I wish i could get off soda ( coca-cola) but somehow it helps with these white bumps that I get in my gums and they hurt like hell........when I do not drink it. I have tried everything..........The facial pain is helped with the Lyrica...etc but not the white bumps, and I call them that way because I have no other way of describing them....they have turn part of my gums white.....I press them and then they come out somewhere else....some are permanent....I thought at first they were my teeth but no they are Ok NO cavities, I once even got a needle and just poked one of it just blood came out.......... Any suggestions?
God Bless,

Also I had a Sleeve Gastrectomy not a bypass which is the stomach is left like the shape of an elbow, banana.......so it is reduced...I had it 5 years ago....I am eating less and less plus the nausea and vomiting almost daily.........
Have you talked to a doctor about this, or preferably a dentist???? There has to be something better than Coke that will relieve the white bumps.
Coca-cola is the worst thing you can drink when you are trying to lose weight. Not only is it full of sugar and HFCs, but it is full of sodium--a bad combination! Coke is very hard on the tummy too. I know it is hard to give up something like that, I have had to do it myself. But if you are serious about losing weight, you really need to cut down and eventually stop drinking all non-diet sodas. I know diet Coke is yuucccckkkkk and artificial sweeteners are bad for us, but I still drink 2 or 3 Frescas (only comes in diet) each day. If I drank that much regular soda I would weigh...I don't know, but whole lot more than I do!!!
Also, if you can eat whole fruit instead of fruit juices. You miss so much fiber and nutrition with fruit juice, even when you are careful to check that there is no sugar added.
Relax, take it one day at a time, don't beat yourself up. It takes time to change habits and lifestyle--and I don't mean months, I mean years. One baby step at a time...

Vomiting and nausea--have you tried the BRAT diet? Eat nothing but bananas, plain rice, apples and toast. All four are very easy on the tummy, I find apples especially are wonderful for nausea. I know several fibro friends who have done this diet and gotten completely past the nausea and vomiting. I know you don't eat much...try a bite of banana, a couple spoonfuls of rice, half a piece of toast. It's worth a try.
Huuggss, Kimberly :)
Thanks KImberly I will try it.
You have been a blessing, Thanks for taking the time to do so.
God Bless,

I have tried but the pain is bad, only coke /soda works. I have a dentist appointment today,(I will let you know) but this has been going on for 2 years. See I managed to handle the pain without any medications for over 2 years with prayers only, but when it got my face, throat, teeth, ears, head.....the pain was to bad, not my face in general. That is when I started Lyrica again which I have to mix with 4 mg of clonazepan and 2 tylenol pm in order to work.
The the weight started increasing, also my body temperature is low aprox 34.5 to 35 even in summer....I have tried some iodine pills......my thyroid is ok according to the doctors....
My tolerance to pain medicine is extremely high, Doctors some say that with that mix they can sleep a horse....:)
Oh, honey, I wish I could hug you!!!!! Things *will* get better. I know, I have had this disease for over 20 years...but it never gets better as fast as one would like!
Love and gentle huugggs, dearest! Kimberly :)
Honey, any time. Any time at all. If you need to talk, I am here for you.
Huuggsss (very gentle ones), Kimberly :)
I agree with you totally! Sugar creates pain, I know that for sure. Not that I don't have any, but limiting sure does help!
I love your idea about the fizzy water, you are right, mineral water is full of phosphates.
Kimberlt :)
P.S. You know you have fibro when it takes you 5 times to spell your name right!! Lol!
Try topamax it is used as a migraine preventitive but it has a side effect of weight lose.
Thank you so much for the advice.

YOU MADE M DAY......YOU ARE RIGHTT!
TRY MIO LIQUID water enhancer..........the Sweet Tea is great but of course it stains teeth......
BUt it an alternative to the soda, you can add it to just plain carbonated, sparkling water...club soda....
Both have:
0 calories, 0 fat, 0 sodium, 0 protein
It cost aprox $2.80 and they come in different flavors, the cheaper brand do not taste as good as this one
Blessings to all,
Alex
How many mg?
Alex discuss this with this with your doctor look the the drug topamax up on google to find all info jeannie
Please make sure the lunch meat/hotdogs, etc. have NO NITRATES!!! Not only does it cause cancer, it is the worse thing possible for your body even if you have no immunity problems!
Thank you, please do.
God BLess,
Alex
The MIO Liquid is fantastic!!!! Thank you soooo much for the recommendation!! I have tried the lemonade so far--total yum!!!!
MIO is closer to $5 where I live, but is definately worth it!! Thank you again, I would never have tried it if I hadn't seen your recommendation. I'm drinking the lemonade now--slurp, yum!!!!
HUUGGGSS, Kimberly :)
