Hi Sandy: Sorry it's been so long in getting a reply out to

you...I've been feeling a bit better for the past few days

FINALLY!! This is typically what happens after having the celiac

block done. It's been a good 2 months since I've felt this good but

I don't want to jinx it so I won't say anymore!!

Yes I do drink regular NON diet Coke for the nausea and it helps

tremendously...I believe it was W. that recommended it to me.

Only problem there is that between the bland diet I have to eat

(which consists of either corn flakes or cheerios or bagels and/or

english muffins or toast) and the return to non diet coke I have

probably gained 35 lbs in the last six months or so.

I cried yesterday as I was trying on pants that I was wearing just

this past spring and now I can't get them closed/zippered (and they

are of the " stretch corduroy/jean " variety so they have " Give " built

into them anyway!)...alot of it is probably due to this awful edema

that has developed in my abdomen/ankles/feet and calves. I can't

even pick up my left leg very well anymore beause of it, good

example is that when I try and lift it out of the tub after a shower

I just barely make it....)

of the ones that gain weight for no apparent reason. I will not

drink regular soda on a regular basis but practivly live on C2 now.

Half the sugar, no sacrin, slenda...etc. It also helps me when I

have a SOD attack. And the pain meds make me feel so lousy that a

cold C2 will help make that better 2.

BAD attack, at least I will have the weight to lose. I am about 25

pounds overweight medically and 15 pounds where I like to be.
