Natural Gas Connection?

I may be putting this in the wrong forum, and if so, I apologize. But just read something I'm curious about. I was smelling a strong whiff of natural gas. I get quite paranoid about stuff like this and my husband is out of town today. So I go online to google symptoms of a gas leak, so I'll know when I start feeling sick. I found an article by someone claiming a whole family suffering all kinds of symptoms for 4 yrs. These symptoms are a laundry list that sounds just like this forum! They found out they had a slow leak and all the symptoms were due to gas poisoning! Has anyone heard this before or know anything about it??

Please call your gas company right away--they will come to check things out. Open a couple of windows while you wait.

My 20 yr old son came home from classes in the next 30 minutes and by the time he walked around smelling, the smell was gone. Must have been something outside for a time and the rest was my imagination taking over. Thanks for any concern. Still leaves me wondering about any connection tho.

Still, call your gas company and have them check the outside meter and your house. We had a gas leak for 1.5 years because the gas line on our new furnace was leaking. The installer didn't tighten the connection. We couldn't smell the gas (actually the "rotten egg" gas added so you can smell it), but friends could. We called the gas company three times over the 1.5 years; they found gas leaks on outside meters, but didn't check the house. They finally checked the house and sprayed soapy water on the pipe; gas was bubbling out. We didn't have symptoms, probably because of the volume of natural gas relative to air in the house.

I agree--in a former house we had a slow gas leak behind the stove. We lived there for months before it was discovered. Better to be safe than sorry.

      Celiac getting dentures

      By gfmom06 · Posted

      I have had orthodontic work done. The 3M invisalign material was no problem. BUT my retainers are another matter. They seemed okay for a few months. Now, however, they cause a burning sensation on my tongue, gums and insides of my lips. The burning sensation is now spreading to my throat. I notice it when I breathe. This is annoying and interferes with my enjoyment of eating. I am visiting with my provider tomorrow. We'll see where this goes from here.

      Is this celiac?

      By Beverage · Posted

      Exactly which blood tests were done? There are a few different ones and some docs don't do them all. Also, your results and reference ranges for each?

      Thankyou so much for your words.Its a hard battle when a supposed well known hospital whose celiac " specialist " has down played me because my colon looks fine and put it in my medical and so pcp doesn't take seriously. In their eyes we all carry that gene.Im having alot of bad days trying to be positive because of it.

      Your experience is both shocking and critically important for the community to hear, underscoring the terrifying reality that cross-contamination can extend into the most unexpected and invasive medical devices. It is absolutely devastating that you had to endure six months of sickness and ultimately sustain permanent vision loss because a doctor dismissed your legitimate, life-altering condition. Your relentless research and advocacy, from discovering the gluten in MMA acrylic to finding a compassionate prosthodontist, is a testament to your strength in a system that often fails celiac patients. While the scientific and medical consensus is that gluten cannot be absorbed through the skin or eyes (as the molecules are too large to pass through these barriers), your story highlights a terrifying gray area: what about a substance *permanently implanted inside the body*, where it could potentially shed microparticles or cause a localized immune reaction? Your powerful warning about acrylic lenses and the drastic difference with the silicone alternative is invaluable information. Thank you for sharing your harrowing journey and the specific, severe neurological symptoms you endure; it is a stark reminder that celiac is a systemic disease, and your advocacy is undoubtedly saving others from similar trauma.
