  1. Is it a recent switch? Sometimes it just takes your body a month or two and then your digestion adjusts and the gas ends.

     

    Nope. He grew up eating beans several times a week, and eggs for breakfast every morning. These are foods that have always made him that way. He's T1 diabetic, and and has a nephew that is T1 diabetic also. I keep wondering if it diabetes related. Or at least something genetic in his family. It's a theory anyways.

  2. Dh's stomach doesn't tolerate the foods that we're able to afford right now. Beans, eggs, cabbage.... it all gives him gas. The worst part is he is working in a lab, in a sterile enviroment and has to wear a plastic suit. he says there is no escape from himself. So he has asked me not to feed him those foods anymore.

     

    What's cheap, and gfcfsf, that I can cook this week and give his tummy a break? I've got about $50 to buy groceries with this week. I have grits, zucchini, powdered milk (for his coffee), gf flour blends, a can of broth.... um.... not a whole lot else.

  3. This was a silly thought I had at 5am this morning. My 6yo has a cold. He woke up and yelled, 'mama! I need a drink!' a couple beats later he yelled, 'Badly!' It made me think of the thread on here once about the death of adverbs, how no one uses them any more (like labels saying fresh baked bread). I thought, adverbs, they will live on through my children. :D

  4. Did she have it cauterized due to a nosebleed? If yes, no I would not let her blow it. What instructions did the doctor leave? Did he give any medications for the discomfort? If you can still call the office, I would do so. Actually, even if they were closed, I would leave a message with the answering service and request a call back. For the itchiness, maybe she can have benadryl or some other antihistamine but I wouldn't give it to her without medical guidance.

     

    It was for nosebleed. I just reread the paper they sent home and found where it says no blowing for 1-2 weeks, especially if a cauterization is performed. I missed it the first few times I read it. It doesn't say what to do for the itchiness. The instructions he gave us are more on nose bleeds in general than on the cauterization itself.

    I guess I should call and get some better instructions.

  5. I bet you are all swollen inside. I would suggest that you get some curcumin (a supplement made from tumeric) from the health/vitamin store. It really does wonders for inflammation. I'd also recommend fish oil and Quercetin (a supplement made an ingredient from apples, I think).

     

     

    Thanks Jean, I'll see if I can get some of that.

  6. Hmmmm, it sounds like you have some sort of blockage. If you've done it for years then I know that you know you can't press too hard on your nose. You should be okay with the amount of salt, too, if you're not new to using it. It seems to me that you need to get a doctor to check out this problem for you....

     

    When was the last time you used it that it *did* work as normal for you?

     

    I'm just wondering if you could have some sort of growth that has cropped up. My father has had trouble with nasal polyps in years past and they can grow pretty quickly. They are generally benign, by the way, but do need to be removed if they are causing any sort of problem. (His began bleeding once when he was on a vacation in an air-conditioned place. He wasn't accustomed to the drier, air-conditioned air and it dried him out enough to cause the problem....)

     

     

    oh gosh, I hope not. I haven't been able to use my neti pot in a few weeks. I've been having problems with my ears since... the first season of dr who with matt smith in it. (I remember it that way, because I was watching an episode when someone wrecked their car in my yard and I didn't hear it because my ears were clogged up.) The doctor washed out my years and gave me abx. I've had to get abx a few times since then.

  7. for the past few weeks, I keep trying to use my neti pot, but it burns. It's not the temp or amount of salt. The water won't go through my nose, then it starts burning badly. And when I tried it the other night I ended up with water in my ears. I've been doing this for years and have never had that happen, so I don't know what the deal is.

    And now I haven't done it in days and my nose is runny and stuff is draining down my throat and I really want to wash my sinuses out. :confused: What's the deal here?

  8. Wings can be made from old tights and a coat hanger. One year I hot glued flowers onto an old dress and used a garland I already had to make a crown. Dd went as a nature fairy. I also sacrificed an old white sheet one year to make an angel dress. Sweat suits can be turned into a multitude of costumes. We've done devils and skunks made from cheap red or black sweats and a little felt. You could also do puppies, cats or rabbits from sweat suits.
