Awesome!!! I'm already learning how to do certain 'special' things so I can be a 'backup' person for when one guy's wife has a baby. Makes me feel good!

That's great!! I'm so happy for you :D

Way to go, Bun-Bun.

No time, except to ask Em and Bevel what makes them think I have hypoglycemia?? :o Not to my knowledge. It's just that my stomach always starts digesting itself if it doesn't have any food to work on, and then all hail breaks loose with the big bloat and stuph :P Don't have any of the classic symptoms when I looked them up :unsure:

If I may butt in here :lol: What a surprise, right? :P

Shroom, I noticed when I was reading about yer reaction the other day that I think what I've been experiencing is closer to what you have. I used to get panic attacks back in the day before I knew about the Celiac, but they have never happened since and those were different. The last few weeks, I have had 3 "occurrences" of pounding heart, sweaty hands and feet, and chills right after. It lasts about 10-15 minutes and then I'm fine, save for being a little wiped out

All 3 times, I have had gluten-free bread and/or white rice beforehand. I first thought about hypoglycemia, but I had blood tests just recently and my sugar is always fine. I wonder though--and for you too--about reactive hypoglycemia. It doesn't show up always in regular testing, but does in an all-day test. Not eating can trigger it, as can alcohol, sugar (or foods that digest as sugar), and caffeine.

I dunno--just thought I'd throw that out there.

I'm also very interested in what Em and Bevvie have to say :D

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice. :P

I think I immediately thought of hypoglycemia after your description of your symptoms, Shroom, because my head always seems to be there - - within the world of blood sugar issues. The classic symptoms of low blood sugar happened to you, if I remember correctly: Shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness.. .... . . ...and it typically happens when one has gone too long without food. Stomach issues aren't normally present, however, but nausea can be, as can tingling around the lips, general confusion and a hammering heartrate.

Because you had gone so long without food, and were experiencing some of these symtoms.. . .. . well, it seems to be walkin' and talkin' like a duck... . . ..

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Well, see, I don't get the sweaty hands and feet or the chills, but I am totally wiped out after because it can go on for 3 hours :o Howevah, coming home on an empty stomach and having a cocktail!!! Now that's not good!

hmm. I get the heart pounding thing if I eat too much white rice. Never thought to wonder about it, just figgered I'd stop eating rice. :P

It's not just pounding, it's erratic as hell, stopping and starting, and the pulses in my head are so painful :blink:

Yeah, I unnerstand you live in this world :( but I'm really not keen to go there :unsure: No shaking, weakness, sweat, dizziness. No tingling lips, no confoosion. In fact, it is exactly the same as the way I react after eating the high lectin foods (which give me the bloating)

I'm with Em on this one. Same thing happens to me. Quack.

I'm not quacking yet :ph34r:

Thanks for all your responses. It's just that when I checked all the classic symptoms none of them seemed to be me :blink:

You should be able to. From within the topic, to the left of the page navigation buttons is a blue button with an inverted black triangle. Click it and you will be asked to type a page number. The riotous phun starts at page 1700.

oh.....I see. They's just hiding it <_<

Speaking of classic sillie moments, remember how we pulled off 100 pages in a weekend when Soozle was kween? Leesigh, as I recall, was instrumental in that one :lol:

That's what they've been talkin about, psilly! Page 1700 :P

.....and it was Jan-knit's idea. However, I think I did pull night duty that weekend.

...or the yeti & the care bear :blink::lol:

I think I came on the scene in the middle or towards the end of the yeti and totally missed the care bear :unsure:

A page or so after that Janet recaps Emily's greetings to potential new Psillies. :lol: :lol:

When my DD was diagnosed hypoglycemic, I started to realize I may have it too. I get all those symptoms. Now, I've had the tingling around the lips, too, but always thought it must be a food allergy, but never figured it out. I've been sugar free...including grains...for some time now, and have not had the tingling in a long time. Hmmmm.......

Is this like the women who live together all have their periods at the same time thing? People who post together all end up with hypoglycemia?

Quack :rolleyes:

I gotta bond somehow, as the aforementioned no longer visits :P

Went to a gluten free pitch-in today :) The one that Jyan-knit couldn't attend this year :(

I need to thank her for keeping Skeeter away, cuz I got to win a food basket this time! :D

It's beginning to look like it :o

After Mark left, I was doing a lot of things like grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner, leftover rice cooked in milk for breakfast--easy stuff since it was just me. In other words, I was falling back into eating more of the "white carbs" just because of the convenience.

Today, I had no grain at all...or sugar.... made a real dinner. Feel nice and calm :rolleyes: I'm glad we talked about this!

Yep :) Probably not solved, but more like "so far, so good". I've been living in fear for the past few weeks, thinking I was going to have a heart attack or something--and wouldn't have anyone to call. I wonder if this stuff is messing with my brain.....

Jan-it's post that set it all in motion.

Jestgar Rising Star

Just re-reading that was a lot of fun. We're all a bunch a' goofs.

jerseyangel Proficient

Well, tom's doing his part . . . if 10 of us can average 150 posts whilst Susie is gone . . . a mere 50 posts a day . . . :huh: . . . I think we need to recruit some more psillies, stat!!!

Jan-it breakin' it down :lol:

My, how very low the ptaumphoolery bar has fallen . . .. .

Just cause I loved it! :D

Somebody would probably report you for violating board rule #3:

There is a low tolerance for spam, and Scott is not very forgiving.

      @Manaan2, I was on Miralax for several months after I crushed three vertebrae and fractured my hip.  The compression fractures of my vertebrae affected the Vagus nerve that stimulates digestion and intestinal movement, peristalsis. Miralax just didn't relieve the constipation I was experiencing at all.  Nothing budged.  I tried Milk of Magnesia (magnesium oxide) which pulls water into the digestive tract, and found that rather harsh and dehydrating.   Bad idea. I was already taking thiamine in various forms, Benfotiamine, TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl  disulfude), Lipothiamine and Allithiamine.  Click on my name, then Activities in the pull down menu to get to my blog to learn more about my journey with thiamine.   Since we need more thiamine when we are physically ill and emotionally stressed, I decided to focus on TTFD,  Benfotiamine, and magnesium l-threonate.  Within a week of increasing my doses a bit, my constipation was gone.  It took several more months to heal the compressed nerve damage.  For pain, I take a combination of TTFD, Pyridoxine B 6, and  Cobalamine B12 which together have an analgesic effect.  I can't function with pharmaceutical pain killers, besides they cause constipation.   Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Yes, I did just stop the Miralax, but I wasn't on it as long as your daughter.  Yes, there's a difference between adults and children.  Yes, my circumstances were different than your daughter's, but thiamine deficiency does affect the nerves and the brain.  A twenty percent increase in dietary thiamine causes an eighty percent increase in brain function (which activates the Vagus nerve and controls digestion).   I recommend you visit Dr. Chandler Marrs' website, hormonesmatter.com.  Dr. Marrs worked with Dr. Derrick Longsdale, a pioneer in thiamine research, specifically with children and autism spectrum disorders.  She has been very helpful to me when I reached out to her.  She would be better able to guide you about your daughter's care. https://hormonesmatter.com/sibo-ibs-constipation-thiamine-deficiency/#google_vignette Do stay in touch, please.  You can start another thread or personal message me any time.  My heart goes out to you, your husband, and especially your daughter.   Namaste

      @knitty kitty  The information you've provided is invaluable!  I have a lot more homework to do before we make the official switch but you have significantly increased my hope that we can get her off Miralax (she started at 3 years old and is almost 8!).  This weekend my husband and I plan to solidify all the details for a start point, then adjust as we go along.  I realize that everyone's body is different, then there's also the fact that she's a child but just out of curiosity if you don't mind sharing and if you'd rather not, no problem at all-how long did you take Miralax before switching and when you switched, did you just completely stop the Miralax or was there a period where you did Miralax and the supplements?  I plan to research that piece this weekend but just curious what you did.

      Scott, thanks so much for the thoughtful replies. My doctor did actually just re-order thyroid labs to see what is going on with my TPOs. I agree that will be interesting information.  I think I know the answer to this, but as far as the biopsy . . .. that would be quite conclusive as far as celiac goes, but a negative result would not rule out NCGS, correct? Does NCGS also cause damage to the lower intestine/leaky gut?  I appreciate the thought that I should be open-minded to other causes. I did not have dysautonomia on my radar, so I will look into that. From a quick scan at the potential symptoms it seems like almost anyone could convince themselves they have it, very broad! I can see why that is a tricky one to diagnose. I did also show low vitamin D, I'm in New England so that is somewhat common. I have a memory of low iron on some lab result as well but I can't find it, so I'll look into that. My cholesterol is high too, so working on that.  While the initial adjustment was tough, I have actually adapted fairly well to going gluten-free at home. The tough part for me is I love eating out and traveling, so that has been a challenge. I suppose if the answer ends up being NCGS then I could maintain a mostly gluten-free diet but also experiment with the occasional splurges. Snowboarding just doesn't feel right without a beer in the lodge . . ... cider is just not the same!  Thanks again.

      I did some research and found out that vaccines put preservatives, sugar alcohols and metals in them. Which I have a intolerance too.  I was supposed to do testing to find out metal's I was allergic to because I can't  wear jewelry of any kind. Mayo felt I had other allergies also.

      For individuals who have experienced negative reactions to the flu vaccine, there are alternative formulations that may reduce the risk of allergic responses. Traditional flu vaccines are typically produced using egg-based methods, which can pose issues for those with egg allergies. However, there are now several egg-free options available, such as cell-based and recombinant flu vaccines. Recombinant Vaccines (e.g., Flublok Quadrivalent): These are produced without the use of eggs and are grown in insect cells, making them a suitable option for individuals with egg allergies. Cell-Based Vaccines (e.g., Flucelvax Quadrivalent): These vaccines are also egg-free and are produced using mammalian cell cultures, which can be a safer alternative for those with egg allergies. Other Considerations: If you have had a reaction to a specific component of the flu vaccine (e.g., gelatin, preservatives, or antibiotics), discussing your medical history with a healthcare provider is crucial. They can help identify vaccines that exclude these ingredients. It's important to consult with an allergist or healthcare provider to determine the safest option based on your specific allergies and medical history. They can also provide guidance on pre-vaccination testing or desensitization protocols if necessary. Also, at @trents mentioned, could you be getting hidden gluten in your diet? Do you eat in restaurants? If so, this could be why you still have high gluten antibodies.
