  1. Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

  2. I was at Walgreens last night picking up a prescription and wandered through the appliance section. Right now almost all of their appliances (toaster, small toaster oven, waffle iron, blender, mixer, small rice cooker, and a lot more!) are on sale for $6.99 each after a $3 mail-in rebate. I'll be the first to admit that these are probably not the best...
  3. I have a friend who has Crohn's disease (and I think celiac too, but she won't consider it) who is getting iron injections. Her doc said that they could either do IV or a series of 15 shots over the course of 3 days. I believe that she said that the IV would have been done every 4 weeks, but I'm not positive.
  4. I asked my OB about the dizziness last week when I went in for my normal appointment. She kind of laughed it off and said that it's just part of being pregnant! At that point it wasn't as bad as it had been, so I figured it was fine. Today has been REALLY bad. Every time I stand up (even slowly) I get dizzy. I decided that I needed some answers so...
  5. It's fall. People are baking... trying to perfect their recipes before the holidays. If possible, hide a stash of something yummy and gluten free that you can eat when you just can't stand it anymore. I recently found Glutino Vanilla Wafers - Chocolate covered. They taste wonderful! The box has 16 cookies, and each cookie has just 40 calories ...
  6. Damn... I was hoping to keep this quiet from hubby... no chance of that if I start seeing other docs I have never actually seen a specialist for an eating disorder. I overcame my anorexia with the help of a very caring boyfriend (who is now my hubby) and a couple of good friends. I generally hate having to see doctors, so I only go when it's something...
  7. Well, the snack apparently didn't help. And the bags next to my bed didn't wake me up. Last night before bed I made sure the sink and trash can were empty so it would be easy to tell if I was up in the night. Then I went to bed after hubby. When I got up this morning, there were candy wrappers in the trash and an ice-cream bowl in the sink (at least I...
  8. I'm going to play devil's advocate and defend your doc a little here... I'm assuming your doctor is at least 30 years old. Which means her sister is probably at least 20? If she was diagnosed at age 3, that was 17 years ago. Not very much was known about celiac then (at least not in the US). There has been a LOT of research just in the last 10 years. ...
  9. No drugs. The only non-food items that go into me are prenatal vitamins, sublingual B-12, and occassional Tylenol. I'm going to try eating a high-protein snack before bed tonight. I'll also try putting a few paper shopping bags on the floor next to my bed. If I step on them on my way out of bed, it might make enough noise to wake me up. That's what...
  10. Well, I think I know why I've been gaining so much weight. Please see my new post in the sleep forum Open Original Shared Link. Thanks for any suggestions on how to deal with this. Btw, I weighed myself at home this morning and I've gained another 3lbs since last Thursday. I've got my ultrasound tomorrow and I don't wanna go because I know they're...
  11. I had the strangest thing happen last night. I woke up at about 3am to find myself sitting at the kitchen table with the wrappers from more than a dozen Reese's Peanut Butter Cups (full size) in front of me. Apparently I was sleep walking (which I've done on and off since I was a toddler) and raided the Halloween candy. Luckily I had already separated...
  12. I got Kozy Shack Tapioca pudding at Target this morning! YUMMMY
  13. One of the teachers in my dd's school is collecting stuff to send to her son's unit in Iraq. She said that she has sent chocolate and other candy and not had a problem with it melting. I personally think this is the best use for it because it gives the guys (and gals) a great reminder of home. The kids are also making cards to send with the candy.
  14. This is me! In just 2 months I've brown-bagged it to a bridal shower, a wedding, a baby shower, a fall festival, and countless meetings for work where "lunch is provided".
  15. I have thought about getting a new doc. I ended up with this one because I was due for my yearly checkup a few months after I moved. I didn't know anyone well enough to ask who they went to, so I had my husband ask a few of the women he worked with. Two of the three recommended the same doctor so I called her office. She wasn't taking new patients, but...
