Ohhhh! I always thought that meant something else. Why are people so concerned with getting cumined and cinnamoned? :unsure:

My DD has done it again. She's cunning that one. Her birthday is on Saturday and I asked her what she wanted. She said there were only 2 things that she really, really wanted: a puppy and her ears pierced. That's all she wanted... We had told her before that no dog until she's at least 10 and no ear piercing until she's 12....

She's getting her ears pierced Saturday morning :rolleyes:

hey, you silly mods...............does anyone one of you talented folks know where my thread went where i was asking about the pro-biotic Bio-K+ went?

Probably into the abyss of 'no one read' so buried in the depths of hell...........excuse me...........depths of the c.c storage vaultlaugh.gif

But hey, could use some help here buddies.

Joooodie! I'm so sorry to hear that you still have this awful thing hanging around - - C. diff is a horrible infection. Now, I could leap over to your dedicated thread and be the first to reply, but I'm too lazy and tired -- heading for bed.. . . :rolleyes:... . so I'll mention this here in Psillyville: I did reams of research a couple of years ago on the treatment of C. Diffficile, as my brother-in-law came close to dying from it. After all my on-line, peer-reviewed digging, I discovered that the probiotic Saccharomyces Boulardi is, by far, the most effective "good" bacterium to fight this. It really helped my BIL. It is pricey, but worth it! :)

Hi Joodee (in Temecula :) - hope you're not hiding from anyone :P )

Just lost a post to you to a temperamental mouse (rose right up and bit me :o )

I had a C-diff infection, diagnosed by Great Smokies (now Genova) back in the 90's by stool sample. It came back as being treatable by a forgotten antibiotic, or by Gentian formula. I chose the Gentian formula since it was antibiotics what got me there in the first place. I was treated by an alternative MD in Marin County. I also had candida overgrowth and he prescribed lots of supplements including deglycirrnizated (sp?) licorice, evening primrose oil, and lots of stuff I don't remember. How were you diagnosed?

Also, perhaps of interest, I have just been prescribed a really strong probiotic by Krispin Sullivan (The Krispin Report - on lectins) to heal my leaky gut which is letting the lectins through. It is called VSL#3 and contains 254 billion organisms of seven different strains to be sprinkled on yogurt, ice cream or mixed with water if you MUST :unsure: ) and is not digested until it reaches where it needs to be. It is pricey, but could be worth it if it works. She swears by it - she is a CN. Whatever you take, hope it works.

Rachelle..........thanks so much. That's just what I figured happened. Most of mine do end up there.

No one sees them and never seem to get much help with what ails me I'm the weirdo I guess.

Know the MOD's don't allow a 'bounce' so will just count on my sillies again as usual

Thanks shroomy..........

I got this from a abx to get rid of the H-pylori bacteria causing the stomach ulcers that were causing the blockage and not allowing the stomach to empty. Then scare tissue built up and have to keep going for endoscopy to stretch the what ever........cool.gif to allow all to flow. Both GI and ID specialist said the drug caused the c-diff. I never usually take abx and go more holistic routes whenever I can. I this case, had to take the drug..........no choice in the matter.

Was dx'd with 3 stool samples -3 different day........both times and we positive for both A and B stains.

I have some evening primrose capsules here maybe i should just take some. Was on PB8 acidophilus for years and while on vanco, took 3 with each meal.

I've heard of the VSL#3 Alot of the people on LOD diet take that one.

Thanks for the advice kido

Can't tell you how much I appreciate you all helping me out here

don't know if i can't put a link on here to a video but will try.......not promoting the probotic.......it was from a news program..........will give it a go

If it's not allowed.............I'm sure a MOD will catch it laugh.gif

will post this first to be sure I don't lose this one.

Hi Judith :D

I did not sleep in me own bed last night but said bed and the rest of me stuph was delivered yesterday and will be slept in tonight fer sure :)

I like this guest house we're staying in--last night, Mark and I got in late from unpacking at the apartment and went down to the kitchen to have sumphin to eat. We got talking to a delightphul gentleman from Kenya who is wrapping up teaching here and is planning on returning home soon.

Come to find out, he attended Syracuse University in the early 70's--Mark and I both grew up within a couple miles of the campus and lived there at that time. We reminised about the area, and we learned a lot about how his life in Kenya compares wif life here. Very interesting and facinating!

Staying here is like staying at yer grandma's house if she took in cool boarders. :rolleyes:

what a fun place Patti, for Mark to have hung his hat while being away from you

Glad you had a day to kinda recoop from the coughing and sore throat. Hope your feeling better and don't over do tonight. Wish i could have some of your Mac and Cheese..........sure sounds good.

Enjoy your old bed tonighwink.gif oh, and be sure to get some sleep too laugh.gif

Ok my silly dr team.

Had to see a new Internist......fired the last one. Wanted a woman and got a pill pusher instead. Jim said 4 drug reps came to see her while he was waiting for me.

Another grand slam Dr. I'm on a roll and not complaining. Had to go as the lymph leg was swelling like a tree stump. He was great and he joked........always like that.........when i told him who my GI and LD were. He's my GI's Dr but my GI never goes to dr's unless for blood work.........laugh.gif He said he sees them everyday in the hospital. He said......... " Well with all you have going on you have a great team here."

Won't bore you with details but he wished i'd come in as a new patient so he could give me 1/2 in stead of the alloted.ph34r.gif 15 min. Next time said book a new patient and I'll give you and your husband 45 min. I really want to look over your comprehensive reports from PA Dr.

Got my flu shot............was i crazyblink.gif Don't want to get sick like Patti and she says she just had a cold.......... so flu cold what ever I want it to go away...........Just like EARL

Anyone heard from Lisa B?

Hope all on the coast are ok.

Thanks for caring you all

Hooray, stuph is delivered - you is moved in.

I know what you mean about guest houses. I stayed in one when I first got to London, and the peeps there were fascinating. Clay's uncle, until he moved to the U.S. at 60, spent most of his life living in boarding houses :o - a bachelor and I guess he liked the company. There was a certain gentleman of a certain age staying at the boarding house where I was, an Aussie no less, who claimed he owned an island off the coast of Oz and tried to sweep me off my feet and carry me back there :unsure:

:blink:

:lol:

I said no, he would just have to settle for a dinner date or two cos I only just got to London and weren't leaving :rolleyes:

.......here's what's in Cosmo.......

Ways to decorate your va-jay-jay!!!!!!

Besides the usual trimming

...there is, of course, the Brazilian

....which has led to interesting ways to decorate your bare hoo-ha

......like bedazzling.....little adhesive rhinestones (Jennifer Love Hewitt says it's like a "little disco ball down there") :lol:

....or temporary vag tattoos

.....and soon to come.........glow-in-the-dark temporary tats :rolleyes:

There's also a temporary dye to restore the 'pink' to your cooch (their word, not mine) ;)

Then there's panties with an extension attached to them which you insert into your vagina so you can practice your kegels :huh:

.....or how about the pantiliners in hot pink leopard print? :P

.....or the pad for your undies that prevent camel toe :o

I can't believe they didn't mention glitter! B)

We did the second interviews yesterday taking Karen's hub's input to heart. We looked for which of the two would fit better in terms of personality, and agreed on one of them. Today, we made an offer and it was accepted. She starts tomorrow. :)

Oh, and I am definitely feeling old.

We have had many employees who are young enough that we could be their parents, and customers sometimes ask, "Is that your daughter?" But this time around it is a larger difference. With forty years between us, I am old enough to be her grandfather. :o

      Does anyone here also have Afib

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      If black seed oil is working for his Afib, stick to it, but if not, I can say that ablation therapy is no big deal--my mother was out of the procedure in about 1 hour and went home that evening, and had zero negative effects from the treatment. PS - I would recommend that your husband get an Apple watch to monitor his Afib--there is an app and it will take readings 24/7 and give reports on how much of the time he's in it. Actual data like this should be what should guide his treatment.

      Covid caused reoccurrence of DH without eating gluten

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      New Celiac Mama in My 30s

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
