DO NOT EAT THE WHOLE BAG IN ONE SITTING. TAKE OUT A FEW, PUT THE REST BACK IN THE FREEZER. You can do this ... if I can stop at 1/4 of a donut, you can eat in moderation, too!!!!

Vincent - I think your dog would enjoy that new toy. These dingos would be thrilled with that...they love new toys - Tika even plays fetch with herself...... :)

I am not supposed to have ANY sugar. I've been so good that I rewarded myself with one cup of decaf coffee (can't have it either) and 1/4 of a donut. It was just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without stressing my adrenals too much!

Take out a few nuggets and eat them. Put the rest in the refrigerator ... if you wait, once you start, it's gonna get ugly. :o

Donna,

Awhile back you asked about the mercury-free dentist I saw. I'm pretty sure he retired cuz I recall getting something in the mail announcing it. I was just doing a search on mercury-related stuff and ended up on his webpage. I'm like "Hey....thats the guy!".

Anyways heres the link...I dont know if the place is still there or what. I think he might have sold the dentristry to someone else in the same field...not positive though. If you're interested you could probably find out. They were really knowledgeable about this stuff there.

I wouldnt do oral DMSA, I would do IV DMPS.

I've done alot of research on this and my choice will be to NOT use intraveneous DMPS.....heres why

Open Original Shared Link

Read the stories of the people who've gone this route....

Also the experts who've actually had mercury toxicity and gone through chelation do not recommend DMPS through IV. DMPS is not FDA approved...while DMSA is. From the research I've done it seems that DMSA and oral DMPS are quite effective and of less risk to the patient. IV DMPS is by far more powerful but at what cost?? I'd rather get better slowly than risk permanant damage....thats just me though. Also the book I have (written by Andy Cutler) is considered to be the best book there is on the subject....he also does not recommend IV DMPS under any circumstances.

Most of the people advocating IV DMPS have a financial stake in it. Also the cost is much higher than that of the oral chelators.

I will play it safe and take the advice from those who've done it and regretted it.

I believe the slogan the biological dentists use is "First...do no harm".

Sounds good to me... :)

about the inactivations of enzymes and DNA mutations due to heavy metal exposure,,,, ive been obsessing on that all along, BTW :P

I wonder if there is some immoessay or genetic test to see if certain enzymes are working properly, howerever there are so many enzymes with so many functions it would be impossible to test them all,,etc.

Even if there were tests available for this I personally wouldnt pay for them. I already know that my enzymes arent working properly because I react to whole food groups and chemicals. I'm more interested in getting to the root cause of why everything isnt working right in my body. All of the *functional* tests I've taken show something isnt right....but they dont tell me why...and they dont get me better.

:lol::lol:

Laughing at Andrea and Patti's new avatars!

Susan, I'm in agreement about the 1/4 donut.....I could never do it. How could I stop? :ph34r:

You take the donut out of the freezer, cut off 1/4 of it, put the rest back in the freezer, then eat when the donut is thawed and don't go back to the freezer!!!!

Carla,

Nothing so "sensible" ever works with me. <_<

I would go back to the freezer...take out more donut...*not* wait for it to thaw (that would take too long)...throw it in the microwave and eat it.

Then I'd be upset cuz there was no more donut.....I'd go buy more and then Rachel the heck out of them. :ph34r:

Julie,

Everytime I buy my ice cream...I *have* to pick up the vanilla flavored one and read the ingredients...as if they might spontaniously change someday. :rolleyes: I've never bought that one because it has annatto in it for color....I think it would give me a bad reaction. If only that one ingredient wasnt on there.....well we all know what would happen then. :P

I'm like you carla if I allow myself something I should not necesssarily have I just have a little. Since its nothing that gives me a major reaction I am usually able to tolerate it where as if I had a lot of it I'de probably get really sick. This also makes me appreciate what I ma eating so much more.

EVERYONE......please keep your opinions of abortion or anything as controversial as this topic is off of this thread. If you would like to discuss such matters in pm's then please do so....but not on this thread. I know I've made this announcement before but this thread is intended for uncovering medical issues that are still making us sick....to offer support on HEALTH issues.

Someone comes onto the thread announcing their intentions and then doesnt want to respond to pms. A public forum on food intolerances is not the place for this and complaints are being made. Please do not respond to Christina on this thread....use pm's.

I think we all did our best to offer support....she has made a decision....chose to announce it here....now lets leave it at that. There is NO way to say anything on this subject thats not gonna offend someone.....and I would appreciate it if the subject is now dropped. This is not one of those "controversial" threads and its not gonna become one either.

Thanks

I decided to jump in on this new "things we Rachel" avatar trend. I couldn't decide though...I think I need multiple avatars for this.

Oh and sorry to so drastically change the subject. I was just really excited to find that image. Haven't had one of those in MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! :(:)

I may just have to look at those. I assume they are gluten-free/SF/CF since you are. I've been avoiding peanut butter even though I don't have a problem with it, since I'm intolerant to soy.

Yep I think you could probably have those....and the peanut butter is optional :). They do have a statement that says "we do not use any gluten, dairy, soy etc. etc. ingredients" right above another statement that says "manufactured in a facility with soy and dairy." I've never had any problems with them though.

Okay here's something else I Rachel. There's nothing healthy about these and they don't come in berry flavor :). Can you tell I have a really exciting job? Are they gonna wonder why I have images of Clif Bars, Biscotti (and Ian's Chicken Nuggets) saved to the desktop? Am I talking to myself now? (I think everyone in the US went to sleep :rolleyes: )

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  One of the symptoms of Thiamine deficiency is difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD symptoms as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.

      I was just diagnosed at 26 after accidental finding. Any simple tips for newbies? Things a non celiac would never think of? I already went through my prescriptions and identified some medications that have gluten. Is there a beginners guide? Celiac for dummies?
