On a tour we did through apple orchard country in WA State, our guide told us that the "organic" apple trees were still sprayed with pesticide, they just put little net baggies over each piece of fruit before they sprayed the tree. Duh! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-650067 Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:22:23 +0000 SoxsMom 650067@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I agree with you WWM. This whole organic thing is brought about to take money from people! By the way the definition for organic is carbon based. I like to shop at the Farmer's Market--local produce at a MUCH cheaper price--but it is the same stuff in a Whole Foods or Fresh Market. I stand with you WWM! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649892 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:28:22 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 649892@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No attack here, WWM, I agree, you gave very good advice. Wash your produce, be proactive, you can eat what comes from the normal grocery stores. May take a bit more time, but worth the cost. Good advice. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649884 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:24:56 +0000 WillowandWindismom 649884@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*glances around to see who is here* GD, this is my nursing advice. Honey is honey... really. The process is the same. It's like, "Are organic oranges worth three times as much as regular oranges?". Um... no. Just follow good sound practices on eating and you will be fine. Organic has NOT been proven to be beneficial in the least. All it means is that it is more $$$$$.</p> <p>I know... y'all go ahead and feel free to attack me but I will not back down off of this one. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649881 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:20:24 +0000 GreatDane 649881@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks ladies :)<br /> I am feeling much better and trying to take good care of myself. Now that I know that I don't news to spend more money on the doctor, I may go buy the manuka honey you recommended and make it a staple of my diet to try and stay healthy. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649875 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 18:09:20 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 649875@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad that the tests are normal and sending you much love and healing once again. Please get well soon. Love, Mama Lynn </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649867 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 17:45:30 +0000 jcat 649867@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>{{{{{GD}}}}}} So glad the bloods came back normal! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649850 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:59:02 +0000 GreatDane 649850@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I hate it! Thank goodness I have discovered the Fresh Market - I've gotten some good stuff there.<br /> I will stop taking Advil, Motrin and the like - I think what caused this was excessive use before and after I had my wisdom tooth removed. I'm allergic to codeine so didn't want pain meds.<br /> Think I'll continue taking the honey and probiotic yogurt/drinks to try to keep the stomach issues better controlled.<br /> And by the way - haven't had coffee for three days now. Waaah! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649845 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:49:55 +0000 Dee 649845@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yeah, it bites, eh? I have the pictures of mine...pretty cool (or hot, actually)...haha! And I have really found that there is no rhyme nor reason to what makes it ache and burn and what brings on the nausea. It seems like it is usually anything high in fat...and that includes any type of oil and mayo. But, other times it has been plain fruits and vegetables. It's always exciting to play that Russian Roulette stomach game, isn't it? haha! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/4#post-649844 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:43:48 +0000 GreatDane 649844@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It was my educated guess since I've had it before, and he agrees with it.<br /> And I'm definitely going to finish the antibiotics. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649841 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 15:23:25 +0000 Dee 649841@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD, did you get an EGD? That is the only way that you will know for certain if you have gastritis. Or is your Dr taking an educated guess? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649827 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 14:01:21 +0000 SoxsMom 649827@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>GD you really need to take the whole round of antibiotics. People that take them only until they feel better build a resistance that can cost dearly! Glad you are feeling better and the lab work was normal--that is the BEST news! Indelicate here but if you are ovulating your temperature goes up. It can be something as simple as that. </p> <p>Kilroy they are obligated to give you a copy of your results. If they can not manage to get the doctor to give you the results, you can go and get a copy. It may be time to go and get a new doctor! One that actually cares for their patients! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649825 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:44:42 +0000 Kilroy 649825@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>BC, I've called the office 4 times; the doctor is never there &amp; I get the "she's very busy, I'll leave her a message and have her call you" BS runaround. I'm calling 1 more time on Tuesday and telling them a. I don't give a c**p about the stupid test, which I considered unnecessary to begin with, and b. I've never going back there. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649824 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:40:31 +0000 Buttercup 649824@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad to hear about your blood work GD,yay! Hopefully you'll be feeling better soon. Kilroy your labs shouldn't take more than a few days unless you had an unusual test that was sent out. You should call the Dr for results. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649820 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:23:39 +0000 GreatDane 649820@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>That's ridiculous, Kilroy! Does it take longer because it wasn't a rush because you're sick, I wonder? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649815 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:19:24 +0000 Kilroy 649815@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I actually just checked my calendar &amp; it's been a MONTH since I had that bloodwork done. My insurance already paid the bill (holy cow!), so why don't I have the results yet?? </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649812 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:15:25 +0000 GreatDane 649812@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Kilroy, next time you need bloodwork done in summer, one to Florida!</p> <p>I'm so relieved! I'm going to finish my meds anyway since they have really helped me feel betterb Went back to the fresh market today and they didn't have Activia, but I found some Goodbelly probiotic juice shots and got those instead. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649810 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 13:03:45 +0000 jeankit 649810@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Yay...Good news travels fast! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649807 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:58:13 +0000 Kilroy 649807@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Glad to hear your bloodwork came back normal, GD. Hope you're feeling 100% soon. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649805 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 12:53:06 +0000 GreatDane 649805@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Just got a call from doctor's office - my bloodwork is apparently normal! Yaaaay!<br /> I was so excited I didn't ask any other questions. Don't know why I was running a fever or feeling yucky, other than the gastritis, which sure made me feel sick enough.<br /> I'm feeling better today on day three of the meds. Stomach's better but still bothering me a little. I still have a slight flush on my face but not as bad as it was. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649654 Fri, 10 Jun 2011 03:27:19 +0000 GreatDane 649654@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>It's awful, isn't it, Rubia? Not helping that the meds make me really, really nauseous - eventhough I take them with food. </p> <p>I forgot to get Activia when I shopped yesterday, but I'll run in somewhere today and get it.</p> <p>I had a good night with Glen - he was happy to see me - or maybe it was the left-over rotisserie chicken I brought? We played and he got petted and I finally gave him his last dose of the Zithromax. Can't believe how long that bottle has lasted!!! He was in and out of bed all night, but came running this morning when I turned the light on and snuggled in bed with me for a bit. Made it very hard to get up and go to work :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649602 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:56:41 +0000 Rubia in CA, 4/28 649602@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I'm so sorry to hear that you are feeling so lousy! I can really sympathise with the gastritis - I am going through that right now myself. I must confess that I have not been totally good about not eating all the stuff the doc has forbidden. In any case, I do need to go back and have a follow-up.</p> <p>JBBM and all are correct about the probiotics - you really need an extra boost of those when you are on antibiotics. Definitely yogurt with live cultures (like Activia) AND probiotic supplements. You should be able to find those at CVS.</p> <p>I hope you start feeling better real soon, and that Bobby, Milo and Glenn are good boys and snuggle up with their meowmy! {{{GD}}} </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649594 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 18:28:49 +0000 Lynn from PA 6/8 649594@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Continued prayers for your recovery, sound like you did good today! I worry.

Yogurt will be helpful but not enough probiotics in there to be helpful when you are on antibiotics. Trust me you won't regret it :) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649564 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 16:04:42 +0000 GreatDane 649564@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Thanks, WWM - I tried to be a good girl!</p> <p>GG just left for vacation with his parents for a week, so I will be watching Glen for him in addition to the dogs. I'm looking forward to hanging out with him, but wish the timing wasn't so bad. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649513 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 13:03:19 +0000 WillowandWindismom 649513@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Good job at the store, GD!!!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649499 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:29:58 +0000 linda 649499@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>well I horp you're able to! Glad to hear the teeth aren't an issue right now. You can just focus on getting well! Hugs and scritches to the boys! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/35470/page/3#post-649497 Thu, 09 Jun 2011 12:15:41 +0000 GreatDane 649497@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>The rest of my teeth are doing fine, thanks. The oral surgeon is going to take the remaining three out but there's no hurry. I was going to get it done this month, but right now I don't want to put my body and immune system through anything else.</p> <p>I'm trying with the taking it easy, even hoping to get away for a few days once the summer rush is over. Haven't gone away since a 2-3 day trip to the keys three or four years ago. </p>
