Omg...i Might Be On To Something

I have not been posting much, this flu has completely wiped me out. So I haven't been to the store or able to cook, but I had to go to work (huge project) so I went and bought lunch.

Long story short... I got a veggie burger (w/out bun) instead of a plain hamburger, even after going through the order twice with the waitress.

I consumed one forkful before realizing it. The burger contained bulgar and breadcrumbs.

This was a 1pm

I was more upset than sad. I couldn't even eat anything else. Got my money back and left. Now in the middle of having the flu I am now freaking out that my digestive issues are about to go to the n power.

In a way I guess this will be a "test" as to whether or not I have celiac disease.

Any advice or time line for bodily response? (I have been gluten free for 6 months, some blood work indicative of celiac, some not, and biopsies that are "normal")

cursing like a truck driver,

Kristina

Kristina,

I'm sorry that happened. I have no idea what to expect. I usually get severly nauseated after being glutened...like within 25 minutes or so.

Paula,

I know...between this thread and now online chatting...FORGET IT! LOL! :lol:

I also got a Yahoo messenger thing...chatting with Andrea right now, but I can't see the messages at all! Wierd! If anyone wants my name...PM me.

Thanks Kassandra.

I tried to puke it up, but I just couldn't.

I feel like a messed-up Mr. Wizard experimental body.

Lol Donna! Does it allow Yahoo messenger? My dad's work used to have all kinds of firewalls but he was allowed to use Yahoo for some reason.

I am pretty fast, but I have friends who type like freakin' speedsters! :D

Here's something I found about parasites and insomnia:

"Parasites produce a great deal of ammonia as their waste product. Ammonia is their equivalent of urine and it is set free in our bodies by parasites in large amounts. Ammonia is very toxic, especially to the brain. I believe this causes insomnia and other sleep problems at night and anxiety by day."

Also I found out that wormwood (humaworm ingredient) can cause insomnia.

That's interesting Sherry.

I had thought wormwood had a narcotic effect in the body. When I was taking wormwood/black walnut complex I always felt really fatigued.

Ok since we are talking about worms i have an question, i was just talking to my mom earlier today and she said when she was a kid she had worms and they made her sit over an bucket of hot water, but that is all she remembers, would that be pin worms or something else, and she remembers she was so sick as a child and so skinny and ill and everyone felt sorry for her. This would not be sent down to me would it?

I haven't talked much about my laser, but I use it pretty regularly. You're not supposed to do the detox stuff for 8 weeks, so I have been using the other "laser balancing" stuff.

This herx was the worst I've had in a long time. I don't know why .... but the Tindamax doesn't help! It was also my first month on Rifampin, so that could have contributed, too.

Anyway, this morning I decided to do the detox one for drugs. I feel better this afternoon and still have tomorrow to go on my Tindamax. I don't know that the drug compilation helped at all, but it didn't make me feel bad.

This laser, from what I understand, works the same as LED, but there aren't as many vials to choose from.

Well, I just thought I'd give you a laser update.

Here's info about the laser

Open Original Shared Link

Some here have used LED for detoxing .... I thought I'd try this laser, which is similar and something I can do at home. I thought that if I wanted to do more serious detoxing with lasers, then I could go to someone for the LED.

Hum, I don't know, lol. I've tried a few different chat rooms, but not Yahoo or MSN. Typing...I'm extra slow because I don't know all the shortcuts...I don't text, so I'd be typing out whole words, lol.

You must be close to my good friend (the one that I always travel with, lol). I am 6 months older than she is and she never lets me forget it. :lol:

And, Donna, you should have one. :)

Honestly, it's hard to tell whether I've had benefit from it or not. I know our parakeet has, LOL. That's why I wanted to start detoxing with it.

Kassandra, I take one every day.

Carla,

Okay. Thanks, I was going to ask the LLMD and still will, but I was wondering how much you took. :)

Everyone,

I was just reading on LN about nightmares and it reminded me! I had another nightmare last night!! :( I was being stabbed with a knife by these two men, but then I stabbed one back and KILLED him! :huh::lol::o Ahhh, how awful!? I don't know what the deal is with this! <_<

Hey everyone, hi everyone hi.

Well it's been 3 days, no ice cream. :D

Went for laser therapy and acupuncture yesterday. It went well.

Dr. M. says I'm going to live. That's good news huh. :)

I hate acupunture. I don't like needles at all. Some don't hurt, some do. The one he put in my labia and in my gums hurt though. Is someone else going to start to see Dr. M.? Dee was mentioning it but he says we can't talk about other patients so the

conversation ceased. I bought some dried organic apricots from him, about 3 pounds worth for constipation, some unbuffered vitamin c. Man that stuff cleaned me out today which is good I suppose.

I'm at the library. It smells sooo perfumy in herer that I can taste it yuck.

Dee was getting dizzy after the laser therapy yesterday. She had to leave the room because of all the toxins coming off my body. SHe held my hand during acupunture. Like I was having a baby or something, and my hand was sweating, she could taste my toxins. She said they taste like iron. :blink:

I will be doing ecoffees now 2 to 3 times a week. Doc wants me doing them.

Well times almost up.

Take care guys

your friend

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
