I have glutathione cream. It's works okay, but I get more results from coffee enemas.

Candace, I reacted to an IV that I think was glutathione, but I need to confirm that. Whatever it was, it had tiny amounts of soy in it. So I am not sure if that was the issue. In ART, I tested okay for IV glutathione, but not oral or cream. My LLMD said, "No IV glutathione" but was giving me other IV's so I think it was because I reacted to it when he tried it.

I did IV chelation, and B vitamins. They tried a tiny amount of IV cysteine, but that did NOT go well. I am not sure if they tried minerals. Stupid lyme brain, I don't remember. I need to keep better track.

The iodine test Dr K suggests, where it is supposed to last 24 hours on the skin? Well on my palms it lasts about 4 hours. I wonder if he puts it in a specific area of skin?

Rachel- just got back from my IV, didn't go to well...broke out in a rash and got dizzy for about 15 minutes. But now I'm okay. Have you ever tried glutathione cream?

I dont tolerate glutathione in any form. I recently tried transdermal DMPS which contains glutathione. Its 4 parts glutathione to one part DMPS. Both of my Dr.'s wanted me on the transdermal DMPS but they werent sure whether I'd be able to tolerate the glutathione.

I didnt tolerate it but I do great with IV DMPS....its nothing but the DMPS....no glutathione.

I think it was the choline though...isnt it a fat?

I'm not familiar with choline?? This is the first I've seen it mentioned anywhere so I'm not sure what it is.

Oh, lol. I guess we must have been missing each other. Last night I was out to dinner with my mom for her b-day. And I don't know where I've been the past few nights. <_< Can't remember. :lol:

I TOTALLY forgot Grey's was on tonight...

Back from my exam. I lost my mind and let her give me a TETINUS SHOT!!! I can't believe I did that. My arm is very sore at the moment to constantly remind me of my stupidity! :angry::lol:

She also x-rayed my foot to see why my toe hurts so much.

She's running lot of bloodwork, but mostly it'll all be the conventional stuff conventional docs usually run, but she is testing for uric acid to rule out gout. She'll also be checking a couple of other things not usually done.

:o

That's all I have to say. :lol:

Hi Mia. :)

Well, so far so good with my oral minerals. Yay!

This is the only brand I've been able to tolerate...high quality and totally hypoallergenic. I'm taking zinc, molybdenum, folinic acid W/ B12 and the purest form of selenium available.

I think since I'm doing ok I'll go ahead and order the other minerals as well. I still need chromium and should probably get some mag. and calcium.

I've eaten normal food for lunch everday this week since I've been unable to come home for lunch. :o

I've been eating mac and cheese!!! :o

Also eating lots of hot dogs and bologna....sandwhich rolls and bagels too.

I forgot my digestive enzymes the other day and got pretty bloated...other than that I've been doing ok. :)

Miamia, it's good to see you. :)

Rachel, I'm glad you've been able to eat "normally" and still feel okay ... I put "normally" in quotations because I'm not sure that mac and cheese and hot dogs are "normal" lunches! :lol:

I completely know what you mean about not remembering where you've been! I was kind of wondering where you were in chat, too. :D

So anyways does anyone tolerate tequila? :P

I don't drink any alcohol right now, but tequila has always been a safe one for me. I've always had the potential to get a wicked hangover after only a couple drinks, but it never happened with tequila. So, a few months ago when I was off meds and had a drink, it was a margarita. :P I did fine with it. I haven't had one since because I don't think my liver needs the extra stress now that I'm back on meds.

Wine and vodka were always the alcohols with the highest potential to make me sick the next day.

When I say sick, it's always been Lyme symptoms. When I first got "sick" with Lyme this go round, I would describe it as being like a hangover, or like when I was pregnant .... both times when my Lyme would flare.

I found that I don't tolerate wine but I tolerate beer okay. Guess its from the sulfites in wine???

I hope you guys can help me help my friend. Here is the story.

She has 3 kids - all of them are unwell in different ways.

The oldest (9 years old) has epilepsy, anxiety, constipation (bad, bad C), sleeping problems, bed wetting, nervous bladder.

The middle (5 years old) has asthma, major food allergies, chronic hoarse voice, leaky gut and what I believe to be a yeast problem and sleeping problems.

The youngest (4 years old) has been hospitalized 3-4 times since birth. He has bad food allergies - well he's allergic to EVERYTHING. He is slightly autistic, add, adhd which he is now medicated for. She has finally come around and removed things from his diet like gluten and soy, but she does allow it weekly because the stupid Doctor (allergist) she saw told her to "rotate" the foods. Well, we all know that it sometimes takes us days to get over one incidence with a no no food.

Anyway, the last 6 weeks he has thrown up on either Saturday or Monday and then he's fine. Wierd huh?

I am trying to convince her to have him tested for lyme.

She has done the small intestine biopsy - negative. Food allergy panels (through conventional docs). Now they want him to go to an immunologist. AND he's on prednisone!!!

I told her last night that I am afraid he will get labeled with some kind of "immune disorder" and they won't find the real underlying issue. Many people with lupus and other immune problems have discovered things like lyme, metals, yeast - whatever.

She gives them all melatonin Everynight to go to sleep and has so for years now. I mentioned that it might shrink the pituitary gland, but since the docs have never advised her that it could, she is going to continue.

They are all always sick with some kind of virus, they break out in wierd unexplainable rashes, just lots of wierd symptoms between all of them.

I am hoping to convince her to see Dr. J, which is close to her, but you know how the conventional docs are....they will torture the patient until there is no more tests left, no more medications left to take.

She told me one time that they live near some kind of lead plant??? and have to be regularly checked for lead levels in the blood. Nothing has ever shown, but you know how metals are, they don't stay in the blood for long.

Any ideas of what I can suggest that might convince her to get the youngest tested for lyme? I feel like if he's positive - then she'll check the other kids - but he is by far the worst off.

Is it sounding "lymish" to you ?

Beer = bad!!! I didn't even drink it much in college!

Maybe with the tequila it's the salt that helps me :lol:

YES! Especially since they live close to Dr. J .... that means they live in the Lyme capital of the world! :o Explain to her how he won't only test for Lyme, but every underlying condition that might be causing the symptoms. In the end, it will be cheaper to go to him than doctor after doctor .... also it's worth ruling out before paying the thousands it will cost over the years to manage his symptoms.

I forgot my digestive enzymes the other day and got pretty bloated...other than that I've been doing ok. :)

Rachel...that is SO SO amazing that you don't have to eat beef and peas. You give me hope. You do too, Carla :)

So I'm supposed to be on digestive enzymes, but I'm afraid to take them because I get sensitive to my supplements so fast, and you have to take so many in a day. They really help though? Perhaps I should try just one today. Hmm...

Yesterday I was already re-sensitized to TMG, B-50 and Milk Thistle (after being de-sensitized four days ago!). I could feel it too because my stomach boated out and was soooo painful.

Doctors and parents just don't understand how extreme and uncomfortable this bloating can be! I think in their minds they picture the kind of bloating they just take some Beano for :huh:

Is SC really the lyme capital!!! OMG! I did grow up not far from the border. Plus, if the kids got it from her through pregnancy, she probably got it in the same place I did. We lived next to each other on the lake.

I am sensitive to supplements at times and digestive enzymes have always helped me. its hard to research but its worth making sure they are grown from fungal sources.

If you don't feel comfortable with taking a supplement try eat a little pineapple with meals.

No, LOL, since you were talking about children, I thought you were talking about the pediatrician Dr. J in CT. Sorry.

Susie, sounds like something I'd do. :D Better forgetting a bagel, than a kid, probably a good idea to just keep the kids in the car and go through the drive-thru!!

You can watch Grey's online at abc.com!! They have them online usually the next day, so you can watch Grey's today. I won't tell anything so you can watch it yourself.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      Hi. So sorry to hear about your shingles. There is a lidocaine cream that you can get at Walmart that will help numb the pain. That's what I used for mine. It can't be put near your eyes or in your ears. I hope your doctor gave you valacyclovir which is an antiviral. It does lessen the symptoms. If it is in your eyes, see an ophthalmologist. They have...

      Hi @emzie and welcome to the forum. Perhaps could be residual inflammation and bloating that is causing sensitivity in that area.  I was diagnosed with coeliac disease in 2013 and I remember some years ago my sister telling me around that time that she had a lady in her church, also a coeliac, who  had real pain when she turned her torso in a certain direction whilst doing exercises, but otherwise was responding well to the gluten-free diet. As far as I know is still the picture of health. I often end up with pain in various parts of my gut if I eat too much rich food or certain types of fibre (for some reasons walnuts make my gut hurt, and rice cakes!) and and as a rule, the pain usually hangs around for a number of days, maybe up to a week.   When I bend over or turn, I can feel it.  I think this is actually due to my other diagnosis of IBS, for years I thought I had a rumbling appendix but I think it must have just been IBS.  Reading the experiences of other sufferers, it seems quite typical.  Sensitized gut, build up of gas - it stands to reason that the extra pressure of turning can increase the pain. When I am glutened I get a burning, gnawing pain in my stomach on and off for some days - it isn't constant, but it can take up a few hours of the day.  I believe this to be gastritis, but it seems to hurt irrespective of movement.   Anyway, you are doing the right thing to seek a professional opinion, though, so do let us know how you get on.   Meanwhile, might I suggest you drink peppermint tea, or try slices of fresh ginger in hot water? A lot of IBS sufferers say the former is very helpful in relieving cramps, etc, and the latter is very soothing on the stomach. Cristiana

      Hi! One of the usual symptoms I have with a gluten flare up has deviated a bit and I thought I'd search for advice/opinions here. Also to see if anyone goes through similar stuff. Monday all of a sudden I got really bad pain in my stomach (centre, right under the chest, where the duodenum would be located). I ended up having to throw up for 2 hours, my body was trying to get rid of something from all sides and it was just horrible. Since then I havent been nauseous anymore at all, but the pain has stayed and it always worsens the moment i start moving. The more I move the more it hurts, and when i rest longer it seems to dissapear (no movement). I've had this before, but years ago I think around when I first got diagnosed with coeliac, where each time I moved, my stomach would hurt, to the point where I went to the ER because doctors got freaked out. That only lasted 1 night though, and Now it's already wednesday, so 3 days since then, but the pain persists and remains leveled. it doesn't get crazy intense, but it's still uncomfortable to the point I cant really go out because Im afraid itll turn into a giant flare up again. I couldn't think of where I could possibly have been glutened at this bad of a level and why it hasn't passed yet. I went to the GP, and as long as I have no fever and the pain isnt insane then its fine which I havent had yet. Tomorrow im also seeing a gastroenterologist specialized in IBS and coeliac for the first time finally in years, but I thought I'd ask on here anyway because it still hasnt dissapeared. It also hurts when someone presses on it. Maybe it's just really inflamed/irritated. I'm just frustrated because I'm missing out on my uni lectures and I do a sports bachelor, so I can't get behind on stuff & next to that i'm also going to go to the beach with my boyfriend's family this weekend: (

If it is in your eyes,  see an ophthalmologist.  They have an antiviral eye drop that can be prescribed.  Shingles in the eye could cause blindness.  I was unsure whether you have celiac or not.  If you do,  follow the diet.  I believe that extra stress on your body does affect everything. Shingles can recur. If you start getting the warning signs of nerves tingling,  see the dr and start taking the valacyclovir to prevent a breakout. If I sound technical,  I am a retired pharmacist.

      celiac disease and braces

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You are right to be proactive, as research does indicate that individuals with celiac disease can have a higher predisposition to enamel defects, cavities, and periodontal issues, even with excellent oral hygiene. While many people with celiac successfully undergo orthodontic treatment without complication, your caution is valid. It may be beneficial to seek a consultation with an orthodontist who is familiar with managing patients with autoimmune conditions or who is willing to collaborate with your daughter's gastroenterologist or a periodontist. They can perform a thorough assessment of her current oral health, discuss your specific concerns about recession and decay, and create a tailored hygiene plan. This second opinion could provide a clearer risk-benefit analysis, helping you decide if addressing the cosmetic concern of the lower teeth is worth the potential risks for your daughter, especially if they are not currently affecting function or her confidence.
