Isonic - THANK YOU! I am normally not online but I just had to see if anyone responded with any helpful info on what is happening to me at the dentist. I googled for a biodentist in my area and there is one lone soul less than 20 miles from me. I have e-mailed their office and will call them tomorrow. He was a 'regular' dentist until he did a study about mercury poisoning many years ago, since then he practices biodentistry. I had read about this before but I sort of thought it was too 'out there' as each dentist I asked over the years to take out my silver fillings always said there is no reason until they fail. Until I was dx'd with Celiac I never knew that many doctors (of all kinds) in the US are not really practicing medicine but handing out rx's left and right, never trying to help find out what the real problem is for their patients. Therefore, I never thought to question what they told me - ever. Now I question pretty much everything they say.

So from the bottom of my heart I say thank you. Last year I had another silver filling removed and a crown put in. There were no complications. However, lately I've been having sensation on that tooth that I thought must be in my head of transferrence from the other tooth since the root canal was supposedly successful. I had not idea the metal on the bottom of the crown may be harming me. Hence this could explain the sensation I'm having now. In any case, at least I have a starting point to hopefully getting some real help now. I did read the studies about mercruy poisoning and I only wish I'd know this years ago. I've had 4 silver fillings in my mouth for over 30 years. Thanks again!

No problem - glad to help. I'm happy if only one person can be saved the misery I experienced over years being progressively poisoned, while doctors and dentists told me I needed hypnotherapy and anti-depressants (a sure indication that not only were they unresponsive to my descriptions of symptoms but they couldn't help me).

Take care and all the best.

Well my root canal is finally complete. It required a permanent metal rod which I've never heard of but they assure me it's normal. I meet the holistic dentist later this week so we'll see what he thinks. Then one of the two will do my crown. I bought myself a month to figure out who I want to do it.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      You have an odd story there. To me, the mechanical trigger suggests a mechanical problem and lower leg pain is a classic sciatica symptom. The fact that the clear mechanical linkage is no longer there does not take away from the fact that it was - maybe something shifted and the simple alignment is no longer there. There's also a good chance I am wrong and it's something else entirely. @Scott Adams's mention of shingles is interesting. It seems possible but unlikely to me, but who knows. However, I am writing here to reinforce the idea of getting the shingles vaccine. Ask anyone who has ever had shingles and they will bend your ear telling you how bad it is. I watched my wife go through it and it scared the bejeebers out of me. Even if you had the chicken pox vaccine, you really want to get the shingles vaccine.

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By HectorConvector · Posted

      Oddly this effect has gone now, just happened yesterday evening, the nerve pain is now back to its usual "unpredictable" random self again - but that was the only time I ever had some mechanical trigger for it, don't know why! There's no (or wasn't) actual pain in my neck - it was inside the leg, but when I looked down, now though, the leg pain just comes and goes randomly as before again.
