Annie,

Those are some wonderful suggestions. I'm going to try every single one, one at a time.

Except for the gluten, I already tried that one. I started on the south beach diet and at the same time cut out gluten for a couple of weeks. I've been feeling wonderful, although that's probably just because it was coinciding with me going into a beautiful remission. I've added gluten back and it doesn't seem to hurt. And the extra fiber in the south beach diet made me huge.

I would love to figure this out. I actually used to be cute. Now half of my face falls down and I bloat up like a giant, blubbery thing. Ugh. I HATE it! I don't even want to go out of the house sometimes.
