OMG guys, you should hear my stomach right now..... Has any of you ever cleared a drain and once it's cleared, you get the GLUB, GLUB, GLUB sound as the water is going down the drain? That is my stomach right now, you can hear it in the next room! Yep, the night has just begun..... <_<

That's why my little ol' mother quit going to church. :P:P:P

Good Googly Moogly ---

Anyone every have Hydrogen breath tests for baterial overgrowth and/or lactose intolerance?

These do not sound like fun! I think I am going to be spinached and pulling a Dave all at once. The testing service just warned me I may be visiting the porcelain god after both tests. :(:blink::o

Picard,

I've not had those tests--and they sound like no fun at all!

At least if you have an idea of what to expect, you won't worry that somethings gone wrong. Who knows, you may not have a bad reaction at all--think positive! ;)

Another Premature Post:

Dear Dave (The),

We welcome you with open arms, and you ridicule the ferocity of our geese? I, in my role of Minister of Defense in charge of our miraculous, protective, Auxigro-detecting geese, deem it advisable to caution you thusly: Tiptoe lightly through our Rachelvillian tulips. The geese and I are ordinarily peaceful inhabitants. Don't make us have to hurt you! :ph34r:

Going to try to walk erect now and get the dingos to the orchard - - lots of staring here....

Sorry. I have heard on Iron Maiden...back in the 80's right. Did they sing We Are the Champions? I liked that song. Now you won't get any important work done because the song lyrics might interrupt your dictation to the overworked legal secretaries. :P Work, what work! Right!

Have a nice walk Susan. I don't know a thing about plasma. I'm running back and forth playing wegits with the kids and reading this thread. It's lunch time for them, a break. Seth should be up soon looking for his lunch. He's on apple/blueberry now. Oh the fun of introducing food. So far he likes everything, but hasn't had much yet since he's only been on solids for a little over a month.

I think Queen did "We are the Champions". I am drafting a motion right now and doing some research. Music makes it go by a little faster.

Yep, you're right. What was I thinking! :o I don't remember if I listened to Iron Maiden or not. That was in my "I'll listen to the music you like" as far as my current love interest at the time. My friend was into a lot of hard rock/heavy metal stuff. I'm trying to remember my favorite at the time. I was an old Styx fan but don't like any of that music anymore. I was more into soft rock I guess. I forget all the music names. I won't bore you guys with who I liked. I'd probably get laughed out of town. :unsure: My music tastes have totally changed and my current likes would be to mellow for most if not all of you. Simple says a lot.

I listened to a lot of different types of music everything from punk (Seven Seconds, husker Du, DK), hard rock/heavy metal (Maiden, Judas Priest, Quiet Riot), country (Garth Brooks, Alabama), to stuff like New Order, Bauhaus, Aztec Camera. I just like music and i admit what I listen to is a direct reflection fo my mood at the time.

At least you get paid for plasma. I couldn't do it after the second tim (when I was in college) because some "wierd antibodies" came back in my blood. I guess they don't want abnormally high IgG levels, as I later found out they were in the celiac disease test.

If you have any antibodies floating around, they won't let you do it, so I guess it depends on what your blood panel looks like. Worth a shot!!

:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

Blasphemy!!!

At least you realized your error :)

My favorite queen song is Under Pressure with David Bowie. It's probably #2 in my favorite songs of all time. The first being Free Bird. Man, am I a traitor to my generation or what :P

EDIT: After re-reading, I figured out that someone might think I thought those two songs were by Queen. No worries, I know the difference between Queen and Skynyrd :P

Picard - - an attorney who is a thoughtful boss - - -a rarity, I will tell you - worked in two law firms myself throughout college (one was my dad's, about 60 attorneys at that time - - too much exposure to lawyers in my past :blink: ) but they do rely heavily on a good secty, that's for sure....

having a hard time picturing our Mother Hen listening to Iron Maiden.... :lol::lol:

I'll tell you what, my music tastes would get ME laughed out of town, except by perhaps cissie - -

Bluegrass, American roots music (I went from Celtic to that), OLD country (Cash especially, Willie Nelson and Emmylou), and then NIck Drake (British and no longer living), crazy old English Beat and ska, from college- - there's normal stuff too (Seal - my deep love - U2, Beatles, Peter Gabriel) and some Christian music......but everybody but my bro hates my old crazy stuff with fiddles and Appalachian crooners - - - -

Fiddle-Faddle, DID I MENTION I SING????? actually come from a family of beautiful Welsh tenors, I"m the only female who can sing....have a trainable voice and sing harmony in the car, constantly..... :lol::lol::lol:

Plasma - - they take your blood out, remove the plasma, then put the blood back in. Should be okay. I'm just happy to not be a Donor REject - - was anemic for my whole life, until now..... :rolleyes:

My favorite queen song is Under Pressure with David Bowie. It's probably #2 in my favorite songs of all time. The first being Free Bird. Man, am I a traitor to my generation or what :P

THIS SONG MAKES ME CRAZY!!!! in a good way, of course. How brilliant that song is!! Number one fave song of all time - -

Deep Water by Seal - - not a happy song though - - - got me through a vey dark time, that first Seal album.....

I will have to say my #1 song is from Peter Gabriel - Solsbury Hill. Great sound, great imagery. A close second is a David Bowie song -- Changes.

If it were not for my assistant -- she has been at this for longer than I care to think about (and longer than I ahve been practicing) -- I would be outright lost.

Treat your help very good and you will reap the benefits

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test.

      Airborne Gluten?

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks...

      Hi Jmartes, It sure is difficult to get useful advice from medical providers. Almost 20 years  ago a Dr suggested that I might have Celiacs and I took a Celiac Panel blood test. No gluten challenge diet. On that test the tTG was in normal range but an alpha antibody was very high. I went online and read about celiac disease and saw how I could investigate this low tTG and still have celiac disease. Normal tTG can happen when a person had been reacting for many years. Another way is that the person has not been eating enough gluten to raise the antibody level. Another reason is that the tTG does not show up on a blood but may show up on a fecal test. Almost all Celiacs inherit at least one of the 2 main Celiac genes. I had genetic tests for the Celiac genes at Enterolab.com. I inherited one main Celiac gene from one parent and the report said that the DQ gene I inherited from my other parent, DQ6, could cause a person to have more problems or symptoms with that combination. One of my grandmother's had fairly typical symptoms of Celiacs but the other grandmother had severe food intolerances. I seem to show some problems inherited from both grandmothers. Human physiology is very complex and researchers are just beginning to understand how different body systems interact.  If you have taken an autosomal DNA test you can download your raw data file and upload it to Prometheuw.com for a small fee and search for Celiac Disease. If you don't find any Cekiac genes or information about Celiac disease  you may not have autoimmune gluten intolerance because more than 99% of Celiacs have one or both of these genes.  PLEASE ASK QUESTIONS IF YOU WANT TO KNOW EHAT i HAVE DONE TO HELP WITH SYMPTOMS.

      By MogwaiStripe · Posted

      I can't prove it, but I truly believe I have been glutened by airborne particles. I used to take care of shelter cats once per week at a pet store, and no matter how careful I was, I would get glutened each time even if I wore a mask and gloves and washed up well after I was done. I believe the problem was that because I'm short, I couldn't do the the tasks without getting my head and shoulders inside their cages, and so the particles from their food would be all over my hair and top of my shirt. Then I had to drive home, so even if I didn't get glutened right then, the particles would be in my car just waiting for me to get in the car so they could get blown into my face again. I gave up that volunteer gig and stopped getting glutened so often and at such regular intervals.

      Airborne Gluten?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @annamarie6655, Yes, there's many of us who react to airborne gluten!   Yes, animal feed, whether for chickens or cats or dogs, can release airborne gluten.  I can get glutened from the bakery section at the grocery store.   The nose and mouth drain into the digestive system and can trigger systemic reactions.   I find the histamine release in response to airborne gluten will stuff up my sinuses and bother my eyes.  High histamine levels do cause anxiety and migraines.  The muscle spasms can be caused by high histamine, too.  The digestive system may not manifest symptoms without a higher level of gluten exposure.   Our bodies make an enzyme, DAO (diamine oxidase), to break down histamine.   Pyridoxine B 6, Cobalamine B12, Vitamin C, copper, zinc, and iron are needed to make DAO.  DAO supplements are available over the counter.  Taking a B Complex supplement and additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) helps reduce the amount of histamine being released.  Mast cells without sufficient Thiamine have an itchy trigger finger and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells refrain from releasing their histamine.    I find taking additional TTFD thiamine helps immensely with neurological symptoms as TTFD can easily cross the blood brain barrier without a carrier.  High histamine in the brain can cause the muscle spasms, anxiety and migraines.  Vitamin C really helps with clearing histamine, too.   The Digiorno pizza mystery reaction could have been caused by a reaction to the cheese.  Some people develop lactose intolerance.  Others react to Casein, the protein in dairy, the same as if to gluten because Casein resembles the molecular structure of gluten.  An enzyme used in some dairy products, microbial transglutaminase, causes a gluten reaction because it is the same as the tissue transglutaminase our bodies make except microbes make it.  Those tTg IgA blood tests to diagnose celiac disease measure tissue transglutaminase our bodies release as part of the autoimmune response to gluten.   You're doing great!  A Sherlock Holmes award to you for figuring out the connection between airborne gluten and animal feed!!!
