B deficiency in undiagnosed celiac patients.http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/11280545While comparing nutritional yeast to animal sources of b vitamins, I learn that most nutritional yeast is fortified and that's why it's so high?
yes it is fortified. I like giving it to DD because it is also has protein and iron in it. I make a paste out of it with a little earth balance spread for her tofu raviolis or gnocci.
Was me, I'd focus on the B complex. It's been many years since I took a nutrition class, but IIRC the B vitamins are crucial for the Krebs cycle, which is how you're converting food energy into body energy, and if that isn't operating at high efficiency now that you're changing energy soucres, then you're likely to run down (and crave carbs -- IIRC sugar cravings, especially, may be a sign of B deficiencies, where the body thinks it's not getting enough food when actually it's just not converting enough).
I'm a bit wary of depending on fortified foods for B12; several months of supplements that were in swallowing pill (vs. dissolving under the tongue) form didn't help me at all and the fortified foods usually contain the same type of B12. Apparently it is not uncommon to have issues absorbing enough B12 as cyanocobalamin in the stomach but no one has really figured out why.
I know, I should be happy about this... it's just irritating to have everything constantly too small or too big and never just right.
Plus, I am PISSED that I can't find anything at Marshall's or TJ Maxx any more because of the size I am looking for. It's crazy. Nothing fits, until I buy something new, and then that doesn't fit either.
size 2?Even as a pre-schooler, I've never been a 2.Damn you, little petit tiny itty bitty people.
I always thought so, but I'm down to a size 2 and there is little or nothing to pick from. I hate to even say it, because I feel weird about being a size 2, but there you have it.
That is what I am... no problem.
Don't forget there's been "size inflation" in the garment industry; as people get larger on average, the clothing makers have been making the sizes larger too -- a 2 today is bigger than a 2 in the 1980s, for instance.
Absolutely. They rarely have anything smaller than 8 (except in dresses), hardly have skirts at all, and never have pants in long. Ever.
