Off topic: Elimination Diet for Adult/Recipes needed/Remeron/OCD/Depression/etc.--sorry so long!

[Guest guest]

Hello, everybody! Well, now my own doctor is of the opinion that " If you

know the answer, do you really need to ask the question? " (God knows I

question everything already), but she is like, " If eating that makes you

sick, don't eat that. " She would like me to start taking out foods for a

week or two at a time and seeing what happens. So, I already know G & C

will probably have to go for me.

I have also been VERY obsessive lately, and fighting my compulsions

(which includes self-injurious behavior--thus, a frantic call to my

doctor today before things get out of hand this time). My doctor put me

on a trial of Remeron (anyone know if this is GFCF?). She thinks I need a

balance of meds to help with depression, insomnia, anxiety,

obsessive-compulsive/injurious behaviors, etc., and I am now being

referred to a psychiatrist (AGAIN!). I have been on Zoloft & Prozac

(SSRIs), Depakote & Klonipin (anti-convulsants), and Midrin (combo

drug--pain killer, muscle relaxant, and mild tranquilizer).

I also seem to be having reactions to Ortho-TriCyclen, but it says it can

take up to three months for a body to adjust. GFCF?

I know it usually takes a while for gluten to clear the body, yet I can

eat GF food for a few days, eat just a slight amount the next day, and I

get REALLY physically ill. If I eat GF food all the time, I don't notice

it as much. Is this strange?

Also, I am supposed to be watching sugar intake. I tolerate honey and

maple syrup and such, so I am looking for recipes (candy for Christmas,

too?) that I can make with those. Any help out there?
