    While it's certainly worth checking on celiac (I'd even just try the diet myself as testing that young is unreliable), but you might want to consider that all of those things are also simply signs of being over-tired. She may still need two naps, she may have trouble making it through the most active brain cycle during a nap and actually be waking up before...

    I would highly encourage you to work with a lactaction consultant if you think you *actually* have low supply. Honestly, the best thing to increase your supply is to nurse more often (assuming that baby has a good latch). The more you remove from the breast, the more it produces. If you are supplementing, you should at least be pumping as well, to provide...

    Have you had your thyroid tested? Your iron levels tested? Your B-vit levels tested? And your vit D levels tested? There are a number of things that could be in play.

    I think three years is probably around the time where you stop trying to fit in to the scene, realizing it's futile, and start trying to change the scene instead. Cook for other people, suggest the restaurants, or make suggestions for things to do that don't revolve around our national obsession over food food and more ***forsaken food. It's a rut that...

    I'm the only one in our house with gluten intolerance, and we're almost entirely gluten free. As far as I know, my daughter (2yrs old) does fine with wheat, and she occasionally shares in with daddy's non-gluten-free granola bars, and bread when he buys it from the store. But if she's going to be around me, she eats gluten free. Period. The odds of kids...

    Unless you are the only one in your company that does your job, and unless you have not been formally diagnosed, I would suggest talking to HR or legal in your company about how the ADA law applies in your case. And not from a "I'm going to sue you" perspective, but from a "reasonable allowances required by law", and work WITH them in figuring out a solution...

    You should also have your iron levels (free and stored), as low iron is correlated with restless leg.

    Wheat and dairy are two foods, out of every edible item out there. We just live in a culture that is over reliant on these two items. So, other things to ea that you have a good chance of finding in my pantry in the past six weeks Meats - chicken, beef, pork, fish, shellfish, egg Fruits - apples, oranges, peaches, apricots, grapes, berries, bananas...

    Edited: I was too harsh (frustration of trying to put a toddler down for a nap... /eye roll) Improved summary: even after 10 years, sometimes it sucks. Having to deal with the kid aspect makes it even more exhausting. It's nice to whine sometimes, and have someone hear you, but nothing fixes the problem until you figure out your own solution. And so,...

    I think it's a really personal decision. If you feel like you have a reasonable knowledge of nutrition, and food, then I'd skip it. If you feel that you would benefit from some information from a "professional", then by all means. Keep in mind that nutritionists vary WIDELY in their quality, and some may know next to nothing about a gluten free diet. ...

    Besides changing your workout patterns and your eating patterns, you may just be at a place that your body is happiest with. If you haven't changed how you're using your body in the past two or three months, though, I'd certainly try that. Also checking on your stress level, as cortisol can keep you hanging on to fat. (This is physical AND mental stress...

    It was so long ago, I don't remember. I don't think so, but I may not be remembering well either. I wouldn't know if it was "normal" before if it did change! We were lucky and got a hit on our first try. (First month, anyway.) No. I've been charting for ages, so I know when I ovulate, and we timed sex for that. If you aren't already...

    My husband, who is not a celiac, has had trouble with nosebleeds his whole life. It's not as bad as you describe, but some similarities. There is definitely a connect to dry air, and to transitioning from cold to warm. (Dry, fragile vessels suddenly getting a flood of warm blood can burst.) He suspects his is partially due to what he suspects was an accidentally...

    I would (and have, as this isn't a hypothetical situation for me at all) eat a good meal before hand, and go. Order a tasty, "treat yourself" beverage. (I never order beverages, but this is the time I'll pony up for a thai iced tea, or a raspberry lemonade, or a virgin daq if it's the right place ). Bring a snack for the ride home. And enjoy the company...

    Buy cheaper frames. (Sriously, you can get frames for $50 if you need to. No, they're not the greatest and nicest looking, but you won't actually be seeing them all that much since they are on your face! ) Reconsider if you actually need progressive lenses. Usually bifocals (which is what progressives are - bifocals that are blended) are for when...

    Dairy can be a hard one. I'd try some others. I've liked both hemp protein powder and pumpkin seed, but have also used rice (it's cheaper).

    While my daughter is only 21months, I think this is great advice! Whatever you choose to do, BE CONSISTENT!

    I've had that with migraines. I've also had it as "benign positional vertigo" where the small crystals in the inner ear get dislodged and literally bump around. Fortunately, my chiropractor knows the maneuver for helping work them out, and that helped tremendously.

    I agree with the over thinking. (Although it's clearly with the best of intentions!) If he's being verbally abusive, of course it's time to reconsider and/or leave. If he gets crabby and irritated, well, I guess he's human. Seriously, NONE of the women responding on this thread find themselves acting crabby/short/irritated during any part of their...

    You may find that your best bet is to find a midwife who is also a natropath. (There are some - one of mine was.) Celiac in and of itself shouldn't require any special treatment in pregnancy - stay gluten free, address any nutritional concerns (which would have to be investigated via blood test anyway.

    I don't know that I would worry about it. Bell peppers (raw, especially) give me gas. But I have no reason to suspect a problem. Some foods are prone to causing gas, without any trouble. What is YOUR gut feel?

    I also like the trader joes one, if you don't make your own.

    Dont know if anyone else watches it, but the most recent version of Royal Pains had an atypical presentation of Celiac, triggered by stress. It was a little light on relevant medical factoids, but nothing glaringly wrong. Better than the House presentation a couple years ago. (Sorry if this was already mentioned and I missed it. I don't get to be on the...

    Honestly, we don't eat much that could contain gluten. My daughter, not yet quite 2, eats what we eat - last night that was lentil soup. She had eggs this morning, but wasnt terribly interested in them, and ate more fruit (cherries and apple), than anything. She also had a piece of cheese. For lunch, we will have some leftover soup, maybe a rice cake (with...

    And migraines can be triggered by non-food things as well. Barometric pressure and poor cervical alignment are two for me. I couldn't shake mine until I had spent some time with my chiropractor.
