No, Rachel, you can't feel heat.

Well that sucks. :(

Oh well....it might still work for me. Who knows....it might be exactly what I need. My cells will get supercharged by the light. :D

Anyone see Lake House? I love that one, too.

I saw it. It was alright....not one of my favs though. I think the only reason I really remember it at all is because I saw it the movies with someone special. :wub:

Ok....my Dr. appt. is tomorrow after work...and I'm soooo not prepared. :huh:

I've never met him so I think I'm just gonna go in without a plan and see how it goes.

My friend watched the first video I sent her and she's not too excited about the gastric bypass anymore. Thank God! :)

She watched it with a friend who is also considering having it done. They both decided to try to lose weight with diet and exercise first. YAY!

They can help each other stay motivated. I hope it works. :)

I googles rhubarb the other day after i posted about it. Well i found some stuff about it. It is a laxative. And let me tell you all, it sure does it job. Im thinking i only need to eat a few bites a day and ill be all good to go lol. It does have alot of health benefits so its all good. Of course im sure i will react to it sooner or later like i do everything else.

That is awesome. Im so happy for them and for you.

Tell her one way to lose a few pounds is drink some apple cider vinegar with water in the monrning. I know many people have lost weight doing this. And hey there are other health benefits doing it.

I tried once, it was so nasty i could never do it again lol

Ok i went to edit my last post and it disappeared lol. I googled hay and mold and sure it enough it is not good. This all makes sense the other day i went to my room to watch tv and i got really really sleepy. I feel asleep and dont even remember my mom calling me, i always hear the phone. She even called the house phone and my hubby tlaked to her right next to me and i didnt remember. Im a light sleeper, i wake up if the wind blows lol. Hubby said he had to keep seeing if i was breathing. I finally made myself wake up and left my room and felt much better. I guess my hubby is right about the mold and hay.

Im going to go make me a huge bubble to live in lol

Yay about your friend Rachel!!! I'm so happy she has decided to try other means first!!!!

Paula, yeah, I'm pretty sure hay could be moldy.

Well, I just made an appointment with my GI to go over any second opinion results regarding the ampulla. I haven't heard anything from them yet, but it's been at least 3 weeks, so if it's not back by the time I see him something is wrong, lol. He is REALLY busy and at first they said his next opening was in September, but I told them it was a follow-up/second opinion so she sqeezed me in on the 25th. So that's probably over a month after it was sent out, so yeah, it has to be back by then I would think. I'm thinking the reason I haven't heard from them yet is either because I saw him while I was in for my foot surgery and he knew I was down with my foot and would be making an appointment when I could get around, OR they sent it out for a third opinion.

Oh dear :huh:

The word is MANY talents, such as pizza making, zeolite selling, and film critiquing, just to name a few.

My apologies to Lisa :lol: (my typing can be atrocious, lots of typos :rolleyes: )

Yes, Dan In Real Life is definitely one to add to your collection Rachel. Don't you think it was such a cute feel good movie?? Made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, and Steve Carell cracks me up! When he was dancing in the bar I was laughing hysterically, almost crying :lol::lol:

That one post threw me for a loop. :P I was trying to figure it out but I felt like I was suffering from an on coming brain aneurysm so I stopped.

My thoughts were," I didn't know you had to be a talented man to critique a movie." :huh:

I really liked Dan In Real Life, especially when, oh maybe I shouldn't say anything. Don't want to ruin it for the people who haven't seen it yet.

I will watch anything Steve Carell. He Cracks me up. :lol:

Hey Rachel I was thinking maybe you can get one of those Mrs. Beavis typing tutor programs. :)

Rachel,

Yay on your friend and her friend making the decision to BYPASS the GPS. :D

I'll be waiting to hear about your appointment tomorrow. :)B)

Donna,

I certainly hope they have the results/opinion back by the 25th! This is taking too long, IMO.

Donna, glad you are making progress and sorry about the bump on the sore toe. I'd like to see your paintings, sounds fun!

Carla, that's funny that you didn't tell your LLMD about the worms. I told mine, but not about the most recent ones since that happened after my appointment. I don't think he has been surprised. He told me he has a colleague that picked up a tapeworm in China that has simply not been able to get rid of it. Not sure how he/she knows they have it.

April, I was pretty ticked at the lady, enough that I forgot to go to the compounding pharmacy to pick up my DMPS and had to make a second trip. :(

Rachel, thanks for re-posting that quote about Dr. K. Is that information about the lab testing in India in any kind of official format that I could print off and give to a doctor?

I agree with the "head buried in the sand" comment; seems like it is even more like an arrogance that somehow we know it all--and dismiss any other possibility. I just realized that I have a bit of a radar now about health care practitioners that are dismissive about anything outside their experience or training.

About the parasites...I think that before I start my next round of Humaworm, I am going to try some more of the dietary treatments--see if I can figure out more of what might weaken them so the Humaworm works better.

We put hay in our garden to keep away the weeds. It seems to stay pretty wet and moist most of the time.

I would think it could definately be the culprit.

Ok i went to edit my last post and it disappeared lol. I googled hay and mold and sure it enough it is not good.

Why is their dog's bed so close to your window? Try sleeping with the window closed and see if that helps. An air cleaner in your room might help too.

So that's probably over a month after it was sent out, so yeah, it has to be back by then I would think. I'm thinking the reason I haven't heard from them yet is either because I saw him while I was in for my foot surgery and he knew I was down with my foot and would be making an appointment when I could get around, OR they sent it out for a third opinion.

I hope its because he's super busy.......its so hard waiting....waiting.....waiting. Can the nurse *verify* if the results are at least in the office?

Rachel, thanks for re-posting that quote about Dr. K. Is that information about the lab testing in India in any kind of official format that I could print off and give to a doctor?

No...this is just stuff that Dr. K. shared (from his experience) with one of his patients. They're friends....she posts alot of the info. that she's learned from him over the years. That was from a thread having to do with parasites. She's talked about them alot on LN.

Dr. K calls them the "knights in shining armour"....because they absorb the metals.

Worms, etc. have an unbelievable affinity to store large amounts of metals in their skin without being metabolically disturbed by it. So when a patient is on a heavy metal detox, the worms immediately take that stuff (mercury, tin and other trace metals) coming down into their coat and they become completely invulnerable to our own immune system, because one thing our white cells cannot handle is large amounts is mercury.

Our white cells die when they are trying to gobble up the mercury; and that doesn

I wonder if he is feeling something but not too self aware to pick it up? Sounds like he is getting a bit of a high or something.

His girlfriend gets migraines, so I think that's part of the reason that he's reading so much about it .... but that wouldn't make him use it all the time.

Just another update...

I am having menstrual problems again. :( Since yesterday I have been in horrific pain from cramps. My period is also super heavy, which my gyno didn't want to happen because it's my first period post D&C, and the rate at which I'm bleeding is "bad." So I called her office today to ask for something stronger than vicodin (took 2 and NOTHING happened! :o ) and they called me back and lectured me saying I should have called sooner.

So they are forcing me to go in on an emergency basis first thing tomorrow morning. I'm not very happy about this all. I've truly never had so much pain though, as far as cramps. It has been awful.

On a happier note, I've been on the alinia and malarone for a few days now, and it seems to be going well. The alinia is causing some bad diarrhea though, so Dr B said if it continues to call Dr H and we'll have to switch meds.

I had another NAET treatment today for cortisol. She said that is the cause of my menstrual pain...so who knows? All I know is I'm really tired from it. I also had a treatment yesterday for Babesia and that kicked my butt also. :rolleyes: Hopefully this will all start to work soon.

      This is very exciting news. The research lends itself to preventing the immune system in other autoimmune disorders from getting out of sorts. As someone with a compendium of autoimmune disorders I feel a bit of hope.

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).

      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.

      Hi there, I’m debating whether to consider a gluten challenge and I’m hoping someone here can help with that decision (so far, none of the doctors have been helpful). I have a history of breaking out in a horrible, burning/itchy somewhat blistering rash about every 8 years. This started when I was in my early 30’s and at that point it started at the ankles and went about to my knees. Every time I had the rash it would cover more of my body, so my arms and part of my torso were impacted as well, and it was always symmetrical. First I was told it was an allergic reaction to a bug bite. Next I was told it was eczema (after a biopsy of the lesion - not the skin near the lesion) and given a steroid injection (didn’t help). I took myself off of gluten about 3 weeks before seeing an allergist, just to see if it would help (it didn’t in that time period). He thought the rash looked like dermatitis herpetiformis and told me to eat some bread the night before my blood tests, which I did, and the tests came back negative. I’ve since learned from this forum that I needed to be eating gluten daily for at least a month in order to get an accurate test result. I’m grateful to the allergist as he found that 5 mg of doxepin daily will eliminate the rash within about 10 days (previously it lasted for months whether I was eating gluten or not). I have been gluten free for about 25 years as a precaution and recommendation from my doctor, and the pattern of breaking out every 8 years or so remains the same except once I broke out after just one year (was not glutened as far as I know), and now it’s been over 9 years. What’s confusing to me, is that there have been 3 times in the past 2 years when I’ve accidentally eaten gluten, and I haven’t had any reaction at all. Once someone made pancakes (they said they were gluten-free, they were not) and I ate several. I need to decide whether to do a gluten challenge and get another blood test. If I do, are these tests really accurate? I’m also concerned that I could damage my gut in that process if I do have celiac disease. My brother and cousin both had lymphoma so that’s a concern regarding a challenge as well, though there is a lot of cancer in various forms in my family so there may be no gluten connection there. Sorry for the ramble, I’m just doubting the need to remain gluten free if I don’t have any reaction to eating it and haven’t had a positive test (other than testing positive for one of the genes, though it sounds like that’s pretty common). I’d appreciate any thoughts or advice!

Im STILL healing with my skin, eye, and now ms or meningioma ( will know in April  which)and dealing with this limbo nightmare. I did write my name, address ect on the reclamation but im not tech savvy and not sure if went through properly. I called my city representative in Stanislaus County and asked if theres a physical paper i can sign for proclamation for celiac and she had no clue about what I was saying, so I just said I'll go back on website.

      I'm not saying that some celiacs won't need it, but it should be done under a doctor's supervision because it can cause lots of problems in some people.
