Rachel-

thank you so much- one for the update on bioset and 2 for your concern for my situation. I definitly agree with everything you said about one doctor not neccesarily being enough. There is an acupuncturist my doc really wants me to see he specializes in motility issues -which are a huge problem for me. I would write more about my tuesday appt. But I am going to wait until tonight because I ahve my last shot today and I will have a chance to talk to my doc again and probably have more to say.

I was thinking about bioset or soem other treatment and thats why I wanted your opinion I definilty don't look at it as magic at this point I don't think any one trewatment is the answer for me- like you I just have too much going on for one thing to be the answer for me. My body is in a cycle that is very -for lack of a better word - MEAN!!! I have these terrible motility issues so my food can't move properly and then stays in my gut which is leaky so I get candida - and no treatment will help because I still ahve the motility issues. I Know these are just a few of my problems- but they are key. I think I want to focus on the motility issues right now- acupuncture, certain massage and possibly bioset or some other treatment can all be helpful in clearing pathways and opening things up to help me move things better (Plus with none of these treatments do I have to ingest anything.) So these are all things I am going to look into right now.

I really appreciate your concern for me. I can't tell you how much it means it is hard because while I ahve some friends who are so understandidng- most of them seem to just be completly unable to and have kind of left me feeling very isolated. I feel blessed thought to have all of you here and my family who are so supportive. I will write more tonight. thank you again for everything.

Mia, we'll be patient just a little longer then, lol, but still anxious to hear.

I ended up going home early yesterday and was really glad I did. Towards afternoon I was so tired I wouldn't have been able to function at work. My bowels were so noisy that I'm sure they could hear them in the next office, lol. I was even able to take a nap for about 30 minutes...unfortunately it was too close to my dental appointment time, so I had to wake myself up with a jolt. :lol:

Speaking of my dental appointment...I was expecting a torture session because I put off having my teeth cleaned while I was having my amalgams removed and I'm someone who really has to go every 4-6 months because of build-up. I had plenty of build-up, but the cleaning wasn't nearly as bad as my past cleanings. My teeth weren't as sensitive!! Could that be because the amalgams are gone? She actually said that sometimes people with composites are more sensitive, but I didn't seem to be. I had SOME sensitive spots, but it really didn't seem as bad as all my other recent cleanings. Now, this is a different hygenist...this is the one that works with the dentist who removed my amalgams, so I guess it could also be the person...but I was kind of shocked, lol.

And back to the bowels, lol...I'm thinking it is one of the supplements I'm taking...that or the :ph34r:peanut butter :ph34r: I've been eating. Or, may it really is just a bug, but I feel fine otherwise. Anyway, I get to test the theories today because I am not taking any supplements today or tomorrow in preparation for ART.

:wub: back at you. We'll look forward to your update. It seems bioset could help with clearing pathways for you. ART would help prioritize. I know alot depends on funds as well. Hope the acupuncture goes well if you decide to go with that as well.

I vote for the peanut butter. I thought you didn't do well with nuts. :unsure:

Donna,

You may be becoming intolerant to legumes :ph34r: I hate to say it, but that's what happened to me, and I felt much better off the peanut butter--and I love peanut butter :(

After I stopped the PB, other legumes began to cause symptoms (or maybe I was just noticing them more), so I stopped all of them.

On the upside, I've found an almond butter that I can eat! :P

Alright so today I woke up about 10:00 a.m. or so and I urinated first and then took

the DMPS. So I will see how I feel throughout the day. I am really more worried about

it affecting my bladder which I hope it doesn't. I will let you know how I do on the test.

I have to urinate in the container for the next 6 hours. With all the urine I do in that time I

have to place some of it in a alhambra gallon container. Girls so far I don't feel so good.

I don't know if it's anxiety or hunger or the pill. I will keep up updated but I'm sure

I'll be o.k.

Lisa,

Please update us frequently on how you are doing. Was it DMPS and not DMSO or DMSA?

The only nuts which tested okay for me were walnuts, but truly I think all nuts are not so good recently. But I just need something else besides beef, turkey and veggies, and nuts have a lot of the good fats.

I WAS cheating with almond butter, and told Anna that and she said it wasn't such a bad cheat. My body may not like it, but at least it doesn't have mold issues, etc. If I have to cheat I guess it's better to do almond butter.

I also just saw my boss in the hallway...she was out sick yesterday too and asked what I had...we basically had the same thing--really bad D--so there MAY be something going around here too.

It could also be the supplements because so far today I'm okay. I had PB last night--same as every other day since Friday or so, so if it were that, you'd think I would be in the bathroom this morning again. Maybe it's the combination of PB, supplements and a bug, lol.

I hope that bad feeling passes quickly! Can you eat during the test? I know if I get too hungry I feel bad all over...that's one reason why I eat so often (which would be easier if I could eat more things, lol).

Donna--

This time of year, it could very well be a virus. Especially since your boss had it, too. Those things are so contageous.

Hope it's not the PB :D

So, almond butter dosen't have mold issues? That's good, as I now eat lots of it :P

The funny thing is, I went out to photograph my daffodils to change up my avatar a little bit. Mark brough Allo out and set him in the garden--I was able to get 2 pictures before he ran back in the house.

I thought that one came out really good, so I used it. The little hambone got in the avatar again :lol:

My flowers do look nice, though....really :D

Yes, I agree. Those flowers are very pretty with him.

I assume he's an indoor kitty. Watch out though, when we let our kitty out that looked similar to him she became more of an outdoor cat. Course, he's older....she was just about 6 mos - 1 year old.

Yes, he's strictly an indoor cat. After Mark carried him out, he couldn't get back to the house fast enough!

He's also a scaredy cat :lol:

that or the :ph34r:peanut butter :ph34r: I've been eating.

:o:o

Peanut Butter is evil. I dont like it anymore. :(

Well....ok :rolleyes: ...when I think of having it with some jelly on Wonderbread...then yeah...peanut butter....mmmm....yummy. :D

Donna...arent you sensitive to molds??? I thought you were?? :unsure:

For me peanut butter has probably been the worst thing....its been disastrous every time I tried it.

I'm really bad for molds though...remember...the only person worse then me was that really sick girl who came in from Canada. :(

So yeah...I'm the second worst now. :rolleyes:

I had read that organic PB is more moldy than something like JIF. Also the most moldy peanut butter is the kind you make fresh....in the store. Whole Foods has that kind but I never tried it...Thank God. :o

I was trying to eat the organic stuff (before I found out they were worse) and OMG...one time I swear...everything like *exploded* inside of me. :blink:

I got horrible reflux on the spot and I thought my head might explode too. Not alot of things give me too much GI distress...but the peanut butter sure did.

I thought I might throw up....I dont ever throw up...but that peanut butter did me in. This was before BioSET so I didnt know for sure about the molds but I was kind of wondering after that happened. <_<

I think it could be the mold....you obviously dont get as severe a reaction as I get.....but I would think you would still get some "issues" from it.

I might be permanantly traumatized from my last peanut butter indulgence.

Yeah...they all have mold. I cant have any of the nut butters....peanut butter is by far the worst though....then probably cashew butter. I used to get sick from almond butter too but it would take a day or so to start feeling it.

I tried nuts in the shell....out of the shell....organic...conventional...and yup...they all have mold. Walnuts are pretty bad too. :(

My face and tongue starts getting "prickly" feelings when I eat something moldy....so I pretty much know my "mold reaction" now. I can officially "detect" mold with one small sample. YAY for me...."Rachel...the official "Mold Buster". :rolleyes:

I feel blessed too. :)

Its kind of a "lonely" illness...cuz noone can really relate and we cant partake in all of the "normal" activities....like eating and drinking. :(

Its nice that we have the people who DO understand (and I'm grateful that my list of understanding people is longer than the other list :) ) and of course...the support from all you guys....that goes without saying. :wub:

I'm looking forward to hearing how things went with your Dr. :)

Off to BioSet now....

The Dapsone has cleared the rash entirely but I still get quite a bit itching, absolutely nothing to see though. I know its notoriously hard to clear and its still relatively early days for me.  The iodine issue is very interesting. I do eat quite a bit of salt because I have Addison's disease and sodium retention is an issue. I also have autoimmune hypothyroidism, not sure how a low iodine diet would play into that? Because of my Addison's I am totally steroid dependent, I take steroids 4 x daily and cannot mount any defence against inflammation. I need to increase my meds for that. Now that I know what is wrong I can do just that if Im having a bad day. Life is very sweet, just so damn complicated sometimes! Hey ho, onwards. Thank you again for your advice.

      So, essentially all of the nutrition in the food we eat is absorbed through the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestinal track that is damaged by celiac disease. This villous lining is composed of billions of finger-like projections that create a huge amount of surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the celiac person, when gluten is consumed, it triggers an autoimmune reaction in this area which, of course, generates inflammation. The antibodies connected with this inflammation is what the celiac blood tests are designed to detect but this inflammation, over time, wears down the finger-like projections of the villous lining. Of course, when this proceeds for an extended period of time, greatly reduces the absorption efficiency of the villous lining and often results in many and various nutrient deficiency-related health issues. Classic examples would be osteoporosis and iron deficiency. But there are many more. Low D3 levels is a well-known celiac-caused nutritional deficiency. So is low B12. All the B vitamins in fact. Magnesium, zinc, etc.  Celiac disease can also cause liver inflammation. You mention elevated ALP levels. Elevated liver enzymes over a period of 13 years was what led to my celiac diagnosis. Within three months of going gluten free my liver enzymes normalized. I had elevated AST and ALT. The development of sensitivities to other food proteins is very common in the celiac population. Most common cross reactive foods are dairy and oats but eggs, soy and corn are also relatively common offenders. Lactose intolerance is also common in the celiac population because of damage to the SB lining.  Eggs when they are scrambled or fried give me a gut ache. But when I poach them, they do not. The steam and heat of poaching causes a hydrolysis process that alters the protein in the egg. They don't bother me in baked goods either so I assume the same process is at work. I bought a plastic poacher on Amazon to make poaching very easy. All this to say that many of the issues you describe could be caused by celiac disease.

      thank you so much for your detailed and extremely helpful reply!! I can say with absolute certainty that the less gluten containing products I've eaten over the past several years, the better I've felt.   I wasn't avoiding gluten, I was avoiding refined grains (and most processed foods) as well as anything that made me feel bad when I ate it. It's the same reason I gave up dairy and eggs- they make me feel ill.  I do have a bit of a sugar addiction lol so a lot of times I wasn't sure if it was the refined grains that I was eating - or the sugar. So from time to time I might have a cookie or something but I've learned how to make wonderful cookies and golden brownies with BEANS!! and no refined sugar - I use date paste instead. Pizza made me so ill- but I thought it was probably the cheese. I gave up pizza and haven't missed it. the one time I tried a slice I felt so bad I knew I'd never touch it again. I stopped eating wheat pasta at least 3 yrs ago- just didn't feel well after eating it. I tried chick pea pasta and a few others and discovered I like the brown rice pasta. I still don't eat a lot of pasta but it's nice for a change when I want something easy. TBH over the years I've wondered sometimes if I might be gluten intolerant but really believed it was not possible for me to have celiac disease. NOW I need to know for sure- because I'm in the middle of a long process of trying to find out why I have a high parathyroid level (NOT the thyroid- but rather the 4 glands that control the calcium balance in your body) I have had a hard time getting my vit D level up, my serum calcium has run on the low side of normal for many years... and now I am losing calcium from my bones and excreting it in my urine (some sort of renal calcium leak) Also have a high ALP since 2014. And now rapidly worsening bone density.  I still do not have a firm diagnosis. Could be secondary HPT (but secondary to what? we need to know) It could be early primary HPT. I am spilling calcium in my urine but is that caused by the high parathyroid hormone or is it the reason my PTH is high>? there are multiple feedback loops for this condition.    so I will keep eating the bread and some wheat germ that does not seem to bother me too much (it hasn't got enough gluten to use just wheat germ)    but I'm curious- if you don't have a strong reaction to a product- like me and wheat germ- does that mean it's ok to eat or is it still causing harm even if you don't have any obvious symptoms? I guess what you are saying about silent celiac makes it likely that you can have no symptoms and still have the harm... but geez! you'd think they'd come up with a way to test for this that didn't require you to consume something that makes you sick! I worry about the complications I've been reading about- different kinds of cancers etc. also wondering- are there degrees of celiac disease?  is there any correlation between symptoms and the amnt of damage to your intestines? I also need a firm diagnosis because I have an identical twin sister ... so if I have celiac, she has it too- or at least the genetic make up for having it. I did have a VERY major stress to my body in 2014-2016 time frame .. lost 50lbs in a short period of time and had severe symptoms from acute protracted withdrawal off an SSRI drug (that I'd been given an unethically high dose of, by a dr who has since lost his license)  Going off the drug was a good thing and in many ways my health improved dramatically- just losing 50lbs was helpful but I also went  off almost a dozen different medications, totally changed my diet and have been doing pretty well except for the past 3-4 yrs when the symptoms related to the parathyroid issue cropped up. It is likely that I had low vit D for some time and that caused me a lot of symptoms. The endo now tells me that low vit D can be caused by celiac disease so I need to know for sure! thank you for all that great and useful information!!!

      Welcome, @catnapt! The most recent guidelines are the daily consumption of a minimum of 10g of gluten (about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of two weeks. But if possible stretching that out even more would enhance the chances of getting valid test results. These guidelines are for those who have been eating gluten free for a significant amount of time. It's called the "gluten challenge".  Yes, you can develop celiac disease at any stage of life. There is a genetic component but also a stress trigger that is needed to activate the celiac genes. About 30-40% of the general population possesses the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% of the general population actually develop celiac disease. For most with the potential, the triggering stress event doesn't happen. It can be many things but often it is a viral infection. Having said that, it is also the case that many, many people who eventually are diagnosed with celiac disease probably experienced the actual onset years before. Many celiacs are of the "silent" type, meaning that symptoms are largely missing or very minor and get overlooked until damage to the small bowel lining becomes advanced or they develop iron deficiency anemia or some other medical problem associated with celiac disease. Many, many are never diagnosed or are diagnosed later in life because they did not experience classic symptoms. And many physicians are only looking for classic symptoms. We now know that there are over 200 symptoms/medical problems associated with celiac disease but many docs are only looking for things like boating, gas, diarrhea. I certainly understand your concerns about not wanting to damage your body by taking on a gluten challenge. Your other option is to totally commit to gluten free eating and see if your symptoms improve. It can take two years or more for complete healing of the small bowel lining once going gluten free but usually people experience significant improvement well before then. If their is significant improvement in your symptoms when going seriously gluten free, then you likely have your answer. You would either have celiac disease or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      after several years of issues with a para-gland issue, my endo has decided it's a good idea for me to be tested for celiac disease. I am 70 yrs old and stunned to learn that you can get celiac this late in life. I have just gradually stopped eating most foods that contain gluten over the past several years- they just make me feel ill- although I attributed it to other things like bread spiking blood sugar- or to the things I ate *with* the bread or crackers etc   I went to a party in Nov and ate a LOT of a vegan roast made with vital wheat gluten- as well as stuffing, rolls and pie crust... and OMG I was so sick! the pain, the bloating, the gas, the nausea... I didn't think it would ever end (but it did) and I was ready to go the ER but it finally subsided.   I mentioned this to my endo and now she wants me to be tested for celiac after 2 weeks of being on gluten foods. She has kind of flip flopped on how much gluten I should eat, telling me that if the symptoms are severe I can stop. I am eating 2-3 thin slices of bread per day (or english muffins) and wow- it does make me feel awful. But not as bad as when I ate that massive amnt of vital wheat gluten. so I will continue on if I have to... but what bothers me is - if it IS celiac, it seems stupid for lack of a better word, to intentionally cause more damage to my body... but I am also worried, on the other hand, that this is not a long enough challenge to make the blood work results valid.   can you give me any insight into this please?   thank you
