I don't know who did the test. The local lab said they had to send the specimen somewhere else cause they couldn't do it. What did you do for your leaky gut?

I'm not doing anything specific as far as treating leaky gut. Candida and Leaky gut are generally a symtpom of a larger problem. For me its mostly mercury and other heavy metals...and I also have Lyme.

I'm addressing those things since if it werent for them I wouldnt have leaky gut to begin with.

My gut isnt going to heal with all this other stuff going on...so I have to prioritize. Get rid of the big issues and then the body can pretty much heal itself.

How do you get metal toxicity diagnosed?

I wouldnt trust those test resuts. <_<

The labs most doctors use have something like 60% sensitivity for picking up Lyme. Thats real bad...you want something close to 100% sensitive when testing for something as serious as Lyme. This is why most cases go undiagnosed. :(

I guessed that that one was you only because the other one that looked older than the ones in front looked like Morgan. You look like teenager.

How do you get metal toxicity diagnosed?

I have real good Dr.'s who specialize in this type of stuff. They understand how all this works and what types of things cause it.

Conventional...or "mainstream" Dr.'s do not really address these issues. I see "Integrative" Dr.'s who diagnose and treat all sorts of things but mostly specialize in Mercury Detox, Lyme Disease and Autism.

Also these things seem to be intertwined.

If you have Lyme you tend to have issues with heavy metals....if you have heavy metals for sure you've got candida...if you've got candida and mercury then you've probably got leaky gut....if you've got leaky gut you're likely dealing with a whole lot of intolerances...and so on and so on.

If your a small child with all of this going on....that would be called Autism. :(

So I have Dr.'s who know how it works. I've only very recently started any treatment. I've treated candida and leaky gut in the past....to no avail...because I wasnt really getting to the root of my problems. I was basically doing it on my own.

You take a chelating agent and do a urine test.

Thanks Andrea and Laura.

Laura, have you started the new antibiotic yet? What are you now taking?

Off for ice cream and presents. Andrea, ANY ice cream is more than normal!! LOL Normally I'd eat a whole pint, tonight, just a half pint. :P

I'm on Biaxin,from the same family. My insurance wouldn't approve the zith. :blink: They have no problem with Mepron, but they denied zith. Strange.

I'm on doxy, but they're going to change it for the summer, probably to mino. Good thing you're not on it, I got sun poisoning on my hand through the car window when I had #35 sunscreen on.

Hi Carla,

Is it too nosey of me to ask why you are taking doxy? My sister was on it for about a year and had wonderful result for pain.

No, it's not too nosey, this is the stuff we talk about! :) I have Lyme Disease and a babesia coinfection. I'm on a bunch of medication and supplements for it -- medications to kill the bugs, supplements to rebuild my immune system.

Here's a link to root canals and cancer for anyone interested.

Open Original Shared Link

I know my doctor has told me they have been implicated in women with breast cancer as well.

There is another good site which I think Rachel already linked.....tuberose.

Just noticed I totally read the question wrong. Thought she asked "How did you get diagnosed for heavy metal toxicity?" My post makes no sense. :ph34r:

Ummm...yeah...what Carla said.

You take a chelating agent and do a urine test. :D

Dear Andrea and Rachel,

Now I am back where I started! I just want to cry! :( This root canal business is causing major problems. All I know is I am in pain and need to fix it. The problem is what is the answer?

Dear Donna,

I think the Valerian may be the trouble. I know it gave me difficulty. The morning supplements should not be a problem. However, the 5-HTP could be the source. My father said it could do that, too. He used to work for an herbal company. Anyway, those are two possibilities.

Dear Mango,

:lol: Those geese do sound like ours! They stole them! The Auxigro people poisoned them, then brainwashed them! You know what this means...another lawsuit. As District Attorney of Rachelville, I am obligated to file a major lawsuit. They won't get away with this! :angry:

Dear Laura,

We can take Zithromax? I did not know that! It is one of the few antibiotics I tolerate! It is great, you only take it once a day. Those others you have to take four times a day.

Dear Carla,

Skyline Chili sounds terrific! So does the ice cream and caramel sauce! You really do look like a kid in that pic! I kept thinking "Where is Carla?" :lol: HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

WTH?? :unsure:

I did not know this about Doxy....you cant take it during the summer?? :huh:

When I was first getting sick and my face was totally burning from the neurotoxins...they stupidly diagnosed me with Rosacea and put me on high doses of Tetracycline. Yeah...what do you think that did to me?? :rolleyes:

Hint: It did not help. :angry:

Anyways...they said I couldnt go out in the sun...because the antibiotic makes you more susceptible to sunburn. Is that the case with Doxy as well?? Why is it that the antibiotic causes this? :unsure:

I did go out in the sun while I was on Tetracycline and I didnt have any adverse reactions that I can recall.

happy birthday carla...

I was reading some lymenet posts over the weekend and read a post that reminded me of what you said regarding your lyme situation... saw the name was sixgoofykids and the location was ohio so I'm assuming that's you, right?

Andrea....I read the link you posted.

I had read about the testing on rabbits in one of the posts on LymeNET.

I just cant believe I never knew any of this stuff was so toxic or harmful. It blows my mind. :blink:

On the one hand I sort of feel fortunate to be learning...so that I'm informed and dont end up causing more harm to myself down the road.

And then on the other hand I just want to put my hands over my ears and eyes and just walk around going "La -la-la-la-la-la-......I cant hear you...I cant see you....La-la-la-la" :ph34r:

Yeah...I just wanna block it all out and go back to normal when I didnt know anything and I wasnt sick...and I could eat all kinds of garbage...and I was just a normal fast food eating citizen who'd never heard of a neurotoxin. :huh:

Anyone else??

      I am going to France in two weeks and then to Portugal in May   Thanks for your reply

      Welcome to the forum, @SuzanneL! Which tTG was that? tTG-IGA? tTG-IGG? Were there other celiac antibody tests run from that blood draw? Was total IGA measured? By some chance were you already cutting back on gluten by the time the blood draw was taken or just not eating much? For the celiac antibody tests to be accurate a person needs to be eating about 10g of gluten daily which is about 4-6 pieces of bread.
    • SuzanneL
      I've recently received a weak positive tTG, 6. For about six years, I've been sick almost everyday. I was told it was just my IBS. I have constant nausea. Sometimes after I eat, I have sharp, upper pain in my abdomen. I sometimes feel or vomit (bile) after eating. The doctor wanted me to try a stronger anti acid before doing an endoscopy. I'm just curious if these symptoms are pointing towards Celiac Disease? 
    • Scott Adams
      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.
