Finally Cleaning The House

I've pretty much been cleaning for the last two days straight...which normally would sound AWFUL, but I am so happy!!! I haven't cleaned (like REALLY cleaned, only bare necessities) in SOOOOO long because I've been too tired and/or too sick, that I have just been doing what I need to survive. But I'm on...day 3 I think (?) of the elimination diet...okay, memory still sucks LOL...and the past two days I have felt pretty great :D Seriously, I want to sleep in my bathroom it's so clean LOL

I don't want to speak so soon, but I'm excited. I'm also starting to understand some of the frustration I've read from other posters about not getting diagnosed sooner...those feelings of missing out or wasting time because I've just been sick, when maybe all I needed to do was cut out some foods??! It seems so crazy. I think I'm younger than some people being diagnosed, but still upsetting, seems like "lost time".

Anyways, I just wanted to share some GOOD news finally, because I was in a very dark place merely days ago.

**thanks for all the support :) I'm gonna keep at it, if I feel good again tomorrow, then I think I will try reintroducing soy on Tuesday!

That's great. Cleaning my house and being happy about it was one of the first clues that I really had been far less than normal for many years. I hope you continue to feel better. Good luck with soy. I don't think I'm getting that one back.

Me too. I was sick for so many years that I still have stuff to catch up on. Lots of cleaning, reading, and going through papers. Initially I kept having set backs as I would have problems figuring out my diet and sensitivity level. It's getting better and better and the house is getting cleaner and cleaner. I hate housework, but love a clean house.

Having energy when we haven't had it in so long is a wonderful feeling. Glad to hear you are feeling better and I hope it continues.

sorry :( my bad :( alot of dairy still bothers me but it has to do with the lactose - stuff without milk sugars (or less) i can eat. have you tried lactaid milk? i still have to pay attention and some cheese makes me sick/bloated/etc for no apparent reason.

My test results aren't in yet but it will certainly be interesting if I test positive. Since my son was diagnosed I've done lots of reading and wow it would certainly explain some things in my life. I haven't had any real energy for so long...My house looks like a cyclone hit it and is bringin me down. Hmm..so if I don't have celiac what can I blame it on? ...working full time and three kids ;)

I'm glad to hear it is going well for you :) It must be a wonderful feeling both physically and mentally to declutter and clean. I know when my house is clean I sit back and just look at my clean house and sigh...I wonder when my family will clue into the fact that a clean house means a happy mom? :P

I cleaned my house when I got my energy back too. :) I found a stack of mail that had dates going back two years sitting in a spot where I'd placed it until I felt like sorting it!

Glad you're feeling better. :) Keep up the good work.

PS I hope it goes well with the soy.

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
