[QUOTE="DaisyFace, post: 321631, member: 6546"] Hi JoG-- Without having met your daughter and knowing very little about her personally....the listing of her diet smacks of dehydration. First symptoms of dehydration are headaches and dizziness. And if all she's eating is sugar and carbs, no wonder you see mood swings--from sluggish to 'sugar high', I would imagine... And then any withdrawal from caffeine or nicotine also causes headaches...so if she goes too long without either one, well, it's pain time--time for Advil--which can upset anyone's stomache if they take it without food...so now she's eating even less. It sounds as if your daughter has gotten herself into a viscious cycle of first causing herself pain and then taking the "wrong" things to relieve the pain, thus causing more pain....and on and on and on. While a visit to a dietician might be in order, in my humble opinion she is going to have to be willing to break a few addictions (sugar, caffeine, and nicotine) to really experience any changes or see a lot of improvement. Good luck!! --DaisyFace [/QUOTE]
