Going Downhill Fast

Holy cow! I'm crying again. But this time it's because I found out my friends are organizing a fundraiser so I can get that MRI. I feel TERRIBLE about taking charity - I've always been one to give charity, not recieve it. But I feel wonderful knowing that my friends care about me so much. And it WILL be good to finally find out what this is - even if it turns out to be cancer. At least I'll know.

That's so nice about your friends!

If you are paying cash for the MRI, you might be able to get it cheaper. Someone paying at the time of service costs the hospital less than billing insurance companies or managing people making payments.

Keep trying to eat the things that aren't your worst foods. Not eating just makes you feel worse & messes up your digestion more.

It's not charity when it's from your friends. That's called love. :)

And oh, how I love them all back! As crummy as I feel, I think I am the luckiest person in the world!

Bartfull - just wanting to send my best wishes, and hope that you can get through this soon. I'm thrilled that your friends are helping you with the doctor's fees.

I hope you are able to get your MRI asap! You are so lucky to have such good friends! Don't hesitate to let them help! I know if I had a sick friend I would want to be able to ease their burden! Keep us posted!

"Candida" perhaps. Candida overgrowth can cause a countless number of issues including food intolerance's. I would research that as well.

This sums up what I have read myself .... I say this as I reel from my own issues and Im trying to sort it all out myself.

Gluten intolerance and issues with Candida can overlap and be devastating, unless your aware of BOTH and actively address both problems.

For what its worth.

      Brilliant news for British Coeliacs!   Colin was launched in 1990 so I am fortunate in that I was able to try this amazing chocolate swissroll cake before my diagnosis.  But the good news is he has now appeared in the Gluten Free aisle at M&S, and also is available home delivery through Ocado. https://www.marksandspencer.com/food/made-without-wheat-gluten-free-colin-the-caterpillar/p/fdp60761680

      Re: Michelin star.  To give an example, the Ritz Hotel in London has two Michelin stars.   Here's another article about Michelin stars - from our own archive.

      Very helpful @knitty kitty.  Thank you.  I am trying to remember what vitamin so alarmed my GP and I have a feeling it was A or E.  I remember reading the pills contained well over the 100 per cent RDA of whatever the vitamin was. One thing I'd love to ask you that has always intrigued me.  One day when my anxiety was completely through the roof.  I 'felt the fear and did it anyway' - a phrase other anxiety sufferers may be aware of, which I found a powerful tool in my recovery -  and visited a friend's house, even though I felt so wretched.  For some reason I craved milk and drank two whole pints of milk in quick succession while I was with her - to this day I can't think why, because I don't usually drink milk 'neat' - I like it in tea or coffee, or hot chocolate.  But I distinctly remember within a couple of hours feeling absolutely fine again for quite a while.  I've often wondered was it down to this milk, which I've since understood contains quite decent levels of B12.  Would that have really worked so fast?

      @trents  Good question.  We are strict at home, although I have to admit I've eating the odd thing  that turned out to have been made in a shared facility.  But that  is very unusual for me,  Therefore I have concluded that eating out must be the issue, which I do a lot more of now.  But I do need to put it to the test, and I hope to do this by not eating out for a few months.  I'll let you know in September when I have my next blood tests done.  😊

      Thanks very much for taking the time to write this. I have been pretty worried so appreciate reading any advice. Yes, the endoscopy will include a biopsy, and we have hopefully found a good pediatric gastro to guide us through it all.  Will also run the HLA typing - I have the swabs ready to go.
