Yeah for you!!!! You have alot of people pulling for you here!. If you do have a sinus infection, you may need some antibiotics. Maybe some Vit-C many help you feel better, but maybe that's an old wives tale. Until you tummy feels better stick to the basics.... Peanut butter and bananas or apples are really good. The BRAT diet can help settle your...

Lister: You need to do a food diary. Document everything that you eat. It will help you find the things that bother you. I know it may be a pain in the butt, but so helpful in many ways. How are you doing with everything else? Only asking, cause I care.

Her heart condition is very tenative...
