Suzy,
I dont' have any recipes but I do
know when reading up on it for my dad,
the key to some of it maybe FIBER...
That dreaded word....
but supposedly, that helps immensely...
*you know, pushes that stuff out real
fast and keeps stuff moving*

Romaine lettuce, *not like an iceberg that is
equivalant to water*

Hearty Wheat breads and such, *hearty as in hunks and chunks in the breads, not the soft ones..*

Russet potatoes, *if you have to use a potato
the russet's are higest in FIBER, but highest
in calorie count too, but fiber is good*

Apples, Fig Cookies, Wheat thins, carrots, swiss chards, spinach....Cabbage/coleslaw...

Hope that helps a wee~bit in some info...

Stuff with crunch in in it....

Oh yes, Weezie, this is a big help hon. Gives me much needed insight.

For example, I did not know that about the romaine lettuce and all the chunky stuff.

Thank you hun. 0:-)

My dad was on Lipitor....
Do me a favor and pay attention to your
body/muscles....If you experience any stiffening
or soreness, don't hesitate to tell your doct..
and memory stuff...If you are more forgetful
than normal....

I read up alot on it....
And as always with the INTERNET, you wonder
exactly what is true and what isn't....
But here's one I will post for you, and have
read similar types of questions about it...

Bad News About Statin Drugs

There's a ton of info on it out there...
I have lot's of it, if you'd like...

But just keep optimist about it...
and remember to PUSH THAT FOOD ALONG!!!

Also....... look into a supplement called
Co Q-10

The Lipitor when you're on it supposedly
depletes the Co Q~10 *hence systoms of
memory loss* so if you take a supplement
it is supposed to help in that area..

We take it here..
I can't say we take it every day,
but we do take it..

Here's a little ditty to read too...
*the prints' small so get out your reading
glasses* whew

But some good basic info..

Thank you Weezie, I really do appreciate all your help and will read it all. 0:-)

I have cut out all my supplements right now, as I am on my second week of helidac meds, for H.pylori infection. :-(

Okay, what's that stuff??

The infection was causing me severe stomach pain (which I thought was caused by my 4 cm hiatal hernia).

The helidac meds will stop me from getting an ulcer from the infection (I hope).

The meds are yucky though (16 pills a day for 2 weeks), plus I take the lipitor at bed time (1) and 1 protonix in the a.m. for the acid reflux.

18 pills a day ... I'm losing it here! ;-0

Yep .... I'm a real mess. lol
