Good News About Bad News

I have to eat crow. I recently posted a topic Good News - Bad News - where I talked about my recent colonoscopy and endoscopy. I said that the doctor had not taken a biospy of the stomach though he found and diagnosed gastritis. I was wrong. He simply failed to record that he taken both stomach and intestinal biopsies. I found this out when my GP received the lab report on the gastritis biospy. So I take it back - he is only somewhat incompetent. He failed to provide the complete information and then he prescribed Prilosec but once he had the biopsy results he did not order an antibiotic. Now I have to try and get a hold of him and get another prescription. The gastritis is H. Pylori - bacterial infection. Prilosec is not an antibiotic and by itself it is useless of curing an infection. H, Pylori It is not that uncommon in the general population but my GP tells me that in this area where I live (southern PA, U.S.) it something rarely ever seen. No one knows why that is.

Endoscopy results should be in by the end of the week. Claire

Make him eat it. Not prescribing an antibiotic was plain negligence on his part. Besides, I've heard crow tastes terrible.

Yea Claire--Not prescribing the antibiotic while he KNEW you had the H-pilori is in my opinion worse. And why do you have to chase him down for the prescription, anyway? Jeesh!

It is the most god-awful meat you could ever imagine. I think it is because they are scavengers and aren't picky. Words cannot describe what those birds taste like.

I've never met a person who ever admitted to tasting crow. :ph34r:

Claire -- have eaten enough crow in my life -- definitely not fun. However, given his bigtime mistake of no antibiotics, you don't have to eat ANY. Interesting fact . . . Veterinarians knew 20 years ago that h. pylori caused ulcers in pigs.

I'm not sure if an Altoid is strong enough.

I agree, no reason to eat crow--unless it is a dish you really enjoy, as it is gluten free. :blink:

On another thread, someone's cat was dx with celiac by the veterinarian, and someone said maybe we should see veterinarians. I am beginning to agree. Veterinarian school is harder to get into than med school, since there is only one vet school in each state. The ones that excel make it. :)

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
