My husband, insulin dependant, want to stop drinking diet sodas because he wants to avoid artificial sweeteners and, after drinking diet coke all his life, he's having a heck of a time finding a beverage to replace the diet soda. He's open to ice teas, has tried some, but is there anything else out there that might take the place of the diet soda? Or come close? I think he's after the bite that soda gives. Thanks to all!

It has an imprint that looks like HR225 or maybe HD225? It's scored and it looks like it might be kinda old.

What happens to people with Celiac disease who keep eating 'bad' foods?

Say, they didn't know they have Celiac (not yet diagnosed). Or, just kept eating the damaging foods. What would that do to them over the long term?

I have underactive thyroid, am taking Armour thyroid hormoe replacement, I watch diet, and workout at gym 4x a week cardio and 3x a weight training. I know I've lost inches but not weight. I think I'm stuck at a metabolic set point which will not allow me to loose weight. Any way to bust this set point? More exercise? Change in nutritiion?
Open to suggestions....

But I just can't seem to shake this bout of depression. I was doing OK for a while, now, I just see no real reason to stay alive. I just feel like I am living in a fog. All my doctor and shrink want to do is pump me full of meds to "mask" my problems. I have pretty much lost every friend I had because of my moodyness. I just have been feeling unusualy alone the past couple of days. I guess my question is, have you ever been to a low point like this in your life, and if you have, how did you work things out?

I am not trying to be mean, but please don't suggest anything about religion as a way to help. I do believe in God, I have tried placing everything in his hands, and truthfully, It did not work.

I would like to thank you in advance for answering this question.

About 5 years ago I woke up with a horrible rash all over my body. I had eaten shrimp the night before, and although I'd never had any problems from shrimp, my doctor suspected I could've acquired an allergic reaction to it. There is speculation that I could've had a reaction to the bed I'd slept on that night also. Anyway, I want to get tested for shrimp allergies because I absolutely LOVE shrimp, and want to eat it again. Does anyone know how much allery tests cost, and what they entail? I really want to eat shrimp again.
