Also, if everyone could pray that the insurance company will cover the next few appointments and IV's and PICC line, I would SO appreciate it!

No problem Kassandra. :)

Ami, I'm terribly sorry for what you're going through. I'll be thinking about you.

Ami, I'm really sorry for what you're going through, it must be difficult. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. I think the waiting will be difficult. :(

I ordered the Humaworm.

:lol: This just struck me as funny. ;)

I always eat my steaks rare...sometimes really rare.

I usually get medium rare, but when it's a thick filet, that means red in the middle .... not anymore ... I'm a medium person now!

And hold on to them, if that was a tapeworm maybe they'll fit again. :)

I hope not .... I would like to gain 3 or 4 pounds, but not to fit in those jeans again ... I've bought several pairs of jeans in my current size, so I have a reason to stay here!

I just have to rave about the raw diet for a minute...I have literally eaten anything I want (as long as it's raw) and I have already lost 2 pounds!!! I am talking apple pie, donut holes and more! I don't think I will ever go back to cooked food! LOL! :lol:

On a serious note...I did a little pilates yesterday (literally 15 minutes) and I felt terrible today! I felt like I had the flu...yuck! I took 4 advil and am feeling better...not great, but much better. Is it possible that I "shook" things up in my body?

I'm glad the raw food is working out for you!

You can certainly stir things up! When you work out, you raise the body temperature .... high temps kill bacteria.

There was talk on LN once about Dr. B saying that he has seen people go into remission completely with exercise! That's how important it is. I have done this three times myself .... the third included having my amalgams out.

I used to herx after exercise .... I don't anymore.

Jin is a maybe for Lyme as well.

How could I forget Jin......Sorry Jin. :(

Where are you Jin?

Yes, I think the number will rise once everyone is tested or diagnosed. I'm tending to think MANY more here actually have it than just those who have been tested.

Me too......think that many more have it. My family doesn't appear to be in that loop and I have no reason to think we are. You guys are stuck with me though. :P

Also, if everyone could pray that the insurance company will cover the next few appointments and IV's and PICC line, I would SO appreciate it! We are so desperate for them to do this...if they don't we are going to go down the legal route with them.

I cerainly hope you don't have to go the legal route but I do agree with that decision. This is just plain ridiculous! :angry:

You guys are getting me more interested in this product. I seriously doubt I should try anything like that while I still have my amalgams in since parasites absorb the mercury. Maybe that's part of why I haven't had too many obvious symptoms.

I'm kinda thinking I should have waited till after the holidays .... I mean, a tapeworm could come in handy over the holidays! :lol:

Seriously, though, I am feeling less bloated ... I'm wondering if that's a side effect .... of course it could be a side effect of other parasites, too.

Hey Everyone ^_^

Thanksgiving almost here!

Guess what that means?

No turkey for me. :(

How is everyone? I am still here. Still eating gallons of ice cream and I seriously need an intervention before It really becomes, death by chocolate.

Actually death by vanilla. They have a pumpking pie ice cream that whole foods sells. I might have to have one of those Thursday <_< maybe we'll see.

Other than that nothing, nothing new. I read a few post but time is sooo limited at the library.

Read about Rinne Bars and how we need to buy stock now before Rachel buys them all.

Read about tapeworms and about all our parasites eating turkey next week.

Is anyone going to cheat and eat pumpkin pie, or a roll, or mash potatoes with gravy? If you do cheat for me too o.k.?

Do you think eating ice cream everyday can hinder my detoxing the mercury and metals?

Hey Jinn I believe that stuff we scrape off our face and neck are toxins. Mine are white but turn green when I wipe them on a paper towel or toilet paper.

Grosss huh?

Hey Rachel I am going to PM you okay

see ya

OMG...I just had the BEST raw pizza!!! It was free of everything (even nuts!!!). It was SO GOOD!!! I never thought I could have pizza again!! :lol:

Carla, I think this is the first holiday season I won't gain weight. Even if I wasn't raw, I don't think I could eat anything at any of our family gatherings...lol. There is an upside to multiple food intolerances...lol.

I am NOT going to do them without a PICC or central line! :angry: I will put my foot down. I already have a huge bruise on my arm from the blood draw 2 days ago! :angry:

Kassandra, it's abominable that your insurance is holding this up for you. :angry:

Andrea,

It's great to be posting again! :D

Hey, Morgan!! :lol: It's lovely to meet you!

Chocolate is a difficult one to get off of. I haven't been buying it lately.

Before I went gluten free I was chocolate addict and always had incredibly low magnesium levels, now my magnesium levels have come up I'm still addicted. The only problem is find soy free stuff... every time we get a bag of Enjoy Life I end up snarfing it all up. :rolleyes:

Jin,

I forgot to mention this before, I made the pumpkin pie with snickerdoodle crusts. I made them mini--in a muffin tin--and had one straight out of the oven. I couldn't taste the crust very well when it was hot, but when they cooled off both flavors stood out beautifully. I think I ate 5. :rolleyes:

I haven't regurgitated in 5 days!!

Wonderful!!!!

Ami,

I'm so sorry, and am praying. :(

Does anyone have a count of how many positives, on this thread, there are now?

I'm also a possibility.

You can certainly stir things up! When you work out, you raise the body temperature .... high temps kill bacteria.

That might explain why I feel utterly horrible whenever I try and exercise. I have a ton of energy one minute, and then want to crash and sleep the next. Hm... <_<

Ami,

I too am very sorry for your loss.

I had a simular experience but I was not detoxing. I miscarried after my first, I was 10 wks. Unknown to me at the time,

I most definitly had my heavy metal toxicity and Lyme and a mouth full of amalgams so the Lord only knows why it happened.

Be nice to yourself and I will pray your body does what naturally needs to do it this situation.

If you need anything don't hesitate to pm me.

Boy does that sound familiar. My hubby and I go through a bag in two sittings......maybe less.

Those snickerdoodle pumpkin mini pies sound pretty good. :)

Kassandra,

How do you have a raw pizza? Don't you have to have a cooked crust?

Ok, to update the possible lyme list......hopefully I won't forget anyone this time.

Carla's oldest son, Kassandra, Sarah, Birdy, Jin........anybody else?

Kassandra, it all looks delicious!

So, how much time does it take to prepare this stuff? The problem I was having was making food for Adam and I, then making dinner for the rest of the family .... it's just too time consuming! Well, and we weren't even eating totally raw like you are!

Carla,

It's not that bad. The biggest thing is soaking nuts the night before. You really do have to plan "meals" otherwise you end up eating salads all the time...lol. Last night I chose 3 recpies I wanted to make today and I soaked the seeds/nuts over night and then prepared the "crust" for the pizza this morning and put it in the dehydrator today for 4 hours while we ran errands, etc.

It's not terrible time consuming...just takes more planning. I like recipes that don't require 24 hours of dehydrating because that is just taunting...lol. I made those cocoa nib cookies in 20 min. or less.

Wow, new colors...not saying I don't like them...just WOW, my eyes need to adjust, lol.

This just struck me as funny. ;)

Yeah, every time I type the stupid thing it comes out humanworm first. :lol:

Seriously, though, I am feeling less bloated ... I'm wondering if that's a side effect .... of course it could be a side effect of other parasites, too.

I'm hoping this will clear up. The bloating seems to always be there no matter what I do.

Is anyone going to cheat and eat pumpkin pie, or a roll, or mash potatoes with gravy? If you do cheat for me too o.k.?

Whole Foods has a gluten-free pie, and you'd better believe that if I can find it I'm going to buy and eat it. :P

(And then I'll be taking extra yeast killers, lol).

I just got a new order delivered of their flax and sunflower seeds, and it turns out that they are no longer GFCO-certified. Instead, it just has a generic "Gluten Free" symbol on the package. I reached out to them to ask what protocols/standards/testing they have in place. The person that wrote back said that they are now certifying their gluten free status in-house, but that she couldn't answer my questions related to standards because the person with that info was on vacation. Not very impressed, especially since it still says on their website that they are GFCO-certified. Buyer beware!

But one thing I would like to say to you, no matter where you live, is you mention that your daughter is anxious.  I was always a bit of a nervous, anxious child but before my diagnosis in mid-life my anxiety levels were through the roof.   My anxiety got steadily better when I followed the gluten-free diet and vitamin and mineral deficiencies were addressed.  Anxiety is very common at diagnosis, you may well find that her anxiety will improve once your daughter follows a strict gluten-free diet.

      Welcome to the celic.com community @Dizzyma! I'm assuming you are in the U.K. since you speak of your daughter's celiac disease blood tests as "her bloods".  Has her physician officially diagnosed her has having celiac disease on the results of her blood tests alone? Normally, if the ttg-iga blood test results are positive, a follow-up endoscopy with biopsy of the small bowel lining to check for damage would be ordered to confirm the results of "the bloods". However if the ttg-iga test score is 10x normal or greater, some physicians, particularly in the U.K., will dispense with the endoscopy/biopsy. If there is to be an endoscopy/biopsy, your daughter should not yet begin the gluten free diet as doing so would allow healing of the small bowel lining to commence which may result in a biopsy finding having results that conflict with the blood work. Do you know if an endoscopy/biopsy is planned? Celiac disease can have onset at any stage of life, from infancy to old age. It has a genetic base but the genes remain dormant until and unless triggered by some stress event. The stress event can be many things but it is often a viral infection. About 40% of the general population have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, for most, the genes remain dormant.  Celiac disease is by nature an autoimmune disorder. That is to say, gluten ingestion triggers an immune response that causes the body to attack its own tissues. In this case, the attack happens in he lining of the small bowel, at least classically, though we now know there are other body systems that can sometimes be affected. So, for a person with celiac disease, when they ingest gluten, the body sends attacking cells to battle the gluten which causes inflammation as the gluten is being absorbed into the cells that make up the lining of the small bowel. This causes damage to the cells and over time, wears them down. This lining is composed of billions of tiny finger-like projections and which creates a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients from the food we eat. This area of the intestinal track is where all of our nutrition is absorbed. As these finger-like projections get worn down by the constant inflammation from continued gluten consumption before diagnosis (or after diagnosis in the case of those who are noncompliant) the efficiency of nutrient absorption from what we eat can be drastically reduced. This is why iron deficiency anemia and other nutrient deficiency related medical problems are so common in the celiac population. So, to answer your question about the wisdom of allowing your daughter to consume gluten on a limited basis to retain some tolerance to it, that would not be a sound approach because it would prevent healing of the lining of her small bowel. It would keep the fires of inflammation smoldering. The only wise course is strict adherence to a gluten free diet, once all tests to confirm celiac disease are complete.

      Hi all, I have so many questions and feel like google is giving me very different information. Hoping I may get some more definite answers here. ok, my daughter has been diagnosed as a coeliac as her bloods show anti TTG antibodies are over 128. We have started her  on a full gluten free diet. my concerns are that she wasn’t actually physically sick on her regular diet, she had tummy issues and skin sores. My fear is that she will build up a complete intolerance to gluten and become physically sick if she has gluten. Is there anything to be said for keeping a small bit of gluten in the diet to stop her from developing a total intolerance?  also, she would be an anxious type of person, is it possible that stress is the reason she has become coeliac? I read that diagnosis later in childhood could be following a sickness or stress. How can she have been fine for the first 10 years and then become coeliac? sorry, I’m just very confused and really want to do right by her. I know a coeliac and she has a terrible time after she gets gluttened so just want to make sure going down a total gluten free road is the right choice. thank you for any help or advise xx
