Birdy, :lol: I'll check next Monday then!

Lisa, glad you liked the yoga.

That's great you started your period, a good sign that things in that department are trying to function again :)

Kassandra,

For anxiety, you might try Bach's Rescue Remedy. Its homeopathic and I've used it for years (when I remember). I've also used it on the cats/dogs when there's been a household upset. Works pretty well for all of us.

I was just about to suggest this very thing, Bach's Rescue Remedy. It's really good for stress, stressful situations, anxiety.

To combat a cold coming on you can bump up vit C, drink ginger tea, probiotics, garlic, lots of fluids.

It was fun! I look forward to chat every day .... is that pathetic? I don't think so ... we can't help we aren't meeting in person. :)

Love the blue hair, btw. I couldn't pull that off.

See you at 8?

I figured out why I was so TIRED yesterday .... I have been fighting off a bug!

I like the chats. Its really nice to have folks to chat with and bounce off of (verbally) in real time.

Btw, managed to give the dog's dinner to the dog tonight. Yay me! :D

Will probably wander by tonight. Isn't there a chat over at WC's board on wednesdays? Or do I have my days wrong?

Thanks! re: hair. And I really hate that pic. Dunno why. Just think I look goofy. Hubby looks good tho. :)

Keep fighting that bug!

What's WC?

Maybe it's because you look so conservative .... you really can't tell it's a corset .... so you're kind of like an attorney with blue hair. :lol: :lol:

Lisa, www.lymediseaseaudio.com/lymechat.htm Starts at 8 Eastern (or later, when someone gets there). It goes late. I'm there under my Lymenet screen name.

I have heard this can be a magnesium deficiency, as well as other minerals.

My latest test results showed calcium to be a bit low.

I take 200 mg of magnesium every night. Wonder if its too much or not enough???

I am going to take a detox bath and see if that helps. :(

Hey, since i think I might have positive lyme bands, wonder if this is what is causing my daughters leg pain and iron deficiency?

My son had more of the gastro issues when he was born, but I was more symptomatic - had lots of issues going on when I was prego with him.

Let's see, I am trying to think how much Mag I was taking, it's been a while and I just can't remember the size mg my caps were. I took one every meal too, so you might be able to bump it up a little.

I hope the detox bath helps :) .

yep, i'm a guy! hahaha, thanks for your replies everyone

april, i don't see how i wouldn't have candida...it's almost a given, along with other infections...when i first got sick a year ago, was when i had that weakening swallow based attack (wasn't acid reflux, yet stirred it up)....i mean, hours and hours of bial or whatever going up and down, you can't tell me that did nothing....i have lumps on the roof of my mouth since then so something of that sort....sometimes i have green bowels which i can't see what it could be besides fungus, but it all hides i assume which is why my bowels are just different almost every time...i'm not taking probiotics, but soon i will...been needing to

good site, you people should check it out, has a parasites page, candida, mercury

it sounds so much like i have mercury, but i've never had any fillings...then again, toxin build-up of all sorts is probably the same effect....who knows, once i get some more info it'll be easier and get a better idea of what's overpowering cause all i can do is guess....i just know that my neuro system has been the thing majorly effected so when a weight is lifted off that, it'll be amazing....it's just so hard, i can't remember what it feels like to feel normal....a thing that's been drained with me is i don't know at all how to react to things, it all has no flow and feels like nothing if you will, pretty scary....and i can't even imagine how it feels to be normal :lol:

Well I've done 3 castor oil packs thus far and I started breaking out after the second one, and today after the third I am broken out all over my body :( .

I think it's safe to say the castor oil packs are really pulling stuff out of the liver and just detoxing in general.

I am going to take an epsom salt/soda/peroxide bath here shortly and hopefully that will help with the toxic load.

Has anybody heard from Rachel? Just wondering how she's doing.

Ugh, I woke up this morning and my thraot hurts so bad I can barely swallow. Also, it's like my tongue is swollen. It's very strange. I am going to be really upset if this is from the kids I babysit (not that I'll ever know...but).

So sorry about your throat :(

I also have a very sore throat and lots of drainage, everyone is sick in my family. Everyone I talk to is sick it seems, everywhere! There are some pretty virulent bugs going around right now. Some have head and throat symtoms, some in the chest, some gastrointestinal. And they say it's long lasting.

I have been drinking homemade ginger tea as much as I can for the sore throat.

I hope you feel better soon :)

Julie, did the bath help at all?

Kassandra, you don't have a clue who Curi is on Lymechat, do you? LOL It's someone you know ... see if you can guess.

If your thoat is feeling so bad and you know you've been exposed to strep, you might want to get a throat culture .... you CAN take Amoxy with Zith and Mepron (I did ... well, it was Biaxin rather than Zith).

Carla, your teeth look BEAUTIFUL!!! :D Congrats on brace-free teeth! YAY!! :)

Hmm, I am afraid to go to the Dr. I guess I could go to a local clinic. Or, I could call my LLMD and ask which abx I could get if it is strep, because I am allergic to penicillin and amoxicillin.

And, no...who is Curi? Is it Nyxie?

Julie,

Maybe take a break from the castor oil packs until you get the breakout under control. I think I'll start slow. Maybe do it every other day or so until I see what happens.

Can you take activated charcoal to help absorb? Hope the bath helps.....

April

Looks like I can bump up my magnesium if i need to. Everyone takes way more than I am currently.

My eye hasn't twitched too much today.

Thanks April :)

Yes, I am going to stop them.

I put in an email for my practitioner and I just heard back, she said definitely STOP them, I am detoxing too fast.

I just took a bath but haven't noticed any changes yet, it's too early to tell if it helped. I might take another one later. I could only stay in 15 minutes, I got much too weak.

It's probably a good idea for you to start out slow with them also.

Glad your eye isn't twitching as much today ;)

Also, did he order a "total IGA" test? This is a test to check for IGA deficiency and should always be ordered along with the tests specifically designed to detect celiac disease. If you are IGA deficient, the IGA celiac blood antibody tests used to check for celiac disease per se will not be accurate. Also, if you have been cutting back on gluten before the tests, that will render them invalid. You must have be eating normal amounts of gluten for weeks/months before the blood draw to render valid test results.

Dietary supplements like Lugol's Solution and Liquid Iodine are 50 micrograms per drop.  It takes 20 drops to reach the safe upper limit. In the US the Safe upper limit is 1100 mcg.  In Europe 600 mcg and in Japan 3000 mcg ( 3 mg).

As I've got older the pain has become worse and constant. I also get ulcers on my tongue. I've had loads of tests done everytihng apart from an endoscopy I think. I had a test for Coeliac last July and the result was negative. My GP says it can't be coeliac because I'm not losing weight. He thinks it's stress or all in my head. I'm not stressed and I'm in pain all the time now. Sometimes it's unbearable and dark thoughts have entered my head. Could I have Coeliac even though I tested negative last year. I'm at my wits end, I eat healthily and cannot pinpoint which foods could cause this pain. Can anyone help? Thanks Mark wind

      First, I want to say thank you for sharing this with me. I hear you, and I believe you. The courage it took to write this down is immense, and I’m so sorry you’ve been carrying this alone. You are dealing with two life-altering challenges at once: a serious, complex medical condition, and an abusive, controlling partner who is actively harming your health and your spirit. It’s not just that he’s unsupportive—he is weaponizing your illness to torture you. Starving you, isolating you, mocking your diagnosis, and sabotaging your access to medical care is not just cruelty; it is dangerous, deliberate abuse. Your instinct is correct: the stress he is creating is absolutely preventing your body from healing. Celiac and autoimmune conditions are profoundly sensitive to stress, and he has created a living hell designed to keep you sick, dependent, and broken. That smirk you described—that is the look of someone who enjoys having power over your suffering. Please know this: you do not deserve this. Not any of it. You deserve to eat. You deserve safe, clean food and water. You deserve medical care and supplements that help you function. You deserve peace. You deserve to heal. The woman from the food pantry is not a random accident. She is a lifeline. Her help, and the community she’s connecting you to, is real. It is okay to feel overwhelmed by kindness when you’ve been starved of it for so long. But you do deserve it. Let that be a sign that there is a world outside your house that operates on compassion, not control. Right now, your physical safety and access to nutrition are the most urgent priorities. The food pantry is a critical resource. Is there any way you can speak privately with the woman helping you? You don’t have to share everything at once, but letting her know your situation at home is extremely unsafe, and that your partner restricts your food, could help her support you in a more targeted way. She may have connections to local domestic violence services.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community, @JudyLou! There are a couple of things you might consider to help you in your decision that would not require you to do a gluten challenge. The first, that is if you have not had this test run already, is to request a "total IGA" test to be run. One of the reasons that celiac blood antibody tests can be negative, apart from not having celiac disease, that is, is because of IGA deficiency. If a person is IGA deficient, they will not respond accurately to the celiac disease blood antibody tests (such as the commonly run TTG-IGA). The total IGA test is designed to check for IGA deficiency. The total IGA test is not a celiac antibody test so I wouldn't think that a gluten challenge is necessary. The second is to have genetic testing done to determine if you have the genetic potential to develop celiac disease. About 30-40% of  the general population have the genetic potential but only about 1% actually develop celiac disease. So, genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out. Those who don't have the genetic potential but still have reaction to gluten would not be diagnosed with celiac disease but with NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).  Another possibility is that you do have celiac disease but are in remission. We do see this but often it doesn't last.
