I want to take up kickboxing and write words like leaky gut, gluten, corn, dairy, celiac, immune system, hives, allergies, grains, and so on all over the punching bag and then beat the H E L L out of it.

Anyone want to join me??

:lol::lol:

juliem-

I don't know if its those words I'de want to beat up for me it would be all the doctors who misdiagnosed me for so long and put me on all the meds that I know made me worse!!!

Miamia

WOAH

I must have missed this! :o

60 years!! That is so impressive. Congrats to you Evie.....and your hubby too! :D

Rachel-

Ooooh....I got some other words I'd like to put on my bag....random words that have nothing to do with illness. :ph34r:

miamia Rookie
Cissie maybe you just need to reload your page like Patti said.

Don't get too excited, it's not like you missed anything great :lol:

Julie, Celia and Rachel--Thanks for your input! I'm drinking nothing but the Poland Spring like I did back at the beginning of all this and see if it makes a difference that will last. I've been going out of my mind trying to figure out why I keep getting sick. I've been joking that pretty soon I'll be down to a vitamin pill and water! (and now the water is suspect :lol: ) Thanks for being there guys! :)

Celia--are you going to try the theory out too?

Awesome!

I hope you do well!! We can share our successes. See I'm being optimistic for both of us. ;)

Did the guy say anything different about the Keto than what I posted previously...or just basically the same? Did he tell you any success stories? I wanna hear it all. :P

Rachel--24 Collaborator

LOL....Jersey you can put the word "water" all over your punching bag!

:lol::lol:

jerseyangel Proficient
No problem... I just dumped out the glass of water I was drinking just a few minutes ago.... no more crap water for me... just the good stuff :D

You go girl! I always get excited when I think I've figured out another piece of the puzzle. Hope it's helpful for us both! ;) We seem to have a lot of stuff in common :P

Grrrrr......what I wouldn't do for rain (I am a freak and love rain and fog, now why did I leave Monterey again?) It's the high one-hundred-and-TENS here after weeks of.......high nineties and ONE HUNDREDS......I am bloody sick of it and just have to pray like heck we don't have a brownout, as we did last month :blink:

Susan....nooooo..."rain rain go away".... Do you know that song? I soooo love the heat. Rain sometimes makes me sad. Unless I have someone to cuddle with and I could drink hot cocoa with marshmallows. But I dont...and I cant.....soooo rain rain go away. :P

Rachel-

he told me alot of the same stuff. But he did say healing time is different for everyone- in some cases people with worse damage healed faster than people with less. He was just so nice we started talking about the things we like to cook ansd the dangers of eating out. He was just really personable- and so confident it would owrk- it was very contagious I got off the phone with him thinking of course this is the answer.

Yeah....he is very personable and so up to date on all this stuff. I could have talked to him for a long time...well I did...but I could have just kept talking all day. I felt great after we hung up. Thats why I wish I could call him everyday that I feel bad....his words were just so reassuring.

Rachel-

Yeah calling him on bad days would be a good idea- yesturday I had a terrible day!!! bad brain fog really bad pain- what I call "candida bloat" And after I talked to him I was happy despite all of this. He told me to call him in one or two weeks to let him know how I react, but maybe I'll call him just to cheer me up on bad days- thats a good idea!!!

Hang in there Susan. I know it's hard but each day gets better and each day we get stronger. :)

We are here to celebrate and comfort...don't worry about crashing the party...it won't happen.

allergic to water...holy cow....glad you figured it out and you're feeling better, Patti!

Patti and Celia,

Aquafina is good brand. I watched a show a few years back that tested the bottled water. There were only 3 or 4 that were good. I had to email the person who hostess of the show and ask her if she remembered which ones they were. She remembered aquafina because it is what she drinks. She said a lot of the expensive waters were worse than aquafina.

Yes, it's filtered. There's a filter right in the fridge. I changed it when the indicator light came on. Don't think it's CC. Maybe you would know this Vincent--I think those filters have charcoal in them--there wouldn't be wheat in that like there is in cooking charcoal--would there?

Gosh, its possible, and heck it might explain why on days my son gets more water his stools are much looser and more often then on days that he dont. I better look in to this too. :(

What do you all think? Am I grasping at straws?

evie Rookie

[Celia--I know what you mean.

I was doing fine. About that time, we bought a new refrigerator with filtered water thru the door. Before that, I had been drinking only Poland Spring water. I don't know if it was a coincidance, but that is about when my symptoms came back and I began the elimination diets.

What do you all think? Am I grasping at straws?

AndreaB Contributor

Miamia,

Keep us posted as to how the med works for you.

You and Rachel be sure to let that super nice guy get some work done. :P That kind of personal attention is sure nice though isn't it. :D

Vincent-we had a short discussion about water on the thread for Megan/TCA/Tanya- Zack, my youngest, has had a problem with water with chlorine or fluoride all his life. There were a number of interesting posts on that thread from others regarding water. It is scary some of the things we ingest unknowingly. btw--great news about the adoption. I wish I could adopt, but at 45, I don't think it is something I can do. Hubby is 57, so I think we are just going to wait for grandkids.

Who was it, evie? 60 YEARS!!! THAT ANNIVERSARY IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

All of you are so gorgeous, I will probably put up a picture of my dog for my avatar if I ever figure out how to do it!!!!!

Thank you guys for the info on quinoa--I still am having some serious bouts of D periodically and was thinking of trying quinoa-so thanks for saving me from THAT misery.

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that. Rachel, I have had 5 laparascopy (sp?) surgeries and they are not fun, but they are about the only way to really know what is what with the ovaries. I hope you don't have to have one, but you are under anesthetic for the procedure. They cut in the belly button so the scars are pretty invisible.

Susan....nooooo..."rain rain go away".... Do you know that song? I soooo love the heat. Rain sometimes makes me sad. Unless I have someone to cuddle with and I could drink hot cocoa with marshmallows. But I dont...and I cant.....soooo rain rain go away. :P

I totally get what you're talking about Rachel.....that is the best thing of all to do on a rainy day! I love rain any time, EXCEPT when the dogs get cabin fever and need a walk - -

And it would be SO nice to have a cool rain right about now..... :( If you like heat, just head on down to the good ol' Central Valley right now - - but I don't know if you'd like it so much!

I don't think I should post any more this evening.....somehow I've been glutened, and I can't figure it out, the only NEW thing yesterday was Arborio rice but not a new package - - might have had anti-caking something-or-other....but, when my thinking becomes this dark, something is definitely wrong, and I think I will call it a day and just head to bed with my book.

Rachel, I keep picturing your jumping intestines.....wouldn't you be able to FEEL them if they were doing that? I mean, sounds like that would produce intense cramping, and I can't remember if you were feeling the cramping during the exam or not - I know there was intense pain when she pressed on your ovary area - -

DO YOU THINK THERE"S AN ALIEN IN THERE??

;););) and please note - - not making light of your situation - - just a little levity here, that's all. Can't imagine how frustrated you must be with all of this and what your little body is continually going through. Adding you to my prayers before bed.

Miamia

Um, who is this guy that y ou're calling - what page is he on - I want to call him too and feel better.... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I heard the Europeans say they would NEVER drink the disgusting tap water. Hmmm. gfp, are you on? You live in France...Any comments?

We will need to PM him - - - this thread is just a little intimidating and long to jump in the middle of :blink: esp. for a guy as it's such an estrogen-fest!

Good thing we have Picard and Vincent - - am I missing anybody else??

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

THANK YOU for that Robbin, so precious...and BTW 45 is not too old to adopt! Neither is 57! But...I will add to that prayer and say may we ALL have the peace, joy and love we so richly deserve...

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that.

I ordered some from Gluten Free Oats, two pounds for about $16, and am ecstatic to report, NO problems at all, might you consider trying that? I really missed my oats and am so relieved.

Dang, this thing about the water is starting to concern me ....have had D for the last three or four days, not normal for me as I am very careful, and I MIX tap water with bottled.....I never thought of this! Must thank all of you for the thoughtful and varied posts on here - - we learn so much, don't we?

G'night John-Boy....'night Mary Ellen......'night Ma.....

Good night and sweet dreams to all of you.

:)

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.
    • Scott Adams
      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
