Awesome. i google H pylori and wow, that must be horrible! ((((Hugs))))

At least you got a diagnosis, sometimes things go diagnosed for a LONG time (i hope yours was not a long time) and more damage takes place in the meanwhile.

Day 3 without sugar/carbohydrates.

this is not so tough, i can do this.

one of my clients told me that once she stopped eating junk food her arthritis symptoms decreased MAJORLY.

That's what i'm looking for and also to shed these nasty 20 pounds that have plagued me for so long!

dee that is great progress! Good for you!

Please keep posting the things that are working for you because we can all benefit.

On another note, I must have been lacking in iron because I bought dried seasoned Nori strips to snack on and have been blasting through them. Feels like my brain has been power boosted. Clearly was not getting enough dark green veggie nutrients.

I recently switched doctors and after explaining my ongoing tummy troubles to her she suggested I be tested for H pylori. Most of the four areas tested came back negative, but the one that is most detrimental came back with a high positive. The drug cocktail was pretty hard on my body at first, but I am now seeing such drastic improvement that I can honestly say it was well worth it! Thanks, Dee

mmm shrimp! what a great food. peeled and deviened. grilled with some seasoning is good with a side of brown rice or veggies.

I also like to take this shrimp cut it up with diced jalapenos and onions and add some V-8 plain or spicy and have a shrimp cocktail. The bad thing with this is I can eat it up with lots of chips... so maybe a low fat whole grain cracker instead?

I stepped on the scale this morning. well my morning/afternoon and I've reached my 10 lbs lost goal that I made for myself a couple months ago for the end of this year. I know it has to do with all the working I've been doing and walking, moving about. I've been pretty active and eating ok. I still am not limiting what I eat, just checking the ingredients, calories and making better choices and remembering portions. we'll see if it stays that way through the holidays. I'll try hard!

Tis the season to eat! All kinds of yummy delicious food is among us. There are recipes to cut out the calories and fat and sugar so check into that and also pace yourselves and remember portion control. Enjoy your Thanksgiving folks!
