    Dear Donna, I bet my adrenals are shot, too. The sugar I eat does not help. I am not eating as much of it as I was. I am getting better about it. There are a lot of things that stress the adrenals. Adrenal Gland Burnout often needs repaired by avoiding caffeine, sugar, refined carbs, and transfats. Dear Mia, How are you...

    Dear April, That is so funny you mentioned that! I get migraines. They have been much worse since my wisdom teeth on the bottom began coming in. My previous doctor thought I was experiencing silent migraines and that it was causing my nausea before. I am going to do some research on that. My neck is always stiff, no matter what position I sleep...

    Dear hathor, You are correct. Companies in the U.S. are required by law to clearly list any of the top eight allergens on food labels. This became effective in January of 2006. However, not all companies are following the law as they should be. Many companies are very dependable, such as Kraft, (includes Planters, Oscar Mayer, Louis Rich, and...

    Dear hathor, Thank you for the link! I have it in my favorites now. This could be some of my trouble. I may have Lyme, so there is no telling! I see my doctor tomorrow. I know my blood pressure gets low, and Neurally Mediated Hypotension is a good possibility as well. Dear Glutenfreefamily, My mother refuses to do a...

    Dear Julie, Thank you for the compliments! I do not feel it is selfish to assert our need for good health to others. They do not always understand how serious this condition is. I am probably only going to marry a Celiac and only date Celiacs. It is safer! Those with spouses should just have the mantra "No lovin' unless you ate gluten-free...

    Dear melmak5, I am just glad I listened to my body. That is the most important thing you can do. I used to listen to everyone around me but myself. That is when you get yourself into trouble. Always go with your instincts. Since I began doing that, I have not been steered wrong! The symptoms you are describing sound...

    Dear Happynwgal2, ROTFLMAO! I sure have suggested similar things to my family members who are inconsiderate. They deserve it. My mother got sick again today due to eating ice cream last night. I told her lactose is bad for her. Then they expect you to feel sorry for them when they are idiots! I do not want to sound cold here,...

    Dear Happynwgal2, Thank you for the compliments on my name! I was very surprised it was not already taken. When I joined the forum last year, I was sure someone would have it. I could not believe no one had it! It is a good thing I tried it! It truly is sad that so many people are hooked on drugs they have no business...

    Dear Donna, I love the sheer ones as well. We have a nice pearly white one with glitter. It is so pretty! I also like some of the wild colors. I would love all of the Psychedelic Summer colors OPI has. They have a pretty purple and white in particular that I know you would totally go for! Dear Sherry, Herxing could be what...

    Dear Kristina, Well, mostly I just listened to my body. The thing that had me so ill was not showing up! My doctor relied to heavily on the tests. I had an abdominal CT done way before that. It turns out while I was having my gallbladder ultrasound nearly three years later, the technician performing the test told me about it. The moron doctor...

    Dear sickchick, The Candida has been really messing up my system. Killing it off is hard. I cannot limit my carbs due to low blood sugar. They say you need to limit your carb intake to between 60 and 80 grams a day. That is just not doable. I am trying to cut out sugar. It is not easy. I desperately want to stop eating it, but...

    Dear melmak5, I had my gallbladder turn up fine in all three tests. Then, it turns out, those tests such as the HIDA scan and gallbladder ultrasound are only about 33 percent accurate at best. My doctor told me it was fine. If I had listened to him, mine would have ruptured inside of me! Thank God for intuition! I am glad you...

    Dear Amber, I know that LaChoy is a ConAgra company. They normally are very good to list ingredients clearly. LaChoy's Sweet and Sour Sauce is also safe. Other items can be more complicated. I myself have been perplexed by broths. I called about the Swanson broth I have and it is alright. However, due to the fact ingredients change periodically...

    Dear Carla, I think bacterial dysbiosis is a good possibility for me. Even though I take probiotics, I have Candida. Plus, you were on probiotics like crazy, and were sick from it. There are a lot of possibilities here. Lyme contributes to much of it. The other day, I ate like a whole clove of crushed garlic to make garlic bread...

    Dear sickchick, Many of Starbucks' beverages are safe. I know the Frapps are alright. You have to watch the ones with chips, though. I go to Gluten-Free in SD. It is a site for people in San Diego, but I have found it helpful for me, despite living in Indiana. I enjoy coffee, and have since I was young. When you are used...

    Dear sickchick, Thank you for checking that out for me! That is all the more reason to get some Lactaid! I will have these things often, but it would be nice on rare occasions. I can tolerate cream cheese. I ate skim mozzerella from Kraft before and did alright, but it had 0g lactose on the package. Unfortunately, it also had yeast added...

    Dear Kassandra, I bet we do have the same parents! I swear, it is ridiculous. We get into the dumbest fights over things. I hate it because it feels like all of this negative energy is around, and I cannot get well with it surrounding me. Do you ever feel like that? My parents are the first to complain about the house looking...

    Dear melmak5, It sounds like h. pylori and/or gallbladder problems. If you have a problem with the gallbladder, elevated liver enzymes can occur. Normally, that occurs when there is a stone in the common bile duct which connects to the liver. It causes bile to back up. You sound like you may have an ulcer as well. I take probiotics, but probably...

    Dear Happynwgal2, I agree our society is a bunch of pill-poppers. My mother is on so many, she is lucky to know her own name. I am glad I switched doctors. He is a kind man, but he is also better than a drug dealer! He was always offering pills. Due to misdiagnosis for years, I was doped up on every psychoactive drug...

    Dear Kassandra, It is the same here! My parents are very careless. The treat me like a nutcase when I get upset. They will just touch bread or crackers, then go fingering my stuff! There are so many things we must consider that other people do not. They do not have a clue what it is like for us. Even worse, they do not care that we get...

    Dear Kassandra, I am allergic to many grasses and trees. It is difficult to deal with. I have tried every prescription allergy medication, and they did not do anything for my symptoms. I get severe sinus headaches that are like migraines, so I take OTC sinus pills. They work well most of the time. The breaking out in a sweat...

    Dear Glutefreefamily, My mother was told by a doctor that he thought she has Meniere's. She also has high blood pressure. There are times that she has had so much trouble with it, she had to lie down. Maybe I should tell her to avoid caffeine, salt and msg to see if it helps. I am glad you mentioned this. A lot of people do not know about...

    Dear Kassandra, I know what you mean. My brother is mildly handicapped, and my mother uses this as an excuse for everything he does. He is one of those who starts fights with people and knows very well what he is doing. The only thing he actually has trouble with is math and understanding money. He treats me like a hypochondriac when he comes...

    Dear Happynwgal2, That is a good policy to have! I am very cautious about meds as well. I just never have tolerated them well. So, I figure I should avoid going on any that I do not absolutely need. You know, none of those allergy meds ever worked for me anyway. Sincerely, ...
