Hi-Protein, etc.
NEWSFLASH!!
Hi-protein diets are not necessarily good for the digestive tract.
No shit.
No, really. No shit. Constipation is one of the top complaints caused by ingesting too much protein, not enough carbohydrates. Also, increased acid reflux, heartburn and other maladies. I know from personal experience. Hi-protein/low-carb diets destroys my digestion and converts my body into a vomit machine. GREAT DIET!! But now there is scientific support to my method research.
I became a vegetarian because of Dr. Atkins. In 1995, I attempted his diet. I thought, "Steak and bacon all the time?! Heck yeah!" I lost weight. Ooh yes I did. But I also lost the ability to digest hard proteins. Eat meat--throw it back up. That was the way of the walk. So I cut all meats, including fish and chicken, from my eating regime. I felt GREAT. I stayed that way for a while.
Then my doctor diagnosed me with acid reflux. "This is why you throw up meat." I was given candy-colored medicine and sent on my way. The pills worked. I ate meat again.
But now, I don't want to anymore. The very idea of eating a low-carb meal makes my eyes water and my belly churn. I believe I am on my way back to vegetarianism.. albeit less strictly.
Etc.
My birthday is a scant few days away. I feel my ovaries creaking with the weight. *creeeeeeeeak* 33 years on September 10. One year closer to the Obstetrical change in bio-demographic. As a birthday gift to myself, I am quitting birth control pills. Nice of me, huh? Hopefully it will be nice of me.. very nice. As in "not bitchy anymore."

Hi M.
I want to let you know, the midwife told me this morning to wait to have this baby until September 10. Specifically September 10. I take it as a very good sign that September 10 is something magical.
And sorry about the *ahem* digestive ailments. I feel your pain. Really, I do.
Congrats on the end of the BCPs!!! We HATE those evil evil things!!!
Evelin
Thanks.. Fortunately not all the digestive complaints, such as constipation, were my own, just the average complaint according to that article. Mine were mostly just the urge to vomit. Fun in and of itself.
Sept 10 IS a magical day.. as with all 10th's. Good luck to you next Friday!!
Ollie my darling,Arianna's birthday is on Sept 12. Ahhhh, September is an excellent month. (ok, cause my bro's is Sept 3, my Dad's Sept 16, MINE SEPT 30, and my Fav of Z's cousins here is Sept 21!!)
I also have the whole Acid Reflux bullshit, heartburn and other associated garbage.
Get this, I took Xenical about 5 years ago for 4-5 monts (more crap, that drug), and I still have Xenical related problems from time to time even now. It is not pleasant. PSA TO ALL: PLEASE DON'T EVAH TAKE IT!!!!!!!!
Oh, and Ollie? I love ya woman.
