Can't be without my friends. You all are a big part of my success.

OK...I've read conflicting information on the Internet about dairy and reflux. I was under the impression that low fat, or no fat products were acceptable to use with reflux because they were not high in fat.

 

Other places said no dairy...

 

What do the other great minds here know about this topic?

 

Please, I definitely would appreciate any feedback...

Carole, sorry, never have had reflux, so I can't add to the debate. But I did finish a new quilt top today!

I never felt reflux, but I had what they call "silent reflux". Gastrointerologist told me"no dairy". Thats when he put me on 2 Prilosec a day. My endoscopy showed erosion to the point of near esophageal cancer. Thats why I'm always telling ppl not to ignore reflux.

Have you had an endoscopy, Carole?

I did have an endoscopy done, though it was several years prior to my band. I have been on Nexxium for years. In January my doctor increased my dose to 2 Nexxium a day.

 

I feel fine really, until I dare to lay down.

 

I'll be calling the doctor in Asheville on Monday, even if I feel better.

 

All of this incepreased reflux started to happen the day we first took Sushi into the vet.

 

I did discover that the flavoring for my water contained citric acid...so no more of that for me...

 

Good to know all is well...Diane was out this evening with her daughter, which was good to read.

 

Dee, how was today? Thank you for your advice re: the doctor.

 

Terri, looking forward to the pictures! The colors should be beautiful...

 

Janet...thank you for sharing what you were told. I am clueless as to what I am dealing with here, but I know it is driven by autonomic reactions to stress. Wish I could figure out how to control them.

 

Dawn, I hope you have a safe and enjoyable weekend...and ride some more miles.

 

Nicole, hope you are feeling well...and the same to you Michelle. Enjoy your down time!

 

Sweet dreams all...

 

Sweet dreams Carole!

Just watched the movie, The Social Network. Weird story and Zuckerman is strange!

Dee, I'm so sorry about your doggie! So sad for you.

My daughter called me last night outraged at her husband who is chatting with another woman on Facebook and late night calling her for hours. Exactly how he got her to run off and marry him. He is such and ass! She confronted him and told him what se would do to him and her if and to cut all ties or else. She told me "that bastard just needs to give me a reason to leave this hell I'm in!"

I told u that they met in fb ad she is 7 years younger ad within 2 months they eloped. I just figured if they were at least happy who cares how I feel. Now I find this out!

And this isn't even the bad news... I've been eating like crazy ever since! I'm literally depressed and saddened, can't barely speak because its such a horrible situation and I'm powerless. ( my eating like crazy is like 1200-1500 cal instead of 850 but I feel just terrible about it! )

How do I stop? I think tomorrow morning I will go running instead of eating to blow off steam. I don't dare tell my husband because he will kill the dude! So there I sit stuffing my face! Mow I'm double sad!

Help?!

I certainly can't "like" that Michelle..

I am so sorry this is happening to your family. I hope either your daughter leaves him or they get serious couples counseling.

I think you have figured out away to handle this, by running.

Try to do something non food to cope.And don't beat yourself up for slipping and sliding through this mess.

This is a huge stress factor. We're all moms here, we can relate.

The sad thing is your daughter may work this out, but it will stay with mom F O R E V E R.

My thoughts and prayers for all of you!

Michelle, I hope and pray that your daughter comes to her senses and leaves the ****** bag.

Are you calling us dogs?

Seriously Michele, my heart goes out to you. Running is definitely better than eating your stress away. Take care of you while all this crap comes down around you. One positive note.... your daughter told you which means you are and always will be her Mom and she knows it!

Michelle,

You are already on the right path to discovering alternative coping tools to manage stress. Running instead of eating is excellent.

Other tools include the dialogue you are telling yourself, internally. In the field we call this self talk. You already know that eating is not going to help resolve this issue, so ask yourself how is my eating going to help my daughter? What can I realistically do assist my daughter? Why should I give myself a negative consequence for my jerk SIL?

The more internal dialogue processing you do, it helps you to discover, identify, and revise your using food to cope with adverse family issues.
