  1. Probably not. IF I had also lost some weight during those months... I'm sure I would have stuck to it. But it's not an easy diet to follow and when I didn't see results of any kind, I gave it up.
  2. I happened to stumble back onto this thread when doing a search on google. I'm amazed at how many people have this disease! Since my original post in 2007, I've been diagnosed with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis (Autoimmune Hypothyroidism). I'm sure that I had it for many years prior to being diagnosed since I've had many hypothyroid symptoms for years. The...
  3. Here is a new list: Purina to voluntarily withdraw Mighty Dog
  4. I need to get a senior ad (those ads they sell to parents for the back of the school yearbook) mailed in within the next couple days and I'm having a hard time coming up with something to write in it. Originally we were going to use the Winston Churchill quote "Success is a journey, not a destination." but I just really don't like it for my daughter. Today...
  5. Chris Richardson is one of my favorites, I like his voice. He seems like a genuinely nice kid as well. I have to agree the guys were boring last night. ZZZZ... Hope the girls are more entertaining.
  6. I agree it does have a aftertaste, I wouldn't say metallic, but definately not pleasant. It's a little strong for me (I'm used to a very light beer), but it's nice to be able to sit back and have a beer with friends.
  7. I think different anti-depressants work for different people. It does take a while to get used to them, I'd give it another week or two and then talk to your doctor about switching if the side effects are bothering you. I was on Paxil for about a year and for me it worked very well EXCEPT that I gained about 20 lbs. Also do NOT quit this cold turkey like...
  8. I've been gluten/wheat/dairy free for 2 weeks now and haven't seen any weight loss at all. Is this normal? My basic meals go something like this: B - gluten free cereal and soymilk or a couple scrambled eggs L - small green salad with cucumbers and celery with gluten-free dressing 2 regular sized gluten-free hotdogs with mustard (no buns...
  9. If you want the IGg blood tests, go with a different company than York (now Optimum Health Resource Labs). I ordered one of the 96 food panel blood tests (for $379) back in August and didn't get results until January. I probably wouldn't have them at all except I happened to call once and someone actually answered the phone (they don't reply to emails either...
  10. I thought the guys did great last night! I'm thinking Sanjaya might be leaving, Brandon might leave too just because he picked a slow and somewhat boring song. Looking forward to the girls tonight. Missed them last week. Vote for the Worst site is pushing votes for Sundance and Antonella. Unfortunately I do think those anti-AI people do make a difference...
  11. A lot of people who have a problem with gluten and wheat also have a problem with dairy. The cheese may be the culprit. Try the pulse test next time you have dairy. Pulse Testing: This method measures the pulse rate before and after eating a meal. If the pulse rises or varies more than 16 beats after the meal or any time during the next 24 hours in a...
  12. Emily, I have a lot of the same symptoms as you so I can relate. I've been having the constant headaches for over 5 months now (mine go away during the spring and summer usually), tried some meds but quit them due to side effects and have just started the gluten-free (plus wheat and dairy free) diet a week ago so I'm not seeing results as of yet. Hopefully...
  13. Chocolate can kill dogs, although I doubt your dog ate enough to do that. I found this: "Milk chocolate: 1 ounce per pound of body weight. Approximately one pound of milk chocolate is poisonous to a 20-pound dog; one-half pound for a 10-pound dog. The average chocolate bar contains 2 to 3 ounces of milk chocolate. It would take 2-3 candy bars to poison...
  14. Yes, you just need to use any carbonated drink. Let me know how yours turns out!
  15. I had high liver enzymes once but had taken a couple Tylenol about a half hour before the blood test. Acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol and other painkillers can really mess up the liver. Once I was off the Tylenol, my enzymes went back to normal.
