Hey Peeps. :D

I think I should be getting my OAT results back this week. It might be difficult to interpret.....I know there's alot involved. I'm not sure if they send a report with the results??

If not, I'll be busy (probably all week :rolleyes: ) trying to figure it out!!

I'm dying to know about OXALATES!!!

I havent heard anything about Amy as far as scheduling for her next visit. Donna......you might be able to get in this time! :)

Lisa....are you gonna let us know about the pizza or what??!!

Are you ok?? :unsure:

I usually get "drugged" from pizza....of course that doesnt actually stop me from eating it....but thats what happens. :P

P.S.

That pizza looked REALLY good....and pssst....I live alot closer to you than Julie does. ;):lol:

April,

Thanks for sharing your thoughts/concerns in the enzyme thread. I was starting to think I'd entered the "Twilight Zone"!! :blink:

:lol: Yeah, and with MY luck they'll call me for the only two days I actually have appointments while I'm out. Hopefully I'll be able to drive if they call me any other time.

well i never tried the cheese. I havent even taken the pills again since the first night. I was in bed for 99 percent of the day yesterday. I think my body was reacting to getting the arsenic out with the foot pads. I have also been eating lots of different foods that bind to arsenic. It felt like i was having an herx, but not sure if it was really an herx lol.

I also think the onions and garlic was hekping me rid of some parasites.

I woke up feeling much better today. Just trying to get my house in order for the party on thursday. I am determined to have ice cream with the kids on their birthday lol

Rachel,

I hope the test results come with something that will help you decipher it. I want to know too!

Donna,

That's be nice if it works out for you to see Amy at a time you can drive again. :)

Paula,

That does not sound like a fun time yesterday. Glad you're feeling better and hope the ice cream goes over ok for you.

Quick post...I'm waiting for the Dr to call because I had my 2nd iron IV just about an hour ago, and I'm breaking out in a rash, have HORRIFIC back pain out of nowhere, and have hives all over my legs. :o

Let's pray I'm not allergic to this medication! :(

Hey no reaction to the pizza. Nada.:) I even had leftovers. I used organic flour for the crust so that may have helped. NO way I was going to make pizza or anything with regular bleached flours.

My mom and brother said it was the best pizza they ever tasted. It was good. :P .

I haven't had that drugged feeling since starting the zeolite. Girl you gots to be getting some. Just go to Waiora and get some already.

Me and Carla already said it won't hurt.

Yeah Rach if you ever come down to the Fresno area I will make you a pizza. You might like the hottness here. About 100 degrees or something. But it is dry heat, very humid.

Kassandra

Sorry about your reaction to the iron iv's. Can you cook on iron cast skillets or something? My mom always suggests them to pregnant woman because they can't take the supplement form and it works great.

Hey Donna, before you leave us for awhile did that teeth whitening stuff ever work for you? Did you ever get some? Sometimes I wonder if the bugs in me made me so acidic that it started to take the enamel off my teeth. I wonder if anything will help. :(

Yep, I did the teeth whitening stuff. It seemed to work...it's not dramatic but there is a difference. I may repeat it in a few months and see if that does anything more. It's called GoSmile and I got it at Sephora. I only noticed some slight sensitivity on a couple of applications and that only lasted for a few minutes.

EDITED TO ADD:

Here are the ingredients...I wanted to add this because I did NOT check to see if it was gluten free and it has some questionable stuff, lol.

B1 Tooth Whitener:

Alcohol, PVP, Hydrogen Peroxide, Flavor

:lol:

I'm soooooo there! :D

I checked it out the other day.....I dont want a 4 pack though. I just want one freakin zeolite so I can see what its gonna do for me. Cant I just get one?? :huh:

Thats WAY cool that you can cook pizza and brownies and the stuff's not turning to wax. You gotta be LOVING that!! :D:P

Rachel,

I'm pretty sure Great Plains interprets the results....I think I remember reading it on their site. I hope so!

I'm gonna call tomorrow to see if they're in. :)

If you're gonna be around this weekend I'll give you a call. :)

rachel,

You can buy one bottle for 49.95, I just went to look at the zeolite and seen that. Im thinking of getting some, but afraid it might just be another thing to sit in my cabinet lmao.

I also wanted to say glad u are back to posting in here and not in glutenease with some odd people lol

Donna,

Will be thinking of you. Are you call someone from in here after the surgery, so we dont worry the whole time you are away.

Kassandra,

Have you talked to the dr yet. That sounds so scary. Im praying you are not allergic to it.

carla,

Glad you are having fun in florida. Do you ever stay home anymore lol.

Andrea,

It was a terrible day. My poor hubby was really worried about me. I have not had a day that i stayed in bed the whole day for a long time. I am just happy it happened on a day that he was off lol.

We're heading up to our old neighbors on Saturday to raid their garden. They are on vacation and invited us up so the veggies wouldn't go to waste. We'll probably only be gone for 3-4 hours.....hour drive each direction, and the kids will want to play with the dogs. Then we'll be gone Sunday morning.....think we are well enough to head to church again. We'll be home the rest of the weekend though.

But Paula....is it the Waiora brand??

I need the one that Lisa takes. :)

I've known this girl for awhile and no WAY could she eat pizza before! In fact she couldnt even TOUCH pizza before...and actually I'm not even sure if she could LOOK at pizza without getting sick (or without totally ruining the pizza :P ).

Now she's putting up a picture of a whole pizza that she made....she's TOUCHING it and its not turning to WAX!! :o This is REALLY BIG news!!! :D

AND....she's eating leftovers!! :blink:

I have problems with phenols and I'm pretty sure oxalates. Man....I wish I knew if these things had a negative charge?? *sigh*

Anyway, I need to get some of the Waiora stuff so I can have pizza without getting drugged by the toppings. ;)

I also wanted to say glad u are back to posting in here and not in glutenease with some odd people lol

:lol: Yeah...Its a scary world out there!! :o

I totally learned my lesson!! Until the next time... :ph34r:

Dear Everyone,

I am caught up! I have been reading along. :) I am going to try a new supplement soon. It is scary, but must be tried! If you do not make an effort, then you will never know. Perhaps I should have tried it with those cheese-flavored Lay's Stax I just devoured half a tube or so of. :ph34r:

I tried eating vinegar again lately, and paid dearly for it. :( The body odor returned with a vengeance, and the yeast was having a real party. I miss food with taste so much! Tomato products really aggravate it, since they are so incredibly moldy. Stupid mold! :angry:

I am working on gathering my thoughts. The column should be up some time tonight. I need to make my master notes list first. ;) I have four pieces of paper with memory notes about what I would like to respond to. Meanwhile, it is back to laundry and attempting to clean up this house!

Sincerely,

Jin

P.S. Has anyone heard from Rinne, Ami, Sarah, Kristina, or anyone else who has been missing for a while?

Thats it!! Thanks Paula. :)

The other page I was on only had the 4 pack.

Rinne's been here. :) She pops in and out...she's busy with her restaraunt and with eating all of her Rinne bars. :lol:

Me and Sarah were having a good debate on the Glutenease thread. :ph34r:

Havent seen Ami or Kristina in a long time.

Rachel--24 Collaborator

Ok...so it looks like I need phenols and oxalates to have a positive charge. The Zeolite itself has a negative charge.

Zeolite is naturally negatively charged so when ingested into your body all of the positively charged heavy metals, toxins and harmful chemicals bond with the zeolite at the cellular level and are flushed out of the system naturally.

Oooooohhh....I am soooo bringing this to Amy or Anna. I think I'm gonna test well for this......I can just *feel* it. :D

      Hello everyone! Been a while since I posted. The past few moths have been the best by for recovery for myself. I have been the least bloated I have ever been, my constant throat clearing is almost gone, I have stopped almost all medication I was prevously taking (was taking vyvanse for adhd, pristiq for anxiety,fomotadine/blexten for histamine blockers and singulair). Only thing I take now is Tecta. I also no longer get any rashes after eating. Things are going very well. Most success came actually once I upped my B12 daily dose to 5,000 mcg. I do have one thing I am un able to figure out and want to see if anyone else has this issue or has experience working around it. Ever since I was born I have always had a issue getting fruits and veggies down. No matter how hard I tried, it would always result in gagging or throwing up. Always just thought I was a picky eater. Now that my stomach and system has healed enough that I can feel when something is off almost istantly, I notice that after eating most fruits (sometimes I am ok with bananas) and veggies, my stomach instantly starts burning and my heart starts to pound and I get really anxious as if my body doesnt know what to do with what just enetered it. So I am thinking now that this is what probably was going on when I was born and my body started rejecting it before which caused this weird sensory issue with it causing the gagging. Hoping someone has some exprience with this as well because I would love to be able to enjoy a nice fruit smoothie once in a while haha. Thanks everyone!

      i know i've been rather cynical and sad about being fully diagnosed in june 2025, but my boyfriend has been consistently showing me the wonderful world that is gluten free cooking and baking. in the past couple of days he's made me a gluten free rice paper-wrapped spanakopita "pastry", plus a wonderful mac and cheese bechamel-ish sauce with gluten free pasta (san remo brand if you're in australia/if you can get your hands on it wherever you are).  those meals are notably gluten free, but mainly he's been making me easy gluten free meals - chili mince with white rice and sour cream, chicken soup with homemade stock from the chicken remains, and roast chickens with rice flour gravy and roast veggies. i'm a bit too thankful and grateful lol. how lucky could i possibly be? and, of course, for those who don't have someone to cook for them, it's quite easy to learn to cook for yourself. i've been making a lot of meals for us too. honestly, cooking is pretty darn fun! knowing basic knife skills and sanitary practices are all you really need. experimenting with spices will help you get on track to creating some really flavourful and yummy dishes. coeliac is a pain, but you can use it to your advantage. healthier eating and having fun in the kitchen are major upsides. much luck to all of you! let's be healthy!

      That test is saying that your daughter is not making normal amounts of any IGA antibodies.  She's not making normal amounts of antibodies against gliadin, not against bacteria, not against viruses.  She is deficient in total IGA, so the test for antigliadin antibodies is not valid.  The test was a failure.  The test only works if all different kinds of antibodies were being made.  Your daughter is not making all different kinds of antibodies, so the test results are moot.  Your daughter should have the DGP IgG and TTG IgG tests done.   The tests should be performed while she is still consuming gluten.  Stopping and restarting a gluten containing diet can make her more sick, just like you refuse to eat gluten for testing.  Call the doctor's office, request both the IGG tests. Request to be put on the cancellation list for an appointment sooner.  Ask for genetic testing.   Celiac disease is passed on from parents to children.  You and all seven children should be tested for genes for Celiac disease.  Your parents, your siblings and their children should be tested as well.  Eating gluten is not required for genetic testing because your genes don't change.  Genetic testing is not a diagnosis of Celiac disease.  Just having the genes means there is the potential of developing Celiac disease if the Celiac genes are activated.  Genetic testing helps us decide if the Celiac genes are activated when coupled with physical symptoms, antibody testing, and biopsy examination. It's frustrating when doctors get it wrong and we suffer for it.  Hang in there.  You're a good mom for pursuing this!

      @hjayne19, So glad you found the information helpful.  I know how difficult my struggle with anxiety has been.  I've been finding things that helped me and sharing that with others makes my journey worthwhile. I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  It contains the easily activated forms of B vitamins needed by people with the MTHFR genetic variation often found with Celiac disease.   Avoid B Complex vitamins if they contain Thiamine Mononitrate if possible.  (Read the ingredients listing.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is the "shelf-stable" form of B 1 that the body can't utilize.  B vitamins breakdown when exposed to heat and light, and over time.  So "shelf-stable" forms won't breakdown sitting on a shelf in a bright store waiting to be bought.  (It's also very cheap.)  Thiamine Mononitrate is so shelf-stable that the body only absorbs about thirty percent of it, and less than that is utilized.  It takes thiamine already in the body to turn Thiamine Mononitrate into an active form.   I take MegaBenfotiamine by Life Extension.  Benfotiamine has been shown to promote intestinal healing, neuropathy, brain function, glycemic control, and athletic performance.   I take TTFD-B1 Max by Maxlife Naturals, Ecological Formulas Allthiamine (TTFD), or Thiamax by EO Nutrition.  Thiamine Tetrahydrofurfuryl Disulfide (TTFD for short) gets into the brain and makes a huge difference with the anxiety and getting the brain off the hamster wheel.  Especially when taken with Magnesium Threonate.   Any form of Thiamine needs Magnesium to make life sustaining enzymes and energy.  I like NeuroMag by Life Extension.  It contains Magnesium Threonate, a form of magnesium that easily crosses the blood brain barrier.  My brain felt like it gave a huge sigh of relief and relaxed when I started taking this and still makes a difference daily.   Other brands of supplements i like are Now Foods, Amazing Formulas, Doctor's Best, Nature's Way, Best Naturals, Thorne, EO Nutrition. Naturewise.  But I do read the ingredients labels all the time just to be sure they are gluten and dairy free. Glad to help with further questions.

      Welcome to the celiac.com community @pothosqueen!   Can you be more specific about which IGA test was run that resulted in 114 score and said to be "normal" and could you please include the reference range for what would be normal? By the size of that number it looks like it may have been what we call "total IGA" but that test is not usually run without also running a TTG-IGA. Total IGA tests for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient, then the celiac-specific IGA tests like the TTG-IGA will be inaccurate. Was this the only IGA test that was run? To answer, your question, yes, a positive biopsy is normally definitive for celiac disease but there are some other medical conditions, some medications and even some food proteins in rare cases that can cause positive biopsies. But it is pretty unlikely that it is due to anything other than celiac disease.
