Riceguy, haven't I read on your posts that you are still trying to come to the bottom of your health concerns?

Well, like I said, I do believe I found the culprit. I'm still recovering though, so maybe that's what you had read. It seems to be taking some time for the toxins to clear out. I can understand that since I was doing so badly for so long. I can feel the improvement day by day.

Thanks for the idea of adrenal fatigue though. I will look it up and see if it applies, but I can certainly say I didn't react well to meat even a number of years ago. So if adrenal fatigue is an issue, then I'd guess it would had to have been with me a long time.

For anyone looking to increase protein intake, but cautious about meats, try T'eff. It has more protein than many other grains. Low in fat too, if that's a requirement. I think Flax might actually have even more protein than Teff, plus the omega-3 is really good. Thing is, I doubt Flax makes a good cereal. It's usually just sprinkled on food or into recipes. Millet ain't bad either, and it's very digestible and well tolerated by most people with allergies to other things.

No I know not everyone beleives in santa

Phased?

Certainly, the shoe elves are usually very reliable. I don't know what they have done with my shoes and the underpants gnomes have stolen my pants.... of course I'm phased!

You know the little guys who come i the night and steal your underware.

Its usually odd socks but sometimes other stuff gopes missing only to turn up hidden in a comforter cover or something later...

Don't you have them in America?

To check you need a packet of lucky charms and dig a big hole .. in the morning you can pull out assorted eleves, gnomes and fairies. If you live near an airport you can get leprechauns as well who stow away in the wheel arches of Air Lingus jets!

It might be. I much prefer a physics model as a means of explanation. For instance, one might suppose that the temperature inversion combined with the angular momentum of the rotating drum sets up a sympathetic resonance on a hyperdimensional level. As electrical discharges (from static electricity) occur in this region, a rift opens, quickly forming into a vortex due to the rotation. This is what physicists call a "worm hole", which is essentially a portal into a another part of the universe, or even another dimension. Granted, this can only be theory until someone devises a method to test it.

Or it could just be that your missing sock is stuck inside another article of clothing, or still clinging to the inner surface of the washer.

That's how the underpants gnomes travel here from their dimension!

Luckily I sell a special antiwormhole device I can sell for only $200 that prevents this....

send all money to ascammer@scam.net quickly before you loose out.

Only limited socks left.. I mean stocks left.

Is it just me or is this getting silly :D

With six kids, we lose more socks than I buy, and no I have not figured out how that happens ... but I know I can keep my kids in socks for a long time for $200!! I bet you don't sell many of those!!

Did you ever see Amelia, hmm, that's not right, I don't think, but it was a French movie and the yard gnome traveled the world? Great flick, even though I had to rely on subtitles.

Come on guys, we're all old enough to know how to handle the sock monsters. I'm in Ireland so its mostly leprecuans here.

A usefull fact is that most leprecuans are celiac, so just leave em a bowl of cookies and they wont bother you again. Otherwise your only hope is the gnome trap with lucky charms as previously described.

However the lucky charms will also attract toothfairies. If the fairies are left trapped with the gnomes overnight, well . . . in the morning it ain't pretty.

Really the best way is to keep your socks in a timed safe. Only set it to unlock once a day.

Sock Problem

when I was 16 I dated this fella I liked alot. I also used to use the dryer to iron my clothes...you know about 5 minutes of tumbling the wrinkles are gone.

Well we went ... movies and food and sat in his car after date, just talking. Anyway, all of a sudden during our date I feel something scratching my back....I place my hand by my collar in back and like a magician I pull a white sports sock out of my blouse! I was so embarassed .....

When I was in kindergarten I found one of my dad's socks in my sleeve. I was so embarassed and didn't want to answer questions about why I had a man's sock that I left it there all day!!!

Did you ever get another date with him?

These stories are hilarious. :) It reminds me of a time I was taking karate class and I did a kick and a pair of underwear that had been caught in the pants in the dryer, came flying out the end of the pant leg. :P

Ooh, Nancy, there's no topping that! :D I did walk around with a pair of undies in a sweater sleeve for several days once, but luckily (this was in high school...) I was alone when I discovered tham. phew! :P

another date? no. As teenaged romances go, it was over before it began. I don't know if he even saw the sock as it was dark...I don't think we had another date after that one.....I occasionally do still speak with him and he never married or held a long-term relationship. He's a loner - artistic type.

      No, I've not been diagnosed as celiac. Despite Entero Labs being relocated to Switzerland/Greece, I'll be doing another test. After eating wheat products in Greece for 4 weeks, there wasn't any reaction. However, avoiding it here in the states. Thanks everyone for your responses.

      Oral thrush question

      Hi Everyone, I do appreciate your replies to my original post. Here is where I am now in this journey. I am currently seeing a Naturopath. One thing I did not post before is that I take Esomeprazole for GERD. My Naturopath believes that the decrease in the gastric acid has allowed the yeast to grow. She has put me on some digestive enzymes...

What kind of celiac disease testing have you had done? If you have used a Entero Labs it sounds like you have had stool testing done for celiac disease which is not widely accepted as a valid celiac disease diagnostic testing method. Have you had blood antibody testing for celiac disease done and do you realize that for antibody testing to be valid you must have been eating generous amounts of gluten for a period of weeks/months?

      Thank you @JulieRe so much for sharing this extra information. I'm so glad to hear you're feeling better and I hope it keeps moving in that direction. I feel I'm having so many lightbulb moments on this forum just interacting with others who have this condition. I also was diagnosed with gastric reflux maybe about 10 years ago. I was prescribed ranitidine for it several years back, which was working to reduce my gastric reflux symptoms but then the FDA took ranitidine off the shelves so I stopped taking it. I had a lot of ups and downs healthwise in and around that time (I suddenly gained 20 pounds, blood pressure went up, depression got worse, and I was diagnosed with OSA). At the time I attributed my change in symptoms to me taking on a new stressful job and didn't think much else about it. They did give me a replacement gastric reflux drug since ranitidine was off the shelves, but when I went on the CPAP for my OSA, the CPAP seemed to correct the gastric reflux problem so I haven't been on any gastric reflux drug treatment for years although I still do have to use a CPAP for my OSA. Anyway that's a long story but just to say… I always feel like I've had a sensitive stomach and had migraines my whole life (which I'm now attributing to having celiac and not knowing it) but I feel my health took a turn for much worse around 2019-2020 (and this decline started before I caught covid for the first time). So I am now wondering based on what you said, if that ranitidine i took could have contributed to the yeast overgrowth, and that the problem has just been worsening ever since. I have distinctly felt that I am dealing with something more than just stress and battling a more fundamental disease process here. I've basically been in and out of different doctor specialties for the past 5 years trying to figure out what's wrong with me. Finally being diagnosed with celiac one year ago, I thought I finally had THE answer but now as I'm still sick, I think it's one of a few answers and that maybe yeast overgrowth is another answer. For me as well, my vitamin deficiencies have persisted even after I went gluten-free (and my TTG antibody levels came down to measurably below the detectable limit on my last blood test). So this issue of not absorbing vitamins well is also something our cases have in common. I'm now working with a nutritionist and taking lots of vitamins and supplements to try and remedy that issue. I hope that you continue to see improvements in working with your naturopath on this. Keep us posted!

      Patiently Waiting to See Results

      By catsrlife · Posted

      Back at the end of July I got this rash on both of my forearms. It started on my right and continued to the left. It was on the top and side. The rash has bumps that would pop with clear liquid if scratched. They would almost crystalize and scab up. They reminded me of chicken pox. They would scab for weeks and not heal much at all except for the blood clotting. If the scab was scratched off, it would bleed and bleed until it scabbed up again. The skin has lost its pigment where the scabs are. I figured it was probably either the plant I had trimmed around the 15th or some reaction to the magnesium complex I was taking or an allergic reaction to the asthma meds I was on. I stopped the asthma meds and the magnesium. The rash seemed to get better but when I took the asthma meds it flared up again so I went to the urgent care as my doctor was unavailable. The UC doctor said it probably wasn't the meds and asked about my diet. I said I was strict keto. I usually am, but there is a story around this. I feel amazing on keto. When I eat sugar, wheat, and starchy veggies I feel horrible. Blood sugar goes up, IBS type symptoms, brain fog, etc. But I have a horrible addiction to carbs so I blow it sometimes and after Mom died in 2023, I fell off the wagon. No rashes, just weight gain. I finally went back on keto and then around that time had a piece of pizza (or so, it's hard to stop the carb rush.) So I was strict keto, off and on. She ignored that and prescribed some allergy meds. It didn't go away.  What was happening by then was that the rash was now on my upper elbows, both of them, on the back of my arms. It starts with a very itchy bump, spreads around it and sometimes just burns like crazy and other times just itches. Then it started on the sides of my knees on the oustide, a little bit down the sides of the calves. It's not as bad there as it is on my arms even though it comes and goes (and so does wheat in my diet.) I then got three tiny blisters on each hand, 3 on the insdie of my index finger on the right hand and 3 on the inside of middle finger of my left hand. There is still a little scab there even though it was two weeks ago. No more have appeared on the fingers. But right now the back of the arms above my elbows are starting to itch. At some point I started to think mites from the possum that was sneaking into our house but it's been 3 months and they would be dead already. It wouldn't be from humans because I don't go near any humans although I did take an Uber to the doctor and the bus back. Plus, it's symmetrical. It starts on one side and is almost identical on the other.  I did my DNA with Ancestry and MyHeritage. I don't have the HLA-DQ2 or HLA-DQ8. I do have HLA-DQ2.2. I took the blood test but it was negative. Then again, I don't eat wheat every day. I rarely eat it except for lately when I've been preparing for the blood test if I have to take it again. I don't like to. It makes my joints hurt, gives me brain fog, stomach problems, I sleep in the middle of the day, etc. I have a doctor appointment tomorrow. I hope that she will be more serious about this than the UC doctor was.  So I have no idea. With my luck they'll magically disappear before the doctor appointment. That's what happens with everything.

I have the following symptoms : facial flushing, Red dots not bumps în face, bloating abdominal distension, hair loss, depression anxiety even with meds and even bipolar. Fatigue extreme to the point of not being able to work. All of these after I eat gluten. Could I have non celiac gluten sensitivity? Thanks anyone else with these symptoms?
