    http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/07/25/delivery-risky-shortcuts_n_3653114.html The research disagrees with the statement "if people in the hospital saw a nurse or a doctor doing the wrong thing , it would be reported and taken care of". In particular: "Researchers surveyed more than 3,200 doctors, nurses and midwives on labor and delivery teams...

    Don't forget that earl grey is (almost universally) a caffeinated tea. Caffeine can cause diahhrea.

    You might look into "raw cheese" recipes. They're generally made from nuts.

    As was noted, nothing may have changed other than the lawyer's risk assessment. If you are particularly sensitive to shared lines, certainly be cautious. But realize that they may also still be perfectly safe.

    I mash up an avocado and use that instead of mayo in my tuna. Pretty tasty!
  6. tarnalberry
    Have you tried just tuna? Maybe it's the mayo you have a problem with?

    FWIW, I'm gluten-intolerant (I went gluten free prior to testing, which was inconclusive, so I'm not really diagnosable ), and my daughter doesn't appear to have a problem with cow milk. That said, I *do* have trouble with cow milk, and stayed completely dairy free during pregnancy and for many months afterwards, and then added small quantities of goat...

    I just can't eat too much of the stuff. (And now that I got a stomach virus after having made fake mac'n'cheese, I"m not sure I'll eat the stuff agian. )

    Three eggs and some beans (usually half a can). Rice cakes with peanut butter (or a sub - almond or sunflower seed, for instance). Millet grits with almond milk and ground flax seed. Smoothie with protein powder.

    Depends entirely on what is causing the headache. If it's blood sugar issues, neck tension, vascular issues... Any idea what's causing them?

    Happy birthday, Beautiful!

    I've had this as an asthma symptom.

    Mack, I know they're pricey, but I'd recommend investing in a few pairs of SmartWool socks. Yeah, yeah... you'll probably spend at least $50 getting a decent number of pairs (I buy them on outlet sale at REI, so they're cheaper. ) But they last a long time. I wear mine all the time (I only wear wool socks - I like them better), and I use them hiking and...

    It was based on the information that my doctor told me. And yes, she also mentioned that magnesium is important for managing vasospasm as it is required for vascular control. She suggested at least as much magnesium as calcium in my diet/day, if not more. BTW, it's not cold extremities that is Raynaud's, it's the vasospasm that pushes all the blood out...

    Oh, what's a little thread hijack? While there are meds you can take for it (nifedipine), but we're trying OTC methods at the moment - keep the nipples covered outside of nursing, apply warm compresses (oh, that's fun in the summer), avoid getting cold (I'm wearing socks most of the time now), ibuprofen when necessary, upping magnesium intake, and trying...

    I don't have Raynaud's, but have recently learned that the same sort of thing - vasospasm - can occur in the nipples of women who breastfeed. And I have it. It is NOT the autoimmune condition that Raynaud's is, but is thought to also be affected by an overactive sympathetic nervous system (something that acupuncture seems to be able to work on). A friend...

    If it's being caused by an iron deficiency that was itself caused by malabsorption due to celiac - sure, it could totally do that. I developed RLS well after going gluten (and dairy) free.

    I think you know the right thing to do - go smoke free and gluten free. You can't know what internal damage is being done, regardless of external symptoms. (Many celiacs are asymptomatic, and some studies, as mentioned, suggest that smoking may affect what symptoms you feel.) But you know that smoking isn't good for you, a growing baby, or your current...

    The creamers are gluten free. (Says so on the website.) They are also lactose free, but NOT dairy free - they contain sodium caseinate, which is a milk derivative. Are you lactose intolerant or casein intolerant?
  20. tarnalberry
    Whether it did or not at the time, Sensodyne has since then said that their toothpaste *is* gluten free. Old threads on gluten-free status are definitely not trustworthy.

    There are trace amounts of casein in butter. (Remember 0g on a nutrition label doesn't mean NONE. It means less than 0.5g per serving.) That said, some people who are casein intolerant do fine with moderate amounts of butter (I seem to, and I know I'm not the only one). It depends on how sensitive you are. (I'm assuming a 'standard' casein intolerance...

    If you haven't specifically worked with your doctors on this one, I would HIGHLY recommend it. You might start with a GP, but if you can self-refer, you might just start with a neurologist. It could be something as simple as crystals in the ear canal (they screw with balance/dizziness), but it might not be.

    Happy birthday and may God bless you today!

    I see you live in Bellevue, and I'm trying to send you a msg, but it isn't allowing me to do so. Would love to connect and find out if you know of a support group on the Eastside. Recently diagnosed and sad.

    Eggs can bother me depending on how they're cooked. Extra oil in the cooking... usually gets to me. (So, restaurant/diner cooked eggs, which tend to be greasy, do NOT sit well, but home cooked eggs which are cooked exactly the same way but on a non-stick skillet without oil are just fine.
