Has anyone ever felt compltely embarrased around people that you know baout having Tric? There are a few people that I work w/ that know about my Tric & they don't put me down about it, but I still can help feeling embarssed about it, even feeling like I am the only person that has it.

Really? hm. when i told people, or they found out, i felt relieved. Like i didn't have to hide a huge secret anymore. Maybe you could try thinking of it that way? That's good that they aren't putting you down :) so obviously it isn't making them think any less of you!

Yes, I have felt embarrassed. Not all the time but I feel kind of embarrassed like they feel too sorry for me or something sometimes.

My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
