  • Thank you for the information I know that formula is HORRIBLE but I don’t really have any other choice.. I never had any breast milk (I tried everything.. even having my mom send me a pump from America) but I never got more than a tablespoon full. I…
  • Hi rawveganmama.. My little treasure is 4 months in a week but because she just kept reaching for the foods we eat and fussing when she didn’t get any we’ve starting giving her “tastes” basically not enough to really eat just enough to give her a ne…
  • Hi again Samilicious, my mother-in-law is totally from Iran, she came from Shinov near the Iran-Iraq border. But most of my Iraqi in-laws here do the same thing, the cultures are very similiar in alot of things. I’m the outsider, I moved here from t…
  • Finally a topic I can really reply to!! We drink AT LEAST 3 cups a day, as per the culture here. It’s almost always loose black tea but I love to mix it up and add things like Cardamom or cinnamon bark (both raw and dried and whole not powedered) or…
  • Just out of curiosity… where are you? Your weather sounds very much like the weather we’re suffering (uh I mean having) here in Kurdistan. I’ve been keeping busy with my baby.. she’s now 3 and a half months old and learning that the world is much bi…
  • That’s just too hilarious! What I wouldn’t give to have seen your husband’s face when he got that news! but I agree it sure beats using tomato juice which never seems to get all the smell out and our dog seemed to have had a fear of tomatos for some…
  • That is too cute…But then again I know folks who HAVE master cleansed (with a bit of modifications) their cat+dogs! I gotta remember this pea thing cause I have had betas in the past who’ve been flushed or left to suffer (didn’t want to flush them s…
  • Hi again.. I was on my mobile when I posted the last message so I wanted to pop in again and give you the link to Omshanti’s page if you were interested in browsing her goodies.. it’s http://www.granolasspecialtyfoods.com and you can email her for m…

  • I wasn’t going to reply to any topics today but when I saw this one I just had to offer my suggestion… If you’d like to buy some scrumptious raw goodies for yourself our own omshanti just happens to sell raw treats and you can order from her website…

  • When I was in Sac. I was thrilled when a Whole Foods opened up near to my house, that is until I tried shopping there. I don’t know where they were hiding these bins I keep hearing so much about… Cause I was paying way too much for my raw almonds! N…
  • When I started raw fooding I was in Myrtle Creek, ORE. Which is really a little hole-in-the-wall town that is about 2 hours away from Eugene. I took several trips to Eugene while I was there (it’s also where the Boutenko’s live) and the whole raw fo…
  • I totally agree bluedolfin! A FAQ section would be a really good thing, or maybe a keyword search or browse topics by keyword search? I personally never get tired of seeing new members asking the same questions for 3 reasons: a) it means they are co…

  • It’s almost impossible to be too anal with a newborn requiring all of you time and a housefull of inlaws taking the rest but I still have my moments. :D the whole imputing thing also is influenced by the fact that we don’t have electricity until 5pm…

  • The whole team anal thing is just too funny so I really had to comment. It’s nice to find something to laugh about. Lately I don’t seem to be laughing so much as being blue or worse so I wanted to say thanks for the smile! That being said I have to …

  • Hi again hkittykitty I live in beautiful Soran, Kurdistan, North Iraq. We get sun so getting vitamin D isn’t such a problem however because of reasons I have to schedule my walks for times my husband is home or atleast times when my mom/sister in la…
  • Hi everyone! It’s been a while but I’m here and feeling better. My depression is almost gone but I’m able to manage it now, well except for an emotional episode a couple of times. The biggest thing that’s still a problem is my self-esteem. I’m total…
  • Just when I was set to try a walk, we got rain (Baraan).. LOL well I guess we can try again when the weather clears a bit but I’m worried that soon the rain will be snow and I’ll be stuck indoors again.. It’s strange how my nice, cozy bedroom has st…
  • Unfortunately it’s really becoming too cold for walks outside especially with a newborn. We’re at a chilly 12C today. We’ve been walking around the house especially when she’s sleepy or when I burp her, but it’s not the same. I’ve been trying to kee…
  • Thanks everyone.. I’m finding it so difficult to make this work. I know that the less she nurses the less milk I’ll have but I think that I didn’t have enough to start with in the first place (I had a breast-reduction surgery at 16 and was told then…
  • Spiritedmama sorry I never got around to answering your questions.. We tried Pictocin first to augment the light contractions I was having but it never panned out, it seems she was still malpositioned and it was difficult for her to decend which is …
  • Pics will be soon but I still don’t know how to post pics yet it seems so it’ll be copy and paste the link when I do.
  • Thanks so much everyone! And thank you bluedolfin for the link, thankfully Baraan only cries when it’s time to eat, but what a set of lungs when she does! It’s still sort of unreal to me that she’s mine and I don’t have to give her back to anyone. W…
  • Born in St. Louis Park, MN. grew up on the west coast: some years in Portland, OR. a few years in San Bernadino, CA. but mostly in Sacramento, CA. then moved to Soran, Kurdistan, N. Iraq in Dec. of 2005. It’s nice to see a lot of people in CA. we ar…
  • I always used aloe for burns and for dry, itchy skin in the winter. I’ve seen aloe juice and aloe gel that said edible in the US but I was never brave enough to try it. It’s a succulant but doesn’t grow here in KRG, although I wish it would.. I didn…
  • Man I miss Sacramento.. Before I left I was enjoying the Whole Foods that was near my house. It’s got a pretty good selection of everything and there was plenty of raw I could find. Plus there are really nice farmer’s markets in various locations al…
  • Odalys I think you have the key to her unhappiness and you don’t even know it.. You said she has no family, no children or husband, and she’s Korean. I have older friends who are Japanese, Taiwanese, and Malaisian. I’ve also met a few Koreans and I …
  • The best “courage” for giving birth without an epidural is to know that the pains of childbirth are a natural thing and nothing you can’t handle, AND learning relaxation techniques while your pregnant so that when the time comes you can be as relaxe…
  • I can only give you second-rate advice compared to spiritedmama, but I can tell you that I didn’t have any glucose testing at all during both of my pregnancies, for two reasons, firstly it’s not really tested for here in KRG unless there’s an obviou…
  • As far as I know (it was tested with Omshanti’s granola and chips actually) you can send/pack any foods that are dehydrated with no problems. As far as I know it’s fresh foods, produce, plants and such that pose a problem with the customs officers..…
  • This is actually the second time I’ve tried to be dairy free… the first time was about 3-4 weeks ago when there was a trade-stop on all products coming from Iran.. which meant that all of the dairy products were unavailable for a while. I didn’t rea…
