I lived in Japan for a couple fo years while in the Navy. Spent some time in the Phillipines :rolleyes: ; Korea ;) , Oz :D to name a few. I have travelled to Ireland, England and various islands in the Caribbien. if down in Oz, try to get over to New Zealand and/or New Caledonia. I really like New Cal beautiful place, not too many tourists mainly Aussies, Japanese and a few French. Lots of diving and a good casino.

Thanks for the tip. I just looked up New Caledonia and it sounds like a beautiful place. I spent a week in New Zealand once but that was not long enough. I think I need to go there too :D

Good luck with your appointment Rachel! I like your idea. If your doctor questions anything you say just tell him/her that you're getting all your medical advice from Floridian, JerseyAngel, Mango, Vyderscope etc. etc. and I'm sure he/she will take you seriously after that :lol:

Yeah...I might not even go to my appt. cuz what do I need a doctor for anyway? :lol:

Funny you say that, there was an article I was reading that says that hormons play a huge part in alcohol tolerance, that's why most women can't drink as much as men... I'll have to try to find that article.

What does that mean? I'm full of male hormones?? :huh:

BTW Vincent you'll have to share your recipe for making Kalhua (sp?) in case I ever get better enough to drink it. I LOVE that stuff....white russians were one of my favorite drinks. I like the sweet stuff....either that or beer. You wont see me drinking any of the hard stuff...Tequila makes me want to puke. Could be that I over did it once as a teen though. Never liked it since. <_<

I will leave no stone unturned! If theres even a remote chance by some freaky coincidence that those cysts have something to do with my allergies....well, I want them gone. B)

Yep--I agree that I'd do almost anything to figure this all out. I have to have another ultrasound in 5-6 months, and I plan on talking seriuosly about having my cysts and fibroid removed. Just scared she'll end up wanting me to have a hysterectomy.

Don't they want you to go on hormones after a hysterectomy? I wouldn't want that either.

Andrea, That is exactly what I don't want. I want to keep all my own "parts"--just the stuff that's not supposed to be there taken off. Does that make sense?

Makes perfectly good sense to me. As much as I hate the monthly cycle I would like to keep all my parts too...unless they turn cancerous on me or something.

I had an enlarged thyroid before my last pregnancy along with elevated AST and ALT. Had all sorts of bloodwork done..they chalked it up to fatty liver since they couldn't figure anything else out. Levels were normal again last year (Sept). Wouldn't surprise me if it was soy or gluten that increased them. Maybe the pregnancy just threw everything off because I was consuming tons of soy and/or gluten products during my pregnancy. The only vegan one I had, he also scored lowest on the apgar compared to the other two. My daughter was a lacto-ovo preg and scored 9, my oldest son was an ovo preg (I ate about 8 eggs per week) and he scored 10, my youngest son as I said was a vegan preg and he scored 8 at five minutes. Anyone want to try and figure that out. I could always have another one with a meat eating diet and see what the apgar is. :P Much as I love babies, I'm getting to old, my parents would kill me (almost did with my third :P ) and the doctors wouldn't be too happy. I've already had 3 c-sections. My daughter was breech, partial separation of the placenta and undergoing stress with prelabor so I had no choice with her and didn't want to take the chance with a VBAC. They considered me high risk as it was because of my age I think. Don't know why...I think that is old school thought. Unless it was because it was going to be my 3rd section. No problems for me whatsoever with any of the surgeries and recoveries aside from overdoing it with my oldest son.

Andrea,

My grandmother had her 7th child when she was 47, she had this one (my mother) at home and natural as with all the rest of her children. I come from a long line of baby makers :P

WHAT???? so there is still hope for me? (44 years old)

Now that I'm gluten-free and not drinking, I think that my, um, selection process for dating candidates will be MUCH healthier than before...... :rolleyes: but I had totally ruled out having children....problem is, I really want grandchildren!! :blink:

Never give up. Sarah was 90. :P

You could also adopt if nothing else...I know it's not the same as having your own, but still a precious child.

Be a girl scout leader/somehow involved in a boy scout pack/lead for campfire/YMCA...

Personally, I have 12 little girls, all 9-10 years old :blink:

Just me, but my girl scout leader was at my graduation and was invited to my wedding. Instant kids without all the trouble of childbirth and diaper changing :P

      My journey is it gluten or fiber?

      Try adding some Thiamine Hydrochloride (thiamine HCl) and see if there's any difference. Thiamine HCl uses special thiamine transporters to get inside cells. I take it myself. Tryptophan will help heal the intestines. Tryptophan is that amino acid in turkey that makes you sleepy after Thanksgiving dinner. I take mine with magnesium before bedtime...

      Desperately need a vitamin D supplement. I've reacted to most brands I've tried.

      I live in the upper mid-west and was just diagnosed with marsh 3c celiac less than a month ago. As a 51 year old male, I now take a couple of different gluten free vitamins. I have not noticed any reaction to either of these items. Both were purchased from Amazon. 1. Nature Made Multivitamin For Him with No Iron 2. Gade Nutrition Organic Quercetin...

      results from 13 day gluten challenge - does this mean I can't have celiac?

      I am doing a gluten challenge right now and I bought vital wheat gluten so I can know exactly how much gluten I am getting. One tablespoon is 7g so 1½ tablespoons of Vital Wheat Gluten per day will get you to 10g You could add it to bean burgers as a binder or add to hot chocolate or apple sauce and stir.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Raising you vitamin D will increase absorption of calcium automatically without supplementation of calcium.  A high PTH can be caused by low D causing poor calcium absorption; not insuffient calcium intake.  With low D your body is not absorbing calcium from your food so it steals it from your bones.  Heart has priority over bone. I've been taking 10,000 IU D3 a day since 2015.  My doctor says to continue. To fix my lactose intolerance, lots of lactobacillus from yogurts, and brine fermented pickles and saurkraut and olives.  We lose much of our ability to make lactase endogenosly with maturity but a healthy colony of lactobacillus in our gut excretes lactase in exchange for room and board. The milk protein in grass fed milk does not bother me. It tastes like the milk I grew up on.  If I drink commercial milk I get heartburn at night. Some experts estimate that 90% of us do not eat Adequite Intake of choline.  Beef and eggs are the principle source. Iodine deficiency is a growing concern.  I take 600 mcg a day of Liquid Iodine.  It and NAC have accelerated my healing all over.  Virtually blind in my right eye after starting antihypertensive medication and vision is slowly coming back.  I had to cut out starches because they drove my glucose up into the 200+ range.  I replaced them with Red Bull for the glucose intake with the vitamins, minerals and Taurine needed to process through the mitochodria Krebs Cycle to create ATP.  Went from A1c 13 down to 7.9.  Work in progress. Also take B1,B2,B3,B5,B6. Liquid Iodine, Phosphatidyl Choline, Q10, Selenium, D and DHEA.     Choline supplemented as phosphatidylcholine decreases fasting and postmethionine-loading plasma homocysteine concentrations in healthy men +
