No other changes in meds lately?

I would say the soy, or unless you had hamburger from safeway lately lol. That is what gave me food poisoning last week lol.

Nope, no changes in meds...I'm not on any prescription meds, and I'm only taking my neurotransmitter supplements...I haven't wanted to start up all the other supplements because I'll be having more surgery. I DID take my probiotics...started a few days ago.

I looked up food poisoining in one of my medical books, and it really seemed like that's what it was, except I didn't have the nausea.

My fever was gone by early evening, but the pain continued until I went to bed. I'd be laying there all comfy and suddenly the pain in my abdomen would be so bad it would double me up. This morning my temp is back to 97.6 and so far no cramping, pain or D.

We haven't even been to church lately because every time we went it seems we got sick. <_< I know we had colds or cold/flu in May, June and July.

I haven't been since my foot surgery either. My friend was going to pick me up yesterday, but I was sick so just stayed home. This no driving thing is really cramping my style. :P

I have read that Manuka Honey is good for H.pylori bacteria. The 15+ quality I think....

I've never heard of Manuka Honey. I bet Whole Foods has it.

With multiple food sensitivities, my allergist always suggested a four day food rotation to avoid this kind of reaction.

Sherry

Thanks for that info sherry. I am going to follow that for awhile and see if it makes an difference.

I too have been noticing that I feel very sick when I am on the computer too long. Lots of head symptoms. My vestibular neuritis acts up, I feel pulsing and fullness in the head, I get nauseated and feel just not right and sick. This has been happening for years but only recently has it gotten really bad.

Nancy

Yep that is me. If im on for too long i have to go lay down cause i feel really odd and i feel safe just going to lay down.

Last night i kept my phone turned off, but i was still up all night, but its cause we have an stressful day going on today. So i know that is what was keeping me up.

Umf 16+ or greater of "active" manuka honey.

Whole foods might have it, but used to be you could only order it online.

Kassandra,

Ditto from me too!

April,

Thanks for the link, I've bookmarked it.

Birdie,

Good luck with the LED!

Everyone,

Well, I spoke too soon about the D, but fortunately I'm not having the severe pain I had yesterday...I can deal with a little D, lol. I'm waiting to see if my "lunch" sits well, then my big outing for the day...starting my car, lol!

I keep meaning to tell you all of miso. Those who can't have soy probably can't have it. :(

Anyway, I have known this since WAY before I was ever on this board, LOL ..... Miso is a GREAT detoxer of EMF's. Here's one website I found. Open Original Shared Link

I've recently added it back into our diet. I used to cook with it all the time.

Sounds good Carla. :)

Carla,

I love miso. I didn't know that it helped with EMF's! That's very interesting.

How do you cook with it? Boiling it kills the good bacteria. Do you use the paste?

I need more ideas to incorporate this into my cooking.

Now you got me thinking....

I wonder if the computer EMF's contribute to my neck pain and shoulder pain. I am on the computer and phones all day at work and sometimes a lot at home, too. I try not to be on the cell phone that much.

It was really bad right before I went to the beach. Then after a few days of beach, ocean and sand....it felt better. My legs felt better, too. Other explanations could be that i got more sunlight/vit. d. or more minerals from the ocean water or just simply not sitting at a desk all day.

But today, first day back at work.....hurting again. Pretty bad, too. Its giving me a headache.

I think I'll go take a epsom bath and drink some Miso and see if it goes away!

CarlaB Enthusiast

Tonight I put the paste in the white sauce for linguini ..... I stirred it in at the end. I'll also put it into soups in the winter, again stirring it in at the end.

You can just make a cup of broth .... again, heat the water by itself, then add the miso.

I always make my own soup and I always used to use miso for the broth flavor, but got away from it.

I read somewhere that the overuse we have with soy is from things like soy milk, which are from the modern era. It used to be that only things like miso were eaten for soy. Miso is fermented .... so it has those benefits, too.

Here's another great article. Open Original Shared Link

At the time of the world's first plutonium atomic bombing, on August 9, 1945, two hospitals were literally in the shadow of the blast, about one mile from the epicenter in Nagasaki. American scientists declared the area totally uninhabitable for 75 years.

At University Hospital 3000 patients suffered greatly from leukemia and disfiguring radiation burns. This hospital served its patients a modern fare of sugar, white rice, and refined white flour products. Another hospital was St. Francis Hospital, under the direction of Shinichiro Akizuki, M.D.

Although this hospital was located even closer to the blast's epicenter than the first, none of the workers or patients suffered from radiation sickness. Dr. Akizuki had been feeding his patients and workers brown rice, miso soup, vegetables and seaweed every day. The Roman Catholic Church

I LOVE miso. I used to have it all the time when I lived in Hawaii, but the last time I tried it here (maybe in the last 3 years) I reacted to it. That's probably because it is fermented though...I can do soymilk as long as I don't have it often, but the miso got me right away.

tabasco32 Apprentice

mmmmmmm......Miso soup. mmmmmm.... Japanese food. I'm hungry. ^_^

Quick check-in. My LLMD thinks the pain is due to lyme, not mercury or other things. I am to alternate Zithromax and Enula, 2 weeks on each for two rotations, then let him know how I am doing. (ART says I can't use them together).

He is basically throwing out the last vitamin D result as it totally doesn't make sense. The redone lab is more accurate, it shows I am taking a little too much D, which fits with the ART. I'm to back off to 4 a day, then go back up to 5 a day in two months.

I had no idea of the benefits of miso. I love miso soup, but alas, no soy for me.

The pediatrician just called back regarding the Igenex Tick Test results being positive for Ehrlichia.

He said, " Ehrlichia can be more severe than lyme. Onset symptoms include high fevers and very sick - usually within 10 days to 2 weeks." He thinks she's out of the woods and fine. He also said he doesn't think it can have a delayed onset like lyme can - but we all know that isn't the case.

I am also pretty stressed right now because I learned my little boy is needing 4 shots instead of 1. And he starts school tomorrow. I don't have enough information to know how to get out of it. Some of the shots he has had enough of (before I stopped vaccinating) BUT the last shot was not done after his 4th birthday. That in itself is crazy. The dr's are the ones who advised to get the shots at the time.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Look at www.909shot.com (I think it's .com). It will tell you how to get out of it in your state. Here it's just a matter of writing a letter saying it's philosophical objections. In Indiana it was religious exemption. I've never been hassled .... neither have my two college students.

aprilh Apprentice

Thanks Carla. Those were VERY helpful links.

I found the information I needed to proceed. I cannot claim philisophical expemption in NC BUT I can do an antibody titer for the MMR & Varicella. The MMR was the most concerning vaccination that he needed.

I am switching Peds. to a doc who understands NOT wanting to vaccinate. I might be able to get him to do a medical exemption, but somehow I doubt it.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Can you take a religious exemption?

confused Community Regular

I did an personal exemption here. My have all have had their shots, but my girls had one set and got so sick from them, that i never had them get anymore. Now since being in this thread i know i did the right thing to never vacinate them again.

Today was the kids first day of school. I was so sad to see all 5 of my kids go to school.

Anyone know if Humaworm is out of business? I've not received my last order, I have emailed 4 times to all the addresses on the website with no response, and the phone number is out of service.

confused Community Regular

sherry

On July 31st, 2008 - HUMAWORM, INC. suffered a complete loss due to fire. We will try to have all orders through today - August 2, 2008 filled and sent out by August 29th, 2008.

This site is still active and we can still take orders, but we cannot answer emails until sometime in the next two weeks. THANK YOU for your understanding.

      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.
