<p>I guess those two seem like separate questions, but my mother has been nagging me to not eat too many nutrient dense foods in the same meal because she believes that the body can't properly absorb it all at once and so it becomes a waste! </p> <p>Also, in regards to water, I have heard that drinking too much water can dilute stomach acid, but can it also flush the minerals/vitamins out of our system faster before we've had a chance to absorb all of it? </p> <p>Thanks! </p>

<p>The caveat is that the orthodontist recommends I remove my wisdom teeth in hopes that it would fix my open bite. Right now, only the last set of wisdom teeth touch when I bite down. It wasn't always this way. I wore an improperly fitted nightguard (due to grinding) which caused my open bite. I literally want to kick myself for doing that! My teeth are not crowded and I definitely have room to house my wisdom teeth, which is why I am hesitant to remove them. </p> <p>Also, I am missing two lower incisors (I hear my parents had them yanked out cuz they grew funny when I was young) and there are gaps on my lower front teeth where two teeth should be. The orthodontist wants to just push all my teeth forward to close the gap, but I'm wondering whether this is a good idea. He seems to think it can be done, which I suppose is cheaper than getting implants, but I just wonder what the long term results would be to my bone and gums. Right now, I am noticing gum recession on my bottom front teeth. I'm afraid it will get worse if I do nothing, but not sure what to do! Do you guys have any experience with this? </p> <p><em>Edit</em> To semi-"paleo-fy" this question, do you think a Weston A. Price diet/Paleo diet can help stop the affects of bone/gum recession due to missing teeth/gaps? I've heard of the WAP diet healing cavities, but just wondering if it could stop bone recession as well. </p>

<p>I'm currently experiencing stinging/burning/tingling pain in my nipple and breast, with what I can only assume is thrush. My baby is fussy during feedings and cries at the end of them, and that makes me very sad to know he might be in pain. :( I've stocked up on probiotics and am considering initial treatment using a grapefruit seed extract protocol detailed on this site: <a href="http://drjaygordon.com/breastfeeding/thrush.html/comment-page-1#comments" rel="nofollow">http://drjaygordon.com/breastfeeding/thrush.html/comment-page-1#comments</a></p> <p>What were your experiences with thrush while breastfeeding? Did you try to eliminate it naturally or with medications? I'm not opposed to medication because I just want this to go away, but figured I'd try some other avenues first. I'm also reducing my intake of sugars (kinda went overboard on fruit the first month after giving birth). Bought kefir and kombucha, though I'm slightly afraid the kombucha will make it worse because it is made of yeast, though a different strain. The hardest part of being a new mom for me are these breastfeeding issues - thrush, clogged milk ducts, painful nipples!! Honestly, this is harder on me than the sleep deprivation! :( Any advice for me, or commiseration? I so just want to be able to hold my baby against my chest without the shooting pains!! </p>

<p>I'm not really asking this question for myself...YET, as I don't have any missing teeth at the moment. I'm just asking for my mother. I was wondering whether this would be a viable option, or if it's just better to accept missing teeth. Does anyone have any experience with this or suggestions/opinions? </p>

<p>So I'm currently breastfeeding my newborn right now, and sometimes he doesn't finish his bottle of expressed breast milk. It feels like such a waste to just toss it, so obviously, I've been tempted, but I've never had the guts to try it! I've heard people say that it tastes "sweet", but does that mean it tastes good? Anyone with experience care to comment? Human breast milk is more nutritious than cow's milk, right? =P </p>

<p>This might be a silly question, but I've been wondering whether it all balances out in the end. So, I've been making bone broth in the crockpot with one huge chunk of knuckle bone with some meat attached to it, and then adding some chicken feet. I cook the first batch for 12 hours, and then using the same bones, I cook another batch for another 12 hours. Obviously the second batch is more diluted, but I tend to pour some from the first and second batch into the same cup when I want to drink it. And, I drink a lot of it throughout the day as it practically replaces my water intake. This method is to get the maximum amount of broth. It does not gel. </p> <p>So, first question is....should I even bother with the second batch, or should I just cook the 1st for longer? </p> <p>I've been seeing recipes that involve using a LOT more bones in the crockpot (like, filling up half the pot with bones), and I'm certain if I stick more bones in, I would get my broth to gel. Is this concentrated version better? I would probably drink it less, because it would make less broth this way! Bones aren't super duper cheap where I'm from! </p> <p>So, all this to ask, does each method/amount kinda balance itself out? Should I drink more of the diluted stuff, or less of the concentrated stuff, or does it even matter? </p>

<p>Okay, so I suppose 80% of my questions will involve my mother somehow! >_&lt; She's a hardcore skeptic, and is super concerned with her cholesterol numbers. (By the way, her total is 224, HDL ~50 since menopause). She was pretty horrified to learn that I ingest all the hardened fat layer from my beef broth and that I eat organ meats, so she has begun to "nag". Hahaha. Her proof that cholesterol-filled foods affect her physically is through the outbreaks around her eyes that I've learned are called xanthelasma palpebra - which are supposedly cholesterol deposits. I can't seem to argue if that's what they are, and it seems to be a real phenomena in others. She says these occur when she's had too much cholesterol, and she has been trying to eat more meat since I've been visiting for the week, so what gives?? Are they a cause for concern? </p>

<p>Yep, another question related to breastfeeding! There will probably be more! :D (For those who read my previous questions, my body fought off the infection on its own and my nipples are doing so much better!!! :D But, I did use some prescription ointment to help it heal!) </p> <p>So doctors and lactation consultants have been recommending soy lecithin for plugged ducts and swear it's safe. I avoid eating soy for the most part except for the occasional soy sauce, so to take 3-4 1200mg capsules of soy lecithin per day seems a lot to me? But then again, I find that I'm constantly dealing with plugged ducts on my right breast (especially at night time when the baby is now sleeping for longer stretches) and I'm seriously afraid of getting mastitis, so the promise of this stuff working sounds tempting! Supposedly I could just taper off it when it gets better after a few weeks? I just don't know!! Why does my right breast hate me?? But, seriously, should I take the stuff? Or, do you have any other recommendations on how to prevent plugged ducts? I know nursing helps to get rid of them, but I'd like to prevent them from happening in the first place! Any suggestions or tips? Thanks! :)</p>

<p>Just two weeks ago, I posted about potential thrush from breastfeeding here: <a href="http://paleohacks.com/questions/145381/breastfeeding-moms-how-did-you-deal-with-thrush#axzz25TD7C3PM" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/questions/145381/breastfeeding-moms-how-did-you-deal-with-thrush#axzz25TD7C3PM</a></p> <p>So, the good news is that it probably isn't thrush. Bad news is, looks like it might be an infection instead. It's not mastitis (yet), though the doctor did prescribe a 10 day round of antibiotics to treat what she believes is an infection based solely off of the fact that I had a fever of 102 yesterday. I took ibuprofen and the fever subsided, so now I'm still wondering whether I should go on the antibiotics. I'm pretty sure I have a plugged duct to deal with, which is the sore area, but I'm hoping that if I get that taken care of, hopefully I won't need to take the medication. I'm soooooooo afraid of getting actual thrush after antibiotics!!! </p> <p>Don't get me wrong, if this were seriously bad, like actual mastitis, I'd take the antibiotics in a heartbeat, but because it's not quite there yet, I'm hesitant to do so. She seemed too quick to just give me the prescription so she could be on her way. I just don't know! Any suggestions? What did you ladies do to treat your plugged ducts or infections? Breastfeeding is soooo hard for me, but I did see a lactation consultant today, and that certainly helped! I just can't wait until I'm all healed up so I can be the best mommy that I can be! These breastfeeding setbacks are really taking a toll on me! :( </p>

<p>Yay! Congrats!!! :D I also turned to PaleoHacks when I first found out I was pregnant, so I'm sure you'll get lotsa good support here! :) When I could tolerate it (towards the second half of my pregnancy), I ate ALL of the things on the so-called "forbidden" list that you mentioned. I would have pastured raw egg yolks in my breakfast smoothies, cooked liver, oily fish in the form of sardines and wild-caught salmon, and I practically drank raw milk like it was water! :P Just be sure you trust the sources of your food, and it should be okie-dokey. </p>

<p>So, I gave birth 5 days ago, but I'm concerned that I haven't had a bowel movement since the first day. I did take two stool softener pills while at the hospital and they were loose stools, but I haven't been able to go since, and it's very frustrating for me since I used to go daily on the clock even during pregnancy. I've been hesitant to use a stool softener such as Collace, but I do have the prescription filled and ready to use. I just hate messing with my gut bacteria that I've been working on for the past couple of months. Should I be concerned? I'm not constipated and feel no urge to go. I'm kinda not looking forward to hard stools since I'm still recovering from a vaginal delivery. (TMI, I know!) Oh, I also have a prescription for a suppository, but obviously I don't wanna do that!! Yuck!! >_&lt; Help? Take prescription laxative/stool softener? Any tips or other ideas to move things along as painlessly as possible??? </p>

<p>I'm at the tail end of my pregnancy (literally 2 weeks left!) and I remember consulting PaleoHacks where I admitted that Paleo food grossed me out and I felt pretty guilty about it. The good news is that it does get better - foodwise! I was lucky enough to have avoided morning sickness entirely, although I do recall some gagging while brushing my teeth, but yeah, those food aversions were powerful! The weeks before conceiving and even a month after finding out I was pregnant, I did so well in my mind, but then, after that first month, I could not stand vegetables, chicken, eggs, and my usual nutrient-dense salads. I was so disappointed in myself. Around Week 18, I was eating better, and nearing my third trimester, I was able to eat mostly Paleo - most of the fertility/pregnancy foods such as wild-caught salmon, liver, pastured eggs, fermented veggies + dairy, fermented cod liver oil + butter oil......though I admit I'm not too fond of the fermented veggies! I did loosen the reins a bit by eating a lot of fruit though! I LOVE fruit! :D </p> <p>I know each experience is different for each woman, sometimes regardless of diet. Though I would LOVE to be reassured that the birthing process will be super smooth and easy because of my diet...I'm not holding my breath. Hahaha. </p> <p>Good luck! Keep us updated! :)</p>

<p>So, I happened to have gotten pregnant shortly after this question I asked: <a href="http://paleohacks.com/questions/74349/im-ovulating-how-important-was-my-nutrition-prior#axzz1f75aJVUP" rel="nofollow">http://paleohacks.com/questions/74349/im-ovulating-how-important-was-my-nutrition-prior#axzz1f75aJVUP</a> Gee, how lucky, eh? =P I think I'm on Week 8 currently. Anyway, I'm feeling guilty (yet again) because I haven't been eating my usual Paleo-fare. In fact, I can't seem to stand eating those things anymore. I'll blame it on food aversion, but as an example, I used to eat pastured eggs and a side of broccoli with butter for breakfast, and now, it's all out the window!! :( I have incorporated white rice and made some fried rice as a means of adding some eggs back into my diet, but it's not my favorite. I haven't been eating any meat (even beloved bacon), and I can't even think about a piece of salmon anymore! (I used to love salmon!) Never mind organ meats, which I was gonna incorporate, but am pretty sure I'd fail. I used to drink bone broth daily, but the smell of the lard-y part of the broth gets to me. Luckily, the taste is good. The only "vegetables" I've eaten is spinach in the wilted form thrown in soup. The good news is that I'm not really showing any symptoms for morning sickness, so I keep my food in. I've been taking a multi-vitamin, cod liver oil, plus additional vitamin D. As for what I've been really eating, I'm kinda ashamed....GLUTEN!! LOTS of it, in the form of pasta!! :( Plus ice cream. Plus goats milk. Maybe the occasional bag of chips too! I'm also reading Deep Nutrition by Catherine Shanahan, and now I'm feeling more guilty! I'm hoping this phase will pass soon, but I know how crucial this first trimester is. Help! Any advice? Words of comfort? Stern words or a gentle slap back into Paleo-reality? </p>

<p>Okay, I hope someone has a quicky answer to this! I recently ordered the Green Pasture - Blue Ice Royal - Butter Oil/Fermented Cod Liver Oil Blend in Cinnamon Tingle Gel form.

<p>I'm 26 weeks pregnant and recently had a blood test which indicated low ferritin levels. I got a 22 - the reference range is 10-154 ng/mL, though I don't know if those numbers account for pregnancy, but I recognize it's on the low-end anyway. I admit, I haven't been supplementing with iron. The "prenatal" vitamin I have been taking is Pure Encapsulations Nutrient 950 with Vitamin K, which is what Chris Kresser recommended from the Healthy Baby Code. I knew it didn't have iron in it, but I went along with it. I've also been supplementing with Vitamin D, cod liver oil, butter oil, and magnesium, but I've grossly ignored iron. Plus, I happen to drink a lot of raw milk throughout the day, so that probably doesn't help either in the iron absorbing department! I'm just hoping that the baby is leeching what he needs from me!! </p> <p>I was wondering what sort of iron supplements you would recommend? Sure, I know food is the most important source. I just need to space it appropriately from my milk drinking habit. How many hours would you give it? I don't want to supplement per se, but I'm just wanting a quick boost of it, and I wonder if food will give me the amounts I need in such a short period of time. What do you think? I've been incorporating spinach into my smoothies. What are some other Pregnancy/Paleo-approved sources of iron (aside from liver!)? </p>

<p>So, I was just preparing to make some bone broth when I recalled that my crockpot was peeling in certain places on the inside, kinda like when teflon pans start peeling after awhile. I wasn't aware this could happen to a crockpot and I know I would never wanna cook with a peeled teflon pan, or cook with teflon at all! So, I'm wondering if this is okay and if anyone has ever encountered this issue. How could I have prevented this? I've only been using my crockpot more for about 3 months to make bone broths. Should I still use it? I dunno if I wanna risk it, unless you guys inform me it's okay to do so! </p>

<p>Right now, as I'm typing this, my fingers are covered in chip residue. =P I am definitely in the midst of a binge-session and don't intend to stop...until tomorrow, because it's a "new day". It's ridiculous how WEAK my mind is!!! I can't just have ONE treat....if I go in that direction, I have to go all the way! An example of something harmless are grapes. I love summer because it's organic grape season, but if I buy a pound of it, I can finish eating that in one session, and if I buy a 4 lb container from Costco, it could be gone in two days! Now, I'm sure one or two portion of grapes are harmless, but then I have to go eat the rest of it too! And, after the grapes, I'm left prowling for more junk food. I've heard that cravings last approximately 10-20 minutes, but mine lasts until I get my hands on exactly what I want. I attribute part of my problem with perfectionism and consistency. There was a 2 month period when I was quite proud of myself for eating Paleo most of the time, and so when I allowed myself to indulge (usually at some sort of social gathering), I was completely fine. I fell off my track record and am having trouble getting back on for the long haul. I would start the day perfectly, and have a good lunch or dinner, but even a little suggestion can set me back! I feel like I'm not taking my health seriously enough. I think it might depend on the triggers of the person who binge eats. I find that unless I build a good track record, even ONE little thing can cause a landslide. I'm better off going 100% for a week at least, and then slowly training myself that a little indulgence <em>might</em> be okay. Ideally, I would like to only allow myself these indulgences when I am socially obligated to. I had these binge eating problems too before going Paleo, but they just seem to be more magnified nowadays. >_&lt;</p>

<p>Weird question....So I know how important it is to eat well if one is trying to conceive, but I admit I have been going over to the dark side quite a bit by not eating Paleo entirely and indulging in say....highly processed chips, cakes, and ice cream. Once I did the ovulation test with the happy face indicating I was ovulating, I decided to completely stop in my tracks with the bad eating. So, my question is, how important was my nutrition prior to conception and how much of an effect will a "bad" diet prior have an effect on my future fetus? Let's say my husband was eating this way as well! I'm going to try to eat super duper well when I'm actually pregnant, but I guess I'm kinda a worry-wart, wondering what sort of damage I might have done prior. Any insight or words of comfort will help, though I know I'm being ridiculous here! :) </p>

<p>Hi ya'll. This is my first time asking a question here, and this is the question that prompted a need for an immediate response! =P I purchased a 5lb leg of lamb roast from Costco several days ago and let it sit in my fridge. Yes, big mistake for letting it sit too long. >_&lt; I finally took it out today and discovered that part of the bottom was a bit green and definitely smelly. Not wanting to waste the entire 5 lbs, I cut and threw away the obvious spoiled parts, but now I'm unsure as to whether to keep the rest or not. The rest of it smells....alright. It still smells bleh to me, but maybe that's the way carcass is suppose to smell? It certainly doesn't smell as bad as the spoiled part - that was almost barf-inducing! What do you think? </p> <p>Another question that relates to this is whether it's okay to cut off the moldy parts of a fruit/vegetable and use the rest of it?? Hahahaha, can you tell this issue comes up a lot for me? =P </p>

I have them. My wisdom teeth are out and they are the ones that are causing the open bite. Supposedly, the upper wisdom teeth that the mouthguard didn't reach slid back, so now only the top and bottom wisdom teeth touch when I bite down. I know I'm not explaining it well so it's confusing. Sorry!

I admit, this question isn't really &quot;paleo&quot;, but I just like to turn to my paleo peeps whenever I have a medical/body/teeth related question. I like to consider other angles, along with professional medical advice of course. I sorta paleo-fied the question at the en though, so I hope that's okay.

Awww, thanks, fellow coconut lover! :D Yes, I wish there was a definitive answer to this. I'd do it in a heartbeat. I just don't want to have to remove my wisdom teeth willy-nilly. Glad you had great results! It's definitely encouraging to hear!

My wisdom teeth are fully out! :)

Great answer! What about folks who only eat one or two large meals a day?

I live in the Bay Area, and I get bones for $2.99 a pound. I guess that ain't too much, but with the way I drink broth, it adds up! =P Plus, I can't fit it all in my freezer! Making it is no trouble to me since I just throw it into the crockpot. :)

Hmmm, don't know why there are random links in the question I wrote, but I assure you, I didn't do it! ;)

Can't wait to hear the responses to your question! I'm very curious as well and want to breastfeed for as long as possible! And, since you mentioned baby-led weaning, that sounds so intriguing! Have you had any issues with that? Does your little one like everything that you offer her? Is her digestion of the foods you give her okay? Sorry so many questions! I could probably look this up (and will do!)...but, I would like to hear your personal experience! Thanks! :)

Thanks for your input and for husbands like you to help out their wives! My husband has been a great help to me as well during this time, and thankfully, it has gotten a lot better without my having to take the antibiotics for now. The doctor I saw was not my regular OB doctor as I made the appointment last minute. I absolutely trust my regular doctor though! :) I will be seeing him next week for my 6 week postpartum checkup and see what he thinks!

I admit, I was kinda skimping on the hydration, and I was super exhausted too, but with the help of my husband, I think I'm doing a lot better! I sometimes find it difficult to find a moment to take care of my affected breast without my husband around to watch the baby though. Thanks for your advice! I always appreciate it! :D

Thanks! You're absolutely right! It's so important to get help ASAP! That's the one piece of advice I will definitely pass along to my girlfriends!

This potato idea is intriguing! :) I think I'll try it! First I have to look up the word &quot;poultice&quot; though!

It's great to hear your perspective, and I hear ya on the painful nipples, but I assume your pain was a LOT worse since you had actual thrush! :( Hope things got a lot better for you though! Thanks for always responding to my pregnancy/baby related questions! :D

Thanks for the encouragement! :) I've been taking all those steps and I guess I just need to be patient with clearing the ducts, though I admit, I do get excited when my breast finally feels softer, like I'm making progress!
