Rachel -- I know I have the same moodieness problem, and I don't think it's hormonal. It is more pronounced since my dx, but it is getting bad. ie. Last night I got mad at DW for FLIPPING THE PAGES ON THE NEWSPAPAER TOO LOUD!! :blink::o:unsure:

Sounds silly, and NEVER would I get mad at her for anything, but the paper think was driving me CRAZY!!

OMG...I get the same way!! I totally know what you're talking about....I get crazy when my mom is chewing gum with her mouth open. If I'm really irritable every little thing will get on my last nerve. Thankfully, its not too often that I'm like this.

TheDave said that I snapped at him the other day...it was the first time I'd ever got snappy with him. :ph34r: I'm telling you the last few days have been bad for me as far as that goes.

What did you get? I always get the cheeseburger but the last time it didn't taste right. :ph34r:

Where do you get your coconut oil? I can't find it. B)

I got a hamburger with lettuce and tomato, french fries, and asparagus (trying to keep it healthy!).

I get my coconut oil at Wild Oats, I've also seen it at health food stores. It's in what looks like a glass peanut butter jar.

The meat was a little yellow, and very hard... but the "eye" was very easy to put a hole in if that means anyting.

That must be why she bought the ice cream at Whole Foods!!! :lol:

Actually I buy *everything* at Whole Foods. The ice cream is organic and I've never seen it anywhere else. The only thing I'll buy from my work is water....I would never buy my food there. Theres hardly anything organic in my store....except maybe that organic beef that I made hamburgers with.

Vincent,

It should be white on the inside....not yellow. It must be bad.

That sucks.

Thanks, no wild oats or whole foods around here. Went to Trader Joe's - they didn't have it. Will check some of the smaller places.

Glad you got to eat out. I've eaten at Carrabas a few times- their Chicken Brian is really good. :P

Maybe he won't be back on here for awhile again. Then, if you don't have a reaction, you're in the clear. It's not as if he's your boss anymore and would have to deal with brainfog there. Of course, he'd still be unhappy with the incident.

Andrea, I just got off the phone with him....I told him what I did with the ice cream. I've been telling him I think my hormones are all haywire right now. He said I always have good excuses. :rolleyes: When I forget to do an order or fail to do other important tasks at work....its usually cuz of brainfog. When I get irritable or maKe bad judgement calls regarding my diet....its usually cuz of hormones or a reaction to chemicals. Its all true though...they are only good excuses cuz they are REAL. :P

Sounds like the stress of waiting for your results were getting to you. Did the ice cream fix that? It always tastes so good when we indulge.....just doens't make our tummies feel very good.

Seems like a lot of us have been not feeling good, down, stressed, lately. :(

Ummmm, straight sugar probably wouldn't be so good. How 'bout a bag of nuggets, chocolate chips, bumble bars, or container of ice cream. :P

Those seems to be the vices on this thread.

Here is a detailed list of how a dentist should safely remove amalgam fillings.

Open Original Shared Link

Obviously my dentist did none of these things and look where it left me. 4 years ago I could have eaten all the ice cream I wanted....any flavor with all the toppings. I could get it at Baskin Robbins for desert after I ate a hawaiin style pizza for dinner. Now look. :angry:

On the bright side of things....if I was still eating pizza and Baskin Robbins...I would have not met all of you. :wub:

Well...so far I have survived my overindulgence of chocolate ice cream. I dont know what tomorrow will bring but I'm gonna stay away from my remaining pint of ice cream....at least for the rest of the weekend. :)

I learned tonite that Tailz did test positive for Lyme Disease so will keep her in my prayers. I may not have agreed with all that she said but I certainly can relate to her frusteration in waiting so long for a proper diagnosis. I'm not sure how long she was undiagnosed but Lyme Disease is progressive and the longer it goes untreated the more damage it causes.

In my case....my symptoms have remained the same. I havent recovered and I havent worsened. I guess I should be thankful that whatever I have is not progressive as long as I stay strict on my diet.

Tailz is posting over in the DailyStrength forum. I saw her post yesterday over there.

I still don't believe that celiac is really undiagnosed lyme, but I do believe like celiac that it is underdiagosed and if the gluten free diet doesn't resolve symptoms and those symptoms are similar to lyme that a person would be better off to test for it.

OK, did I open a can of worms. Not my intention folks.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Judy M! Yes, he definitely needs to continue eating gluten until the day of the endoscopy. Not sure why the GI doc advised otherwise but it was a bum steer.  Celiac disease has a genetic component but also an "epigenetic" component. Let me explain. There are two main genes that have been identified as providing the "potential" to develop "active" celiac disease. We know them as HLA-DQ 2.5 (aka, HLA-DQ 2) and HLA-DQ8. Without one or both of these genes it is highly unlikely that a person will develop celiac disease at some point in their life. About 40% of the general population carry one or both of these two genes but only about 1% of the population develops active celiac disease. Thus, possessing the genetic potential for celiac disease is far less than deterministic. Most who have the potential never develop the disease. In order for the potential to develop celiac disease to turn into active celiac disease, some triggering stress event or events must "turn on" the latent genes. This triggering stress event can be a viral infection, some other medical event, or even prolonged psychological/emotional trauma. This part of the equation is difficult to quantify but this is the epigenetic dimension of the disease. Epigenetics has to do with the influence that environmental factors and things not coded into the DNA itself have to do in "turning on" susceptible genes. And this is why celiac disease can develop at any stage of life. Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition (not a food allergy) that causes inflammation in the lining of the small bowel. The ingestion of gluten causes the body to attack the cells of this lining which, over time, damages and destroys them, impairing the body's ability to absorb nutrients since this is the part of the intestinal track responsible for nutrient absorption and also causing numerous other food sensitivities such as dairy/lactose intolerance. There is another gluten-related disorder known as NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity or just, "gluten sensitivity") that is not autoimmune in nature and which does not damage the small bowel lining. However, NCGS shares many of the same symptoms with celiac disease such as gas, bloating, and diarrhea. It is also much more common than celiac disease. There is no test for NCGS so, because they share common symptoms, celiac disease must first be ruled out through formal testing for celiac disease. This is where your husband is right now. It should also be said that some experts believe NCGS can transition into celiac disease. I hope this helps.

      New (possible) celiac diagnosis

      By Judy M · Posted

      My husband has had lactose intolerance for his entire life (he's 68 yo).  So, he's used to gastro issues. But for the past year he's been experiencing bouts of diarrhea that last for hours.  He finally went to his gastroenterologist ... several blood tests ruled out other maladies, but his celiac results are suspect.  He is scheduled for an endoscopy and colonoscopy in 2 weeks.  He was told to eat "gluten free" until the tests!!!  I, and he know nothing about this "diet" much less how to navigate his in daily life!! The more I read, the more my head is spinning.  So I guess I have 2 questions.  First, I read on this website that prior to testing, eat gluten so as not to compromise the testing!  Is that true? His primary care doctor told him to eat gluten free prior to testing!  I'm so confused.  Second, I read that celiac disease is genetic or caused by other ways such as surgery.  No family history but Gall bladder removal 7 years ago, maybe?  But how in God's name does something like this crop up and now is so awful he can't go a day without worrying.  He still works in Manhattan and considers himself lucky if he gets there without incident!  Advice from those who know would be appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You've done an excellent job of meticulously tracking the rash's unpredictable behavior, from its symmetrical spread and stubborn scabbing to the potential triggers you've identified, like the asthma medication and dietary changes. It's particularly telling that the rash seems to flare with wheat consumption, even though your initial blood test was negative—as you've noted, being off wheat before a test can sometimes lead to a false negative, and your description of the other symptoms—joint pain, brain fog, stomach issues—is very compelling. The symmetry of the rash is a crucial detail that often points toward an internal cause, such as an autoimmune response or a systemic reaction, rather than just an external irritant like a plant or mites. I hope your doctor tomorrow takes the time to listen carefully to all of this evidence you've gathered and works with you to find some real answers and effective relief. Don't be discouraged if the rash fluctuates; your detailed history is the most valuable tool you have for getting an accurate diagnosis.

      Gluten free beer ?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      In this case the beer is excellent, but for those who are super sensitive it is likely better to go the full gluten-free beer route. Lakefront Brewery (another sponsor!) has good gluten-free beer made without any gluten ingredients.

      Welcome to the forum, @catsrlife! Celiac disease can be diagnosed without committing to a full-blown "gluten challenge" if you get a skin biopsy done during an active outbreak of dermatitis herpetiformis, assuming that is what is causing the rash. There is no other known cause for dermatitis herpetiformis so it is definitive for celiac disease. You would need to find a dermatologist who is familiar with doing the biopsy correctly, however. The samples need to be taken next to the pustules, not on them . . . a mistake many dermatologists make when biopsying for dermatitis herpetiformis.
