I've read that you can have too much yeast in the colon and that it can be a cause of weight gain despite diets etc. Has anyone heard of this and if so had success addressing that problem and resolved a weight issue? If so, would you let me know how you did it?

Well, she won't take me to a doctor because he'll prescribe pills, and she says that the pills increase suicidal thoughts in children under the age of 18 and cause other problems as well. What should I do? How can I get better?

I'm 23 years old and afraid to drive. I got my license when I was 18 and a car at age 20, but only because my parents pressured me. I only drove during the summer because I couldn't take my car to college, so I have limited experience. Not long ago, I had an accident on the interstate. After that, I stopped driving for 6 months, partly because my parents didn't want me to. Now I've got it back but I am scared to drive. My bf is trying to re-teach me, but I am terrified. He wants me to drive on our dates. Now I dread the dates instead of looking forward to them because I'm afraid I'll have another wreck. I also drive really slow. I mapquest every place I'm going (I have a horrible sense of direction). I'm so ashamed that I'm a bad driver and I don't wanna drive with anyone, even him, because I'm afraid they'll laugh at me. My bf and parents both pick on me for being bad. I am about to give up on driving b/c if I'm still a bad driver at 23, is it too late for me to ever become good?

Hey all,

I had a STUPID STUPID unprotected drunken encounter 3 nights ago with a 40 year old female who I had know for a while. It was unprotected vaginal sex, she claim to have had a pap less then 8 months ago along with an HIV test all of which were normal !!

I am worried sick and feel like a complete idiot for doing what I did considering I have practiced safe sex for over 20 years !!

Question, what are the chances that I have contracted HIV and do I need to go get tested ? If so, how soon can I test for accurate results ?

I have a 14 year old son who is a catcher for his baseball team. the problem is he refuses to wear a jockstrap for protection of "the goods" Its a very uncomfortable topic to talk to him about and theres no father figure around. how do I go about dealing with the issue. He keeps on saying that it won't hurt if he gets hit.

I've been noticing that I seem to be having hot flashes in the last couple of months. I'm 35. I live in Arizona, so suffering from the heat is normal here (highs still over 100 here), but sometimes I start sweating and feeling really hot even indoors in the air conditioning. My mother didn't start going through the change until much later, and my sister is in her late 40's and started with the hot flashes only recently. I've really suffered from the summer heat more this year and I am really looking forward to the weather cooling down. I'll be moving from here too. I just feel young to be going through the change. I haven't had any children. Could that contribute?

ok, i've lost 73 pounds in the last year and a half....i have lots of flabby skin on my upper and lower stomach (not to mention my breasts and thighs and buttocks). anyway, it really bothers me because i feel i still look "fat" with all the skin that hangs over my jeans. my pants are NOT too small...they fit great--it's just that the extra skin has to hang somewhere and it's all around my waistline. i can't afford a tummy tuck but i want one...is there a way to get it if my stomach skin-hanging is mentally traumatic for me???

allright now here are the symptoms that i have and i dont know what exactly this is:
-Cannot focus
-cannot plan
-feel under some kind of preasure all the time
-feeling of detachment/depersonalization
-fear of that detachment
-fear of a lot of things ( being ill, fear of my bf leaving me)
-constant worrying
-finding it hard schedule stuff
-late for appointments
-forgetting everything
-when i try to focus my mind goes blank (sometimes i feel like i dont even know how to think, and this makes me feel stupid)
-pretty high IQ
-constant thinking, and getting way too little stuff done( i sit and think of how stupid i am, how worthless, how noody really loves me, instead of getting stuff done like cleaning the house or so)
-highly self conscious
-very low selfesteem.

My biggest problem is constant fear of stuff, constant thinking, and the unability to focus, to think straight. it feels like some part of my brain is kinda frozen and i cannot use it to make plan, or think. I know im clever bu

I think my daughter in 7th grade is stressed because she is getting sick everyday before school. It's really making me nervous about how long this is going to go on for. Does anyone know any remedies, medicines, or treatments I can give to my daughter? Please answers are greatly appreciated, she loves school, but the morning time is a living hell for her!

Life stories would be appreciated as well.

Is it possible to have an intolerance to cheese, but not to milk? I know it sounds like a strange question as cheese is made form milk.
I drink a small amount of milk in my tea, but don't generally eat much cheese.
I've had headaches for years, and cut out caffeine etc, but recently I've noticed that I have headaches the next day after eating cheese....
Could it be connected?
Thanks everyone :-)
