I am in the hospital ,they are checking my left kidney..I had a bad bout of E-coli 3 yrs. ago that lasting 4 to 5 months,it was so bad they put me
in hospital on IV's I couldn't eat or drink anything. It was terrible and
been having a problem with my left kidney...Infection,blood ,and such.
He feels the E-coli I had as a child,and the bout last time has done damage.

Your Dr. should report to the Health Department when test shows e-coli.
They health department will contact you very fast. They ask you where
you have eaten,resturants,I only ate out at 2..They send you paper work
and imformation about what to do in your own house,you just never know.
It's not always reported because it may last a short time,and people
think they have the flu..

The Dr. said so much of it is in the ice that's put in our glasses..He said
by law,the person giving you the ice should change gloves when putting
the ice in glass throw them away and and put on fresh one's...But alot
will (and this will make you sick) go to the bathroom with those gloves
on,come back and use those gloves..Dr. said he never asks for water
with ice in it.. Now nurse is after me,I'm so glad you put this up.
I was sick with it 4 months imagine ,you don't want to. Sue

Sue, just wanted to say hi, and hope you get well soon.

You hang in there!!

The most useful nutrition is in the yolk.

You do what you want. Just find another source of choline.

Dr. Day sounds like a quack to me. Anyone who says that all illnesses are caused by this or that is practicing medicine with blinders on. It makes sense to me that many diseases may be initiated by viruses or bacteria and the body's autoimmune response to them also factors heavily into the equation. I think that there will be a substantial increase in the number of diseases found to have been caused or initiated in this manner in the near future. Life also has to be enjoyable and to cut out everything and never eat anything that you enjoy because it may not be good for you makes as little sense as overdoing eating anything you want. Fad diets come and go, it seems like moderation is the key to sucess as in so many areas of our life.

Actually (and a Hi to Hey Joe). in my case, I really don't think it's a fad diet because I went to a nutritionist (2 actually, because one was at Cornell). It's all about my diabetes.

I've just cut out all the crap. I don't miss it and because I know that I did this to myself, well, when I look at my nice grilled chicken over my nice healthy greens with lots of sprouts (don't laugh), I actually like this.

I don't miss the potato in the evening. I don't miss the gravy. (Maybe I do miss a meatball or two), but I can always make turkey meatballs.

I don't deprive myself. I just don't miss eating that way anymore. And my body shows it. So I do this for myself. It's not for everybody, that's for sure.

I haven't watched the rest of that tape yet. I can't wait to see what she thinks people SHOULD eat!!! Probably tofu and almonds. Neither of which I like.

We have to find a happy medium. I lost my weight, I got my sugar down, so for me, it's good.

Oh, Alan just announced. "We're going to Dunkin Donuts tomorrow, I'm not ready to give up my coffee roll".

That was a really fast fad diet, now wasn't it?? lol

Shiney Sue, I am so sorry to hear you are in the hospital. Here's hoping you are better very soon.

HeyJoe, I agree with moderation. Think about all the things put on this earth to nourish us, what our species has had available to eat -- in nature. It just makes sense to avail ourselves of many things in moderation. There's the catch for most of us....MODERATION! I have been watching my body (inspired by you, Melody!) and have lost 22 pounds. I have a goal of losing at least 35 more. I have been very heartened in this and in my new found walking program by many on this site. Now if our dang weather will just cooperate so I can get out to the park and walk!!!! Thanks to all of you.

It's nice to have a computer in the hospital,and thanks for the good
Wishes it means a lot to me..

I eat very much the Way Mel does,and believe me she is on a good
diet for us,because of the diabetes,and I hope I never get that sick
again. Not to happy about these tests through..

I agree Susan it is so cold,and it hurt just goingg from van and into
the hospital yesterday,it is enouh go away. I'm sure that won't work.Ha
Sue

Here's hoping everybody stays nice and toasty.

I'm going to look up choline and see what other foods I can eat besides eggs. They can't be the only food source for choline, right??

P.,S. Just googled and found 3 sources that I can do. Wheat Germ, Cauliflower, and soybeans.

Guess who is going back to the produce stand tomorrow.??
