  1.    kathileelyo reacted to a post in a topic: HELP! Why am I so itchy?
  2. BTW...Costco sells it for $6.99 for the case. It looks like Amazon jacks up the price to $14.00
  3. In the chips section. it is typically in a small display and sometimes you have to really slow down and look back and forth from them because up here in Washington, they really go fast. But costco keeps it stocked everyday. They are wrapped in plastic as a case so you can see the package design I have attached an image http://www.amazon.com/Kirkland-Signature-Roasted-Seasoned-Seaweed/dp/B00AG0GLKM
  4. Ironically, I had a craving for my favorite Costco Roasted Seaweed sheets. they are little squares and taste like potato chips, but are only 100 calories for the entire container and 1 gram of fat. I had a hard time stopping eating them. I have not itched at all since having them. Nori is rich in protein and one sheet has as much fiber as a cup of raw spinach and more omega-3 fat than an avocado. Nori contains vitamin C, mega dose of B12 and compound taurine. I find them much more pleasant than popping pills. however, if you eat too much of it, your poop turns green. I have not itched in a week. So now at least I know I have another way to get my B12 in.
  5. You HAVE to get some healthy bacteria into your body. Kefir is a probiotic and tastes like a yogurt smoothie Greek Yogurt is extremely high in Acidopholus and probiotic nutrients. NatureMade makes a Triple Probiotic vitamin that is new. I would look for it at a walmart or drugstore. eating yogurt only 2x per week will not help...you MUST increase your intake or supplement daily with a probiotic vitamin Probiotics are a powerful ally against yeast overgrowth. All that beneficial bacteria helps control the yeast and keeps things healthy – and this is especially true if you are taking antibiotics. Don’t wait until your round of antibiotics is over to start taking probiotics; begin right away, so that as the antibiotics are killing off all of the bacteria inside you (good and bad alike), you are replenishing the good bacteria. Many people find that they develop yeast infections during or just after taking antibiotics. Probiotics are the solution here. Probiotic capsules will work, but so will eating lots of plain yogurt or other cultured foods and drinks, such as lacto-fermented pickles and kombucha. Personally, I take a probiotic capsule everyday, and I also include cultured foods in my diet on a regular basis. 2) Cut Out the Sugar This sounds simple: sugar feeds yeast. If you have a yeast infection, cut out the sugar from your diet. I would begin this immediately and also begin googling yeast infections and read, read, read. you will find that yeast infections are LITERALLY mostly because of DIET. you need to reavaluate your diet and get it "clean"...in other words, eating a clean diet will be your best ammunition.

  6. No allergies...well, to alfalfa, but as long as I stay away from Idaho in June I am fine I am leaning towards the comment from Mistysj about the Vitamin B12 The problem is it is not just on my hands, it has happened on my arms and my armpits as well to the point I have created welts from scratching so hard. I just found out that when our stomach is cut off that we lose our ability to create the "Intrinsic Factor" quite fascinating and I encourage everyone to google it Thank you Mistysj!!!!!!! I am looking into Vitamin B12 shots and will be calling my doctor tomorrow to see if they can do them, otherwise I will have to go to a Naturopathic. I have increased my Vitamin B12 to 5000 MG the past few days and the itching has stopped. I think getting shots once a week would be helpful as well.
  7. So before anyone tells me to look on the boards, I have. the closest thing I can find is info from 2009. I have googled up a storm and of course got a bit concerned. Symptoms: my hands itch like crazy! I have literally taken a nail file and scratched and scratched. at times it has extended up my arms to my elbows and then stop. then my leg would start itching and then stop. Then my chest began itching. stopped. Now I have this rash that is right around the area where the port was removed, but it does not itch. I have been keeping the area clean (disinfecting 2x per day with spray), so even that does not make sense. Then out of the blue after itching for hours. It will stop entirely. Has anyone else had this happen? I have read it could be (worst case) a blocked liver bile duct to (best case) not enough fat in diet or being low on B6 & B12 I am currently 15 days out of surgery and following the yellow brick road to the letter. The itching began about 3-4 days ago. If I cannot get some answers I will head to urgent care tomorrow...but it is a 3 day weekend, so I cannot even get ahold of my primary care physician. anyone? help?
  8. YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!!! I think your son's smile sums up everything that you both are feeling. He is adorable
  9. I did this after both of my C-Sections and it helped me immensely. I was actually considering bringing one with me just in case.
  10. great information. thank you.
