The benefit is, though, that I have the same birth defect but was not diagnosed until I was an adult. My mom was already able to see how I worked through the difficulties and has no doubt that my daughters will be able to do the same. My mom is difficult about some things, but she thinks I am an awesome mom. I'm sorry that not everyone has their mom as a (too peppy, sometimes obnoxious) cheerleader. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having a grandparent ask that once would not bother me because I would think that the question came from a place of love and concern for the grandchild.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 I still feel like poop ?. But I guess that this really helps me to see that I cannot have gluten.

You don’t need to be at no dress rehearsal!! I should have followed your advice. Rehearsal was, uh, not good. I kept missing page turns or at least going too slow, so my stand partner couldn't keep on track with the music. The back of the violin section seemed to be playing everything twice as fast as everyone else. I swallowed wrong and had a coughing fit and had to leave the room for a few minutes. I came in a measure early and played my screeching high notes out of tune. I made a dramatic crescendo when it was supposed to get dramatically quieter and the conductor made us play it all over again. Imma go to bed.

Jean in Newcastle Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Oh boy. I am sicker than a dog. Now that I have been Celiac level gluten free for well over a year, my reaction has been much stronger than it ever was in the past. But slower in ramping up than I expected. (I was fine for about four hours after eating and then wham. ). Good thing that dd is gone all day today for job training because I haven’t gotten much sleep and when I did sleep, I dreamt about being as sick as a dog.

KrissiK Posted November 12, 2018 Share Posted November 12, 2018 Good Morning!!! COFFEE!!!~D Monday!!!? We’re taking the day off of school today. DS1 doesn’t have school and I have a lot to do to get ready for Thanksgiving for next week. I’ve gotta bake bread, make pie crusts and get them in the freezer, have the kids start doing some deep cleaning.... So, I gained another 2.5 lbs. this last week. That’s 5 lbs. in two weeks. And no, it’s not a tumor, though that did cross my mind. It’s fat. My clothes are tight and I can feel and see the fat around my middle that wasn’t there before. I don’t feel like i’ve Been eating more or differently. I’ve even cut out desserts. Can stress make a person fat?? Things with DS1 have been so bad, I wonder if my body has just gone bonkers. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First of all, I do not believe that it's not water. Stress affects your hormones and you could be bloated in response to your stress. Yes, stress absolutely can make you fat. One way to combat that is to regularly do cardio because that is a healthy stress and your body will regulate your stress hormones better. Essentially what happens is something bad happens and you have a fight or flight response but you don't fight or fly. You hold on to that hormone that you have on hand to help you fight or fly but you aren't using it and it's knocking things out of whack. You need to use it. You need to sweat. As a side effect it will also make you feel less stressed because you're getting that hormone down. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh...it’s hard. I have the things in the back of my mind all day and try to get as many in as I can but some things end up being skipped more often than they should because they take more effort. It’s good to have as a sensitizing concept when I’m planning meals and choosing snacks. Salads are time consuming so I don’t get my servings of greens that often and I cut back on the legumes because I was so full! I always make sure I have at least 3 servings of fruit and 1 servings of nuts every day. That’s easy. I also almost always get my 3-4 veggies but I’ve reduced what I consider a serving size to be. I don’t think my serving should be the same size as a large man’s. I won’t stuff my face with salad and beans before bed anymore, but I’ll have an apple and berries if I realize I’m short fruit servings. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
