Thanks Ptaum and evryone- Yes, a virtual tickle always works- especially if it's on the funny bone :lol: I'm feeling quite mopey and lethargic but it IS gloriously sunny so I took Ding Ding (Angus's new nickname) for a walk. Saw the first red cardinal of the spring!

OMG.... :lol::lol:

Just emailed to me......

I was due for an appointment with the gynecologist later in the

week. Early one morning, I received a call from the doctor's

office to tell me that I had been rescheduled for that morning at

9:30 am. I had only just packed everyone off to school, and it was

already around 8:45 am. The trip to his office took about 35 minutes,

so I didn't have any time to spare.

As most women do, I like to take a little extra effort over hygiene

when making such visits, but this time I wasn't going to be able to

make the full effort. So, I rushed upstairs, threw off my pajamas,

wet the washcloth that was sitting next to the sink, and gave myself

a quick wash in 'that area' to make sure I was at least presentable.

I threw the washcloth in the clothes basket, donned some clothes,

hopped in the car and raced to my appointment.

I was in the waiting room for only a few minutes when I was called

in. Knowing the procedure, as I'm sure you do, I hopped up on the

table, looked over at the other side of the room and pretended that I

was in Paris or some other place a million miles away.

I was a little surprised when the doctor said, 'My, we have made

an extra effort this morning, haven't we?'

I didn't respond...

After the appointment, I heaved a sigh of relief and went home.

The rest of the day was normal ... Some shopping, cleaning, cooking,

etc. After school when my 6 year old daughter was playing, she called

out from the bathroom, 'Mommy, where's my washcloth?' I told her to

get another one from the cupboard.

She replied, "No, I need the one that was here by the sink....it had

all my glitter and sparkles saved inside it".

In my pre-celiac days I loved Olive Garden. One day after some Christmas Shopping, my father and I went to Olive Garden together. It is 30 minutes from where my family lives. SO on the way home I got the usual cramps and such. When we got home we discovered we were locked out and the spare key was in the house....and I was bursting. I had to climb up the roof and in through a 2nd floor window and down to open the door for my dad and then back to the loo.....it was horrible. I was surprised I did not have an accident from that.

Embarrassed by always being sick, my dad thought I had to pee....so he said I could always go in the garage and go over the drain...I finally broke down and told him why that was not an option....could you imagine! :(:(:(

*Deep breath*

''OK,..... well leave it for a couple of days and it might work''

''Wot?? - err so you ain't gonna buy me a new one''

''Err - NO!!!!!''

''But I need a phone ...that's SO unfair.........it weren't my FAULT!!!!!!'' (pitch getting higher & louder)

<Small lecture by Mummy about 'looking after' your own belongings falling on deaf ears as he SLAMS out the house>

      Villi damage is caused by celiac disease, which does not happen in NCGS, although some people with NCGS do have elevated antibody levels. Some people with NCGS who have the genes for celiac disease may end up developing celiac disease, so in some people NCGS may be a precursor to celiac disease, but more research needs to be done on NCGS. Both low iron and vitamin D are common symptoms of celiac disease. Also, regarding beer:

      It’s true that some vaccines contain small amounts of preservatives, stabilizers, or adjuvants to ensure their safety and effectiveness. For example: Thimerosal: A preservative that contains ethylmercury (not to be confused with methylmercury, which is toxic). Most routine vaccines no longer contain thimerosal, except for some flu vaccines in multi-dose vials. Aluminum: Used in very small amounts as an adjuvant to boost the immune response. The amount is far below levels considered harmful, but if you suspect an aluminum allergy, it’s worth discussing with your doctor. Sugar alcohols: These are sometimes used as stabilizers, but they are generally well-tolerated. If you have a known intolerance, you can ask about specific ingredients in each vaccine. Since you mentioned an intolerance to metals and jewelry, it’s a good idea to follow up with allergy testing, as you planned. This can help identify specific metals (e.g., nickel, aluminum) to avoid. Your doctor can then guide you on whether any vaccine ingredients might be a concern. Since the Mayo Clinic has already identified potential allergies, it might be helpful to consult an allergist or immunologist. They can review your medical history, perform tests, and provide personalized advice on vaccines and their ingredients. While it’s important to address your intolerances, it’s also worth considering the risks of not being vaccinated. Many vaccine-preventable diseases can have serious consequences, especially for those with underlying health conditions.

      @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.
