Dear Rachel, As far as I know, if they had taken a biopsy, it was in the colon. After I got home, I had the printed out report of the testing done. There was no mention of a biopsy being taken, especially not during the endoscopy. I assumed they had taken a biopsy, but considering the content of the report, it is doubtful. Thank you for posting...

Dear Rachel, That would explain why the GI doctors missed mine. I had a colonoscopy, endoscopy, intercolisis, gastric emptying study and blood work done when I was up at IU Med in 2001. I bet anything they did not do a biopsy, because that GI doctor was convinced there was no way I had Celiac. She also told me you cannot poop out food whole...

Dear Rachel, Those antibody tests do not seem to mean much. My blood work was negative when I had it tested for Celiac in late 2000. Obviously, that was not very accurate. It is horrible that we spent $300 on that test! I am not sure, but my reactions could have to do with amines and other similar components as well. Some people have said... -

Dear Sherry, TF probably is something not many bodies like if they are highly toxic. Anyone with metals has to be cautious about that. I hope my supplements set alright, too! I need to call and ask about the risk of cross-contamination. Being highly-sensitive, I cannot risk even a microscopic speck of gluten getting into my system. This... -

Dear Carla, Thank you for the compliments on the hair! I am going to go blonder next time. We had to lighten it gradually. It needs a trim already. Everyone else has really liked it so far, too. I figured that was the case with disability. There is Social Security as well. My cousin got it despite never working. I honestly do not... -

Dear Andrea, Waiting for test results drives everyone crazy! It makes you a nervous wreck. I think I am just more worried that the lab will mess it up. That is my primary concern at the moment. Hopefully, everything will go smoothly. I hate going to the hospital for blood work, because it takes them three hours at times before they get it done... -

Dear Andrea, My body does not like food, let alone supplements or medications! I certainly am glad to be posting again. It feels strange not being caught up with everyone. I miss you guys! I hope you got over that terrible cold/flu you had. The WBs really will be helpful. Thank goodness others on here can help me read them... -

Dear Everyone, Sorry I have not been reading along and posting. Between doctors' visits and trying to clean up this house, getting down to the computer has not been as easy as it used to be. I really wish I had a laptop. That would really help. I am behind on e-mails, PMs, and everything else on the planet! I was very excited... -

Dear Sherry, I read something interesting today. We get Woman's World magazine every week. It is one of our favorites. One article was talking about ancient health secrets, which included the Mayans' ways. Avocado was used for moisturizing skin, and it has a lot of glutathione! I always heard about it having healthy fats, but never glutathione... -

Dear Julie, I am definitely glad the appointment went so well. I had been very nervous about it. All I did was worry. The supplements are worth a try. I wanted to call Monday and be sure that they were to be taken in place of the Prilosec. He is not going to be there, though. Wow! Your uncles are tall! My grandfather on my... -

Dear Nora, Yes, mold does have its uses! For the most part though, they are harmful. This is especially so for those of us with Candida and mold allergies. I even have a skin reaction to it, which may explain the constant on-again off-again hives. I am sure whatever is in our home is making everyone ill. Thank you for the... -

Dear Everyone, I am only responding to what I read on this last page, since catching up with all the reading I have missed recently would be impossible. Responding to it all would take up to much room! So, for the sake of brevity, I decided to respond only to the most current posts from page 1994. My appointment with the chiropractor went well... -

Dear Everyone, I have been reading my spirituality books, so that is what I have been up to. My eyes cannot take staring at the computer much, especially now that I have been reading so fast. I hope to at least skim the last twenty pages so I do not miss anything important. The books are due back at the library Monday. I have to hurry up and... -

Dear Everyone, I missed you, too! I am so happy you enjoyed my poetry! Plus, tom even caught the humor behind the puns! As far as the seeds go for the flowers, I believe tom's suggestion is worth a try. We used that exact experiment in school two or three times. The worst that happens is nothing! I did not get to... -

Dear Nikki, I am glad you enjoyed my poem! It just came to me as I was sitting in the kitchen Friday morning. Divine inspiration always comes at odd times.

Dear Janet, Thank you for the compliments! It is so funny you mentioned using the old commode as a planter, because Dad was thinking about that! Recycling is important.

Dear Everyone, Hello and glad to see everyone is as silly as ever! We recently got our new toilet after over a year of plumbing issues. It turns out, the mold forming in the bowl clogged the small holes that fill it up with water after flushing. The water here is so toxic! Naturally, a celebration was in order regarding our new addition... -

Dear Joy, You are very welcome! Our budget is very tight, so we only can buy what we can afford. My gluten-free, yeast-free bread is an occasional treat. So are those gluten-free cookies like Oreos. The good thing is, Reese Cups are safe and affordable. I just got some Breyer's Lactose-Free Ice Cream, and it is so good! They have real vanilla... -

Dear Joy, I know your son will love those cookies! The ingredients are also easy to find. That is important as well. I sent you the recipe, so it should be in your message box! Gluten-free food can be great! Bland is not in my vocabulary. If need be, I will talk to your son myself! Just PM me to set up a time. I want him to... -

Dear Joy, I must commend you on your efforts. I wish my family was as understanding. Due to being sick, I am stuck living at home at 25 years old. Despite being paranoid careful, I still manage to be glutened periodically due to my parents' refusal to go gluten-free. Since this is a genetic disease, I worry they too, may have Celiac. The... -

Dear Robin, Hello, and welcome to the forum! Multiple food restrictions are daunting. Fortunately, so many of us here have them. Everyone is more than willing to help, so do not hesitate if you have concerns. You mentioned onions and eggs, which are both high in sulfur. This could be significant. Do you have bad reactions to broccoli, cabbage...
