Tavi--have you cried yet? If so did it help?? Gosh, I can so relate and am sorry. Guess it's the price we pay as Mom's for helping to give our kids wings...hugs.

Judy

No, not yet. I know it's a good thing that she is off on her own and time for that. It's just so far away. I was thinking that when we moved in here there were 5 of us and now there is one. It's just really weird. I told my oldest daughter that now she will be like an only child, just what she always wanted. She never really forgave me for bringing the other 2 home from the hospital :lol::lol::lol:

Anyway, life moves on and I suppose this is what the empty nest thing is all about. It's just so strange, never imagined they would grow up. I had 3 in 3 years and remember thinking I would never get any sleep again, go to the bathroom by myself, not refree fights etc. and now it's just over, in a blink in the eye. I could sleep all day if I wanted, only I can't sleep. Ok Judy, here comes the tears :huh:

OH morgan that sounds like such fun.

Judy- i was up until 330am. I couldnt sleep. I had to take extra meds to help me sleep. I feel like a zombie today.

I got glutened last nite too. That maybe why I couldnt sleep. I used a plastic cutting board that used to be used for gluten sandwiches. The board hadnt been used in forever, and I put it in the dishwasher and thought it would be safe. I knew as I was using it it wasnt a good idea, but I did it anyway. Kinda asked for the glutening. phooey.

Chelsea- I am sorry that you didnt get a positve on your test.

Thanks for all the compliments on my avatar. I never get tired of hearing how cute my son is!

Hi All

Promised myself i'd be off here and outside at 12:00 but Tavi...had to post to esp.

:( sorry your crying now but hope you'll feel better afterwards.

Just had a call from CA from son and had another 'honest' conversation.

I'm in tears now too. I miss him so much and he misses us and can't afford to move from there. Says Hollywood is just too phony for him ...

It was a hard phone call so going to go out INTO THE SUNSHINE AND DIG IN THE DIRT.

THANK GOD HE GAVE US DIRT ..DON'T KNOW WHAT I'D DO W/O IT.

PM ME IF YOU NEED.

LOVE tAVI

AND TO ALL THE REST ON BOARD..BIGS HUGS WILL TRY TO WRITE LATER.

Hi everyone! :)

Molly, that sounds really fun! I hope you guys win it all! :D

What do you mean you have no class spirit?? It sounds to me like you have alot of spirit. You get involved in everything...schoolwork, camp, airbands, the Stanford Celiac conference. It seems to me like you have TONS of spirit....I can tell just by excited you sound in your posts. :D

Tavi....I know I couldnt have held back tears as long as you've managed. I'd be dragging out picture albums...all kinds of stuff to torture myself. Even though I dont have kids I know I would do this...I do it when all of my relationships ended. You'll feel alot better afterwards...I promise. :)

Morgan, How cool that you're having so much fun! Wont you be needing tennis shoes for raquetball though?? :P

Stephanie,

Yup...you're boy is such a cutie!

I'm gonna try to go to bed around 4pm today. I hope I'll be able to fall asleep that early. :unsure:

I wanna go into work at about 1am. I'm excited about my doctor appt...nervous too. I'm going to a doctor who specializes in mercury toxicity tomorrow morning. My doctors think I might have this and I've always felt I do so maybe I'll finally get answers. :)

Judy,

I've been posting about this on the OMG thread. I'm gonna post about my appt. sometime tomorrow. The drs. I had been seeing came to the conclusion that based on process of elimination, circumstances and timing of onset of symptoms and symptoms being consistent with that of mercury toxcity....that I should see a specialist who treats this. They're sending me to this new Dr....who I'll see tomorrow.

Remember me talking about this way back? I really feel its whats made me sick but no doctor would acknowlege it or help me. The Dr.'s at the clinic werent willing to consider it either but now they've come full circle and set me up with this Dr. We'll see what happens.

Thanks Rachel

I do remember this.

Is this from teeth fillings?

Were you the one who had all the trouble after root canals..?

Thought it was you and I too had 1 root/c and 2 teeth pulled before dx.

Hoping for some answers.

Hugs

Judy

No....my troubles stared when they put gold crowns above amalgam fillings. It caused "galvanic reaction"....supposedly this would leech large amounts of mercury out of the fillings. I had a root canal later on due to major pain and non-stop problems since they put the crowns in. Even after the root canal I was still having major pain in the "dead" tooth. They ended up pulling the tooth and the pain stopped.

They did this to me too and I've had those pulled.

Is the mercury still in our systems??? :o:blink::huh: Holy Crap!

NOOOO....please dont let summer end. I never even got to wear my new summer dresses. :(

I have to admit though...I do like the season changes. Not so much the drop in temp. but I like the *feel* of fall and winter....the holidays and the "cozyness" of it all. :)

I've been on vacation for a while, so I missed some

Tavi, sorry you're feeling down about your situation.

Penguin, Happy for your weight loss news for you.

Judy, always glad to see you around. You're always such an "upward motivating" person to us. I wish I could have your cheeriness.

Chelsea: hope you are feeling better

Rachel, Carla: send some warmer weather our way!

To all I missed here, Hi! Hope all is well.

I've heard about mercury fillings being dangerous to your health. I don't know if I ever got any in my life....I'm sure I have but I have had "re-fills" over the past 10 years and I don't think the new stuff is mercury-based.

Let's demand that Summer not end!

I hate change, especially bad change. Our local ACME is closing after 30 years; this is bad for us because my husband was able to walk there (less than a block away) while I had the car at work.

The change will mean that we will have to do food shopping when I get home from work or weekends.....we are down about this new development.

Our choices now are: go into hock to buy a second car? or move to a more expensive apartment, but is close to many different stores and could be a good decision in the long run? Which is best?

Well gotta run & get ready for work.

wow, I really am buried with work, a toddler and my refereeing, not enough day light. :angry:

In any event, I hope all is well. I posted awhile back that my dad was geting some surgery. For those interested it went well.

I am starting to get nervous about these restrictive diets and breath tests. I think someone else mentioned they were going for them -MiaMia?

I wound up experiencing the same upper abdominal pain I had that first started this whole ball of wax. But it passed, I will be happy to get a diagnosis or something. :lol:

As for those lamenting about winter, I am sitting in my office at 6 pm and it is already getting dark out. The high today was around 71. This weekend will be nice, but old man winter is coming back , However, NOAA insists the NE will have a mild winter. I can only hope.

Everyone take care.

I know it's hard....but you need to take some time for rest and relaxation. :)

Glad to hear about your Dad. When do you have your tests. Isn't that next month?

      Diagnosed celiac for 1-2 months ago and everything makes me bloated.

      By Beverage · Posted

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Protein or fat?

      By Jsingh · Posted

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      High Cost of Gluten-Free Foods

      By Chanda Richard · Posted

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Frequent nausea after gluten-free diet

      By petitojou · Posted

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
