I completely forgot! :ph34r: Completely! I haven't been sleeping well again, but dozed off on the couch and when I woke up I just got up and went to bed...forgetting completely about the stupid pad. I'm going to definitely TRY to remember tonight, lol. :rolleyes:

Hi everyone! I'm leaving tomorrow! I sent out an email with the link to the blog to some of you .... but I think I missed most of you. If you didn't get it (I KNOW I didn't get it to everyone, it's late and I'm tired), please ask someone else on the thread for it. I don't like to use my LN screen name here because this thread comes up so easily in searches. ;)

I will have limited computer access, so that's why I say ask someone else on the thread. :)

Hi All -

I haven't been on line much as it was making me nauseated and sick to my stomach. I just started catching up and reading and Carla is going to Germany....WOW.

I am seeing the LLMD Carla recommended and I am starting to feel a little better. I have been there twice and spoken to them once on the phone. They are very responsive and thorough. I feel like I am in good hands now. It only took 2o years!! As I treat the Lyme and Babesia I am trying to slowly treat the methylation on my own with the Yasko limited protocol, but I only take the supplements every third day and I cut the supplements into quarters.

I hope to start reading you all lovely ladies every day again soon. :P

Quiet here today!

I'm slowly improving after my recent relapse but it's very up and down. I'm enjoying my trip though. Can't wait for news of Carla's treatments.

NoGluGirl Contributor

Dear Everyone,

I have been having computer issues, so being able to catch up was impossible. I am afraid I will just have to jump in, if that is alright. There is something making my computer go crazy. Dad has not had time to look more closely at it, since he had to prepare for the new dryer. Our old one died. :(

On the bright side, it will likely save money on the electric bill. This one will run on gas, which is not as expensive. We also will not have to run it several times to dry the clothes or towels as we have more recently with the old one. :D Dad still needs to hook it up, which hopefully he will do after work tomorrow. He needs another pipe fitting, since this machine needs a smaller one than our last dryer needed.

Although I do not have any new developments with my health, I have made a decision to purify my diet some. Basically, I am going to reduce my caffeine and sugar intake, replace what sugar I do eat with natural ones like honey or pure maple syrup, and start doing The Zone again. Low blood sugar usually turns into Diabetes later. I do not want to end up like Dad! My diet is already limited enough!

Meanwhile, I am still trying to incorporate those new supplements from Dr. D into my life. The next appointment is November 7th. I made a supplement introduction schedule. This will make it much easier! I also know the first thing I am going to do when I get my Christmas money is get my own account and get my Lyme testing done! :) I also intend to get my license after renewing my permit first.

Due to the Christmas season coming upon us, this provides opportunity. I am going to do a gift wrapping service to earn money this year. We have families with children in our neighborhood, and they likely would not mind spending some money to have their gifts wrapped. There are some other business ideas I want to pursue, which involve artwork. Hopefully, they will work out.

Now, I am going to reply to what I have read on this page only. This is due to limited space, as well as my being unable to catch up on reading due to this goofy computer. I hate that I missed Birdy's 18th birthday! :( Being born on the Autumn Equinox is special! :) So, if you are reading Birdy, Happy Late Birthday!

I sure have missed all of you! :wub:

You will all be glad to hear Boomer is doing well. His little tail and face are becoming so full! They grow so fast! His full name is now Boomer Houdini Andretti. :lol: Boomer is for his stomping, Houdini is because he escaped from his cage a few times, and the newest addition of Andretti is from his more recent habit of running around rapidly in circles. I could swear he is attempting to try out for Nascar! Mom nicknamed him Boomerang, since he flips back around so much.

This avatar is a more recent photo. I still think my hair looked better black. How do you make people understand that their concept of what you are supposed to look like is not what your self-concept is?

Why can people not accept a person for who they are, instead of trying to make them into this other person they want them to be? Plus, I think I am allergic to the conditioning spray they gave me at the salon, because my scalp is really broken out.

I have not been since late April, but have a feeling this has something to do with it. It is gluten-free, but maybe there is something else I am reacting to? :huh: Or, perhaps L'Oreal changed the conditioner ingredients?

Sulfates could be an issue if I have Lyme anyway. There are a lot of possibilities here. One thing is for sure, I know the dye I used before may have made my hair come out even more.

My Thyroid is part of this. However, the dye I was using before has sulfates up the wahzoo in it! I have looked at other dyes, but so far, they have gluten. :angry: As April would say, I am just bumfuzzled at the moment. :lol: I cannot afford the henna dyes, because you need to use them more often.

Dear Carla,

Wow! You are going to Germany! :o That will be an amazing trip. My best friend got to go as a graduation present in 2002. Are you going to get the Bionic 880 treatment? Or, is it something different?

Dear April,

I am glad to see you still posting! How are the children? I know you were extremely irritated about the pediatrician refusing to prescribe antibiotics as a precaution for Lyme. Doctors can really annoy you with their arrogance. Sometimes they make absolutely no sense with what they do.

Dear Paula,

It is so good to hear you are feeling better! :) Arsenic is so horrific when it poisons the body. Are you seeing a toxicologist? A classmate of mine was treated by one for Candida and toxic mold exposure. She lost a kidney due to her workplace having Aspergillus and Penicillium. :(

Dear Laurie,

I am so glad you are on here again! How are you doing with your Lyme treatment? The last time I read one of your posts, you were quite frustrated. Who would not be? What are you up to lately?

Dear Sherry,

Oh no! That is awful about your relapse. What happened? Thank goodness you are beginning to recover. Setbacks can really drive you crazy. Just when you are showing improvement, something comes along and knocks you back a step or two. Hang in there!

Dear Andrea,

Could you send me a link to Carla's blog as well? I would appreciate it. ;) How are T, M, and S? Is S speaking yet? I am sorry you could not afford to get ART and your dental work done. We all understand what it is like to deal with limited finances.

Dear Nancy,

I sympathize completely with you on the nausea. There are days where it is so bad, walking makes me want to wretch! It is absolute misery. Those are what I call the "Just freakin' shoot me" days. :lol: Promethazine is the only thing that helps when I get glutened, or when my hormones are interfering. Read along when you are able!

Sincerely,

Jin

Sounds like you have a good plan in place.

I'll send the link in just a minute. :)

Hi Jin,

Glad to "see" you....The children are doing good. I am about to start little A on the SCD diet and see how he does. His bahavior has been totally whacked out lately :huh: and I think its due to bad digestion. I am anxiously waiting for his stool test results. I let him eat a little out of the norm - more dairy and wheat - for his stool test.

Little E (my daughter) is doing quite well! I was very ill at my doc for not prescribing her abx for lyme "prevention" and the tick came back positive for Ehrlichia and he still wouldn't prescribe abx. But yet he gave my son over doses and gobs of them for constant ear infections which brought on more ear infections and so on and so forth.

So, I am letting it go for the moment! She is not showing any signs or symptoms - which is good - so I am focusing on keeping her immune system strong. And if she does ever have anything wierd...I'll have the tick test results and straight to a LLMD she'll go.

I like the ideas you have to make some extra money! Be sure to put it in your "wellness" account so you can take care of yourself!

Rachel,

Wondering if baking soda has aluminum in it? I have been thinking about this because I use it a lot in cleaning, washing and detox baths and I know you use it as deoderant.

While I was trying out a new recipe which calls for baking soda ....I noticed that the brand I have in the pantry for cooking says "aluminum free" baking soda. For other uses I just buy the big bad from Costco of the regular stuff.

Has anyone researched this?

April

April,

I just use plain Arm and Hammer baking soda.....it should be just sodium bicarbonate.

I've never heard of plain baking soda having aluminum it it....but alot of brands of baking powder do have aluminum....so for paking powder I would look for the stuff that specifically states "aluminum free".

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.

      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
    • Scott Adams
      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs. Because of this it took me decades to overcome a few long-standing issues I had that were associated with gluten ataxia, for example numbness and tingling in my feet, and muscle knots--especially in my shoulders an neck. Only long term extensive supplementation has helped me to resolve these issues.
