Kassandra,

Thanks for the update. :) Hope the specialist will be able to help you with your bleeding.

Labcorp! :angry: Unbelievable! Hope that doesn't take much to get straightened out.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      IBS-D vs Celiac

      No coincidence. Recent revisions to gluten challenge guidelines call for the daily consumption of at least 10g of gluten (about the amount in 4-6 slices of wheat bread) for a minimum of 3 weeks. If possible, I would extend that two weeks to ensure valid testing.

      @Jane02, I hear you about the kale and collard greens.  I don't do dairy and must eat green leafies, too, to get sufficient calcium.  I must be very careful because some calcium supplements are made from ground up crustacean shells.  When I was deficient in Vitamin D, I took high doses of Vitamin D to correct the deficiency quickly.  This is safe and nontoxic.  Vitamin D level should be above 70 nmol/L.  Lifeguards and indigenous Pacific Islanders typically have levels between 80-100 nmol/L.   Levels lower than this are based on amount needed to prevent disease like rickets and osteomalacia. We need more thiamine when we're physically ill, emotionally and mentally stressed, and if we exercise like an athlete or laborer.  We need more thiamine if we eat a diet high in simple carbohydrates.  For every 500 kcal of carbohydrates, we need 500-1000 mg more of thiamine to process the carbs into energy.  If there's insufficient thiamine the carbs get stored as fat.  Again, recommended levels set for thiamine are based on minimum amounts needed to prevent disease.  This is often not adequate for optimum health, nor sufficient for people with absorption problems such as Celiac disease.  Gluten free processed foods are not enriched with vitamins like their gluten containing counterparts.  Adding a B Complex and additional thiamine improves health for Celiacs.  Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  Thiamine helps the mitochondria in cells to function.  Thiamine interacts with each of the other B vitamins.  They are all water soluble and easily excreted if not needed. Interesting Reading: Clinical trial: B vitamins improve health in patients with coeliac disease living on a gluten-free diet https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/19154566/ Safety and effectiveness of vitamin D mega-dose: A systematic review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34857184/ High dose dietary vitamin D allocates surplus calories to muscle and growth instead of fat via modulation of myostatin and leptin signaling https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38766160/ Safety of High-Dose Vitamin D Supplementation: Secondary Analysis of a Randomized Controlled Trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31746327/ Vitamins and Celiac Disease: Beyond Vitamin D https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11857425/ Investigating the therapeutic potential of tryptophan and vitamin A in modulating immune responses in celiac disease: an experimental study https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40178602/ Investigating the Impact of Vitamin A and Amino Acids on Immune Responses in Celiac Disease Patients https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10814138/

      Thank you so much @knitty kitty for this insightful information! I would have never considered fractionated coconut oil to be a potential source of GI upset. I will consider all the info you shared. Very interesting about the Thiamine deficiency.  I've tracked daily averages of my intake in a nutrition software. The only nutrient I can't consistently meet from my diet is vitamin D. Calcium is a hit and miss as I rely on vegetables, dark leafy greens as a major source, for my calcium intake. I'm able to meet it when I either eat or juice a bundle of kale or collard greens daily haha. My thiamine intake is roughly 120% of my needs, although I do recognize that I may not be absorbing all of these nutrients consistently with intermittent unintentional exposures to gluten.  My vitamin A intake is roughly 900% (~6400 mcg/d) of my needs as I eat a lot of sweet potato, although since it's plant-derived vitamin A (beta-carotene) apparently it's not likely to cause toxicity.  Thanks again!

      Hello, @Jane02,  I take Naturewise D 3.  It contains olive oil.   Some Vitamin D supplements, like D Drops, are made with fractionated coconut oil which can cause digestive upsets.  Fractionated coconut oil is not the same as coconut oil used for cooking.  Fractionated coconut oil has been treated for longer shelf life, so it won't go bad in the jar, and thus may be irritating to the digestive system. I avoid supplements made with soy because many people with Celiac Disease also react to soy.  Mixed tocopherols, an ingredient in Thornes Vitamin D, may be sourced from soy oil.  Kirkland's has soy on its ingredient list. I avoid things that might contain or be exposed to crustaceans, like Metagenics says on its label.  I have a crustacean/shellfish/fish allergy.  I like Life Extension Bioactive Complete B Complex.  I take additional Thiamine B 1 in the form Benfotiamine which helps the intestines heal, Life Extension MegaBenfotiamine. Thiamine is needed to activate Vitamin D.   Low thiamine can make one feel like they are getting glutened after a meal containing lots of simple carbohydrates like white rice, or processed gluten free foods like cookies and pasta.   It's rare to have a single vitamin deficiency.  The water soluble B Complex vitamins should be supplemented together with additional Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine and Thiamine TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) to correct subclinical deficiencies that don't show up on blood tests.  These are subclinical deficiencies within organs and tissues.  Blood is a transportation system.  The body will deplete tissues and organs in order to keep a supply of thiamine in the bloodstream going to the brain and heart.   If you're low in Vitamin D, you may well be low in other fat soluble vitamins like Vitamin A and Vitamin K. Have you seen a dietician?
