to detox and do it's repair work. Think of your new eating plan as a lifetime program . . . You're not likely to notice the difference (unless it getting rid of sugar) on a daily basis. Think of it as bringing in quality building materials for your (body) remodeling project. Hugs, Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Stephie, I was diagnosed with IBS too which means that docs really don't know what's wrong with your digestion system or how to treat it. Yes, it's irritable bowel and the cause is candida, mold, fungus or parasites. Most western docs don't believe in candida though and so that's why so many people suffer without cure. Make sure you're staying away from sugar completely and possibly dairy and wheat. Often those with candida overgrowth in the gut also have a gluten/wheat sensitivity and are lactose intolerant. You can be tested or keep a food diary to watch for symptoms. It's rough but with proper diet the IBS symptoms lessen. When I cheat, I pay for it!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Steph- Me too! Every time I go to the doctor's office, I get the same thing from the nurses!!! I used to eat whatever I wanted and I would not gain a pound! Okay, that is still the case, but now I really watch what I put in my mouth. I weigh the exact same thing as I did in high school!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Amazing, it's the same way with me. I was talking to this nurse one time about how frustrated I am that people ALWAYS make comments to me. And, she said to me " I think that is really rude of people, it's like telling someone right to their face " you are overweight, you need to stop eating so much. " " Really, that's how it feels to me! It hurts my feelings because there is nothing I can do about it, we're built how we're built, period. Also, I have IBS BAD! Have you tried ginger or peppermint for your IBS? That seems to help mine a lot. It used to be that I couldn't even go out to eat, I'd get the big D. Now, I take a peppermint and ginger everyday and it really helps. Although lately, everything seems to be going through me again. Perhaps, it is the fungal issues? ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out AOL's > list > > > of 2007's > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products- > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 No I haven't tried any of those but thanks for the tip. Which one works better for you? It may be a fungal issue. I'm on diflucan that my dr prescribed me which is an anti-fungal. Are you taking anything for the fungas? That could be what's causing yours aches and pains. That's a major symptom of candida. When the implants were removed, it may have stir up what toxins/fungus that was in your body. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out AOL's > > list > > > > of 2007's > > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot- products- > > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Steph- I take one peppermint and one ginger vitamin a day. Then, if my tummy gets upset, I drink peppermint tea which helps to calm it down. I keep a box of peppermint tea at work, just in case. Celestial Seasonings makes a special tummy tea which is peppermint. Yeah, I just purchased some caprylic acid, which the group recommends too for the fungal issues. So, I'm going to start on that to address the fungal issues. Wouldn't surprise me a bit if that was my problem. Also, did you know one of my salines ruptured in the spring? That's when all of my problems began, I'm sure I am loaded with crap from the rupture. ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out > AOL's > > > list > > > > > of 2007's > > > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot- > products- > > > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Hi Krist and Stephie, I ALWAYS got the comments too, so much that I think it made me overly aware/self-conscious of my body. In hindsight, they were compliments, but I hated that whenever I'd meet someone they'd comment and I didn't take it positive. Like you said, saying " Oh my gosh you're soooo tiny! " when you first meet someone is like saying, " Oh my gosh you're sooo huge! " I think that's part of the reason I got implants...not the whole reason but it definitely contributed. Krista, Peppermint is great for IBS if it's peppermint oil or tea. If it's the candy, don't do it because the sugar will feed the fungus. - PH > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out AOL's > > list > > > > of 2007's > > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot- products- > > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 PH- Yep, I get the SAME comments when I meet someone new. Of course, going with a petite/small body comes NO BOOBS, which is the reason I'm sure all three of us got the implants. I wanted to feel more like a woman, instead of a little girl. But, I don't care anymore! My hubby loves me and that's all that matters. Yes, it is the peppermint oil vitamin that I take, and the peppermint tea. No sugar for me! ~Krista > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out > AOL's > > > list > > > > > of 2007's > > > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot- > products- > > > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Krista, Yeah, I understand COMPLETELY! I used to get comments from women like " I want your body from the chest down. " ...is that a back-handed compliment or what? Who would say that??!! Guys would often comment on my a** but never the rest of me and as a result I became even more self-conscious. It's sad that women are made to feel like parts instead of a whole person. I don't care that I'm flat anymore. I like my itty bitties! I just want to feel well. Maybe that's my lesson in all this...that I was perfect the way God made me. My husband loves me no matter what. He even encouraged me not to get implants but I was stubborn. We both enjoyed them plenty but they were pretty fake looking...hard to make them look natural on a little girl's body! - PH > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Krista ~ > > > > > > > > > > > Are you taking magnesium with calcium and D? > > > > > > > > > > > If so, how much? > > > > > > > > > > > Hugs Dede > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > **************************************Check out > > AOL's > > > > list > > > > > > of 2007's > > > > > > > > > >hottest > > > > > > > > > > > products. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >(<http://money.aol.com/special/hot-products-2007? > > > > > NCID=aoltop00030000000001>http://money.aol.com/special/hot- > > products- > > > > > 2007?NCID=aoltop00030000000001) > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I love Whole Foods Granola type cereals . . . Two of my favorites have coconut and vanilla in the name. . . Yummy whole grains! If you have a Trader Joe's nearby, they have wonderful cream cheese made from goats milk. They have a lot of wonderful juices . . . One favorite is Organic 365 Apple juice!

Guest guest Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 Stephie,Dr. Rubin, who wrote The Maker's Diet, developed the Garden of Life line of vitamins. . . I haven't tried all of their products, but all the ones I've used - ASIDE FROM FUCOTHIN - are excellent. Do shop carefully online. . . You can save up to 40% off retail (i.e. Whole Food) prices.Again . . . know whether or not you are sensitive to silicone dioxide before ordering them.
