GF is going well for now, but i don't know how much more i'd give up w/o a fight :) Did they use blood/saliva tests to diagnose all that or AK? (i've been AK then confirm w/blood)<BR/><BR/>I'll go to a LLL meeting on occassion w/a student (we teach Bradley Method) but don't really go on a regular basis. At almost 16 mos ~ G's 'snackin' morning & nights and i've <I>quasi-reluctantly</I> dropped the pump.jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03219131205995734154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22797834.post-25054332515689569402008-08-28T15:23:00.000-07:002008-08-28T15:23:00.000-07:00I Jenn- I'm a friend of Laurie's. Like your blog ...I Jenn- I'm a friend of Laurie's. Like your blog girl. I am from Maryland- moved here to Mt. Lebo almost three years ago. Am going thru my own hell with auto-immune symptoms, mental junk. am eating a spinach, strawberry, mozzarlla, almond salad with balsamic vin. dressing right now. very yummy and no ofenders for me that i'm aware of, though dairy is sketchy. i was going to a chiro. this winter/spring and he wanted me to do the elination diet. i spent lots of $ on different foods at Trader Joes and Whole Foods and ended up on a binge without gluten/dairy/sugar, etc., and became quite obsessed with food in the process. So now I am trying a less radical approach, eating a protein rich menu with mostly lean meats/veggies and fruits. <BR/><BR/>Three years ago I without wheat/meat/dairy for 12 weeks but the lack of protein did me in (should have had meat). <BR/><BR/>I have breastfed all 4 of my kids, and two of them had dairy allergies so i went as long as one year w/o dairy, peanuts, soy- then they grew out of the allergies. <BR/><BR/>i say all of this because i know how hard dietary changes can be and i wanted you to know you aren't alone. :) <BR/><BR/>do you go to la leche league?<BR/><BR/>judyJudy Sombarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08251587791516400057noreply@blogger.com
