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.

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.

      So, you had both and endoscopy with biopsy and a colonoscopy. That helps me understand what you were trying to communicate. No, no! It never occurred to me that you were trying to mislead me. It's just that we get a lot of posters on the forum who are misinformed about what celiac disease is and how it is diagnosed so I need some clarification from you which you were so gracious to give.
    • barb simkin
      I had both the genetic genes for celiac.  My gastroenologist advised he also took a biopsy during one of my colonoscopies and endoscopy and advised I had celiac disease, along with stomach ulcers from my esophagus stomach down to my small bowel. I was shown the ulcers on the catscan and endoscopy report.  I also had polyps in 3 places throughout my large bowel. I was on a strict diet for months following.  I am sorry if I didnt define how I was diagnosed with celiac disease.  I am sorry if you think I was misleading you. I also had to pay $150.00 for the genetic testing.
    • trents
      So, I'm a little confused here. I understand you to say that you have not been officially diagnosed with celiac disease. Is this correct?  You have had genetic testing done to check for the potential for developing celiac disease and that was positive. Is this correct? I think you meant to type "gluten sensitivity" but you typed "gluten insensitivity". Just so we are clear about the terminology, there is celiac disease and there is NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity). They are not the same but they have overlapping symptoms. Celiac disease causes damage to the small bowel lining but NCGS does not. NCGS is often referred to in short form as gluten sensitivity. However, people often use the terms celiac disease and gluten sensitivity interchangeably so it can be unclear which disease they are referring to. Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to establish the potential to develop active celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has one or both of  the genes that have been most strongly connected with the potential to develop active celiac disease but only about 1% of the population actually develops active celiac disease. This makes the genetic test useful for ruling out celiac disease but not for diagnosing it. A colonoscopy cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease because it doesn't permit the scope to go up into the small bowel where celiac disease does the damage. They use an endoscopy ("upper GI) for checking the small bowel lining for celiac damage.

      I did nor read the chocolate pkg as it was of fered to me and I ate 2 pcs. I do know that only very dark chocolate and and a very few others are gluten free. Most alcohols contain gluten. I have several yrs of not knowing my celiac condition as docs would not do the test. After looking on the internet about my sufferings I insisted on the gene trsting which showed positive for gluten insensitivity and a biopsy on my next colonoscopy that also showed positive which could not help the damage done to my small bowel. So I very rarely have a glass of wine
    • trents
      @barb simkin, are you sure the chocolate products are gluten-free and not "manufactured on equipment that also handles wheat products and tree nuts", i.e., cross-contamination? And what kind of alcoholic beverages are we talking about? Most beers are made from gluten-containing grains. Just checking.
