Happy Birthday, Sherry!

I think China is ahead of us .....

Donna, I really feel it is helping with the bloating, and nothing has before. :) Fortunately, today I did not see any tapeworm. :) I SAW about 4 feet, and I didn't do a thorough search, so there very well could have been more. It was making me nauseous for quite some time after I used the bathroom .... I think just the idea of it nauseated me!

I have to adjust to the new colors, too! I'm looking at it for the first time and don't have my glasses on ... so we'll see later! I didn't like the gray and blue, but I liked the blue it was before .... I think I'll like the green ... it's my favorite color!

I'm not so sure I like the new board format. It's a little confusing...I guess I'll get used to it. ;)

Okay, I have REALLY GOOD NEWS!!! The insurance has approved up to $800 a day for iron IV's!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since the IV's cost about $300- 500 a day, so there will be enough for a PICC line also. The Dr. just needs to order that and figure out exactly how this will all work out. I am so relieved!!!

On another note, the Igenex stuff still hasn't gone through. We decided that we are going to get blood drawn through the Medical Group I was going to (the ones who ran the most recent blood work) and since it's only $35 for the Western Blot, my mom figures if it comes back positive then great...but if its negative we will pursue Igenex.

catesfolly, you aren't interupting! Jump in any time.

YIKES is right! Thanks for posting that.

Kassandra, GREAT NEWS on the insurance coming through for your iron IV's!! I am sure you and your family are so relived about that.

That is the route I went, same price for the test, might even be the same lab. Igenex is the next step so you can see how that one worked out for me :lol:

Anybody heard from SUsie UK? She hasn't posted in a long time.

Carla, that's good you are noticing less bloating with the product.

You must be feeling well, I can tell when you aren't around as much you are probably out and about living your life!

I don't care for the board change, I love green, but I can't read this very well, the posts are muddled together :(

catesfolly, thanks for posting that!

Kassandra, I'm glad the iron is covered ... and the Western Blot sounds like a good idea, maybe you'll get a positive and won't have to worry about IGeneX.

It looks like I am going to get through this cold without a Lyme flare! This is HUGE! I do have more muscle aches than normal, and a little knee pain, but a small cold used to send me to bed for two weeks .... this time it was a fever and bed only one day. :)

Thanks Catefolly. I've heard lots of stuff about how bad cell and cordless phones are. It's interesting to see a report on it.

Is Igenex in your future?

Susie UK was reading a day or two ago.

Yep, Carla's not on as much when she's feeling better.

I don't like the format very well. I agree it's hard to read the posts now with the poster information strung across the top of the post instead of the side. I do like the green color though.

YAY!!!!!

Kassandra,

I thought I'd hit quote for your post.....anyway YAY on getting the IV's approved!

I do hope your mom will follow through with Igenex if your other lyme test comes out negative.....which I won't be surprised if it does......see Julies response.

Unfortunately this stuff is true. I've posted a little about it awhile back. There is a definate link and very often people who are highly toxic with metals will notice reactions to EMF's. There was a time when I'd feel it just sitting in front of the computer...although its not so bad anymore.

My Dr.'s have talked to me about EMF's and I've been tested for EMF stress...and they did find that my body was under some stress from that. I had to stop using my electric blanket and I unplugged the cordless phone that was in my room...also the alram clock that was over my head.

I'm supposed to avoid putting my cell phone up to my head but I havent addressed that yet. :ph34r:

One of my Dr.'s said that this is definately showing up as a problem with her autistic kids. She said some of them will go nuts when they get around a cell phone tower...and some have to be holding onto some type of electronic device at all times or they have meltdowns.

I asked her if this stuff is gonna prevent me from recovering. She said that right now we just really need to focus on getting the metals out.

She also told me to not put my body right next to the computer tower....she said to keep my body away from it as much as possible.

I cant read the board as well....it hurts my eyes. :(

I'm not sure what it is cuz I love green ....its my favorite color...but my eyes dont adjust too well to this. All the posts seem to run together. :unsure:

Hopefully my eyes will adjust cuz right now its hard for me to read the posts.

Maybe its the font?? Is the font lighter or something?? :unsure:

Julie,

Lol! I am not expecting anything from this lab. If it comes back negative, we will pursue Igenex, but if it's positive, we won't unless the LLMD wants us to.

Tom,

Lol!! Thank you! We are very happy! Now I am freaked out to get the PICC line! AHH!!

Everyone,

The place that was going to run the test for Lyme (western blot) didn't call me back today! I guess I will have to wait until Monday or Tuesday.

You might be in for a little bit of a longer wait with the timing of all of this. It will be a short week for offices/labs next week with Thanksgiving.

I had EMF stress come up on my ASYRA testing. I'm still on the computer almost all day. :(

Looks like the main board color has been toned down now........still light print though.

I had DMPS again yesterday. It went really well...no problems at all.

I wish I had been collecting urine again but I do feel alot better knowing that last time the metals were coming out.

I wish I had started earlier so that I might be eating holiday food this year. :(

I had a baby dose again (1cc). My Dr. wrote on my chart "DMPS 1-3". The nurse told me since he wrote that I could pick which dose I want 1-3. :huh: I was really tempted to say "2 please". :)

I know what my Dr. meant by 1-3...so I told her he wants me to start with 1 and then work up to 3.

So I got the smallest again. :rolleyes:

I asked her if anyone else is getting 1cc...and she said no..that most people get 5cc's...which is the "normal" dose. I said "Everyone else is getting 5 cc's??" :blink:

She said thats what most people get. I told her my doc said I probably wont ever have 5 cc's. :(

Dear Everyone,

Just when I thought I was getting caught up, there was more! Do not worry, I am reading along and will post soon. I have been busy, but will respond shortly.

I just worry this new format will mess up my ability to recall things as well. Tomorrow, I may get my hair done! Maybe by this time tomorrow, I will have my Jen Zen going on!

Sincerely,

Jin

So I know plenty of you have had to deal with insomnia, so I was just wondering what is something that I can get over the counter that won't make me sleep for 10 days straight...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
