I have a minor gripe.......

I bought ground chicken breast at Wild Oats this weekend and promptly froze it. Bad enough it was from a rocky chicken, not a rosie chicken.....I just bought it to see if the children like it better than the ground turkey.....I certainly don't plan on buying it often.

Anyway, you know how they usually wrap the meat in wax paper, they put it in a plastic bag and now I've got to somewhat thaw the thing to get the bag out of the crevices. :angry: I'm not a happy camper about this....I may have to cook up something else for dinner.

Andrea--

You might have to just refrigerate the chicken overnight and make something else. Getting the bag out of the ground meat is tough--you pull on it and it just stretches until it breaks :angry:

Rachel--

Don't dampen your enthusiasm--post anything that you feel you want to share. I just pick out what pertains to me and don't worry about the rest. I figure it'll resonate with someone :D

Cause you never know what is going to strike a chord. ;)

I just want to get back to normal :lol:

I'm cooking the chicken.

I also want it back to normal.

Obviously stuff that's been posted has had an attraction because so many visitors have been here. Maybe they are looking for people that have been helped by various treatments.

Laura, It's always good to see you too.......you've been missed.

Laura,

Don't worry, we all understand! You're having to deal with so much--your job and treatments and all. Just know that you're in my thoughts and I always look forward to getting an update when you feel up to it. :)

Did I read that you did your solo?

Donna....when are you doing your solo? I know you sang in front of the choir guy and that seemed to go really well. So now are you ready to "wow" everyone?? :D

Well, just in practice, and just in front of the choir director, who has, oddly enough, never heard me sing alone before. :lol: I had some people praying for me, and it worked because I wasn't nearly as nervous as I was when I did just in our little group. I do the solo for real on August 5 (whatever that Sunday is).

Ha, I'll do something alright...not sure WOW is what I'll do to them. :P:lol:

EVERYONE ON THIS THREAD IS PRETENTIOUS AND OBNOXIOUS AND PRETENDS TO KNOW MORE THAN THEY REALLY DO. YOU-ALL BLATHER ON ENDLESSLY ABOUT SILLY UNPROVEN TREATMENTS THAT WILL NEVER WORK AND JUST WASTE TIME AND MONEY. GROW THE F*** UP!!!

There, now you can all yell at me and stop sniping at each other because I think all of you need the collective knowledge that's been accumulating on this thread.

OMGOSH!!!!! :lol: Something told me that had to be a joke, but still, I held my breath through that whole first paragraph! :lol:

but when random people start attacking PATTI for no reason----then I know that something has gone horribly wrong! I definitely don't understand, but it makes me tired!

Wow, okay, that is just so wrong! I've never read an unkind word from Patti...even when she's doing her moderator thing, she is always respectful and sweet!

I DO KNOW that each and every one of you have welcomed other posters to join, but the appearance does appeal somewhat inclusive. I am certain that this was not an attempt to appear that way but other may see it differently.

While this is in the evaluation process, I thought I would post my arm chair thoughts and this is directed at no one.

Yeah, I'm not sure how to make this less so. It's like any other "group" that's been together a while...you just know each other. I recently went to a flea market with my very good friend. She invited one of HER other very good friends who I'd actually only met once--never spent any time at all with her before that. For a little while I felt slightly left out because they have a long history...but oddly enough eventually OUR history came through too. The three of us ended up having a great time.

I didn't know anyone when I joined this thread, and I was welcomed and was just assimilated, lol (kind of like the BORG of Startrek fame, lol). I wish I knew how to project that to everyone who reads this thread.

I would like to say that I am not a frequent poster on OMG, but I do read and I do learn. I am totally amazed at the information that you, all of you, offer for the common good. I admire all of you for your research and you time and dedication to offer this to others on this site. A pat on the back for all.

I most likely would have not much to offer that has not been covered. I visit to learn. I, though, could see why other may be hesitant to join in. Without personal offense, I call this the "Walton Thread" (to myself). Meaning...."hello JohnBoy, hello MaryEllen, hello Ben, hello Jason."

Hi all,

How is everyone? At the library right now again. You know. Anyways I have bad news. I went to my naturopath today. More bloodwork. Yaay! Almost fainted. I always do that. I weigh 85 pounds people 85 POUNDS! I am on a strickter diet now. just squash and meat till I add one thing at a time. SOmething isn't doing right with me. THey want to put me in the hospital with IV's. My doctor said that my organs are eating themselves up. I eat but always get diarrhea.

I don't know if it is the whey protein I smell since I am ssooo sensitive. This is ridiculuous. How can someone live this way. Everyone I am scared. :( I don't know what too do no more but the doctor says if I keep losing weight I will die. She says it is mercury but something else maybe too?

Egads Lisa! I don't know what to say. :(

Is your appointment with Dr. S at the end of the week? I'm pretty sure he'll probably want you to see Anna.......the one Rachel and Donna have seen. She's the best there is for BioSET it sounds like.

Holy cow, I take a break for a couple of days and there's a major love fest going on :huh:.

Lots of good stuff said in the last couple of days. Christine, I loved your post. Andrea and Jin, thanks for holding down the fort. Mia, I'm grateful for your sweet heart. Rachel and Carla, good to see you back. Jestar, you crack me up!! Susie, OMG, I went trad climbing for the first time this year in Rocky National Park yesterday, and I was scared sh*tless, 250' up of crack climbing!! Needless to say, I lived to tell about it.

:wub: :wub: :wub:

Don't have time to post much now, but I just couldn't pass Lisa's post up.

Hi Lisa,

Hang in there girl! You've got the will to live and heal, and I know you will! I'm sending out a big (((((hug))))) your way. Really, I just wish I could be there and hold you. Sounds like you have gotten some good tips on doctors and dentists from Rachel.

I'll post on my LED experience later. I'd like to say that I have been feeling really good since my first treatment. Coincidence or not? Related to the beginning of my amalgam removals? A shift in the planets :huh: ?

Ok, can we just get back to the scienticness already :rolleyes::lol: !

You can call me many things, but "goosey" is a fond term.

Hello everyone.

Reading the posts on here recently made me cry a little bit. not out of sadness, but out of inspiration.

I love it when we all support one another. It restores my faith in the true goodness of people.

Life is too short for arguing, there is enough conflict going on in the world around us.

I am grateful to learn from all you and I want to take part by listening and offering my support in a caring non judgmental way.

I believe in eveyone's abilities to take care of themselves, as we are all incredibly strong.

I can feel vulnerable and fearful sometimes, and you guys really do make me feel better, knowing you are here and that you understand.

Lisa....I'm so sad for you. I wish I could do more. :(

I think you need help like right now. I know you said you werent gonna see Dr. S. on Friday and I think even if you did see him at this point he wouldnt know what to do except to run all the tests to try to find out what you're dealing with.

I think you do need some immediate help because of the weight situation. I dont think its a bad idea to be hosptilized because of the amount of weight you've lost.

I'm sure you must have infections along with the mercury so maybe it would be helpful to identify and treat some of the infections?? I dont know but just guessing that it could help. Do you know what your Dr. tested you for? I guess you never were able to do the stool test for parasites and those things?

I was also wondering if you've tried wearing a mask around things that bother you.....like in your brothers room...could you wear a mask and possible not react so badly? I sometimes wear one of those painters masks when I'm doing cleaning/dusting around the house.

I'll be praying for you.....call me if you need to talk. :wub:

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it. Gluten is the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part. Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.

      Insomnia help

      Thank you for your post, @nanny marley It is interesting what you say about 'It's OK not to sleep'. Worrying about sleeping only makes it much harder to sleep. One of my relatives is an insomniac and I am sure that is part of the problem. Whereas I once had a neighbour who, if she couldn't sleep, would simply get up again, make a cup of tea, read,...

      @catnapt, Wheat germ has very little gluten in it.  Gluten is  the carbohydrate storage protein, what the flour is made from, the fluffy part.  Just like with beans, there's the baby plant that will germinate  ("germ"-inate) if sprouted, and the bean part is the carbohydrate storage protein.   Wheat germ is the baby plant inside a kernel of wheat, and bran is the protective covering of the kernel.   Little to no gluten there.   Large amounts of lectins are in wheat germ and can cause digestive upsets, but not enough Gluten to provoke antibody production in the small intestines. Luckily you still have time to do a proper gluten challenge (10 grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks) before your next appointment when you can be retested.

      Supplements for those Diagnosed with Celiac Disease

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @asaT, I'm curious to know whether you are taking other B vitamins like Thiamine B1 and Niacin B3.  Malabsorption in Celiac disease affects all the water soluble B vitamins and Vitamin C.  Thiamine and Niacin are required to produce energy for all the homocysteine lowering reactions provided by Folate, Cobalamine and Pyridoxine.   Weight gain with a voracious appetite is something I experienced while malnourished.  It's symptomatic of Thiamine B1 deficiency.   Conversely, some people with thiamine deficiency lose their appetite altogether, and suffer from anorexia.  At different periods on my lifelong journey, I suffered this, too.   When the body doesn't have sufficient thiamine to turn food, especially carbohydrates, into energy (for growth and repair), the body rations what little thiamine it has available, and turns the carbs into fat, and stores it mostly in the abdomen.  Consuming a high carbohydrate diet requires additional thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  Simple carbohydrates (sugar, white rice, etc.) don't contain thiamine, so the body easily depletes its stores of Thiamine processing the carbs into fat.  The digestive system communicates with the brain to keep eating in order to consume more thiamine and other nutrients it's not absorbing.   One can have a subclinical thiamine insufficiency for years.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so the symptoms can wax and wane mysteriously.  Symptoms of Thiamine insufficiency include stunted growth, chronic fatigue, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi (diarrhea, abdominal pain), heart attack, Alzheimer's, stroke, and cancer.   Thiamine improves bone turnover.  Thiamine insufficiency can also affect the thyroid.  The thyroid is important in bone metabolism.  The thyroid also influences hormones, like estrogen and progesterone, and menopause.  Vitamin D, at optimal levels, can act as a hormone and can influence the thyroid, as well as being important to bone health, and regulating the immune system.  Vitamin A is important to bone health, too, and is necessary for intestinal health, as well.   I don't do dairy because I react to Casein, the protein in dairy that resembles gluten and causes a reaction the same as if I'd been exposed to gluten, including high tTg IgA.  I found adding mineral water containing calcium and other minerals helpful in increasing my calcium intake.   Malabsorption of Celiac affects all the vitamins and minerals.  I do hope you'll talk to your doctor and dietician about supplementing all eight B vitamins and the four fat soluble vitamins because they all work together interconnectedly.

The D3 does have coconut oil but it is non GMO, it is Gluten free, Soy free, Soybean free and Safflower oil free.  I have a cupboard full of supplements that did not agree with me -  I just keep trying and have finally settled on Sports Research. I take NAKA Women's Multi full spectrum, and have not felt sick after taking 2 capsules per day -  it is a Canadian company. I buy both from Amazon. I wish you well in your searching, I know how discouraging it all is. Florence.

      highly unlikely  NOTHING and I mean NOTHING else has ever caused me these kinds of symptoms I have no problem with dates, they are a large part of my diet In fact, I eat a very high fiber, very high vegetable and bean diet and have for many years now. It's considered a whole foods plant based or plant forward diet (I do now eat some lean ground turkey but not much) I was off dairy for years but recently had to add back plain yogurt to meet calcium needs that I am not allowed to get from supplements (I have not had any problem with the yogurt)   I eat almost no processed foods. I don't eat out. almost everything I eat, I cook myself I am going to keep a food diary but to be honest, I already know that it's wheat products and also barley that are the problem, which is why I gradually stopped eating and buying them. When I was eating them, like back in early 2024, when I was in the middle of moving and ate out (always had bread or toast or rolls or a sub or pizza) I felt terrible but at that time was so busy and exhausted that I never stopped to think it was the food. Once I was in my new place, I continued to have bread from time to time and had such horrible joint pain that I was preparing for 2 total knee replacements as well as one hip! The surgery could not go forward as I was (and still am) actively losing calcium from my bones. That problem has yet to be properly diagnosed and treated   anyway over time I realized that I felt better when I stopped eating bread. Back at least 3 yrs ago I noticed that regular pasta made me sick so I switched to brown rice pasta and even though it costs a lot more, I really like it.   so gradually I just stopped buying and eating foods with gluten. I stopped getting raisin bran when I was constipated because it made me bloated and it didn't help the constipation any more (used to be a sure bet that it would in the past)   I made cookies and brownies using beans and rolled oats and dates and tahini and I LOVE them and have zero issues eating those I eat 1 or more cans of beans per day easily can eat a pound of broccoli - no problem! Brussels sprouts the same thing.   so yeh it's bread and related foods that are clearly the problem  there is zero doubt in my mind

Last week I decided to try a Floradix Magnesium supplement which seems to be helping me to sleep better.  It is a liquid magnesium supplement, so easy to take.  It is gluten free (unlike the Floradix iron supplement).  Might be worth a try.
