Good morning everyone! I felt good all day yesterday and feel good this morning, too, except that I'm tired as I didn't sleep well last night.

I had that tequila and tonic two nights ago .... since the fatigue was gone the next day, I had some tonic water last night, too, but without the tequila. ;)

Kassandra, I hope things start looking up for you soon.

Ok i woke up with major malabsorption going on. Now my stomacj is in major pain and my Bm is yellow. What can be causing this. I did google it and it shows things like bacteria and giardia. All i know is im in major pain. Im thinking it might be time to do an full stool panel.

Well I slept better last night, lol. Actually napped on the couch too. I hardly ever sleep good after napping.

I've been having terrible ear pain when I swallow for the last two days. Yesterday I finally took Tylenol all day and that seems to have knocked it back a bit.

Donna, good luck with the surgery!

...

I can't believe I go to Germany one week from today!! Woohoo! I don't know if you've been keeping up on LN .... the chatter about the Bionic is high ... it's the most read thread right now. I'm so excited since the lady who went over is now Lyme free.

Thanks! I haven't posted much about it, but I'm excited for your trip to Germany! I haven't been to LN in a long time so haven't seen the thread. Someone PM'd me over there, so I popped over to answer that, but didn't look at any threads.

Just to update everyone...my ferritin and iron is really low again, my hematologist called and told me I need Iron IV's this coming week (he wanted to do it last week, but I said no.) This is the one that 3 out of 4 patients go into anaphylactic shock. his nurse told me last year that 3 patients they gave it to almost didn't make it downstairs and next door to the ER because their reactions were so severe. She said they literally were giving them shots of epinepherine in the elevator so they'd make it to the ER.

...

So, that's whats been going on! Fun stuff for sure!!! :rolleyes:

Yeah, that's definitely scarey stuff!!!

Donna, sounds like further food restrictions will be quite an adjustment. Why can this cause diabetes? With fat and carb restriction it will be challenging.

They'll be rerouting the pancreatic and bile ducts and taking a chunk out of my duodenum. He MAY take out the gallbladder if he sees any evidence of stones, and if they have to do the more drastic surgery, he'll definitely be removing the gallbladder, and possibly parts of my pancreas and stomach, etc. Any one of those things can mess with the bile/enzyme/processing stuff.

I think a full stook panel sounds like a really good plan!

Donna,

Do you get an surgery date this week?

I am ordering an full panel test today. I have to figure this out. I think i was actually healthier when i ate gluten lol.

Do you get an surgery date this week?

They didn't say, but I suspect that I will by the end of the week. I left there around 3:30, so they probably didn't get an answer from the scheduling department even if they did call Friday. I figure they'll probably call tomorrow to schedule and I'll probably hear on Tuesday or Wednesday...but that's all MY guess, lol.

Thanks. There was an old thread resurrected and you had posted on that thread. Someone asked you a question and I mentioned that you didn't post there anymore, so I'd bet that PM was regarding amalgams, LOL!

I am very excited about Germany! Less than a week away! I guess if this Bionic works I might get to meet many of you ..... I'm sure you'll want to visit when I'm healthy ;) The Bionic is supposed to be good at moving out metals and other toxins, in addition to getting the Lyme.

This is very odd ... I've been feeling good lately (past two days) unless I EAT. When I eat it's not digestive issues, it's pain ... not in my stomach, but my back and shoulders. Why? I don't get it?

I am feeling better though and have gained back three pounds. I have not been eating more or less than before, the weight has come back just the same way it went away ... for absolutely no reason at all. I must be moving out the mold toxins to be feeling better. I'm not on the cholestyramine, it was killing me. I've been taking zeolite and chlorella.

Can you take an antihistamine? That sounds like some inflammation in the Eustachian tube...

:o Talk about scarey! My goodness. Donna I can see why this has captured your full attention lately. I will be hoping with you for the lesser invasive procedure.

Carla, that sounds good about the weight readjusting. Probably all of this is just detoxifying. Very weird about the pain in back and shoulders when you eat. I haven't a clue about that one unless it is referred pain?

I am really hoping the Bionic will be the answer for you and for many of us too.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Yeah, I don't know what it's all about ..... but it's normal pain for me, just odd it's only after I eat. Maybe I'm doing okay until I need energy to digest???

mftnchn Explorer

I wondered that too. Hmm, bile release with foods? Take more binders 1/2 hour before a meal?

CarlaB Enthusiast

What's that mean? Bile release? I mean, I know what bile is, but how would it cause pain? :) Toxins being released?

Carla,

I get the neck and back pain when I eat sometimes. Sometimes I think its *what* i eat, then other times I think its that my digestion is stressed even though I do not get the *normal* type symptoms. I have had the pain in the neck and back then it moved down to the intestines - and went away in the back (if that makes sense). So, I figured out it really was pain coming from digestion.

OR it could be you are moving things around when you eat - moving toxins through and that's why you feel it then.

Try seeing if there is certain food thats causing it or if its at every meal.

Wow, I am only taking 200 mg IM of glutathione a week. I am going to ask my LLMD about taking extra doses when I feel symptomatic.

Sherry,

Is there an scd diet without dairy? I thoughti seens someone talk about it, but i cant think now were i seen it posted lol.

Everyone,

I ordered an complete stool test. It was my birthday present to myself lol. I figured i would be doing it right around my birthday next week lol. This pain is really really bad, I think giving birth was so much less painful.

paula

CarlaB Enthusiast

Thanks, April. I don't think it's any particular food, I get this way if I eat any solid food. Mine doesn't move like yours does. If I eat a smoothie (even if I take supps with it) I'm okay. If it's anything solid, I get the pain.

I get it if I eat a piece of toast (Ezekiel Bread), so I was thinking, gluten since I've had that problem before ... but when I eat a berry stella at Starbucks, no pain. But pretty much any food gives me the pain .... other than the berry stella, rofl.

Paula,

The diet is highly specific to what each person can tolerate. The premise is when you heal enough to eat certain foods, then those foods are on the *okay* list because they don't hender digestion. Some people start very slow with minimal foods and slowly add things in.

I have been 95% no dairy for 2 years so I am used to eating that way. When I started the SCD the only dairy I would eat was the homemade yogurt. I haven't been completely strict on myself *yet*. I will be more into it when my son starts it with me. I just wanted to get the idea down before starting him on it.

So, if dairy is a problem right now, you can tailor it to your body type and do it without. Just start with the foods you "know" are okay for you.

mftnchn Explorer

Well, I just haven't found the culprit in terms of the return of symptoms for me, although I do think the almonds (the ones with stuff added) are a problem. I seem to be detoxing too, with a rash like acne but not quite the same, fatigue and fogginess. Not sure exactly what is going on, unless it is mold related. So I am going back to eating my moderate SCD approach. There is obvious GI symptoms in terms of constipation or abnormal BMs. Some bloating but that has been the case all along.

I also don't seem to have much response to taking more mag and C like I used to. :( I'm going to push it up a bit more and see what happens. I do have a liquid mineral mix I haven't been using so I think I'll add it in just in case the DMPS is getting rid of more than I am supplementing.

The symptoms typically aren't severe but the fatigue/fog has been bad enough to disrupt work a couple of days.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Sherry that is exactly the rash I would get. It's clearing up more now every day. I had it when I first was sick, then it went away a while. A few months ago it came back. I changed shampoos, etc. wondering what could be causing it. Finally, when I got rid of the bed, it started to clear up. I just have a few bumps left. They almost seem like pimples, but can't be popped.

AndreaB Contributor

Carla,

Can't wait to read about your trip. You'll let us know where you're blogging right? I don't know what to say about your pain though.

Paula,

Hope the stool test gives you some answers. :(

Donna,

I'm hoping for the absolute best, easiest scenario for you.

Sherry,

I'm wondering about mold with you too. Maybe if you're moving metals out some mold is being disturbed. I don't know what the mold shots have in them or what they do though......

CarlaB Enthusiast

I'll be sure to let you know, Andrea, I haven't decided where to keep the blog yet. I'm thinking about myspace, but I may also put it at a blog spot so people who don't have a myspace can get to it .... also so I can post where it is publicly.

I'm feeling pretty good again today. I've been off meds since getting rid of the bed, except for trying to get back on them for a few days. I should be going downhill as I haven't even been taking herbs and normally I'd start feeling bad by now, especially off babesia meds.

I have a head cold ... Adam has it, too. I'm constantly blowing my nose. Normally, my symptoms would flare during a cold especially off meds. I have had a couple times on meds when I was feeling good that my symptoms didn't flare, but I think it's significant that I'm off meds and herbs, have a cold and my symptoms are not flaring.

Even if I weren't going to Germany, I think that at this point, I would be taking only herbs. I just think I'm getting better. About 80-85% yesterday. I took two Advil late in the afternoon (after eating) .... but that's a significant improvement from taking Norco regularly ... plus, I usually take three Advil.

Well, I'll be busy today! I'm going to the gym, then getting cleaned up and spending the afternoon with Adam. :)

I guess I'd feel really good if I didn't have this cold!

Paula, check out www.pecanbread.com Many of the autistic kids are not able to eat dairy so the site has a lot of options for that.

Thanks sherry, I think i better wait til after I do the stool test and then start the diet.

Carla.,

Glad you are feeling better.

Andrea,

I hope i get some answers to. Last night my mom threatned to check me into the hospital til they can tell me why I am so sick. I was like im not going to an medical hospital, they will kill me lol

Uggg, another sleepless night...or rather, slept okay until 2:00 then NOT, lol.

Yes, it must be, lol. They asked about binders. Heck, if I have any body parts left after surgery I'd come, lol! :lol:

Can you take an antihistamine? That sounds like some inflammation in the Eustachian tube...

Hum, I guess I need to get some antihistamine...dumped my whole bottle on the floor of the airplane on my last trip to Las Vegas, lol. Yeah, funny thing is, I can almost predict when I am going to get it. I ate a whole lot of chocolate last week that had dairy, and I'm pretty sure that did it. It seems to happen any time I eat too much chocolate with dairy. I think my ear is my current "weak" spot.

I'm hoping for the absolute best, easiest scenario for you.

Thanks! :)

Sherry that is exactly the rash I would get. They almost seem like pimples, but can't be popped.

Yep exactly like that. I had it last year for awhile, and then again this summer when I first did SCD, and now again.

Andrea, I have been having the same thought. My mold shots are a tiny amount of the mold mixture, so it is like a mold exposure. This is the season that I have trouble with mold. And then suddenly the shot was too much so like an overload.

Another thing is that I would have had a greatly increased mold exposure and pollution exposure for the 2-3 years before my tick bite and my allergies were worsening along that time as well because that is when I moved to Asia to a very damp hot climate. I lived in that climate for more than 20 years and I know that the mold impacted me. So maybe I am finally detoxing? Maybe I couldn't detox before but things are opening up?

Do you think the mold could so upset my digestion though?

CarlaB Enthusiast
Do you think the mold could so upset my digestion though?

I was free from any digestive symptoms until I got rid of the mattress a couple weeks ago, so I do think mold detox can cause severe digestive issues. I still am feeling sick whenever I eat solid food. I think I'm going to have to go back to smoothies, lattes, etc.

Also, from what I've read, if you're mold toxic, mold allergy shots can be counter-productive. If you already have mold toxins in your system the allergy shots can be harmful. Open Original Shared Link

If you go to the bottom of that page, there is a return to menu option .... it's kinda hard to figure out where "home" is at that website.

Mold toxicity is often the end result with constant exposure to mold of a toxic substance. A common misconception among allergists who are untrained in this type of toxicity levels in humans, which is technically not their area of expertise unless they have trained specifically in environmental medicine with their background in immunology, is to do general allergen testing. Most tests usually result in an unequivocal result, a 2+ or less. This induces some physicians to order allergy shots, regardless. These shots are absolutely worthless (and could possibly be harmful) to a person who has been heavily exposed to these mycotoxins as they are already in a state of toxicity. If anything, this could exacerbate the problem. Because many doctors are not trained in this field, they may try to "guess" at a diagnosis.

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.

      @Scatterbrain, Thiamine Vitamin B1 and amino acid Taurine work together.  Our bodies can make Taurine from meats consumed.  Our bodies cannot make Thiamine and must consume thiamine from food.  Meat is the best source of B vitamins like Thiamine.   Vegetarians may not make sufficient taurine since they don't eat meat sources of taurine.  Seaweed is the best vegetarian source of taurine. Vegetarians may not consume sufficient Thiamine since few veggies are good sources.  Whole grains, legumes, and nuts and seeds contain thiamine.  Many of these sources can be hard to digest and absorb for people with Celiac disease.   You may find taking the forms of thiamine called Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and a B Complex will give the benefits you're looking for better than taurine alone.

      @Jmartes71, I went to Doterra's site and had a look around.  The Doterra TerraZyme supplement really jumped out at me.  Since we, as Celiacs, often have digestive problems, I looked at the ingredients.  The majority of the enzymes in this supplement are made using black mold, Aspergillus!  Other enzymes are made by yeast Saccharomyces!  Considering the fact that Celiac often have permeable intestines (leaky gut syndrome), I would be very hesitant to take a product like this.  Although there may not be live black mold or yeast in the product, the enzymes may still cause an immune system response which would definitely cause inflammation throughout the body.   Skin, eyes, and intestines are all made from the same basic type of cells.  Your skin on the outside and eyes can reflect how irritated the intestines are on the inside.  Our skin, eyes, and intestines all need the same vitamins and nutrients to be healthy:  Vitamin A, Niacin B3 and Tryptophan, Riboflavin B2, Biotin B7, Vitamin C, and Omega Threes.  Remember that the eight B vitamins work together.  Just taking high doses of just one, vitamin like B12, can cause a deficiency in the others.  Taking high doses of B12 can mask a Folate B9 deficiency.  If you take B12, please take a B Complex, too.  Thiamine B1 can be taken in high doses safely without toxicity.  Thiamine is needed by itself to produce energy so every cell in the body can function, but Thiamine also works with the other B vitamins to make life sustaining enzymes and digestive enzymes.  Deficiencies in either Niacin, Vitamin C, or Thiamine can cause digestive problems resulting in Pellagra, Scurvy, and Gastrointestinal Beriberi.   If you change your diet, you will change your intestinal microbiome.  Following the Autoimmune Protocol Diet, a Paleo diet, will starve out SIBO bacteria.  Thiamine keeps bacteria in check so they don't get out of control as in SIBO.  Thiamine also keeps MOLDS and Yeasts from overgrowth.   Menopause symptoms and menstrual irregularities are symptomatic of low Vitamin D.   Doctors are not as knowledgeable about malnutrition as we need them to be.  A nutritionist or dietician would be more helpful.   Take control of your diet and nutrition.  Quit looking for a pill that's going to make you feel better overnight.  The Celiac journey is a marathon, not a sprint.   "Let food be your medicine, and let medicine be your food."

      The Lindt (Lindor) dairy-free oat milk truffles are definitely gluten-free, and (last time I checked) so are the white chocolate truffles and the mint chocolate truffles.
