I have to get serious for a moment.

I missed what went on with the Glutenease thread and a lot of these posts are going over my head, and maybe I am reading them wrong?

I usually don't say anything or get involved with the different disagreements that go on on this board, but in this case I feel I need to.

I happen to be one who got very sick from a vaccination I had later in life and my health and my life has suffered greatly because of it. You don't have to agree with it or even believe it, but I feel different opinions shoud be accepted and respected within this diverse community.

IMO this is a public board and talking about other members in this thread, or making fun of someone who believe's differently, is something I don't agree with and I realize I am in the minority on that.

Last Fri was the 8th anniversary of my mom's death.............can't help but wonder if she had celiac. Almost lost her many years earlier when I was a kid.......had a busted appendix for 9 days before going to the hospital. I remember she said she just thought it was something she ate. Makes sense that if food was already making her sick, another tummy ache wouldn't have caused her alarm. And she was the kind of person to never let on if she didn't feel good. And that's why colon cancer took her so quickly.

So I thought, even though it's a simple sign, it would be fitting if the sign of the day were......

MOM

Hold hand with all fingers spread, like the number 5, and tap your thumb on your chin

........and since i missed yesterday........here's one to go along with it.........

I love you

With palm facing forward, hold up your thumb, index finger, and pinkie........the other 2 fingers are down. This is a combination of the letters I, L and Y

So sorry. this is really sad. I know my mom had celiac disease too undx'd. the colon cancer was sure not a good thing to have.

Didn't know you had so many sisters? Is the one in Italy the one who just got married?

Parents growing old It's hard. My dad is 78 and last night I just thought "Gawd, when I lose him " His cat's been sick and to him, it's the last symbol of my mom in his place. He has been heartbroken (she is doing better though) and it breaks my heart too. Sigh.

Ah Bev.......this is really sad too

Parents growing old.......oh god...my mom is 70, but does not have great health (breast cancer twice - first at age 32, w/ 16 lymph nodes removed......second at 40), thyroid cancer, diabetic (celiac in denial), three heart attacks and now a pacemaker (the medieval radiation in the sixties killed part of her lower heart tissue).... I REALLY need my mom to stick around for a while! (oh, Dad died of colon cancer at 56 - CELIAC ALSO)

BUT OMG - you're right - - I felt soooooooo sick yesterday - actually did read about seizure possibility and took half a pill in early evening......slightly better today. Felt like my brain was exploding yesterday, was short of breath, kept blacking out when standing up......

Me thinks you NEED a dr or the pharmacy to tell you how to get off these slowly!!!!

Sorry Jules. The comments aren't meant to be aimed at a person, more at an attitude. And I don't disagree that vaccines have some scary chemicals in them, and some people can be very adversely affected. My point through the whole vaccine thread was: educated yourself as to the pros and cons of what you are considering, and make an informed choice. My disagreement was with the posters that simply said, no, you're wrong. In all cases it's better to get the flu, than get the shot. I don't happen to believe that either viewpoint is true for all cases. You are an individual, and all the data are for populations.

Once again, well said, Jess. I apologise, too, Julie.....my offhanded, sarcastic line was thrown out for these reasons, as well. Informed choices, and most of all, an open mind, are always needed. :)

And so is a PHUNNY mind. Thank gawd we all have one another here! The craziness of my days just gets a li'l easier, more bearable, when I step into Sillyville for a bit....... :):wub:

Oh, Julie! we ARE very naughty for talking about people here. :ph34r:

I am so sorry if I've offended. I am one of those that's confused about vaccinations (this comes from one with no children, mind you).....it seems that many kids HAVE gotten sick from vaccines, no denying. Heck, I didn't give Stinker any shots for the last 11 years of her life, and Annie only gets rabies shots.....

I think it's the extreme mindset. Jess said it better than any of can, of course. It's the unwillingness to consider other options, maybe? But crap, I have read sooooooo many accounts of children who DID change dramatically after a vaccine......it can't be ignored.

but - what in hell do I know????????? I don't really read those threads. boggles me mind. :blink:

thank you, sillies, for your advice. But, um, who needs a doc when you've got google? :P I actually KNOW the correct weaning system. I just spaced out, completely spaced out and didn't THINK about weaning....so....I"ve reviewed the protocol and think I'll be okay.....

but.....I actually think I"m beyond the help of a doctor......unless there was a really good one here. :( My mom wishes there could be an MRI of my brain. I seriously think it's ruined. :wacko:

My mom wishes there could be an MRI of my brain. I seriously think it's ruined.

OMG..........I had an MRI of me brain done two summers ago (that's BRAIN, not BRIAN.......hmmmm....might be nice to have him MRI'd.... <_< ) and the neurologist showed me these incredible pics of the results - - lots of squished-up jelly material, some cloudy stuff that could explain a number of my traits, and some equally telling, I'm sure, empty spaces. :lol:

There was also this rather shocking, lightening-rod looking thing coming right up the centRE of my brain and ending in a splotch within my cerebrum. :blink::unsure: He tut-tutted quietly and said it was nothing at all significant, sumfin' that had been there since I was in utero, some little funny thing.....had a long, Latinate name.

This thing may actually explain a fair amount about me......... . . . . .. :lol:<_<

It would have been great to ask him for small printoffs of these images.....could keep one in me wallet. All those who ask to see current photos of the kids could be treated to, "Oh! You MUST see this latest shot of my brain"....... :lol:

Jules- My apologies too- many people have bad experiences with different things (uhm like ticks :ph34r: ) and just because one person's experience was different from the general population doesn't mean it wasn't valid and BAD. I missed the vaccination thread but I can tell you that, right now, I would not get any vaccination based on people's experiences in my life (heck- look what happened with the Lyme vaccine)I hope you will accept my apology. :wub:

Thanks Em, well said. I also regret being flippant about a subject so sensitive.

Truthfully, all of you here in Sillyville have become a little lifeline for me--I feel fortunate to have this place to escape to. :D

Me too!

And Jess- agreed-it's the attitude that you are wrong- my experience is the only truth. That is disrespectful (and kind of surprising given what many people have been through). I listen to two things: my body and my mind. But that doesn't mean that your body is wrong 'cuz it's different (your brain, my dear Jess, is CLEARLY wrong :P ).

Jules- Will you come back? :(:wub: :wub:

Y'know, Bev, I been meanin' to talk to you about this fantasy conviction the a bite from a little itty bitty teeny weeny bug could make you sick...

And that infrared light therapy? Totally bogus. That fact that it can cause Open Original Shared Link in some people, well, that doesn't mean that it's actually penetrating the skin.

Actually the concept that each individual is (genetically) unique is the basis of what we do in this lab. Ultimately it would be nice to have a gander at someone's genes and know if radiation is going to cause excess breakage, or vancomycin is slowly metabolized so you should give less, or this guy's gonna die from legionnaire's if he's not treated, or this lady will recover from her viral infection, but if you give her antibiotics because she's demanding them you'll end up causing an autoimmune reaction.

Yes, chemicals are bad for people, but they are less bad for some, and more bad for others.

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor. 
    • knitty kitty
      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit. 
    • Scott Adams
      I agree that KAN-101 looks promising, and hope the fast track is approved. From our article below: "KAN-101 shows promise as an immune tolerance therapy aiming to retrain the immune system, potentially allowing safe gluten exposure in the future, but more clinical data is needed to confirm long-term effects."  
    • Scott Adams
      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
