Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Thanks for the advice...I have gotten myself back under control for now and will try to remember the suggestions for my next " weak moment. " And I got my baby announcements completed and they will be mailed in the morning...and my daughter is only 9 weeks old! (Isn't it amazing how much we relax with the second child...I had my oldest daughter's announcements in the mail by the time she was 2 weeks old!) Well, I'm back on track, with 70 LL breaths with positions and another 10 while driving and working on the computer. I also chased kids at Vacation Bible School for 2 hours, so I feel sufficiently " exercised. " I plan to sleep like a...well, better than a baby tonight!

Guest guest Posted June 15, 2000 Report Share Posted June 15, 2000 Hi Libby, Thanks for the info. about combining a protein with a sugar to help eliminate sugar cravings. I'll have to try that. Have a good night or shalI say morning since it's almost 12:30 am here in Cinti.? Well whatever it is, have a good one.

Guest guest Posted September 24, 2004 Report Share Posted September 24, 2004 Hi folks, We're in our third week of treating my son's yeast condition, using Nystatin and Probiotics. At the same time, he has a host of food allergies, including gluten and casein, eggs, all dairy. Finding foods appropriate to both of these considerations hasn't been easy, as you could imagine. But I think it would be easier if I had a rule of thumb regarding sugar. Right now, he only gets a few grams a day--we mix his probiotic and calcium supplement with 2 or 3 ozs. of diluted pear juice twice a day. There a couple of grams of sugar in the GF rice chex he eats in the morning. Not much else. His DAN doc has told us no sugar, except for 2 small servings of fruit (we count the pear juice as that). We therefore have eliminated a bunch of foods--smoothies, coconut milk, almond milk, rice protein, among others--that would be beneficial and add variety to his diet, but that have sugar. Am I being to strict on the sugar? Bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 If the 1 cup per 4 quarts ratio has been working for you, adjusting the volume of the mixture while maintaining the ratio is just fine. I usually make about 4 quarts at a time (usually with about a cup of sugar, perhaps a little more) and then just split between my vessels based on how much fits. There's nothing to fix, you'll be just fine.

Guest guest Posted May 16, 2005 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 Actually, for the first batch I used 1 cup sugar for 3 quarts tea, not 4 quarts. This time it would end up being 3/4 cup for 3 quarts and I wasn't sure that was enough sugar. My first batch tasted fine, tho I have put it in plastic bottles for a couple of days before I put it in the glass bottles with ginger and refrigerate, so I don't consider it done yet. I was pretty offended by the smell, but had a bottle of plain GT Dave's and opened that and noticed that it smelled the same only mine was a bit stronger--probably cuz GT Dave's was cold. Interesting I had never noticed the smell before. YUK!! I think the taste was dead-on.... just slightly vinegar without the sweet. I'm pretty happy with it. It was a starter kit from the HappyHerbalist, so the tea mixture came with it....my next batches are the 3 teas. green, 2 teas. black and 1 teas. jasmine, a blend recommended by Len, I think. I only ended up with 2 quarts to bottle from my first batch, the rest was used for starter for 2 more batches.....and I'm experiementing with part of a tea batch and some plain GT Dave's in a jar to see if I get a baby from that. .....just for fun. *********** ******************** >From: " Si Thacker " <squee@...> >Reply-kombucha tea ><kombucha tea > >Subject: Re: sugar question >Date: Sun, 15 May 2005 23:48:09 -0700 > >If the 1 cup per 4 quarts ratio has been working for you, adjusting the >volume of the mixture while maintaining the ratio is just fine.
