Guest guest Posted October 13, 2000 Report Share Posted October 13, 2000 Luann(Ty's mom) Hi thanks for welcoming me. I live in NJ now but I used to live in Phila. I love it here and I think it has something to do with my health overall. Since I have moved I have had no flare ups of the colitis and my LFT's have been normal for two years. But it seems that I am always afraid of what is lurking(the groups favorite word). How long has your son been diagnosed and how is he? I am glad that I have found this group it is great! It has given me a better outlook and already has taught me that things aren't so bad, it could be worse. Write soon, and thank you AMY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my son off milk once for 1 week. I gave him milk back and it didn`t seem to effect him for several days, then he started having meltdowns and screaming fits constantly. I took him back off the milk, but even after more than 1 week, he was still having these rages and meltdowns. (The first time off of the milk, he didn`t rage or meltdown). What do you make of this? Do you think it could be the milk? I still have not given him milk because I am afraid it is not out of his system yet. Appreciate any insights. He has been wearing dh and I out.

(You sure are one of my " frequent sales referral " friends!) I don't know what I'd do without a back up machine.

I won a 5200 at a sales meeting so I sent my 5000 in right away. Now my 5200 has " issues " with the variable speed control (I'm sure it is just a screw that needs tightening) it is also a " little bit " jumpy between variable speeds 1 and 4, but I've lent out my 5000, so I haven't sent in my 5200 for repairs. NOW, the company has asked us to take a demo machine from show to show to show (instead of demonstrating a new machine every show) so I'll have that machine as a back up, and I " m sending in my stainless 5200 for repairs to the variable speed control.

This is exactly what happened in my case, although I do not know whether the variable speed was working or not, as, unlike you, I didn't have the courage to re-try the machine before speaking with Customer Service! When I did speak with them, the Rep stated that I would need a tool to put the container together again, as I would be unable to tighten it enough by hand. Perhaps this is what is wrong in your case. You are unable to tighten the blades to the container tight enough for the " threads " to properly grab into the machine, maybe??

One has his wife using it a lot for smoothies. Another has her husband use it just for protein shakes as a " blender " We had an old 1960's 2000 machine for a week or so but no one really used it. I asked her if I bought one for work if she's make soup. (Too much prep work for her...) I was soo excited last night as the woman at the checkout at Trader Joe's wants one. I told her I bought sweet potatoes for a smoothie.... . I tried it this am and it is getting better. A little jumpy as you say from speeds 1-4 so I'll let it dry out a few more days and see. Too bad Vitamix didn't have a swap (cross ship) program 1. I call cust service to get machine repaired. 2. They send tag for me to ship it. 3. They bill my credit card for $450 (or whatever) for a demo machine. 4. When I receive demo machine I ship broken one back 5. Whe broken one is repaired and received 6. Ship demo machine back 7. Company receves demo back and refunds the $450 demo loaner fee I think you should suggest this to them. Tony [ ] : Yogurt Date: Thursday, January 26, 2012, 6:03 AM I would like to have the information, ; thanks!     While Kefir is one of the more healthy styles of yogurt, I found a type of yogurt that you can make right on your countertop with no heating or any effort at all. I bought a starter 4 years ago and have been making it ever since. I have it in my morning smoothie every day and have only been sick once (short cold) since I started eating it. The probiotics may not be as high as they are in kefir, but its still good and its easy, easy, easy! If anyone is interested, I can give you more information. ~katie Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (36) 3.7.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Just know that when you feed cats fish (canned) it is missing the right quantity of Taurine (an essential amino acid to them) and not to do it often, unless you buy supplementary taurine to give them. Fresh fish is not good for them per reading I have done over some 30 years of owning cats. We have a cat who will only eat raw, so to ensure she gets all the nutrients she needs, husband uses a complete vitamin powder which he cuts slits and stuffs inside of her daily chicken leg. She likes the vitamins so much she will lick it off his gloves yet totally refuses to chew a chewable tablet of the same brand. Funny girl she is.

One has his wife using it a lot for smoothies. Another has her husband use it just for protein shakes as a "blender" We had an old 1960's 2000 machine for a week or so but no one really used it. I asked her if I bought one for work if she's make soup. (Too much prep work for her...) I was soo excited last night as the woman at the checkout at Trader Joe's wants one. I told her I bought sweet potatoes for a smoothie.... . I tried it this am and it is getting better. A little jumpy as you say from speeds 1-4 so I'll let it dry out a few more days and see. Too bad Vitamix didn't have a swap (cross ship) program 1. I call cust service to get machine repaired. 2. They send tag for me to ship it. 3. They bill my credit card for $450 (or whatever) for a demo machine. 4. When I receive demo machine I ship broken one back 5. Whe broken one is repaired and received 6. Ship demo machine back 7.

Tony [ ] : Yogurt @ groups. com Date: Thursday, January 26, 2012, 6:03 AM I would like to have the information, ; thanks!     While Kefir is one of the more healthy styles of yogurt, I found a type of yogurt that you can make right on your countertop with no heating or any effort at all. I bought a starter 4 years ago and have been making it ever since. I have it in my morning smoothie every day and have only been sick once (short cold) since I started eating it. The probiotics may not be as high as they are in kefir, but its still good and its easy, easy, easy! If anyone is interested, I can give you more information. ~katie Back to top Reply to sender | Reply to group | Reply via web post Messages in this topic (36) 3.7.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 I have a favor to ask everybody. When you reply to messages, could you delete all the other messages except the one you are replying to? Some of them get really long and, at least the way my e-mail software does it, it puts all the e-mails with same subject together. So I end up scrolling, scrolling, scrolling and it is difficult to sometimes find the new messages attached (I hope that makes sense). This is especially true with digest messages which are hugely long! Thanks so much!RenaIf God brings you to it, He will bring you through it. Happy moments, praise God. Difficult moments, seek God. Quiet moments, worship God. Painful moments, trust God. Every moment, thank God.

Posted by: " Lea Ann Savage " lsavage@...  agapemom123 Thu Jan 26, 2012 3:01 am (PST) You will be the hero at the office (if you share :-) How many people from work have you convinced to buy a Vitamix machine? (You sure are one of my " frequent sales referral " friends!) I don't know what I'd do without a back up machine. My first machine (a 5000) had " issues " with the variable speed control (it was getting " jumpy " ) but I kept putting off sending it in for repairs because I couldn't imagine even one day without it. I won a 5200 at a sales meeting so I sent my 5000 in right away. Now my 5200 has " issues " with the variable speed control (I'm sure it is just a screw that needs tightening) it is also a " little bit " jumpy between variable speeds 1 and 4, but I've lent out my 5000, so I haven't sent in my 5200 for repairs. NOW, the company has asked us to take a demo machine from show to show to show (instead of demonstrating a new machine every show) so I'll have that machine as a back up, and I " m sending in my stainless 5200 for repairs to the variable speed control. So sorry this happened Tony - I look forward to hearing that as it dries, all of its features are working again (fingers crossed), but even if that happens, I'd still send it in for a good check up / clean out.

Guest guest Posted January 26, 2012 Report Share Posted January 26, 2012 Thanks Lea Ann - that was just what I was looking for. I don't know about GAPS, but I've read enough about probiotics to make me a strong believe in it. Regards, Amy Lea Ann wrote: Here is the post you were referring to: http://health. groups.. com/group/ VitamixEnthusias ts/message/ 20708 Keep in mind that my diet is always evolving as I learn new things. SO FAR (and I'm not saying it won't evolve again - I'd still love to eat less meat) this is the diet that I feel best on. IF I ever get my act together enough to do the full GAPS protocol, perhaps I'll heal my gut enough that I can eat a more varied diet. On GAPS probiotic supplements are a huge part of the healing process. Their is often a huge herxheimer reaction to the supplements and they say that people with chronic fatigue often can only take a small part of a probiotic pill per day. I fit that description 100%. I can only stick my tongue in the powder and get the tiniest little bit and I still can feel a reaction. It takes me about 5 days to finish one pill! I'd like to heal my gut enough that I could take the full doses (several capsules) of the BioKult (the probiotic she likes) per day. That seems like a pretty far-off goal. This is a LONG (and not will organized FAQ) but for anyone interested in GAPS, this (I think) is the best way to learn a lot about it. It took me about 2 days of reading to get to the end of the page! http://gapsdiet. com/FAQs. html Here is another GAPS FAQ (that I haven't read yet, so can't comment on the quality of the information) http://www.gaps. me/preview/ ?page_id= 32 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
