OT: I'm hoping you can help even though this is off topic! EVERY thread I view on DIS except for this one won't show me all the responses if I scroll down. I have to individually click "Next" or the title of the response to view it.
However, on this thread I can just scroll down and see replies! I like this way much better!
Is it only me and my computer? Why is it "normal" on this thread an so annoying on the rest!
Sorry I can't offer any suggestions. Try asking the Tech board.
I just finished an entire pint of chocolate peanut butter ice cream. I ate the whole entire thing. It was only 128 calories, 3 points on ww. It was delicious. It's called Arctic Zone and it's a cross between ice cream and an italian ice. It comes in Vanilla, Chocolate and Chocolate Peanut Butter. I can't wait to try the vanilla tomorrow night. What a treat.
I also burned 650 calories at the gym and walked over 17,000 steps today and stayed within my points. What a good feeling, I think I'm on track again. I stopped at Old Navy and bought some new shirts. My muscles in my arms and shoulders are coming back.
At first I was a little
when you said you ate an entire pint of ice cream.... until I read about the calories. It sounds yummy.... I'll have to look around for it!
I love having smaller bras too!
Big hugs on working through these next 2 weeks with no allergen foods. I take it nuts are all okay for your DS? You could branch out to the other nut butters - almond is delicious! Almond milk is my favorite fake milk too. Would he eat other fruits or veg dipped in pb?
Can he do corn? Then you can do corn tortillas or coat your fish sticks or chicken nuggets in polenta grains.
Would he eat homemade (oven-baked) french fries or potato wedges?
Sorry if these are lame ideas or just stuff your DS would never eat.
Corn is a no-no and so are tree nuts (he is okay with peanuts because technically they are in the bean family). No cashews, almonds, walnuts, coconut, etc. He can't have chicken or potatoes, which is why I tried making the fish sticks. Commercially made fish sticks (which he loves) are coated in part with corn meal. But thanks for the suggestions.
wow, I don't know how you do it. DS9 is allergic to fruit juice, but at least he doesn't get sick unless he ingests it. but it's still nerve racking! Once the nurse comes flying past me towards the Pre-k room and didn't realize it was me she passed and when it donned on her, she was like good, you're here. I was just about to call you. Apparently they "think" DS might have drank a capri-sun when it was handed to him by accident, I was like you'll find out in about 3 seconds. For DS9 it all comes right back up, forcefully, if he has juice. OJ and lemonade are ok but apple, grape and cider are horrible. And he can't have more then one glass of OJ or lemonade a week.
What all is he allergic to? And why are you trying to not eat any off it for 2 weeks? Does he not have life threatening allergies to all of it?
His "life threatening" allergies (although he has never had a severe reaction) are the tree nuts and seeds (sesame, pumpkin, etc). Those we avoid totally. But his other food allergies we kind of just "live with". But he has pretty significant eczema and he is having a really bad flare right now and I feel like we need to get it under control. The allergist and dermatologists have told me for YEARS that it isn't the food causing the skin eruptions, but I've never totally believed them. We have tried all kind of different skin creams and routines, but it is just getting worse. I have put a call in to our pediatrician to try and get a referral to a new pediatric dermatologist, hopefully someone who specializes in kids with eczema and food allergies. But I haven't heard back yet.
Anyhow, he does eat many of his "problem" foods on a daily basis, but we are going to try hard for a few weeks to eliminate as many as possible and see if his skin is helped. The big problem foods are chicken, tomato (so of course, no ketchup, salsa, pizza sauce, spaghetti sauce), beef, orange, corn, oats, potato, eggs..... and to a lesser extent wheat, milk, soy, strawberries. That probably isn't everything.... I can't remember it all.
In addition to this, he is SO PICKY! I told him he is going to have to suck it up and deal with eating some things over the next two weeks that he may not be so fond of!
Top o' the morning to you all!
I was having a lovely night sleep until 4:30 when some jerk decided to drag race down the street outside our bedroom at 4:30AM! I should've gotten up and worked out but really wanted more sleep. I may have gotten 10 minutes more! UGH! I will work out at 7:30 and later today while trying to catch up on laundry after work. I also need to run the dishwasher. Going to be a busy day catching up today and tomorrow! And getting ready for our weekend at the Cape!
Happy St. Patrick's Day right back to you! I totally forgot what day it was and the kids went off to school wearing blue! oh well.
I'm off to update my WISH journal and get in my workout. TTYL...........P
), and rice milk for three meals a day!!
And another is the feeling of hope that I have now that I can actually do this.

Glad your DD is feeling better!
It was a lot of fun but I did have to take two Aleve when I got home. 
MIA but still hanging in.
Well I need to read back about a mile of pages 
No fever, just feels like she's going to puke. Pjilla I was just wondering last night if it's food-related, she seems to get this a LOT. I am going to keep a food journal for her for the next two weeks.
Well at least I am disappointed about it. I don't like "running" through the neighborhood and am not sure if I want to leave dd while I drive to the park with the dogs...
Wish I could come babysit for you so you could get out there!
