Speaking of the SIBO, I am starting my sequence of treatment for it, either tonight or tomorrow. Even though I tested neg for it, I'm still having GI issues, so she wants to try it.

Hope all goes well with the SIBO treatment. I also hope this flare dies down quickly for this weekend.

Make sure you get your rest. :)

I want to do this horse rescue, but it's too far away for right now. There are plenty of local shelters.

Horse rescue? Now that sounds like something I'd like too. Of course I wouldn't mind shelters either. I just always want to bring the kitties home. :ph34r:

Tabasco - - I don't know if I"ve written this before on here (dingo'd it if I have :ph34r: ) but there is something that works quite well for me: get some tea, any kind you'd like. Put about 2 tablespoons of flax seeds in - - this is assuming you can tolerate them, of course. Let the seeds and tea steep. The seeds will get slippery and soft......you just gently crunch them at the end of the tea. Works like a charm for me......and yes, drink LOTS of water!

Thank you, but this just totally made me smile...poopy...diarrhea...poopy. :lol:

:lol: you are a nut, Lady.

and yes, get those attorneys to FULLY fix up your home office!!! work from home on the days you're not well.....after FIFTEEN YEARS (cannot conceive of this) I think they would do it!

patti-Please come to Boston. Oh please oh please oh please!!!!!! The house next door to us is for sale and it's cute and Angus would greet you EVERY morning. He even said he's made you a gluten-free coffee cake cuz he knows you're coming. Actually, it sounded more like "Woof garble garble grrr WOOF!" but I knew what he meant!

HARRUMPH!!!! no, no, no, NO!!!! we want her!! Come to California!!! Yay Patti!! Yes, yes, California!!!! :rolleyes:

and yes, isn't she wise and clever for not divulging this info, whereas I, as we all know, WOULD in fact broadcast it to the world....

Bev - - I was going to suggest the nursery/garden center......will think of something else. the animals will love you....:)

and speaking of animals, I have got to go now, and take my sweet girl to the vet....

Andrea - - - what a love you are, thank you for your PM!!!!!

see you.

Judy, thanks for the info on lymph stuff...I called someone today and I think I'm going to try to get in next week.

LAURA...GLAD THE LYMPH INFO HELPED. I THINK YOU'LL REALLY BE HELPED BY THE 'MLD'

GET A GOOD GOOD GOOD THERAPIST...THAT'S THE KEY.

LYNNE IS A BIG FAN OF THIS TOO.

SO YOUR GOING TO DO THE ANTIB ???..THAT STARTS WITH 'r' EVEN THO YOU TESTED NEGATIVE ON THE SIBO TEST???

.

GOD --I HAVE THE PILLS RIGHT HERE IN MY DRAWER. NEVER TOOK THEM

I SCORED ONE POINT OVER NORNAL SO ''I DECIDED NOT TO DO IT'

DR TOMORROW WILL PROBABLY WANT ME TO.

I'M TELLING HIM...

I'LL DO THE ENDOSCOPY AND COLONOSCOPY FOR YOU IF YOU DO THE INGENX LYME TEST AND THE CD57 FOR ME...

TIME WILL TELL

JIN..THANKS FOR THE NICE WORDS AND TO THE REST OF YOU

THANKS FOR BEING THERE '''ALWAYS''

I'm almost certain that the allergies were a result of whatever is going on with me. Lyme, mercury, mold, whatever. I'm not nearly as congested as I was before I went gluten/casein free...I think taking some of the burden off my system has helped to keep the allergies in check too.

I'll bet you're right. Being casein free has probably helped a lot with that, too. Are you allergic to dust mites?

15 years!!!! Wow!

Can't wait to see if it helps you. I've heard good things about it. I have a feeling my dr may give it to me regardless of the test result. Just my take on how he spoke about it.

Sorry you are on a cycle of bad days just when you have special plans. Just not fair :angry: Hope it passes soon and you hace a nice time.

How tempting is that! Angus AND a coffee cake :D

It's weird but when I drink the miralax it makes my throat pop.

Are you allergic to dust mites?

Used to be. On my first allergy test 4 years ago, I was allergic to them. When I was retested a year and a half ago, I wasn't.

Rachel, go have a treat. :wub: Don't let one person stop you from posting on other threads. Just let it go ... you've said it all ... just like you said, you don't need the stress.

Oh you poor thing...the miralax did that to me when I was really really constipated. It's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One tea that I used to drink for constiaption was laci LeBeau's Super Dieter's tea:

Here's a link with the ingredients:Open Original Shared Link

It has senna in it which CAN cause problems but it gave me almost immediate relief. Definitely check with your doctor first.

andrea- Hope talitha feels better soon!

Rachel,

Carla beat me to it, but I was just going to say the same thing--or words to that effect ;)

You have to be exhausted--please try and relax and do something nice for youself tonight. Anything to get your mind off the board for a while. :)

Tabasco (is your name Lisa? I am not sure :unsure: ) - - I think the problem was grinding the flax seeds, maybe? their outer husks are very slippery and slimy.....I used them fully intact when I needed a poopy (hi donna!) experience. Like Kramer said....."wet and WILD!!" (I think that was after he had an enema :ph34r::lol: )

Andrea - - what is the latest on Talitha? you know, sometimes I read these pages SO fast, as I am SO far behind, blow me if I just don't dingo all kinds of important information.

And Rachel - - what is up? is it the heinosity of that other thread? I am going to have to venture into that one now, to see what this is all about....which means - - more reading which equals - - more dingo'ing. :huh:

Patti - you would choose Angus and coffee cake over dingos in sunny california? :o:lol:

I am confused over many things on our beloved OMG thread and to clarify things would require going back, many, many pages....I just don't have the stamina.

Your sweet dingos and California sound wonderful. :D And I'd love to meet you in person, too! Gosh--everyone! It would be so nice for us all to be able to meet face to face. :rolleyes:

Yea, I forgot :huh:

What are you confused about, Susie?

jerseyangel Proficient
Used to be. On my first allergy test 4 years ago, I was allergic to them. When I was retested a year and a half ago, I wasn't.

I asked because after I tested highly allergic to them last year, I put protective covers on my mattress and pillows and noticed a difference.

Funny--I used to be highly allergic to cats, and last year was found to be only mildly allergic. I think living with a cat so long de-sensitized me :D

On LN they're talking about a Lyme float ... it's a canoe trip ... we could meet there, it's for Lymies and their families ... we're all family here. ;) Of course, it's only an hour away from my house! LOL Easy for me to suggest. :lol:

jerseyangel Proficient

A Lyme float sounds like a frosty summer drink! :D

Yeah, I picture a Steak and Shake Lime freeze every time I read it ... but I always liked vanilla malts ... stupid barley.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Or we could meet here Open Original Shared Link

It's for Lyme patients and caregivers ... those of you who don't have it or haven't been tested are caregivers. :rolleyes:

DingoGirl Enthusiast
What are you confused about, Susie?

:unsure: oh my gosh, it's all the letters and numbers, I think. When people throw around their number readings, and letters - - see, I'm so confused I can't even remember. :lol: and the "bands" - - that's confusing too......I think that involves letters and numbers. Oh, and the names of the @*$!&*!! germies, all the babs, chlorella (and is that a virus, or a beverage you all drink? :huh: ), and all the other weird names of the evil bugs, and all the treatments, I forget what is for what and who's taking what for what..... :huh: and then this mysterious HERXING...... See, I was gone for a while, and when I came back, and I still do come and go, and there are new things all the time from your brilliant scientifness, and dang if I just can't follow it all. :huh:

but, I'm here to support the lymies, and all others, and just to share the love. :wub:

A Lyme float sounds like a frosty summer drink! :D

:rolleyes: and it sounds YUMMY!!!! lime sherbert with - - whipped cream, soda water, and - - dare I say, vodka, perhaps? ;)

Some days things are moving pretty quickly over here. :blink:

Talitha still hurts but she's doing better, ("a little better" she says). :)

Gosh--everyone! It would be so nice for us all to be able to meet face to face. :rolleyes:

I still would like to do that. Just don't know that we'd ever have the extra money. :(

(raises hand) I KNOW! We print out and send this entire thread to.....let's see......Oprah? Dr. Greene? Lyme Central? Richard Branson? (with Virgin Atlantic) Or - who's the richest man - - is it Warren Buffett? Elisabeth Hasselbeck? is she the wealthiest Celiac we know?

just brainstorming here. :)

      It's great to hear that the trip went well, and the general consensus I hear about gluten-free travel in Europe, including my own experiences, is that it is much easier done in comparison to traveling and eating gluten-free in the USA. 
    • CJF
      Safely home from my recent trip to the UK. I had zero gut issues while traveling around this pretty country. Our tour leader was very good at making sure the 2 of us with gluten issues on our tour were well taken care of.  We often got our meals before the rest of the group and adaptations to the menu for us were well thought out and very tasty. I just wish restaurants here in the USA took as much pride in making food that everyone can enjoy. Many of the hotels and pubs we ate at had numerous options that were safe for us with wheat/gluten restrictions to eat.  
    • Oldturdle
      I am 73 years old and was diagnosed with Celiac disease, and started the gluten free diet 4 years ago.  This past spring,  I experienced sudden onset diarrhea, which was persistent for several weeks, before I had a colonoscopy.  I was told my colon looked normal, but the biopsy showed microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  I was asked at that time if I was still experiencing the diarrhea, and when I said yes, I was prescribed an 8 week course of Budesonide, which included the weaning off phase.  Budesonide is a steroid, but it is allegedly specific for the bowel, and has very few systemic side effects.  I must say, I experienced no side effects, except a couple little spots of persistent psoriasis went away.  I have one week of treatment left, and other than one loose stool very early in treatment, I have had no further bowel issues.  I was told that 80 percent of people go into an extensive, or even permanent, remission after taking Budesonide.  During the colonoscopy, two polyps were removed, and one was precancerous.  I know that colon cancer risks are higher in people with Celiac disease, so it was recommended that I have another coloscopy in five years.      Like your husband, I probably had untreated Celiac disease for years.  It makes one wonder if the chronic irritation and inflammation could lead to the development of microscopic lymphocytic colitis.  This disease is usually diagnosed in people over 50 years old, and occurs approximately in one out of every 1,000 people.        Incidentally, If your husband is prescribed Budesonide, it can be purchased significantly cheaper by using GoodRX.

      Thanks for sharing this! Talk about frustrating! It is complicated enough to try to keep track of which products are safe, but the concept of the same product sold at 2 different stores--one that is certified gluten-free and one that isn't--that is exactly why having celiac disease is still so difficult, and it is so easy to make mistakes!
