Topic: RE: Non-Dairy Suggestions

Just an FYI, if you eat low carb then you could test negative for Celiac. When I lived in NJ, the gastroenterologist that I went to told me this. She said she would go into the small bowel where many gastro do not go -- I think she was referring to how far she would go, it was years ago so I don't recall her exact words. Anyway, she said she would send it to a special lab to be analyzed (again I forget her exact words). They found some celiac sprue, and that gastro said it made it appear that I was either coming into or going out of Celiac -- I know that doesn't make sense but that is how she expressed it to me. It was because of the Paleo Diet that I follow that there weren't many Celiac sprue, and at that they were apparently hard to find. 

I hope this is helpful.

Topic: RE: Non-Dairy Suggestions

Thank you. It makes sense to mix up the probiotics. Thanks for sharing that piece of the doctor's advice. I need to see another gastroenterologist. I have many of the symptoms of SIBO, and even if that is not my issue, SOMETHING is. 

Here is an article on SIBO for anyone who may want to learn more http://chriskresser.com/sibo-what-causes-it-and-why-its-so-h ard-to-treat/

Topic: Can't stop binge eating (pre op)

I'm only a few weeks into my first month of six of my supervised diet. I have lost 12.4 lbs so far. I noticed last week I started to binge eat again. I find myself knit picking at things each time I go near the kitchen. They are healthy things, but its still binge eating. I don't go over my 1500 calories and I still count everything I put in my mouth and log it in MyFitnessPal. 

My worry is, what if I gain all that 12 lbs back before my second weigh in, in a couple weeks. and I would have to start all over again. Everytime I say i'm going to get back on track with my diet I binge again. 

Anyone else done this who is also a binge eater?

insure nutrition

 - please be aware that there are a lot of scam companies that provide "free proteins drinks" as long as your insurance pays for some other products i.e. very expensive "scar cream".. these companies scammed a lot of insurance for a lot of money... and if they could prove you in anyway benefited from the scam - you may be on-line to repay some of the money...

Topic: RE: Hard Boiled eggs or egg sald?

I have better luck with egg salad than just plain eggs. I guess because it's more moist? I LOVE egg salad! Eggs are a good source of protein but the previous reply is correct, they can be difficult early on. But like I mentioned, I can handle egg salad much better than a plain ol' egg.

What I do is go to coupon sites like Klip2Save and buy $4 off 4 packs of Premier Protein coupons. It saves me an insane amount of money! Also, if you're insured you can check into InsureNutrition.com. Not all insurances will cover it but it can't hurt to try!

I think you are right. But whenever I get some reviews from people about its health benefits then I get really confused. I have been drinking Noni Juice for about three weeks. I somewhat feel little energetic. Other than that I don't think I have received any other benefit.

it is a fad,that is all. If it worked the miracles ppl say it did,none of would be sick and/ or needing Wls. 

Pit is likely the sugar in the juice that is making you feel energized. Bet the energy doesn't last long,does it?,then you crash.
