Sherry,

I don't know if I would test poorly for Mepron because she seems to have an issue with prescription drugs. It's a good question. I am not really too worried about what she said because I really trust my LLMD and his NP. I will take into consideration some of the things she said, but I'm not going to stop taking Mepron or Zith because I didn't test well for them.

Also, she said that she could get rid of my insomnia by me taking these little pellets...well, I didn't fall asleep without Ambien last night, so I don't know. I'm also not willing to lose up to 12 days of sleep, which is how long she said it would take.

My sleep issues are only because I am not able to do enough to get tired enough. I have never had insomnia, and I know that once I have more energy to do more things, I will be able to sleep better. :)

Sherry,

Sounds like you had a very busy, tiring day. That's a lot of traveling!

Happy B day Carla. What are you like 36, 37? ^_^

Hi everyone.

Yeah Julie I still have my amalgams. About 6 of them and I know this is one reason I taste metal so bad. That is actually maybe a good thing since it warned me about the rust coming in from outside my window.

About the foot detox pads, did you know that Avon sells them now? My mom was showing me the avon catalog that she orders from. :rolleyes: They really do have detox foot pads that you can order. I don't know if I would order them from Avon..

So for the rust I have been taking bentonite clay, vegetable binder and zeolite hp from nutramedix.

I really want to try the zeolite from waiora. I have been to several conferences and the product seems promising about how thier zeolite can pull many toxins and metals from the body.

There zeolite has been cleared of toxins and metal, where most zeolites have many toxins and metals on them already. I don't know, have to see...

Mia, I just finally ordered my detox foot pads yesterday. I'm really not all that excited to try them because I think I'm probably gonna react to them.

I only ordered the minimum (20) and I'll see what happens. Once I saw the ingredients on the pads my excitement faded pretty fast. Its all stuff I know my body cant process very well. I just dont know how much of it will be absorbed into my system and if it'll be enough to cause problems.

I know that the castor oil from the packs I tried last year was enough to totally cause all kinds of symptoms after about 15 minutes over my mid-section. Way too much salicylate I think. :blink:

I hope its not the same problem with the foot pads but they do contain salicylates. :(

I got my molybdenum in the mail today. :)

I cant try it until next week because I have to stop taking minerals 4 days prior to my bloodtest on Monday. I got impatient and bought a lesser quality brand of it at the health store but I only took one because as soon as I swallowed it I started reacting. :rolleyes:

Hopefully that wont be the case with this stuff.

Kassandra....did you send an email about the appt. with the practitioner who did muscle testing or did you post about it? I didnt see any posts...if you sent an email...can I have one? :)

If you dont mind coming to the bay area once every 3 months maybe you can try to see Amy. She's great...I think you'd really like her. I dont feel that she's anti-abx or prescription meds...she wanted me on Alinia for parasites rather than any of the herbal treatments....which I didnt test well for.

She has me on prescription drugs for chelation rather than some of the other options...because thats what I test well for.

I've heard some good things about zeolite. Do you think its helping you Lisa?

Cool that you're getting out there and learning all this stuff. I wanna go to a conference too! :lol:

Even though most people I talk to are pretty understanding and even interested in some of this stuff...in the beginning noone really "gets it". Its all new to them....most of us wouldn't have a clue if we hadnt gotten sick. Well...I know I wouldnt....I'd still be living off Big-Macs (and loving it!). :D

I wouldnt have heard of any of the things we discuss here.

Theres a customer who shops at my store. Nice guy...gave me a rose on Valentines Day...asked me out a couple times. I declined and told him I'm pretty much doing my own thing...not looking to date anyone. I said I have health issues I'm working on, etc. etc.

He ended up asking me about my health...and mentioning herbal treatments. I didnt want to go into any detail about my problems...just said that I got really toxic and cant tolerate foods, herbal treatments, etc. But thanks for the suggesstions. :)

He said he understood what I was talking about...that he was working on detox too....with some herbal stuff. Lots of people say they understand but they really dont...they dont get the whole picture until I really explain it to them.

Today he came in and asked when we're gonna go out for...water?? :lol::lol:

Anyways, he handed me a paper with some stuff he thought might be helpful for me. He had written down some stuff about EDTA chelation, zeolites and some other stuff. All stuff having to do with heavy metals and detox. :blink:

That totally impressed me!! :o

Ok...I'm still not trying to date anyone but I did appreciate that he had taken the time to write that stuff down for me. It was sweet. :)

I guess he must have some understanding even with what little info. I gave him. I'm not used to meeting people who already have some knowledge about any of this....except for the ones I meet in the doctor's office. :P

Also shocking that I didnt have to go into great detail for someone to really understand what I'm taking about when I say I'm toxic and cant eat anything. :lol:

Sure, I'll send you an email. I don't know if I'm really interested in seeing yet another Dr right now. I have heard GREAT things about Dr Amy, but I just think I need to stick it out a little bit longer with my Dr's. I could see going to see Dr Amy if I don't make any progress, but for now that's not the case.

Also, $$$$$. LOL! These things get so expensive!

Yep, I think a guy that is willing to go out for water sounds like someone worth checking out--friendship anyway.

I asked today at the local pharmacy about detox foot pads, and she knew what they were. Said they were Chinese not Japanese! So I'll keep looking.

Rachel, I don't know if you're interested in this or not, but IGeneX has a new test .... if you have an equivocal result and had band 30 or 31 show up, they can run this test to see whether that band is from borrelia or not.

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
