OMG.....I just toured all of the forums...and the various threads. Those Zeolite ads are only showing up on top of THIS thread. :huh:

They're targeting us OMG'ers because they know we're all toxic!! :blink:

You wont find zeolite ads above the other topics....I think it's just for us. :unsure:

OMG...I think I might be on to something! :o

Lisa...other Waiora distributors have their link's up there. Maybe you can ask Scott how you can get your link up there too. That way if anyone wants to purchase the zeolite....you can just say "scroll up to the blue link." :D

Everyone else gets ads for gluten free foods and such. I guess they realize we cant eat that stuff....so instead we get zeolite ads! :huh:

Aaaauuuuurrrrrrrrgggghhhh!!! There's that song again! :lol:

I only take 15 chlorella tablets right now. I'll be taking 52 on the removal days though. That's a lot of chlorella! :o

The ads are keyword based. Since we talk about zeolite, they are going to show up. You have to pay for those through google.

Aaaaaah....that explains it Andrea. :)

Its nice to know that we're not being targeted as the "toxic crowd". :lol:

I was kind of freaked out that they were only appearing in this thread. :unsure:

So does this mean that whatever I talk about will be advertised at the top of the page?? :huh:

hmmmm...

bad girls, bad girls...whatcha gonna do.... :lol:

Kassandra....something has to be causing the anemia. So maybe if that underlying problem were addressed the situation would improve?? Just a thought.

Yes, I totally agree with you. Dr H is pretty sure it's the babesia, but I've been in babs tx for about 7 months, and nothing has changed. The hematologist wants me to have an endoscopy and colonoscopy to rule out any malabsorption problems and/or internal bleeds. He said that I could have a tiny bleed that is causing this...who knows? But he does want it ruled out. I plan on going to a LLGI soon, but we gotta get my period straigtened out. (4 months of bleeding as of next week! :o )

Hey Kassandra has your gyno checked you for fibroids? I was telling my mom about you and she was curious as to what is going on.

I don't know. I think so, but I don't know how they check for that. If it's through a D&C, ultrasound or hysterocopy, then yes she has checked. :) I see her on Monday for a post op appt and we will go over her findings, etc. and hopefully will come up with a game plan for me.

Yeah my mom had fibroids. I will ask her about what tests her gyno took on her to see how he found out. Did they do a pap on you and turn the speculum sideways? I know sounds painful but I think that's the way you see them.

I've had it done this way and it actually isn't that bad. But I'll as her tomorrow.

How was the wedding? :)

I think they saw my fibroid on a CT scan. I also had ultrasounds during that time but I think they saw it first on the CT scan.

Yep--between the ultrasound and the hysterocopy she has thoroughly checked for fibroids. The hysteroscopy gives a full detailed picture of the inside of the uterus and the ultrasound will catch fibroids both inside and outside of it.

I'll be waiting to hear about your appt. on Monday, Kassandra :)

I did the same thing with my NAET treatments, I would just fall asleep immediately after, and I would sleep hard. My Dr at the time explained that it was like the circuits were being switched off and then reconnected and turned on again, so yeah, I don't know :huh:

Maybe the zeolite is rewiring you as we speak :lol:

I think that should definately be a priority in the whole "rewiring" process.

The brain function stuff can come later....but first things first....pizza and ice cream please!! :D

Have they done a endometrial biopsy? My mom asked me if they did that to you yet.

Did they do a transvaginal ultrasound where they put it up thier or a regular one? Or a colposcopy to look at the cervic area?

If they didn't do these procedures, I'm surprised they haven't.

Well....that might still work since brainfog is one of the worst symptoms. So maybe I'll be able to eat pizza and ice cream without having to retreat into my own world for a few hours. :P

OR...maybe if I'm totally sane and clear headed I actually wont WANT to eat pizza and ice cream! :o

Maybe if I have more common sense...I'll just avoid it altogether!

OMG....that is a horrific thought. :blink:

I hope it doesnt come to that.

Yes, you'll definetely will be able to eat pizza and ice cream with no brain fog. But it won't come to you not wanting to eat these things at all. :)

Me either...my love for pizza and ice cream is just too great. :P

Well, I learned that if I have a sulfation problem my OAT results for oxalates would not be reliable. :(

If oxalates in the urine are high....this definately indicates absorption of oxalates from the gut. However, if the levels are low it may not represent the amount of oxalate absorbed from the gut. Its because if there is insufficient sulfate in the system it will impair the kidney's ability to remove oxalate from the blood and into the urine.

So that might be a problem for me because of my issues with sulfation.

I think if my results do not show a problem with oxalates it wont change my mind....I feel that I have enough evidence at this point to convince me that it is a problem. Although it would be nice if for a change I could have verification with the lab results. :rolleyes:

Also, even though its definately important to replenish acidophilus and bifidus...they prefer other foods over oxalate....so they are only mediocre at degrading oxalates. The main bacteria for getting this job done is oxalobactor formigenes. It needs oxalate in order to survive...so if there is plenty of this bacteria available a person can eat plenty of high oxalate foods without any problem.

Lots of antibiotics can kill off this oxalate eating bacteria and as of now it is not available in any probiotic. It is currently being developed and will be sold as a drug (and no doubt it will be expensive).

Tetracycline

Doxy

Flagyl

Biaxin

Augmentin

Erythromycin

Chloromycetin

These are just some of the abx which can kill it off. I took the 3 which are highlighted.

Everyone,

Today i had an idea. I was thinking of making a little msn group with the bunch of us this thread, That we could chat about stuff and feel less stressed about posting on here were everyone in the world can read it. We can still talk on here about medical stuff, but when we want to get goofy, we can post it someplace else. I could even work on have an chat room in there. I know carla had trouble last time, but maybe we could figure it out this time lol. We could also talk about swapping supps.

paula

i really hoping asking this isnt breaking any rules. Just let me know if anyone is interested.

      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.
