    Craving Sweets...Need help/suggestions

    I have a Friend that is a nutritionist. She says that in the long run, craving sweets means you need protein. She has me eat medjool dates. When you get good ones they are soft and very satisfying, she said that they have a lot of minerals and Iron and fiber. I can usually eat only one, honestly. Not bad for a goodie. Then she said to load up on red meet. to buy myself an excellent cut of red beef like a fillet minion. broil it and eat it rare. Yummy. I also get good salmon here and the next day I eat that. I eat protein almost exclusively for a couple of days and I am really surprised! She also told me that if I crave salty things, I need minerals. If I crave chocolate, I need vitamin e. If I crave meat, I need b complex. I thought that one was weird but she has been proved right on for me. I understand something about acidophilus complex in the gut that react to red beef and it produces b complex. Its what she said! I really don't know if this is mumbo jumbo but I have managed to do better understanding this. Oh yeah she reminded me about Candida. Its a real sugar hog and a real downer after you use antibiotics. After you eat sweets if you get a real drowsy feeling:notagree then its likely you have a Candida overrun. If you crave carbohydrates, the refined kind, cookies, cake, bagels and chips etc you might have Candida also. So the last craving, the one for carbs could mean Candida overrun. She makes me go to the naturpath for a cleanse and gut rebuild for that one. Oh yea, the reason for the drowsiness :bored is that the Candida takes the sugar and makes alcohol!! If there is anyone that can give clarity or 'debunkness' to all this I would really like to know the real thing. I love my friend and all, I will still follow her advice its proven right by me but it would be nice to get verification of sorts. I feel silly if I'm passing out" just enough information to be dangerous!":nervous :guess She also said.. If I get angry to frequently and my moods are out of controll, I could have too much gluten. If you ask my kids, I must be gluten intollerent!!!:angry :cry:p

    Whiskers On Kittens

    I like the Funniest Home Videos Show, there was a cat that was talking. He said "Looong Jooonssooonn, Soo long Johnson, Loooong llooong Jooohnson" in a raspy low voice.. My son imitates it just to make me laugh and It is really funny to me. Crazy cat!

    Art work and their artists

    Dearest Bermy, How very precious your pictures are. In the evening concert the oldest child is so real, its as if I know her. I expect her to glance at me and realize that she had her fingers in her mouth, perhaps even biting her fingernail, and sense that she is being reminded not to and put both hands behind her back and smile. That I know smile, even with a little rotation or swing in her motion. I want to be there! So do you sell lithographs, or do only the originals ever get sold? You are wonderfully talented. Thank you for sharing!! BTW, I would only be staring at her precociousness verifying the music and all, and she seems very patient what a sweet heart.

    grundies in a bundle NSV

    I was sorting through Bras. Frustrated at the new 38 long size. I thought this really puts my grundies in a bundle feeling as these things are not cheep!! Why do men have less expensive undies anyway? So I looked at one of my old faves and thought, I wish that there were 3 inches taken right out of the center of this thing. well I tied a knot into the center and sort of pondered. then I put the darn thing on and I am not kidding you. It fit really nice!!!! Ive spent 3 weeks trying to find a comfy fitting one and haven't found a thing. Now I am telling you the TRUTH!! It fit and I wore it all day and I just cant believe it myself and it looks sort of like a bow style swimsuit top!! Who would have guessed. I know I'm strange an cheep, but I think Ill try this on a few more of my undies!:guess :confused: :omg:

    grundies in a bundle NSV

    Sorry dudes, k, The bra has a knot front and center and the whole bra looks like a bow and grundies are what guys call underwear. Grundies in a bundle is a reference to getting up tight, or bothered or picking up a grumpy attitude, irritated in some way. I kind of picture someone picking up their underwear and waddling them into a ball to throw at something! Or Someone!!

    I'm a little freaked

    Dear heart, when you said it was about a half a inch, with wet yellow center, this can be staff infection. and it grew so fast. Go to the ER. and Please get it looked at by a DR. Just earlier this year, my DH had a sore elbow. No bruise, one day later the Dr gave antibiotics, 2days later high fever and larger bump, 3 days later and ER, Lanced, drained, iv antibiotics. 4 days later, surgery to remove his Bursa's and about a 2 1/2 inch incision that had to be repacked daily for 3 months to heal from the inside out. He was in isolation for 10 days, IVs and very close monitoring of his temperature. They cultured it and found it to be a particular staff infection. Never a cut or poke to break the skin on his elbow, It just appeared deep inside. Do not mess around with this. There are some very virulent flesh eating bacteria. no joke, I'm not trying to terrify you, honest but please, please, get this looked at ASAP!

    a bat bit my daughter

    I'm sorry for the way I cut our earlier, my laptop crashed bad!!! But for your little sweetie, I'm praying that this will all fade from her memory and the only memory from this will be that something happened and my mom and dad took real good care of me. Bless her heart, so precious to articulate all the info, he scooted away, and he had ears and all. So observant and attention to all those details!! You have a very smart baby there!! Bless you too, hope you aren't too shaken, Its like a mom to be fully in charge and then when all the danger has passed, thats when mommies fall apart! Were here for you if that should happen too OK? Hope to hear soon!!

    a bat bit my daughter

    I bet you have alrealdy gone to the ER. I hope you can disassociate these shots from what happened with the "birdie". It would be sad if she became terrified of birds that happen to flly around her. Perhaps you can say that Its always a good idea to get a physical check up when you turn a certain age as a matter of good health or something like that. and This time it turned out to be her turn to get another vaccination or something like that. You know your daughter best. Some children are better off with a matter of fact, you have a suspicious cut and the bird may have caused it so we are going to check it out. Others need more creatilve explanations. OH oH my liptop is spazzing

    Funny, This isn't funny!! This sounds so serious... Please insist that they admit you for IV, antibiotics!!! How can you get those things down your swollen throat! I think that strep is one of those bugs that can eventually hurt other organs. How can they not admit you??? Ill keep you in my prayers. God bless you and your family~!

    what is your strategy?

    When you get the head hunger, even when it could be driven by partial body hunger, how do you keep from reaching for the wrong stuff? Do you just not buy it hand have it around the house? Or I heard one gal say that when she wants something sweet, she eats a piece of fruit first then afterwords, if she still wants it she will then have it but most of the time the head hunger passed. I need better coping mechanisms as having a family around it seems that there is always a "way" to find something inappropriate to eat. So who wants to go first? I don't seem to be doing very well about this right now. I was taken off several Rx's and Mr Dr. said I would probably gain about 10 lbs just because of the rebound from this and it of course came to pass. I am having a hard time staying motivated:paranoid :help:

    Permanent Makeup

    My friend had the eyeliner, and lipliner done. The artist was very good and the lines were great but the lipliner began to spread and the lines color changed over time and the color was too purple on the lips. The eyes were great all the time. Her lips had the problems. She pretended to not have a problem with it but no matter what, she would wear lipstick to cover the purple. I felt bad for her. She had it done when colors were very bright and vivid for the lips, not like now where the fashion colors are more basic tones. I think I would just do the eyes.

    Weird Dreams...

    When I was preggers, I had the most wild dreams of all times. One of them was that I could open my tummy and look at the baby and check out his progress and make sure he was growing OK. I could touch him and give him my love and all but he just couldn't come all the way out yet. OBTW, I dream in vivid colors and sometimes the colors are not correct, but absurd, thats a signal that a bad dream is coming so I can wake up. I don't like that, I want to see what the dream is but MY brain just doesn't want to see incorrect color and I wake up. I only know that they lead to bad dreams as when I am sick with a fever or dosed with meds of some kind and don't easily awaken, the dreams turn ugly.(story line I mean). I thought everyone dreamed in color, till I told my sis about the wrong color thing and she thought I was nuts. She said no one dreams in color, but I sure do. Does anyone else dream in color? Or am I just strange like that?

    Funnyduddies, Are you OK? I hope you are, I was hoping that you didn't have serum sickness. I had it once and I was caused by an antibiotic that I became allergic to. It makes you feel like you were hit by a truck and when you described that the body ached from top to bottom, that sounded a little too familiar. i also shook like crazy and my head felt like it was going to explode. I do hope you are better.
