    I asked my doctor to test for delayed food allergies (IgG antibodies). She's a regular MD, but with a holistic bent. I did my testing with Metametrics lab - 90 foods for $200. Diagnos-Techs lab is also good. Lamb also showed up on my IgG tests, but I rarely eat it. I definitely think I have/had leaky gut and multiple food intolerances. I've been getting...

    My doc always retested everything. Clear/hold, whatever! Sheesh! I had a disaster experience at a restaurant last night. I was majorly PMSing , though I didn't know until today when Aunt Flo came. Anyhoo, went to a restaurant that had a "gluten-free" menu. DH said, they pamper you tonight, and I said, yeah, right . On the gluten free menu,...

    I have read a study that compared some of the new juices, like mangosteen and acai (sp?). I don't have the article in front of me, but it was from a separate non-profit that studies claims like this. The upshot of the article was that you're better off saving your money. You can't get enough of the good stuff in drinking mangosteen juice to get the health...

    I just found out I have an intolerance to corn syrup! Corn syrup is really bad stuff - highly processed. It's bad for colitis and IBS. It's written about in this book: "The Self-Help Way to Treat Colitis and Other IBS Conditions" by De Lamar Gibbons, M.D. Not everything in this book seems accurrate to me, but my doctor thinks this guy is on to something...

    How do you do that multiple quote thing from multiple people. Is it time consuming to do? I took Flagyl many many times when I lived in West Africa for 2 years in the Peace Corps. The only negative side effect I remember was this metalic taste in my mouth. I had amoeba parasites every other month. Finally, at the end of my 2 years, I thought I had...

    Primal Defense also has questionable gluten sources, like barley grass and oat grass. I was so mad when I saw that. I used to take it, but am not now just to be on the safe side. Now I've heard there is no gluten in the vegetative parts of these plants, but how do they make sure that no seeds get in there? There's nothing on the package to say it's gluten...

    What did you think about the fructose stuff? Didn't you say you had a problem with fructose? How did you know? I don't have a problem with fruit, as far as I know, but thought the corn syrup response was interesting. Claire

    Hi Everyone! I had to skip a few pages of everyones posts, but I think I got the gist of what's going on. Donna, Peace, and Laura, I hope you are all feeling better! In my last episode of "The BioSET Files", Dr. F cleared me for gluten (again) and dairy (1st time). Last night's BioSET episode found that I did not clear for the gluten and I did clear...

    I have mitral valve prolapse and supraventricular tachycardia - both minor heart problems - and was diagnosed 20 years ago. However, dentists routinely want you to take antibiotics before they clean your teeth if you have MVP because they are afraid that bacteria they dislodge during the teeth cleaning will get into your bloodstream and attach to your mitral...

    Hi Rachel, Your last post was interesting. I think it's good you are going on the drugs for the candida. Might as well whack it good! I also agree about the ice cream. I think our modern dairy is bad news for anyone, whether they tolerate it or not, but my dairy rant will have to wait for another day, as I really should be in bed right now!! I also...

    Jerk Hi Lauralee, Someone may have already answered your question about BioSET, but I haven't had time to read everyone's responses. BioSET is a treatment that was developed by a woman in California to treat allergies mainly. I looked to see if there were any BioSET practitioners in Canada, but I didn't see any listed on the Open Original...

    Isn't it weird when we start thinking of foods that we react to as bad? I always thought that isn't normal. That's why I wanted somekind of treatment for all my food intolerances. I mean, it just isn't normal to be cutting out all these foods from a person's diet. I survived another cross country ski trip today . It was fun - nothing too steep,...

    You can send your samples to Enterolab even though you are in Canada. I have a Canadian friend who ordered the tests from Enterolab there. Since your gut was damaged from the gluten, chances are that you are intolerant to other foods besides gluten. This is what happens when you have leaky gut syndrome. Because of the damage from the celiac disease...

    Donna, interesting first BioSET appointment. Sound like you have a lot to work on, but it's workable! Lauralee, Welcome! Today was a busy day, so this may be a little short. Tomorrow is probably going to be busy as well. Yesterday started out another snowy day in Colorado! I had the 1st appointment with Dr. F. We spent the entire time going...

    I don't know about Patti, but I tried all kinds of natural treatments to get rid of my fibroids. I even flew to NYC from Colorado to see Dr. Warshowsky, who wrote the book "Healing Fibroids, A Doctor's Guide to a Natural Cure". I think overall it's a very good book, and he is a good doctor. He specializes in holistic gynecology. Before I saw him, I was...

    Great info Rachel! I learn a lot from your posts. I just read this to my hubby. He has osteopenia and kidney stones, and he has had urine tests that show high calcium leaching out of his body. His doctors didn't have any good explanations, and just gave him calcium supplements . DH seemed to be agreeable to this info, and he is a skeptical chemist...

    Well, the adrenal fatigue could be the reason that your body doesn't tolerate sugar. I thought for sure I would have Candida, but my stool test didn't show it either. The weird thing is that when I was getting tested for parasites and pathogens by my GP, she never ordered a Candida test . I was so mad that she overlooked that. Carla, thanks for...

    As far as I know, if you have to take antibiotics, getting them intraveneously is the way to go as it bypasses your gut and doesn't kill all the good bacteria the way taking them orally would. Good luck Miamia! Rachel, even though Candida sucks, at least you know what's causing your leaky gut and can work on it. So, what does this mean for liquid ice...

    Happy New Year everyone. I've been taking advantage of all this great snow in Colorado and brushing up on my cross country skiing the last three days. This is the first year I've done any for a couple of years. I am sadly out of shape. Must go to bed. I need a vacation from my vacation! BTW, I have not resensitized to any of the foods I've been cleared...

    Yeah! Good point! Who wants to eat soap anyways ? Well thanks! I'm actually there myself, too scared about eating all these foods that I've been reacting to in the past. My doc tells me I need to test them. What am I going to do if he tells me he clears the gluten? I mean, it's so engrained in me at this point not to eat it. I haven...

    I'm seeing a Doctor of Oriental Medicine (same as the BioSET guy I've talked about). This guy is pretty well known in that field and has written a couple of books on the topic. Anyhoo, he told me that antibiotics aren't effective for the bacterial dysbiosis I had. Not that this guy is rabidly against antibiotics, which I expected after reading his Open...

    Hey Donna, I just noticed that your signature says you have Klebsiella. This was the bacteria I was found to have in October. Actually, on my lab test, they grouped it with the Klebsiella/Enterobacter/Serratia bacteria. I also had alpha hemolytic Streptoccus. Bacterial dysbiosis by any other name would smell just as bad ! They were really...

    I forgot that I wanted to share one of the supplements that my acu put me on that is really helping my gut. Its "Probioplex Intensive Care, Bioactive Immunoglobulins & Prebiotic Factors" from Metagenics. I think that because my secretory IgA was so low, that this is helping my intestines with the extra immunoglobulins. Even though it has whey, I'm...

    Hi Peacenlove! I'm the other person doing BioSET treatments right now. I'm cruising through the treatments pretty quickly. I've had about 6 treatments, and we're working on gluten right now! I only had two treatments for phenols and other stuff before going on to foods. You are right that the food clearing is the fun part! Unfortunately, I don...

    Here's a website that lists information on which vaccines contain thimerosal, which is the preservative that contains mercury. I won't get a flu shot because most of them have thimerosal. I was forced to have a MMR (measels, mumps, rubella) shot in grad school, even though I had had vaccines for measels and rubella, and I had mumps as a kid. It wasn't...
