Hi again, thanks all :) Yep a healthy baby is all I want but GEEZ we have a lot of testosterone in our house LOL.

The boys are very excited.. Jacob (8) is always thinking up names for "our baby" LOL. He always wants to use his friends' names LOL, very cute. Otherwise they both can't wait to help ...

Hi all!!! long time no chat! Just wanted to stop by and make an announcement! Remember how we were trying to add to our family?? Well mission accomplished.... I'm due May 21 2007.

We had an ultrasound at 15 weeks and they told me that preliminarily it's a boy.. we'll see if we can confirm that ...

Hi Mary,

I just wanted to offer that you said your child is in 5th grade; well, I got my period in 6th, and I recall a girl who got it in 5th. Unfortunately she was the brunt of a LOT of horrible teasing, but I think the more boys know about stuff like this (the more they know the more "normal" it ...

Wayne,

I've actually bought an egg replacement, but I'm so lazy I never get the chance to use it LOL

Actually I"ve been oncall a lot which means I work 24/7 for 2 weeks straight. UGH! Anyway, back to the topic!

Christine

This bread has egg tho so I personally can't even try it
WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

so I wanted to mention that one I've found that is good is Ener-G Tapioca "Hamburger buns". They ROCK and you can use 'em for whatever you want.

I don't think I could ever go back, and even if I did now there's no telling if the damage done will even show or how long it would take, meanwhile I'm suffering in other areas and potentially doing irreversable damage to my colon. They randomly select the villi, so there is the chance ...

Hi Tex,

Jumping in late here, as usual..

I consider myself healed, having had mostly formed BMs and no regular gut pain since my liver detoxification diet followed by tolerance testing of a few foods; however, I still have issues with all complex sugars. I can ONLY tolerate a little pure cane ...

Hi u2,

I wanted to highlight something I read in one of Dr. Fine's articles/speeches. He'd stated that a test for Celiac would ONLY be positive if there was damage to the villi in the small intestine/duodenum. (while the point of his article is to say that this is NOT the only true indicator of GS ...

Ugh. My diet has always been irratic. When I was 17, I went from a stringent 5 egg and huge workout type diet to anorexia for awhile. That got me sick with Mono. After that my parents had to force me to eat.

From then on, if I didn't eat every 3 hours or so, I'd get really dizzy, nauseated, weak ...

Polly,

Thanks for posting this.. I'll try to see that movie ASAP - but I wanted to add to your post.

You mentioned that the glaciers reflect the sun and that water absorbs the heat - as I'm sure you can all guess, this heats the ocean. The delicate state of the coral reefs in our oceans is at risk ...

Jean and Katy,

While I agree that what we have is a medical condition with actual symptoms, what I translated the article to implying is that part of the reason we have many medical issues is that our emotional stress has taken a toll on our physical condition. Meaning, when we hold all of this ...

Hi Wayne,

NO problem :) it was late, I was frustrated w/work stuff and I probably worded it strangely LOL nothing new!!!!!! :)

Sally,

YES, you do have PTSD, IMHO. I have been raped as a teen, molested as a child, but I consider what my mother did to me (verbal/emotional abuse) to be the cause of ...

Hi again all,

I'm continuing my research and finding new things, and I have another poll for you.. Please read over the below article when you have time, and search within yourself to see if you can relate. I'm interested to know how many of us suffer from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Thanks ...

Mike,

MY GOSH I have this. I don't *constantly* feel like I have to have a BM, but almost! My legs hurt/cramp up, like they would if I were holding it a really long time, and otherwise, I get cramping/contractions in my colon and bowels as if I have to go but I only go about once a day now. I'm ...
