    There is also "benign positional vertigo", which is caused by crystals in the ear dislodging. A chiropractor can help, or anyone who knows the maneuver to help clear them (and you can learn to do it yourself). (You'll probably get a lot of "it could be this" sort of thing - good luck figuring out what YOUR answer is!)

    I just shrug and say "eh, not really", as though they were a little crazy to suggest it. Usually at least gives them pause.

    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...

    It's probably going to take her some time to adjust and figure these things out. If she's been going 10 times a day, she may not have built up the muscular control she needs just yet. I would encourage you to give her time, but also to practice. I know it sounds odd, but what helped my daughter most (though she didn't have these particular issues to work...

    Oh good! 'Cause I can't always tell after a long day. Maybe I'm more sensitive to the idea at the moment since I have a toddler/preschooler (3-yr old), and that teaches you SO much about yourself. My daughter can do things that "make me angry", but it's really my own choice to get angry about them. She can do things that "make me impatient...

    Magnesium can also work well. If you are impacted, though, you may need a bit of additional help?

    Eh, my guests all get gluten free food when they are here. Actually, though, people tend to look forward to it, because the food still always tastes good.

    One more reason everybody gets gluten free pancakes when I'm cooking, picky husband and less-picky toddler.

    I've been trying to figure out how to politely respond during the majority of my daughter's bedtime. I'm sort of at a loss. Your boyfriend is acting like an immature child. If he can't accept that something that makes him different is going to make him different, well... he needs to grow up. Don't get me wrong - I realize that isn't easy. But five...

    You seem to have an answer for everything, so I don't know that you'll listen to this, but no, you don't sleep well. And, all efforts aside, your BS'ing yourself if you think that your getting good quality sleep. Chronic sleep deprivation can occur even when you get a large enough quantity of sleep, if the quality is low. You've spoken nothing to the quality...

    Have you had a sleep study done? 9 hours of sleep is useless if it is poor quality sleep.

    The Cooks Illustrated cookbook on the science of cooking says to boil the cut potatoes in a pot of water with baking soda (I dot have the exact proportions right now). The acid starts dissolving the outer layer of potato, leading to a larger surface area to brown and crisp in the oven.

    I wonder if your docs aren't taking you seriously. I'd encourage taking pictures of the explosions and bringing them with you to the appointment.

    That's some crappy chocolate! Another reason to always stick with the good stuff.

    But you will miss out on micronutrients and various other healthy compounds in the foods. I'm not saying you have to eat grains - or legumes. Or even grain substitutes (like buckwheat). Or any complex carbs (though, if you're eating veggies, you're getting complex carbs.) But more variety on the produce you are eating will help too. Ditto with variety...

    Shop the outskirts of the store. Buy meats and cheese and eggs and beans and veggies and fruits. Skip all the packaged stuff and learn to make REALLY EASY stuff. Sautee chicken and have it with rice. Have a peach for dessert. Eat a carrot and dip it in hummus if you want. What sorts of foods do you already eat and what do you consider to be cooking...

    It's not impossible to get pregnant even while on birth control (including implants). So, if you have other symptoms, it is worth testing. (Your band size would be likely to increase if you were pregnant - rib cage circumference increase by a few centimeters when pregnant. But yes, I would put my money on the hormones. They do strange things, and their...

    Raw cookbooks have a number of sauce recipes that include dairy-free variations on dairy. You could look in raw recipes for some inspiration.

    Pasta salads. (I think they work better with fish or chicken, myself.) Grill meat, grill or roast veggies, place over pasta with storebought or homemade italian salad dressing. Yum!

    Having gone through therapy for a childhood that sounds at least as "bad" as yours, I'm going to side with karen here. Get past it. You're not past it if you're bringing it up. You're not past it if you're still using it as part of the "why I am this way" in a conversation. So it's a part of why you are they way you are - great, but it doesn't matter...

    Herbal tea. Chammomile is soothing. Mint might bother your GERD symptoms, so be cautious. I also like ginger tea with honey. Or just lemon and honey. You could try marshmallow root (not marshmallows!) for soothing the stomach. Red raspberry leaf is good too. There are soooooooo many herbal teas out there. I encourage you to find good sources of them...

    Why do you have numb arms? What's wrong with your sinuses? What are you doing about the stress? While I'm NOT going to say "it's all in your head", chronic stress can cause very, very real physical, biologically based symptoms. But all the diet changes and exercise in the world won't help much if you don't address the cause of the stress and your own...

    I wouldn't say it controls me - I like to cook, so I think it's cool to do this anyway. Also, I want to teach my daughter how to cook, what goes into her food, and how to eat a variety of foods in creative ways that will nourish her body. So, cooking it is!

    What does the GI think it is? She doesn't have gluten, she's great. She does, and she's sick. uh.... DUH!

    He's three months old. He's just spent the entire nine months of his life snuggled warmly in a wet, dimly-lit, noise-muffled environment with 24/7 food. He's going to want you (some kids aren't picky, but some are) more or less all the time. And that's normal. Biologically, he IS helpless, and doesn't understand that your living room is a safe place to...
