Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Feel better, Amanda :)

Best I don't ever taste the North American PB (I'm sure it would be like Angels copulating on the tongue) unless I get a tapeworm :lol:

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*nervous laugh* ...ahem........

*sigh* BEV -----I 've told you before I'm not prepared to put up with your flatulance (GAD!! That room would be one BIG Dutch Oven :rolleyes: )

...Short word on PB.... :blink: ...tis ok on toast..but can't go mad about it....maybe yours is different to mine

:lol: dutch oven

Yes on Cava and peanut butter.....no on marmite...... :P

Oh Nicola - no good pb? so.....I'll send wer-ste-shire to Emily and peanut butter to Nik -

Susie, this is one horror movie-type setting. I could just hear the swelling music as you set foot outside, into this thick silence. You are so un-stepfordish...how on earth do you manage there?!

Indeed, how DO I manage........*sigh* Well, I think I manage because it's just about the cutest and coziest NEW house (I prefer old) imaginable. So...I just lay low here, pray that there are no pop-ins, and keep my pot and pan banging restricted to the midnight hour :P

Do you think these people are really serious!? I felt so much better when I got rid of mine ... the color came back in my face even .... I don't look so gaunt ... I think two of the pounds were in my cheeks, the other three are in my other cheeks. :P

:o:o

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Yes - I, too, want one - just don't want to know about it, think about it, or see it.....

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

Amanda! Go snuggle in bed wtih Lucky, and feel better soon!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

*snort*

I know - we are mad!!!!!!!!!! :lol:

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

:huh:

It was foggy - and the fog throws a thick, viscous blanket of muffled stillness over everything it touches, so I was practically SMACKED with the drear quiet when I walked out front.

I waited......waited........nothing. :huh:

Pure silence.

Lights out, everywhere.

So finally........maybe at about 12:01, a full 60 seconds into the New Year, I just started banging things into the black, shrouded stillness of the Stepford night, a screeching, jarring cacophony into the sterile and controlled environs of this Ridiculous White Enclave.............

Susie, I would love to read those reports that you type for the prisoners . . . you are allowed a bit of poetic license, aren't you?

Check out www.tapewormdiet.net.

All of you wishing for a tapeworm . . . you did check out Carla's website, right? You want to make sure you get a safe tapeworm. And did you read the caption on one of the photos . . . that particular slaughterhouse was too clean . . . only a 1% infection rate. You'll need to find a nasty slaughterhouse.

CarlaB Enthusiast

Amanda, hope you feel well, soon!

Actually, I am certain that tapeworms are NOT a funny thing to have, and I did hesitate to make a joke of them...(but then went ahead... :rolleyes:<_< ). I cannot imagine a large worm residing in my body, and knowing that it's there, and waiting for the treatment to take affect. Gahhh....very un-Silly...!

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Oh, no, I do still think it's funny! And, I didn't know I had it when I started taking the herbs, it was quite the shock when I saw it! Very, very shocking!

In fact, after I got rid of it I said, "Boy, that was stupid, if I knew I had a tapeworm, I most certainly would have waited until after the holidays to get rid of it!" :lol:

OMG - is she SERIOUS? Carla - I thought you were kidding - did you really have a tapeworm?

Oh, yes, quite serious .... I guess it explains my inability to gain weight when I have a low thyroid! Just be sure you eat your steaks cooked .... I tended to like mine on the rare side .... bad idea.

Bye Sillies,

Sickness has taken its toll and I am going home for the rest of the day.

The man flu cometh, creeping across the Atlantic with stealth and speed....BEWARE!!!!!

My sympathies Amanda :( ....I feel really rough today (terrible cough) and look EVEN worse.

Lucky for me my eldest son works for a pharmaceutical company and gets non prescription drugs dirt cheap....so phoned him with my order of cough syrups, lemsip (cold powders) and paracetomol

Like Milton's revered "Darkness visible"...

You wax poetic, Nikki!! <_<:D

I did :blink: ...... :lol:

So, Nikki, are you a marmite eater? It is available here, but expensive and not very popular. I saw it everywhere over there. Quite salty...seems like spreadable yeast... :huh:

*standing up*....I AM a Marmite eater and PROUD!!!!!!!!!! (Tis gluten-free too)

Dear god, an aquired taste indeed - Love it or Hate it - Mums in the UK were encouraged to wean their babies onto Marmite and toast in the 70's as the marmite has high levels of B vitamins - LOVED it ever since :D

The Aussies have something similar called 'Vegemite'....not quite as potent

Yeah, I think upon reflection that I'd take the extra ten...

Is that sober reflection Emily??? :P

..but yes, take the extra ten (maybe 15...well :unsure: ...20) we SHALL!!!

Oh my Gawd! Where but here would you get to read a sentence like that? :lol:

I LOVE IT!!!!!!!

OMG - someone needs to come live with me and take away the sugar products....I am slightly out-of-control..........

I am SO not the person for this job as unfortunately if I lived with you it would rapidly descend into a somewhat drunken, squalid, obese affair ;)

Only in Sillyville would we read about one of us out banging pots and pans in the wee hours, alone in a Stepford community, and think of it as simply quaint, perhaps a bit quirky... :lol::lol:

Well....perhaps if I didn't KNOW about it....

It appears that Lisa has come and got her "fix". . . and left us a little video. Now doesn't that make the whole thing look more . . . um . . . glamoUrous? Is this where ALL the celebrities get their tapeworms?

I have my Carla & Janet av up . . . just to show you I've got one, too. I think Carla's pic is better . . . hmmm, I think her hubby is showing preferential treatment. I'm not going to leave it up too long. People will start asking me about my Lyme disease and tapeworm and instead of telling them I'm not Carla, I'm likely to just make stuff up.

Jestgar Rising Star

As a random bit of info, there are groups investigating whether infecting someone that has IBS/IBD/Crohn's with intestinal parasites could convince the gut to convert from the autoimmune response (that's causing symptoms) to a parasitic response.

Wonder how many 'normal' volunteers they get for those studies... <insert green guy emoticon>

~alex~ Explorer

Ick, tapeworms. I think I would have to be sedated if I knew I had worms in me. Nothing quite gets to me like the thought of parasites. In grade 2 my best friend had lice and I made my parents check my hair like every hour and washed my hair with Nix even though I had been assured that I didn't have lice. Creatures living on and or in a human just makes my skin crawl.

I could use some creative input if anyone is so inclined. This morning I was putting away the couple of ceramic Christmas houses that I have and horror of horrors I tripped and dropped the house that my mom had made about 20 years ago. After many tears and cheering up from my fiance, I am determined to make something special with the pieces of ceramic. Any ideas?

Maybe they pay big?

CarlaB Enthusiast

Alex, sorry about the house .... sorry, no ideas. Are they flat pieces? What about a mosaic?

Every time I saw a piece of the tapeworm I felt nauseous for a couple hours. It was gross. I actually think I need to do another treatment, but the product I use wants you to take a 90 day break between 30 day treatments so you don't build resistance.

Sorry that happened :(

I do have an idea--make a picture frame ("tile" an inexpensive, wide frame randomly with the broken pieces) and put a nice picture of your mom in it :)

OMG - have to go to camera store soon - - will claim that I don't know from whence camera was purchased (costco, december 2006)....my goal is to fix up, look as cute-ish as possible, and then gently flirt - - see if one a' them camera guys can see what's wrong...........

ALEX!!!!!!! :( I am so sorry about yoru broken ceramics. What a heartbreak.

Just google McKenzie Childs (Nik will know!) and look at what they do with their broken pottery. Seems to me the large picture frames were nice......good gawd, there's SO much you can do.......I've got tons of ideas and have done TONS of things........

Patti!!!! I swear!!! Look at my response!!! I did a preview and see you already gave Alex the answer. Of course, where you provided sympathy, I provided teasing . . . hmmm . . . yep, I'll stick with what I wrote.

Mosaic picture frame . . . lots of plane wood frames at places like JoAnn's or Michael's . . . then put a picture of you and your mom in it. OK, that's kind of sentimental . . . you're not starting to cry, are you? <heehee, post New Year's Eve button pushing . . .>

      I have read fermented foods like sauerkraut, pickles, Kefir, Kombucha are great for gut health besides probiotics. However I have searched and read about ones that were tested (Kefir, Kombucha) and there is no clear one that is very helpful. Has anyone take Kefir, Kombucha and noticed a difference in gut health? I read one is lactose free but when tested was high in lactose so I would probably try a non dairy one. Thanks
    • SamAlvi
      Thanks again for the detailed explanation. Just to clarify, I actually did have my initial tests done while I was still consuming gluten. I stopped eating gluten only after those tests were completed, and it has now been about 70 days since I went gluten-free. I understand the limitations around diagnosing NCGS and the importance of antibody testing and biopsy for celiac disease. Unfortunately, where I live, access to comprehensive testing (including total IgA and endoscopy with biopsy) is limited, which makes things more complicated. Your explanation about small-bowel damage, nutrient absorption, and iron-deficiency anemia still aligns closely with my history, and it’s been very helpful in understanding what may be going on. I don't wanna get Endoscopy and I can't start eating Gluten again because it's hurt really with severe diarrhea.  I appreciate you taking the time to share such detailed and informative guidance. Thank you so much for this detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate you pointing out the relationship between anemia and antibody patterns, and how the high DGP IgG still supports celiac disease in my case. A gluten challenge isn’t something I feel safe attempting due to how severe my reactions were, so your suggestion about genetic testing makes a lot of sense. I’ll look into whether HLA testing is available where I live and discuss it with my doctor. I also appreciate you mentioning gastrointestinal beriberi and thiamine deficiency. This isn’t something any of my doctors have discussed with me, and given my symptoms and nutritional history, it’s definitely worth raising with them. I’ll also ask about correcting deficiencies more comprehensively, including B vitamins alongside iron. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and taking the time to help. I’ll update the forum as I make progress.

      Blood tests for thiamine are unreliable.  The nutrients from your food get absorbed into the bloodstream and travel around the body.  So, a steak dinner can falsely raise thiamine blood levels in the following days.  Besides, thiamine is utilized inside cells where stores of thiamine are impossible to measure. A better test to ask for is the Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test.  But even that test has been questioned as to accuracy.  It is expensive and takes time to do.   Because of the discrepancies with thiamine tests and urgency with correcting thiamine deficiency, the World Health Organization recommends giving thiamine for several weeks and looking for health improvement.  Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Many doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition and deficiency symptoms, and may not be familiar with how often they occur in Celiac disease.  B12 and Vitamin D can be stored for as long as a year in the liver, so not having deficiencies in these two vitamins is not a good indicator of the status of the other seven water soluble B vitamins.  It is possible to have deficiency symptoms BEFORE there's changes in the blood levels.   Ask your doctor about Benfotiamine, a form of thiamine that is better absorbed than Thiamine Mononitrate.  Thiamine Mononitrate is used in many vitamins because it is shelf-stable, a form of thiamine that won't break down sitting around on a store shelf.  This form is difficult for the body to turn into a usable form.  Only thirty percent is absorbed in the intestine, and less is actually used.   Thiamine interacts with all of the other B vitamins, so they should all be supplemented together.  Magnesium is needed to make life sustaining enzymes with thiamine, so a magnesium supplement should be added if magnesium levels are low.   Thiamine is water soluble, safe and nontoxic even in high doses.  There's no harm in trying.

      Neither of them were anemic 6 months after the Celiac diagnosis. His other vitamin levels (d, B12) were never low. My daughters levels were normal after the first 6 months. Is the thiamine test just called thiamine? 
    • knitty kitty
      Yes, I do think they need a Thiamine supplement at least. Especially since they eat red meat only occasionally. Most fruits and vegetables are not good sources of Thiamine.  Legumes (beans) do contain thiamine.  Fruits and veggies do have some of the other B vitamins, but thiamine B 1 and  Cobalamine B12 are mostly found in meats.  Meat, especially organ meats like liver, are the best sources of Thiamine, B12, and the six other B vitamins and important minerals like iron.   Thiamine has antibacterial and antiviral properties.  Thiamine is important to our immune systems.  We need more thiamine when we're physically ill or injured, when we're under stress emotionally, and when we exercise, especially outside in hot weather.  We need thiamine and other B vitamins like Niacin B 3 to keep our gastrointestinal tract healthy.  We can't store thiamine for very long.  We can get low in thiamine within three days.  Symptoms can appear suddenly when a high carbohydrate diet is consumed.  (Rice and beans are high in carbohydrates.)  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function, so symptoms can wax and wane depending on what one eats.  The earliest symptoms like fatigue and anxiety are easily contributed to other things or life events and dismissed.   Correcting nutritional deficiencies needs to be done quickly, especially in children, so their growth isn't stunted.  Nutritional deficiencies can affect intelligence.  Vitamin D deficiency can cause short stature and poor bone formation.   Is your son taking anything for the anemia?  Is the anemia caused by B12 or iron deficiency?
