Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Trude, good move. Leave the carafate alone; you sound allergic to it. You'll be OK. At least, that's what my son says! You could check with our doc, but I'm sure he'd concur. OK now? PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Sounds like an allergic reaction to me, might want to email Dr. R directly and ask him about that. Take care and I don't think I would take anymore until I heard back from the doc just as a precaution.

Guest guest Posted November 17, 2000 Report Share Posted November 17, 2000 Jude, I'm feelin' pretty good.. I had a show today in the late afternoon, and I'm out there... you know where all them fast food places are?? Thinking I can't have that, and oh no, I can't have that, and maybe just ONE french fry. And then .... I thought how many diets have I been on and wished that I wouldn't be hungry for all that garbage... hundreds! Now, here I am not hungry, and I'm complaining cuz I can't have that?? We have been given this wonderful " tool " to help us when we have enough willpower not to eat, now we aint hungry either... And I'm fighting it!! Please forgive me Dr. R. I'm honestly getting it... it's just taking me a while! Thanx for the info on carafate, peej, and please thank your son for me.. Love to meet him someday, when he's not so busy. And I don't mean on an operating table. Love ya, Trude Re: Just a pesky question Trude, good move. Leave the carafate alone; you sound allergic to it. You'll be OK. At least, that's what my son says! You could check with our doc, but I'm sure he'd concur. OK now? PJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
