The recipe online says 4 cups of sesame seeds, roasted 8 - 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven (until fragrant, but don't brown, shake frequently.) Put in processor or blender and add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup vegetable (or olive) oil. Blend 5 minutes until a thick pour consistency. Can be stored in a jar in the refrigerator for several months.<br />I suppose you can use any amount of sesame seeds and add just enough oil to get a thick pour.<br />God bless and Happy Easter. ~ BonnieAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-34463421950760430302015-04-03T14:21:01.577-04:002015-04-03T14:21:01.577-04:00I love hummus too.

Some places they really hike up the price, but where I shop there's a ethnic foods aisle (apparently lots of Middle Eastern people live nearby so the store stocks ingredients for their cuisine) and I got a big bottle (about 32 oz) for $5.00. <br />The recipe for hummus is on the bottle, but it's basically a can of chick peas, a clove of garlic, 2 tbs. of lemon juice (fresh is better but bottled works too), a little salt (or none at all) and about 1/3 cup of tahini (sesame seed paste). I use a food processor because it's easier to scoop out and grinds it better and faster, but you can use a <br />blender to make this. <br />The Middle Eastern people usually serve this spread onto a plate, drizzled with olive oil (just a little) and sprinkled with paprika. I love this stuff.<br />God bless. ~ Bonnie<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-73532789284640798692015-04-01T23:54:14.013-04:002015-04-01T23:54:14.013-04:00Whenever you can get around to it, she'll be p...Whenever you can get around to it, she'll be pleased to look over the results to see if anything jumps out at her. In a university setting, as she currently is, she also has a number of AuDs and PhDs (and an ENT) with varied experience around her, and they bounce things off each other all the time. <br /><br />Mariedixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-38189659367577532022015-04-01T02:24:41.811-04:002015-04-01T02:24:41.811-04:00I used to suffer with migraine pain a lot.

I thought that's what happened with everyone, but the doctor said that sometimes with severe cases it doesn't go away, and then they have to go in and severe the nerve. And I definitely need to go double check medications. I was just told last week that I couldn't nurse for twenty four hours after a certain injection and then I double checked and saw the the American Association of Radiology said that it was totally fine to nurse right away.

Send her a Facebook message if you'd like, as she has had several patients with Meniere's. <br /><br />You can make your own hummus and still enjoy it while keeping sodium down. (I'm sure you know that...) We have to watch sodium here, too, and have found that Mrs. Dash makes a variety of really wonderful seasonings that add plenty of flavor without added salt. I so hope that you can get some relief without having to wean James, but only you can make that decision.<br /><br />God bless!<br /><br />Marie<br /><br />dixieaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12923834034976250382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-14496607109267293582015-03-31T09:24:58.370-04:002015-03-31T09:24:58.370-04:00I am so glad you are getting some answers (and tha...I am so glad you are getting some answers (and that the MRI showed no tumor).

The lower salt diet really made a difference for her, and I don't believe that they ever put her on any medication for it. She eventually seemed to no longer have a problem with it, although that coincided with her hearing getting much, much worse. One day while she still had it she had an attack that came on really suddenly while driving from her house to ours (about an hour and a half away) and she had to pull off the interstate. She got rescued by a state trooper who called me and my husband and I had to drive to where she was in order to get her and her car. However, it really was something that eventually just was totally gone. She even was back to eating relatively salty food with no particular impact. Oh, and btw before you decide to wean be sure to check LactMed or Infant Risk about the medication. A lot of doctors think you have to wean when you really don't. The list of medications that actually require weaning is actually pretty small.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05127202199834183627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8188078120365131355.post-81272241895486050082015-03-31T08:29:33.130-04:002015-03-31T08:29:33.130-04:00So glad there was no tumor!!!
