I'm not really touching it. Look closely at my HANDS!!! :lol:

LOL.....yeah...but I still think that back when you were "super toxic" you could have turned that pan black and then turned that pizza to wax...before anyone even got a chance to taste it. :P

The gloves wouldnt have done much to protect the pizza (or the pan) back then. :lol:

I'm still impressed. I'm still gonna get me some zeolite. ;)

Lisa,

How does zeolite compare to something like DMPS??

Is zeolite mainly for metals? What other toxins can it deal with?

Biggest change is that I have to go on the SCD diet. The tests show that I cannot handle disaccharides at all. My LLMD thinks this will make quite a bit of difference in how I feel.

What test did you do for disccharides?

I tried SCD a couple years ago and quickly got much worse. I couldnt handle any of the SCD foods.....phenols and all of that. :(

Did you look into Pure Encapsulations Rachel?

Thanks Julie....I just did. :)

I forgot about that one! I actually have Pure Encapsulations Magnesium...but I react to it!! :huh:

I dont know what the heck it is about all these supplements. <_<

I do ok with my enzymes....but not much else. I have a feeling I'll have the same problem with their Calcium if I order it...so I'm gonna hold off for now. :(

Kassandra,

Glad you're back.....sorry you had to go through all of that scary stuff yesterday.

Yeah...you can suddenly become allergic out of nowhere. :(

My body reacts to things but I've never had any true allergic reactions...nothing as scary as an anaphylatic episode.

So I'm glad you're ok now. :)

Well...I have no idea cuz I'm not a "scientist" and I dont know a whole lot about zeolites.

BUT....I'm thinking there's a *possibility* it could be helpful with oxalates. I'm not so sure it can do anything about phenols or candida byproducts (alcohol and acetaldehyde)....but if it can pick up metals...it *might* do something about oxalates??

Dunno....but I think its my next experiment. :D

Lisa...candida toxins and zeolites?? Do you know if its effective for that? What toxins is it getting to mainly?

I found audio files on Zeolite.

Its good stuff....check it out. :)

Open Original Shared Link

....AND...there is this ---> "Important: NCD's beneficial effect with yeast"

So yeah...I'm gonna listen to these files and then I'm gonna order it. :D

....and then I'm gonna eat pizza....hehe. :P

Seriously, I dont know if it'll help..... but its worth a try. :)

rachel,

Do you know of any laws and research about autism in florida. I have an online friend that has one kid with autism and now she thinks another one has it. But she cant get insurance for one, and the the insurance for the ohter one wont cover autism testing.

paula

p.s

I have had an terrible day with my step-son, can you all keep us in your prayers.

rachel, I would order it from Waiora and not a secondary marketer. I don't know if they have the 30 day money back guarantee like Waiora does. IF you google Waiora and just click on products at the top, there will be individual bottles for sale.

Paula...what do you mean "autism testing"?

As far as I know there isnt a specific test for it......it just is what it is.

I dont know about the laws or anything like that. I only know about the testing/treatment aspect of it. Most of that stuff is "biomedical"....its outside of the mainstream...and probably alot of it isnt covered by insurance.

I have the same types of testing/treatment...and I get covered 50%....but she might not get anything depending on her insurance. If I were still in my HMO...I wouldnt have any coverage for this stuff.

Would an hair test help at all or the ezymes that we take. I once told her baout detox baths and she ignored it.

We have the same insurance so i know lol

I believe citric acid is from aspergillus specifically. Maybe you're sensitive to aspergillus??

Damn...I wish I could I could have a beer and feel fine!!

OK...I need supplement help!

I need calcium citrate....without any Vit. D added in. Just plain calcium....NO excipients and no other unnecessary junk. I just need calcium....is that too much to ask?? :rolleyes:

I cant find anything. :(

Rachel-

my doc used to get me just plain calcium in posder form with nothing added I can try to find out where he got it if you want

Theres alot of things that can help.....but each child has their own issues.....its not the same for everyone.

For starters the gluten free/ casein free diet. That one is pretty much a no brainer. If she's not willing to do it....then yeah...enzymes would be useful. Not just any enzymes though...it would need to be the ones with DPPIV.

Epson salt baths are good....there are so many things but if a parent isnt willing to try it....there's not much you can do.

I dont know how severe or mild the autism is....and I dont know if yeast is an issue....but antifungals can do wonders for the "yeasty" kids.

Avoiding food additives, preservatives, food dyes and all of those things can also do wonders for the kids brain function.

It just depends on how willing she is to start doing these things.

There's no known interaction between the Iron and Rocephin. I will have to talk to the Hematologist on Tuesday and see what he wants to do.

It is possible to develop allergic reactions to anything and any given moment. People eat peanuts their whole life, then suddenly stop breathing one day....so it was definitely the iron. The thing that is so bizarre is that I had one on Monday and had NO problems at all! Then yesterday had a severe reaction. So who really knows? :P

Did you have the IV abx monday too? Could be the combination did it or it was the abx causing the reaction yesterday. It would be wierd to think you would react to the iron itself??? But I guess anything's possible. Wonder if there is anything in there besides Iron?

I know that was so scary. I *thought* I was having an anaphylatic reaction about 2 years ago and went to the ER after taking a dose of amoxicillin. It was the scariest thing in my whole life.

What happened with your step son?

Is it that they are trying to get the "diagnosis" so he can qualify for treatments? Motor skill training and all that?

That's what my friend did...although, I think they are missing the "bigger" picture in most cases.

With the drunken brainfog, two days! :) I had a lot of toxic acne where my lymp nodes are. I no longer have that toxic acne. The scares are even disappering. Everyone at the Waiora meetings are shocked. My ph balance even with candida has diminished greatly. My hair started growing back and getting more shine to it. It's awesome.

Yeah...definately missing the bigger picture. This is pretty much all that the conventional side offers (I think)....and I do think its important and it helps...but there is nothing addressed as far as underlying issues....its all just "training". The problems that are causing the autism dont get resolved this way.

I think if you are addressing the underlying issues there is less need for "training" because the child is more capable of understanding and communicating.

Paula,

I have an idea.

Have her read Jenny McCarthy's book "Louder Than Words, A Mother's Journey In Healing Autism".

I read it last year and it was a very good book....easy to read and easy to understand.

      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...

      Fruits & Veggies

      By Jordan Carlson · Posted

      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!

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.

      Positive biopsy

      By trents · Posted

      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.
