Re: Vacation (thanks Marilyn!) and Looking for Support :)

[Guest guest]

I'm sorry you have to go through this. Going on intro is good, and then to easy

to digest foods. Epsom salt baths help as well. What I have heard about these

things, is that they get shorter and less intense as time goes on. I hope this

is the case for you.

Feel better,

PJ

Thank you PJ! It's so nice to get advice or just hear that it's " normal " I've

never done the epsom baths- I'm just not a bath person. But... maybe today will

be the day!

I didn't used to be a bath person either. Then I met epsom salts :-)

Hey ! Go to " Files " on the left hand menu and then " Eating Out With Scd " .

I also love Marilyn's other file in there that talks about her experiences.

Mine is in the BTVC-SCD library. It's a word processing document set up

to print two sheets on a standard piece of paper. You can use it as

a template, and just plug into it the foods you like and

tolerate.

I keep copies in my food case so I always have them when I am eating out.

That way, the poor waiter doesn't turn green trying to remember all the

things I can and cannot have.

Hi Marilyn, Any chance I can post a link to this document from my website? Is

the file up anywhere that is not in this group (ie can someone not in this group

open it)?

Thanks,

Kat

Found it! Thanks Joanna and Marilyn! There's only a couple of restaurants that

i trust eating at and it'll help to give them this to refer to. The last 2

times we ate out they've had garlic in my meal and i had to send it back. I

can't tolerate it right now. This will help a great deal. Thanks a bunch!

sites.google.com is a really easy way to create a web site without programming. It doesn't have shopping cart features, but is great for making a basic multi-page web site. You can also apply many design templates to your site and upload photos as well as control who can see or update it. Best of all, it's free. Something to think about, anyway.

<sigh> The file is not up anywhere, no. I don't have a website

because I'm not a programmer. Anyone who's a member of this group can

access it -- and if they're needing to access it and aren't a member,

they probably need to be! <grin>

You're welcome to link to it -- just please be sure that I have credit

for it. I get really PO'd when people take my recipes and post them

elsewhere without giving credit. (This is one reason I ask that anyone

posting a recipe give proper attribution to the recipe creator.)
