I was thinking we need Laughing Lyme Ladies Lunching, we could have really sharp lime green hats and bags and we could have fun and we could help people understand that we can use illness as a gateway to compassion for ourselves and for the world that so much needs it.

Love and Blessings

Kind of like our own "red hat club"!!! How fun!

Hey, gals--I was just getting a much-needed haircut, and the TV was on --Montel was doing a show on eosiniphilic disorders. Unfortunately, the volume was off, but I saw printed on the screen something about eosiniphilic disorder causing 20 different food allergies in one child.

I'll make a separate thread about this, just in case it helps someone!

The oddest thing is, years ago, my cat had a recurrent itchy spot on his chin that he kept scratching bloody, and the vet said it was eosiniphilic ulcerative complex. I remember working rather hard to memorize that one! (Wonder if there's such a thing as feline DH?)

So, in the red hat club, they were red/purple if they are over 50. under fifties wear like pink and light purple. So should we start color-coding our group....lyme-green...come on, what others should we do? :)

You get to pick for eos since you're the one being tested for it. Gluten intolerance/celiac -- shall we wear wheat brown? That's so boring. Those with Lyme can wear the green hat with a sash on it in the color of their other issues.

Rinne,

Yes, I believe you are tired due to the events of the week in Calgary and getting a diagnosis. You have been getting so little sleep (in my eyes) that it would seem you are finally allowing yourself to get some much needed rest.

Rachel,

How have things been with you? When's your next appointment?

Carla,

It certainly wouldn't hurt for you to get tested for Lyme. Your new doctor would probably be willing to do that and use Igenix. Especially if you had tick bites when you were younger. We got a lot of flea bites moving into where we are, so even though they are a remoted possibility I'm going to be keeping that in the back of my mind.

Laura,

Keep posting about eos. I will also keep that in the back of my mind. I like learning things and can pass them on to others if the need arrives.

Miamia,

How have you been? When do you get the results from your tests last week.

Donna,

Yae!!! Keep it up. Glad it is easier to follow this since it is written down for you.

Julie,

You are not a lousy participant. Stop that talk!

Andrea-

how is your father?

how are you doing with the new food intolerances?

I won't have the test results for at least another week- I hate waiting- I get so impatient when it has to do with results and my health- I just wanna know so I can do something about it.

I hope youre well

Miamia

Haven't talked to my father since the last time. I usually try to talk to him every week or two now. Hopefully he'll be more coherant next time. This has just made me realize that he's getting older, he's 78. Little girls daddies don't remain invincible forever do they.

We are getting through with the intolerances. A lot of mine are just over into the low side so I'm thinking I'll be ok with those. That goes for garlic. Talitha is just over on that and I'm on the line between no reaction and low. Some of them Mitch isn't too interested in testing. We'll see.

I also hate waiting for test results for anything. It's hard to sit back and wait. Hope you get some answers soon.

Carla--I can't possibly wear wheat--I would be terribly washed out :lol:

Maybe something brighter? I'm open to suggestion...

Then we could all re-do our avatars in our designated color :D

Ok, for some seriousness. Just talked to my mom who got back from vacation this weekend. She talked to a friend down in Arizona who just happened to be over visiting my dad and his wife. My mom learned that dad has a tumor on his kidney. He's in a lot of pain, hence the meds. He's not coherant, sleeps a lot. His wife is upset that he hasn't told my brother and I what's going on. I'm upset too. I would really like to go see him if his time is going to be so short. Moms going to see if she can get any more info or not since he won't talk to us about it. I guess that answers my question as to why he said he wasn't going to be around long. :(

I'm sad now......Seth is over here laughing away......can't stay sad with a smiling, laughing baby can I? :):(

Patti, wheat would wash me out, too. How about Celiac.com blue? The darker one ... the color of the logo.

Supposedly either it is too progressed to do chemo or my dad refused it, although I think my mom said it was too far progressed. He had cancer removed 5 years ago with the other kidney and has had cat scans but I guess nothing was caught.

Seth's nickname is Sunshine. Although he's getting more Stormy as he gets older and copies his older siblings.....he's still more sunshine than storm at this point though.

Andrea, I am so sorry to hear this about your Dad. I hope you can make arrangements to get down there to be with him. You and your family are in my thoughts.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      Thanks everyone for replying. Actually made a mistake when stating the lab range for results, should have been 0.0-7.0 not 0.7 u/ml. She was 19 u/ml. I’m afraid science bamboozles me especially trying to understand all the IgA’s and other bits!!!!Regular blood results like full blood count etc not so much!!!!

      Diagnosed w Celiacs, but reacting to gluten-free Digiorno Pizza AND Kraft Zesty Italian Dressing

      By John767 · Posted

      DiGiornos gluten free pizza at one point was  made from a dough derived of wheat starch...yet they were able to call it gluten free probably because it came in at under 20ppm for gluten.  Apparently the recipe was changed and the pizza not longer contains a wheat starch derived crust.  As for the Heinz dressing, it could be an issue with cross contamination with wheat barley and or rye somewhere during the production process.  If you read how Frito-Lays (on their website) designates items gluten free, you will understand the variances in the lengths companies go through in deciding when to put on a gluten free label and when not--Frito-Lays is pretty solid.  Also being in Canada, they may follow a common international rule of less than 20ppm of gluten is all that is required to be labeled gluten free regardless of the grains used to manufacture the product (common in Europe, Central, and South America)...it took a couple of really rough mornings after consuming some Dura Damm (labeled as gluten free outside the USA) for me to realize that it was a gluten reduced beer. Same with Mahou Beer which actually says in Spanish "suitable for celiacs", unfortunately it is not suitable for this celiac and of course the following day was really rough as well...really take the time to read the ingredients because had I read the ingredients of  Mahou's "suitable for celiacs" "sin gluten" beer I would have noticed that it was made from cabada (Spanish for barley)...hope this helps...

      Blood results

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Here is an article that explains test results and what they mean.  Testing for Celiac Disease is so elusive, any positive, unless a lab error false positive, is evident of Celiac.  It is easier to be in denial, tnan committing to gluten free.  Like not believing a pregnancy test.  Denial will lead to more suffering. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?

      Diagnosed gluten allergy but not Celiac

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I believe that what triggers acute Celiac Disease is vitamin D deficiency.  When we have stress it depletes our already low vitamin D, (40% to 60% of us in the industrial world are deficient) allowing the Celiac genes and the immune system to run amuck.  At 93 ng/ml 25(OH)D blood level, the last time I accidentally glutened myself, all that I got was a runny nose and burning eyes three days later.  It took 8 years, taking 10,000 IU a day to get to this blood level. Vitamin D Is Not as Toxic as Was Once Thought Possible Role of Vitamin D in Celiac Disease Onset So true.  If I am working on something I'm enjoying, I put off eating because after I eat I mostly feel worse.  Not so much anymore, but it's been a life long struggle with the anorexia.  M&M Peanuts is a good go-to snack.  For the dairy Kosher Dill pickles, brine fermented, not vinegar quick pickles (vinegar kills the bacteria), will repopulate your gut with Lactobacillus that exretes lactase, the reason adults are not lactose intolerant.  Also, grassfed milk has less omega 6 fatty acids than commercial grain fed dairy. Grassfed omega 6:3 ratio is 1:1; Organic milk 3:1; Commercial Dairy 5:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation.  The typical western diet is 14:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  A good reason not to eat gluten.  Here is a list: High omega-3/low omega-6 I find it interesting that the new diagnosis of Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity was created 10 years after Norman Borlaug, "the father of the Green Revolution" and our modern grain crops, received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970.

      Thanks for your reply. She has been given a date for her endoscopy, 28th of this month, so hopefully she’ll know for sure if she definitely has coeliac. Needless to say she’s dreading it!!!!
