Dr M just approved me for list 5 and I have questions about eating out. My mother is coming to Los Angeles from England on Monday for 6 weeks and we will be having to eat out a lot on our outings. I am always cautious when eating out and only have baked potato and steak with nothing on. I am thinking on list 5 I should not worry so much and things that have sauce on them or dressing as long as it does not have sugar in it. Any one on list 5 have any ideas. I still have some frequency and awareness of my bladder but have no problems tolerating foods so she wants me adding in more foods. 

I thought pads were bugging me so I switched back to cloth and it seemd t help but I now feel like it is the actual blood that is making me irritated and itchy. I have had such a hard time falling asleep the past few nights because I have my period. I do use Instead cups but usually near the end of my period not the first few days as they are really messy. I don't like the Diva cup- have never tried sea sponge. Tampons bother me too. DOes anyone else feel like this?. Yuck- it is such annoying, nasty feeling. Not sure why the blood would be irritating my skin like this.

So after using Tom's or Jason's deodorant (can't remember now) for a while with little success, I switched to Lafe's deodorant a few months back, and it was working much better. Yesterday, I noticed some small black specks inside the bottle that looked awfully like mold, and I went on Amazon to check the reviews and other people have had similar problems. I can't believe I had been slathering myself with mold every single day for who knows how long! For anyone who uses this, be very careful.

Hi all,

Ok, needing some positive thoughts and just a couple questions about what I shod stock up on the next couple days before surgery. Because of other issues can't swallow pills so going to be crushing them and wondering if yogurt might not be the best choice with the fat content and GB being removed if I should avoid yogurt? Apples and I don't normally get along causing reflux, but thought on maybe a tiny bit of unsweetened apple sauce would be better? Any other ideas for foods to have on hand or that may be tolerated better after surgery?

I am reaching out for advice.... I am currently 36 weeks pregnant and despite being in treatment, I tested positive for Strep B. My Dr told me this is an automatic IV antibiotic to prevent GBS in my baby. I realize I am playing a numbers game if I fight the Cleveland Clinic and decline the antibiotics, which could be devastating for my baby if he would become infected.....argh. So, has anyone tested positive for Strep B, pursued a natural treatment and then been able to have the overgrowth numbers return to normal. If so, how did you do it?

Thanks, Katie

Hello ladies :) I have a few questions about rhodiola and die off. Boaz started me on rhodiola a few days ago, one a day. Since taking it I realize it is making me very naseous and dizzy. I emailed Boaz about this and he said this is good and that it sounds like die off. I am glad to finally have die off but I sort of expected that when I had it that my bladder would feel better but it is not. I am having the worst urgency I've had in years. So not only am I in the bathroom every 10 min I am extremely naseous.

Hello ladies :) I have a question about Rhodiola. Okay so a few days ago Boaz added this to my protocol. I take one a day. I noticed that when I took it the first day I felt naseous afterward, I didn't think anything of it. Then I realized in the last few days that I'm pretty sure taking it is making me naseous and very dizzy. Today it has been pretty severe. I emailed Boaz and he said this is good and sounds like die off. I am glad to be finally having some die off but I thought that when you get die off that often the bladder will feel better but mine is not.

Hi all,

Just a quick one to ask you to please remember in your prayers. Long story short - I have been feeling very unwell lately so did a blood test today and it has shown a significantly abnormal liver function. I am due to go to hospital tomorrow morning for more tests etc. I am quite scared because I don't really know what's brought this on. I am terrified that the docs will blame it on herbs - they are not very open to alternative therapy anyway. I hope to God they don't steer me away from this treatment because I refuse to go back on conventional meds :(
