Oh, gawd......I feel like I need some good drugs meself. No, it's not my tooth. I've just been communicating briefly with Susie via email, and got the recent updates (been kind of out of the loop), and it's all so unbelievably tragic and heartbreaking for that beautiful woman. :(:( I want to be there so badly, just to collect her into a huge hug, and not let go....

Gad, sorry all...Susie's email just floored me, and I had to type something knee-jerk.

Carry onward with yon silliness.....!

Hi sillies,

Driving Weather was not on my side today, down pours, storms, fog you name it.....12 miles single lane constructions :o I had a near collision in the fog with get this....very ironic with a Wegmans tractor trailer.....yes an idiot cut off the truck and we went into the fog zone and he slammed on his brakes the truck swerved and I was in his blind area....I was able to move and the truck driver waved and mouthed he was sorry.

The illness is still not good....I am in lots of pain from my esophugus.....I cant spell. Anyway that is inflammed so eating is very painful and I have still have the pain/burning spurts, last night one was so bad that John held my hand while I took a shower.....

Today I was tired and the cough hurts too.

Tammy's wedding was nice. We had a lovely time. I did have to tell her that even though it was taking place at the courthouse it was just as special....she was a little sad this morning....She looked pretty :) I am so proud of her.

She is a mom, a full-time med student who is making straight A's, she works on the side as well doing West Nile testing, it is amazing :)

So thats my update Bye Sillies, time to rest!!!!

Amanda, so glad to hear the wedding was really nice :)

About your esophogus pain and inflammation, slippery elm has been a life saver for me when I've had gerd attacks and esophogeal spasms and such. You can find it at the health food stores, they have lozenges (check ingredients, but I am pretty sure they are safe gluten wise :huh: )

I usually just buy slippery elm powder in bulk (like from Whole Foods) and make a gruel to drink, 1 tbsp powder mixed into a cup or a cup and a half of cold water in a pan over the stove, stir constantly with a wisk while you heat it up to a boil, it will start to thicken a little, if it's too thick to drink add more water to thin it out to drinking consistency. The slippery elm actually soothes the inflamed tissues.

Holy poop- I almost dropped the laptop cuz lightning........SCARY...gotta go!!!!!!

YIKES, better skee-daddle Bev, you don't want to be a fried poop, or a zapped poop!

We got a some rain, it passed through quickly to amount to anything severe like what was predicted, no heavy hail or anything like that. But OMG is it ever muggy, my hair is not a happy camper <_<:rolleyes:

My whole Esophogus problems stemmed from the ravaging bronch. infection. I never had gerd issues beforew at all....The Z-pac will calm it down. Scary huh?

Night Night sillies!

Anyone watch The Colbert Report?

He was dissing the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

:lol:

Sounds more Scottish than British, imho.

Emily, I tuned in to the Rogers Cup and saw:

DANCEVIC -vs- DJOKOVIC

Was momentarily fooled into thinking both were from . .. .uhh .. .somewhere over there .. .you know.

I think the canuck lost.

Oh! New Dr.?

p'raps, if you want to just remove the rest of your tooth..

Hit the local rink, strap on the pads but leave the mask at home?

Eventually the pesky tooth will be the one taking a slapshot. :blink:

Nice pic Amanda . ....go Zpac go!!!

Julie? :o Gruel???? :blink: :wontdroolforgruelface:

Gawd Amanda, how scary with the near collision!!! Thank goodness you're ok.

Be careful about the shower. Heat can help break up mucous, but steam can be VERY difficult to breathe when you are so inflamed. It can be very easy to become dizzy or black out. Good on John for helping you out! :D

So happy the wedding was nice and everyone had a good time :) Now you need to rest up and take good care of yerself, Amanda! ;) Harrowing drive, though--I'm glad I didn't have to be on the road last night.....

What's the latest on your liver enzymes/gall bladder situation?

The technician told me that she didn't see anything that would cause the enzymes to be elevated--no stones, liver looked clear. I still haven't heard the official word from the doctor though <_< Liver disease can cause the enzymes to be high, but they can also be elevated without disease. :huh:

I still wonder if the daily gluten cross contamination from the nuts could have caused them to be out of whack because one of the readings was elevated before I went gluten-free and it went back to normal after being on the diet for a few months. (probably wishful thinking...)

I just read that your Edna is working beautifully!! That's great, Julie! :D

the new Ben&Jerry's flavor honoring Elton John - said one ingredient was "candied lamb cartilage".

Ew-w-w-w! :o

Yeah--Julie said gruel :P

My kids have finally finished school 'til Sept (Woo-hoo!) and the sun IS shining......

Yippee!! :D

NIK! Naked tatoo'd grandmas! :lol: :lol:

Huh? Where? :unsure:

Ah--storms have passed through and the air is fresh this morning!! :D I just got a call from the phone/cable company--they got tons of calls like mine yesterday and got the problem fixed overnight so they don't have to come out. My internet is working fine and so is the phone!! :) Like Nik said--Woo-hoo :P

      Many of the symptoms, there are over 200, associated with celiac disease and NCGS are vitamin and mineral deficiencies caused by small intestine damage in the case of celiac disease and food avoidance and the poor nutrittion of the Modern American Diet (MAD) I used to turn the heat on even at 78 degrees.  The 600 mcg of Liquid Iodine helped.  Also good for hair, nails, skin and brain fog.  Another good thing for brain fog is phosphatyl choline.  It is essentil for acetylcholine- a brain chemical. I have familial hyperlipdemia and instead of a statin I got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid, 2000 mg a day.  I was already taking 500 mg a day and was really surprised when my HDL when up to  44 and I began sleeping better and my legs and back are getting more flexible.  In addition after the first few doses of itchiness I get a warm fuzzy feeling Raising your vitamin D is crucial.  Low vitamin D allows the immune system to run amuck. intermittent bouts of fatigue, chills/cold intolerance, and shortness of breath/air hunger (sometimes feels like a hollowness in my chest, hard to describe).  Look at Thiamin deficiency. consistently ran hot, was always cranking the a/c, to someone who wears a down vest.  Any combination of deficiencies in B1, B2, B3, B5, choline and Iodine can cause this.  Likely all of them. After a lifetime of mouthbreathing GFD cleared my sinuses.  Post nasal drip is my first symptom of cross contamination nowaday.

      If you mean continueing on Gluten Free my answer is yes.  She showed significant improvement in her behavior and that translates to a happy family.  Do get her tested as sooon as you can.  You might want to investigate genetic testing for Celiac Disease.  Children recover more quickly than adults.  It took my son about 6 months on Nutramigen before going to regular food, gluten free.  Blood tests are not always accurate in very young children. You may be advised to see a gastroenterologist instead of relying on blood tests results. Logic: She is better off gluten than before.  Wheat flour has no nutritional value and has an omega 6: omega 3 ratio of 22:1.  Our bodies do better at 3:1.  Omega 6 causes inflammation. When my son was diagnosed, back in 1976, his doctor recommended my wife and I also go gluten free.  We declined and lived to regret it.  I started GFD at 63 and have spent the last 10 years undoing the damage, some of my symptons went all the way back to my childhood and things I lived with all my life got better.
    • Wheatwacked
      Hi @Nicbent35,             When my son was diagnosed with Celiac Disease when he was weaned, so I understand your frustration.       With improvement so dramatic, it cannot be a coincedence. Get her to the doctor and tell the story and insist on testing.  In the meantime, though, continue on GFD.  Her health is more important than convincing a doctor.  Bring videos of her behaviors if you can.  Even if the blood tests and biopsy prove negative, that is part of the diagnosis process for NCGS and later when she is recovered you can always do a Gluten Challenge.      This is an important time in her developement.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption syndrome, leading to malnutrition, regardles of what she eats.  Though NCGS may not cause malabsorption, it will affect food choices which can lead to malnutrition.  There may be benifits that an official diagnosis may have, but they don't trump a healthy child.      Get her healthy, then worry about validation later.  Celiac Disease is difficult to diagnosed, especially in children, because doctors look for antibodies in the blood and young children have immature immune systems.  Also you don't mention any gastrologic symtoms and celiac disease is traditionally considered gastrolic only.  Not true.  There are over 200 symptom that celiac disease and the accompaning malnutrion mimics or causes that often causes misdiagnosis and delay in recovery. While at the doctors, ask them about vitamin D deficiency and Iodine deficiency in particular. Milk being the primary source of iodine in the diet, but concerns exist regarding the lower iodine content in organic milk and reduced milk consumption in certain demographics.  Vitamin D deficiency is 40% of the industrialized population and a recent study in the Great Britain showed a wopping 60%, beaten only by some areas of Canada at 70%. And B1, B2, B3, B5 and B6.  Deficiencies in these are common in untreated Celiac Disease and they affect energy production. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results?
    • knitty kitty
      @plumbago, Are you taking any folate with your B12?   Folate helps regulate HDL levels.  You may try taking a methylfolate supplement with your B12.   If there's a folate deficiency because you aren't absorbing sufficient folate, or have the MThF mutation causing a functional folate deficiency (methylfolate trap), you can have a functional B12 deficiency despite supplementing, resulting in HDL levels not getting regulated, but running high or low.   Pushing the envelope in explanations, too. P. S. Are you taking a B Complex?  Folate and B12 Cobalamine need enzymes made from B6 Pyridoxine's interaction with Thiamine, and B2 Riboflavin's interaction with Thiamine.  Is your Vitamin D low?
    • Nicbent35
      Thank you for all that helpful info, does that mean it’s not a good idea to do what I’m doing? Or since it’s only been a week should I see if I could get her tested now? Would it show up still since it hasn’t been long if they tested her?
