This month's support group meeting will be at 4:00 pm Pacific time. I am looking forward to speaking with all of you!
And for the posts I have not answered below, I will get to those today. Sorry for the delay:)
...I remembered which flour I used in my chocolate cake. It was Bob's Red Mill whole Wheat.!:) Many people asked, and I finally found the old familiar package!
Salad Idea #1
one head of romaine lettuce
two handfuls of spinach
half a cucumber -take skin off if it is not organic-cut it in vertical quarter slices and then cut those long pieces horizontally.
half cup of cherry tomatoes cut in halves
season with dried basil going in circles from the outside of the bowl to the inside
repeat this with salt
repeat this with garlic powder
repeat once a gain with olive oil
if you are allowed lemon squeeze one lemon in
Salad Idea #2
Your bottle of probiotics and other supplements have other instructions on them the ones that I give you. Please disregard the directions on each bottle and take your supplements in the manner that I have prescribed, because interactions with supplements at different stages in treatment are very different with IC.
Also, please do not substitute something else in for a product you have run out of, and do not take any of your supplements if you have run out of one of them unless you ask me if it is OK. IT isnt always OK.
Someone asked me today how you know if you are flaring when you add in new foods.
Typically, a reaction from food or something that you have placed on your body will occur within moments to a few hours. There are definitely exceptions to that rule in that, I have had a few patients who have delayed reactions. But, that is rare UNLESS you have cheated with foods like sugar-that is almost always delayed.
Has been threatened in the past with the attempt of many bills to pass in congress by many different people. Thus far none of them have passed and, it would be my hope that non ever will.
This is the most recent one. I thought it was important to let each of you know so that all of us can do our part in helping to voice our opinion on the importance of being able to have access to vitamins and supplements in the healthfood store.
