DO NOT EAT THE WHOLE BAG IN ONE SITTING. TAKE OUT A FEW, PUT THE REST BACK IN THE FREEZER. You can do this ... if I can stop at 1/4 of a donut, you can eat in moderation, too!!!!

Carla.....are you an alien :lol: .....one-fourth of a donut - I wouldn't even bother....somehow I am needing QUANTITY these days, what is up wiht that?......have not opened nuggets, will not open today. Am waiting. am experiencing self-control - new concept.... :unsure:

Vincent - I think your dog would enjoy that new toy. These dingos would be thrilled with that...they love new toys - Tika even plays fetch with herself...... :)

I am not supposed to have ANY sugar. I've been so good that I rewarded myself with one cup of decaf coffee (can't have it either) and 1/4 of a donut. It was just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without stressing my adrenals too much!

Take out a few nuggets and eat them. Put the rest in the refrigerator ... if you wait, once you start, it's gonna get ugly. :o

Donna,

Awhile back you asked about the mercury-free dentist I saw. I'm pretty sure he retired cuz I recall getting something in the mail announcing it. I was just doing a search on mercury-related stuff and ended up on his webpage. I'm like "Hey....thats the guy!".

Anyways heres the link...I dont know if the place is still there or what. I think he might have sold the dentristry to someone else in the same field...not positive though. If you're interested you could probably find out. They were really knowledgeable about this stuff there.

I wouldnt do oral DMSA, I would do IV DMPS.

I've done alot of research on this and my choice will be to NOT use intraveneous DMPS.....heres why

Open Original Shared Link

Read the stories of the people who've gone this route....

Also the experts who've actually had mercury toxicity and gone through chelation do not recommend DMPS through IV. DMPS is not FDA approved...while DMSA is. From the research I've done it seems that DMSA and oral DMPS are quite effective and of less risk to the patient. IV DMPS is by far more powerful but at what cost?? I'd rather get better slowly than risk permanant damage....thats just me though. Also the book I have (written by Andy Cutler) is considered to be the best book there is on the subject....he also does not recommend IV DMPS under any circumstances.

Most of the people advocating IV DMPS have a financial stake in it. Also the cost is much higher than that of the oral chelators.

I will play it safe and take the advice from those who've done it and regretted it.

I believe the slogan the biological dentists use is "First...do no harm".

Sounds good to me... :)

about the inactivations of enzymes and DNA mutations due to heavy metal exposure,,,, ive been obsessing on that all along, BTW :P

I wonder if there is some immoessay or genetic test to see if certain enzymes are working properly, howerever there are so many enzymes with so many functions it would be impossible to test them all,,etc.

Even if there were tests available for this I personally wouldnt pay for them. I already know that my enzymes arent working properly because I react to whole food groups and chemicals. I'm more interested in getting to the root cause of why everything isnt working right in my body. All of the *functional* tests I've taken show something isnt right....but they dont tell me why...and they dont get me better.

:lol::lol:

Laughing at Andrea and Patti's new avatars!

Susan, I'm in agreement about the 1/4 donut.....I could never do it. How could I stop? :ph34r:

You take the donut out of the freezer, cut off 1/4 of it, put the rest back in the freezer, then eat when the donut is thawed and don't go back to the freezer!!!!

Carla,

Nothing so "sensible" ever works with me. <_<

I would go back to the freezer...take out more donut...*not* wait for it to thaw (that would take too long)...throw it in the microwave and eat it.

Then I'd be upset cuz there was no more donut.....I'd go buy more and then Rachel the heck out of them. :ph34r:

Julie,

Everytime I buy my ice cream...I *have* to pick up the vanilla flavored one and read the ingredients...as if they might spontaniously change someday. :rolleyes: I've never bought that one because it has annatto in it for color....I think it would give me a bad reaction. If only that one ingredient wasnt on there.....well we all know what would happen then. :P

I'm like you carla if I allow myself something I should not necesssarily have I just have a little. Since its nothing that gives me a major reaction I am usually able to tolerate it where as if I had a lot of it I'de probably get really sick. This also makes me appreciate what I ma eating so much more.

EVERYONE......please keep your opinions of abortion or anything as controversial as this topic is off of this thread. If you would like to discuss such matters in pm's then please do so....but not on this thread. I know I've made this announcement before but this thread is intended for uncovering medical issues that are still making us sick....to offer support on HEALTH issues.

Someone comes onto the thread announcing their intentions and then doesnt want to respond to pms. A public forum on food intolerances is not the place for this and complaints are being made. Please do not respond to Christina on this thread....use pm's.

I think we all did our best to offer support....she has made a decision....chose to announce it here....now lets leave it at that. There is NO way to say anything on this subject thats not gonna offend someone.....and I would appreciate it if the subject is now dropped. This is not one of those "controversial" threads and its not gonna become one either.

Thanks

I decided to jump in on this new "things we Rachel" avatar trend. I couldn't decide though...I think I need multiple avatars for this.

Oh and sorry to so drastically change the subject. I was just really excited to find that image. Haven't had one of those in MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! :(:)

I may just have to look at those. I assume they are gluten-free/SF/CF since you are. I've been avoiding peanut butter even though I don't have a problem with it, since I'm intolerant to soy.

Yep I think you could probably have those....and the peanut butter is optional :). They do have a statement that says "we do not use any gluten, dairy, soy etc. etc. ingredients" right above another statement that says "manufactured in a facility with soy and dairy." I've never had any problems with them though.

Mango Meredith....you Rachel the nectar bars???? that is so.....healthy :lol: And you can see that so far none of us is rachelling anything we really should be....I have only had the berry one, loved it, but wouldn't go so far as to RACHEL it....

I looked for a pic of the muffins. As soon as I find an image that does them justice...it's going up :). I don't know that I really Rachel Clif Bars...but I really like them LOL

Mango04 Enthusiast

Okay here's something else I Rachel. There's nothing healthy about these and they don't come in berry flavor :). Can you tell I have a really exciting job? Are they gonna wonder why I have images of Clif Bars, Biscotti (and Ian's Chicken Nuggets) saved to the desktop? Am I talking to myself now? (I think everyone in the US went to sleep :rolleyes: )

Guest melannen

I'm not asleep! Give me a few minutes,I'll try to find piccies of stuff I rachel :D

Found one! Mmmm lemon cranberry cookies. Made by kinnikinnick

Meredith,

I'm still here. I have to take a break in the evenings to get Seth down (I read a book while he goes to sleep, works for me :P ), and hubby does like a smidgen of time on the computer. :blink:

      It's possible he's in the early stages of celiac disease, and it has been caught before villi damage. The blood test results so far do indicate possible celiac disease, as well as his strong family history of celiac disease. If his symptoms get better on a gluten-free diet this would be another strong indication. Personally I think it's definitely better to proceed on the safe side and go gluten-free, rather than to risk severe villi damage and all that comes with it.

      For some context: I have type 1 diabetes (T1D) (since 11 years) and celiac disease(since 4 years) For about a year now, I’ve been experiencing permanent floating and undigested stools. I’ve had a pancreas elastase test done. The first result was extremely low at 44, but a second test came back at 236. My doctor said that since one result is normal, it rules out pancreatic insufficiency because, according to them, elastase levels would always stay low if that were the issue. However, could the 236 have been a false result? My doctor also thinks I don’t have pancreatic insufficiency because I’m able to gain weight. I also get hgh injections as my bone age is younger than my real age, this also contributes to weight gain, so I dont know if weight gain can rule out malabsorption. But maybe if I had real malabsorption I wouldnt gain any weight even with hgh? For celiac, I’m on a gluten-free diet, but there might b small cross-contamination from things like pepper labeled as “may contain gluten.” or sausages which dont have gluten ingredient but say may contain. My doctor said that small amounts like this wouldn’t harm me and even mentioned that an occasional small exposure to gluten may not do much damage (which seems questionable since I thought even tiny amounts could be harmful). She also said that when Im older (Im m17) I could try eating small amounts of gluten and do antibody blood tests to see if I can tolerate small amounts or not. For reference, I’m asymptomatic when it comes to celiac, so I have no idea if I’ve been “glutened” or not. My first concerning celiac blood test was semi high IgA, then 3 months later we did a check up and my IgA was high so it was confirmed celiac. Since than I’ve had celiac antibody tests done yearly to see how my diet is going, and they’ve been negative, but I’ve heard those aren’t always reliable. I’ve never had a follow-up endoscopy to confirm healing. I also always kept eating „may contain gluten“ food. (I live in Germany so I dont know if „may contain gluten“ is as risky as in the usa but I suppose both are as risky) These stool issues started around the same time I was doing excessive heavy lifting at the gym. Could stress or lifting have triggered this, or is that less likely since the symptoms persist even after I stopped lifting? Occasionally, I’ll feel very mild stomach discomfort, but it’s rare and not severe. My doctor (also a dietist) said floating, undigested stools could still be “normal,” but that doesn’t seem realistic to me. Could this be impacting my vitamin or protein absorption? I also did a fructose intolerance breath test and had a high baseline of 20 ppm, but it never increased—only decreased over time. I fasted for 12 hours and didn’t eat fructose beforehand, but my stomach didn’t feel completely empty during the test. Could this mean the test was inaccurate? For lactose intolerance, I did the breath test but only fasted 10 hours and had eaten lactose prior because I wasn’t aware of the proper diet restrictions. My results were: 14, 12, 15, 25, 35, 40, 40 ppm—which would be considered positive. But given that I didn’t fast long enough or follow the right diet, could this result be unreliable? Has anyone else dealt with similar symptoms? What ended up being the cause for you? And sorry for the long text!

      The Docs' and NP haven't committed to Celiac determination yet but say go gluten-free diet because...  And I have with improved physical results - feeling better; overall functions better, and more energy.  Still 10 pounds down in weight but I still have BMI of ~23.  It's been just over a month now gluten-free diet.  I'm fortunate I get along with diary/milk well and most other foods. I wanted ask about this site's sponsor, gliadin X.  If this is legit, seems like a good product to keep on hand. Though it says it's only a safety for incidental gluten contact - not a substitue for gluten-free diet. What's your input on this? This may be sensitive subject since they're a sponsor. I've used resources here and other sites for information, gluten-free food/product lists. So thank you for all that support. That's it for now - Stay warm...  -2F this morning in Colorado!

      I did suffer with gastric symptoms before diagnosis, but got all sorts of weird and wacky symptoms after going gluten free.   Things got much better once my antibodies fell to normal levels, but it took years (please don't panic, many people's go to normal levels relatively quickly when following a gluten-free diet). Causes of the symptoms you mention that I also experienced were iron supplements, a temporary dairy intolerance (this is common in coeliacs and should pass when your gut heals properly), and eating oats, as mentioned above.  Other symptoms I got were musculoskeletal pain after diagnosis, but again, once my coeliac blood tests were normal, I had no more pain. I did notice patterns emerging in foods that I reacted to and learned to steer clear of them, then gradually reintroduced them when my gut healed, such as soya, pure oats and dairy products.    You might like to keep a food diary.

      Well the conflicting results continue as the biopsy has come back negative. 😵‍💫 Waiting to discuss further but I really don’t know what to think now? Eight biopsy’s were taken from duodenum which surely should be sufficient if it was coeliac?
