Are all yogurts the same?

I have been noticing lately about the many different choices of yogurts that are out there from organic to chobani to activia.  Some of these yogurts are really high in sugar.  Sugar can inflame a persons IBS.  Which yogurt is the right one?  I can't really say.  It's an individual choice on what seems good for you. 
Recently I found out that the organic yogurt seems to contain more sugar then some of the other brands. Ouch!!!
I tried Chobani yogurt for some reason I seem to always pick the ones that don't taste good or that the company is having problems with.
Yopalit  is alright  but I find that the greek style yogurts are far to big for the serving size if people are trying to lose weight.
Now I am trying activia.  I will give it the two week challenge, as they advertise.  See if this helps with the small inflammations I get from time to time when I eat the wrong types of food.

Is pizza like life?

Friday I unexpectedly found myself at my daughter's school for lunch.  As I was there I had pizza with my daughter.  Yes, the pizza had gluten in it.  I seemed to do okay until the middle of the night when my colon decided to thank me for the gluten surprise.  It was very upset.

As I laid in bed with a very upset colon it made me realize how many times in life do we accept other people's crap and take it in as if it were our own. Feel very comfortable with it but some how we don't speak out like my colon and just become comfortable with what people say and do with us or about us.

How many times through our own choices we let people get to us by putting us down, or blaming us. We take it thinking that this is how we are. That we are stupid, or not worthy of anything.
While the whole time our mind is screaming out that whatever people are saying about us isn't true.

I think it happens more often then we would like to admit. We so easily give our power away to things that shouldn't matter and we don't leave room to nurture ourselves.

I think it's time for all of us to take ourselves back and be kind to ourselves and give ourselves a break.  We are all people going through a people experience.  Sometimes we forget that.

Pressure Change

This kidney stone has set off a few chain reactions in my body due to pressure changes as slight as it may be. The pressure change has effected my IBS in some weird way.

I'm back!!

I had a few health issues that I needed to take care of since January.
Just when you think you have have everything figured out something else comes up.

During the time I got my CT scan it showed I had a non obstructive kidney stone.  Yeah.  I figured it was fine because it wasn't causing me any problems. 

Well... the darn stone has shifted and I now have pain from time to time.  I am just waiting for this puppy to pass.  It could take weeks for this thing to pass. 
I am going to try some cyotone.  See if it will help get this kidney stone past so I can go on with life.

To much to see and do.

PS....I love Irish Soda Bread, but it doesn't love me when it is made from wheat.
I am going to see if I can find a gluten free recipe.
