Someone recently told me that people with known food sensitivities should be careful about trying elimination diets for other foods. Because if you do without a food a while, and then go back on it you can develop a sensitivity to it.
Typo, I've heard this, the explanation being that certain flora in the gut help you digest certain things (like milk or gluten, maybe?) and if you stop eating those things entirely, the flora that live on them will die off, and then when you start eating them again, you don't have the flora that digest them, and so you get sick.
I have no idea if this is true at all. I do think that my problems with gluten and dairy got a lot worse after I did the Atkins diet for months and didn't eat them at all. I'm not sorry I did it, but it might have been better to eat a little bit of the "forbidden" foods.
Or maybe I had problems all along and never realized they were associated with bread and milk. That's probably more likely, really.
If cheese is wrong, I don't want to be right.
I never have had problems with cheese, thank TPTB. I guess because most cheeses contain so little lactose. They're all milk fat, and my body loves that animal fat.
Except he said " pajama" but we all knew what he meant.
That puts a new spin on "I can't wait to get into my pajamas!"
Ugh. David, get a culture. But it's likely. If sucky. At least it'll clear up relatively fast if you start dosing it.
My fever started to go up, but then it went down. My throat's been gunky for days but it doesn't actually hurt right now.
I don't know what my body's doing. Helm's Deep, I guess. Fight it off!
you could gargle with a warm water hydrogen peroxide mix 1:4 (HP/h2o) I think is the proportion.
That shit will kill off anything in your throat. I did that when I had strep (recurring infection, had it over 2-3 months) and that with antibiotics did the deed for good.
it is nasty though.
Are you really going to try Victorian February, Jilli? I'm so curious about how that will work. So many things were different, to accommodate the restrictions of clothing.
The Filthy Victorians 2012 challenge I linked to in the latest GCS? I'm really tempted to; all I'd really have to do is add a corset to my daily wear.
Yep. I'd like to see how people navigate it.
My GP recommended hot salt water gargles, every three hours or however often you felt the need. Salt is antiseptic and also soothing--I'm not sure hydrogen peroxide would soothe, although it's definitely antiseptic.
Those DA actors are amazingly different out of character. Sioban is almost unrecognizable.
Kat, I used to look at H and wonder what he was thinking. (Willow's "I too know the love of a taciturn man" was a watchword for years) Now I wonder why he feels the need to voice every thought that occurs to him.
sara! Spain, wow!
I can provide evidence that stopping eating a food may cause an intolerance. Have more than a hunch something is causing you trouble before you go off it all the way, would be my advice.
msbelle, glad you liked it. Love you back.
