you would NOT like to be me then!

I have blood tests to monitor my thyroid every week at least cause my thyroid gets thrown off by such a little thing and makes me horibbly sick. So i am used to blood tests esp. cause it usually takes them about 5 pokes before they get my vein.

Who thinks the IV is hard? I didn't feel anything more than when they take blood....just a little pinch and that was it!

I was more afraid of having an IV than being in labor...honest to God! No one can ever find my veins and my hand or arm is always swollen and killing me before, during and after. It usually takes a few sticks and different nurses b/f they can run the IV...yuck! I'm making a face just thingking about it! :o

They never have trouble finding my vein, it's very obvious. They don't have trouble getting it either, but for some reason, I still get huge bruises.

Oh dear, the worst part for me wasn't the taste, it was the endless drinking and feeling like if I took another sip I'd throw it all up. No wait, the worst part was being up all night pooping. No wait.... the worst part was the time I didn't wake up in time.

I had mine done today. Thank god it is over. I was so worried about gagging. They sprayed the stuff in my throat, and I was pretty much out of it for that. The colonoscopy, though, I was awake for most of it. I watched it on the screen. It was a tad uncomfortable, but I was relieved at how smoothly it went. I did not want to be awake at all, but I was. However, I still go to the bathroom alot...

The doctor didn't talk to me cuz she another procedure she was in went over. I was told everything looked normal but I will get the biopsies back in 10 to 14 days. Any chance if everything looks normal that the biopsies could still show damage?

The damage can be microscopic.

Both my biosies and my blood tests were negative, but I went to Enterolab, whose testing is more sensitive, and got positive results.

Glad you got it over with!

      Both homemade vinegar and fermented pickles have wonderful flavors of herbs, spices and tartness. However, fermented pickles contain healthy probiotics whereas vinegar pickles do not! https://cleanfoodliving.net/fermented-pickles/

      Barilla gluten free pasta

      @Colleen H, How are you doing? I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them. Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten. So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn. I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together. ...

      Curious question

      I APPRECIATE you validating everything because this is a nightmare and the only reason why im fighting is because I don't want future generations to deal with this bs and medical should take responsibility for their lack of actions. Autoimmune disorder aka " food allergies " should be a mandated reportable disease for the safety of the patients.

      @Colleen H, How are you doing?  I hope you're improving. Yes, I react to gluten free products with corn in them.  Segments of the protein in corn are the same as protein segments in gluten.  So I react as though I've eaten gluten if I eat anything with corn.   I take a combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 together.  These act as a pain reliever as good as any over the counter pain reliever.  They won't hurt the stomach like aspirin or acetaminophen.   Thiamine will help nausea, anxiety, constipation, and headache.  Pyridoxine B6 and B12 will help with the pins and needles.  Magnesium helps work with thiamine to relieve symptoms. I also take a B Complex to boost absorption not absorbed from foods.  Niacin B3 helps with the anxiety, too.   Best wishes.

      What would you do - neighbor brought gluten-free pizza from Papa Murphy's

      By RMJ · Posted

      I would not eat it. Some people are more sensitive to small amounts of gluten than others. Until you know how sensitive you are It is probably best to be extra careful. Is this a crustless pizza?  I looked on the Papa Murphy website, clicked on nutrition and filtered by “avoid gluten”. The only pizzas that it said were gluten free were crustless slices.
