    Carla, I can't wait to hear about your and Chloe's appt! Jin, Thank you for the email! I appreciate the time you take to write your columns! Paula, I don't know what you could do. Maybe an Epsom salt bath?

    Nikki, Thank you for the link. I read somewhere that when lymphocytes are off balance, causing lymphocitic colitis, that it can be "fixed" with a gluten-free diet. I thought that was interesting. I wonder how much my GI Dr. knows about this kind of stuff??

    Fiddle Faddle, I don't have any idea what may have caused any of that, but I just wanted to say how sorry I am for your son and everyone who was affected by the loss of this little boy. That is just so sad. ((((((hugs)))))) Rachel, Yes, it does still suck that you're sick, BUT you're right, a low CD57 on top of it would have sucked even more...

    I listened to the thing Rachel posted also, and one thing I thought was interesting was the test d-arabanitol. I actually had that done because Dr. H ordered it for me, but I thought some people on here may be interested in having it done. He said it is a huge deal as far as diagnosing Candida.

    Sherry, I am not worried. It did stain my skin though, so I have a nice pink spot on my bottom! Rachel, That's great most of your symptoms are mostly unrelated to Lyme. Donna, I looked up the other numbers. It basically means that my body is too weak to produce antibodies to infection, etc. and the other one shows it's fighting infection...

    I just got the mail and I got my test results from Dr. H's office for the C D-57. Guess what?!??! It was 24!!!!!! My mom started to cry because she was so relieved in a strange sense. I'm so happy in a weird sense because it's another test to prove that something really *is* going on! Donna, I guess you can add my results too! Does anyone...

    Paula, Lol! That's true that an anti-candida diet is hard, especially if he won't stick to a gluten-free one. I know that I won't EVER cheat on a gluten-free diet, but an anti-candida diet is SO hard for me to do. I may look into a mini trampoline for me. It just might be a good idea, but I will run it my my LLMD first.

    Paula, I read somewhere once that hypoglycemia symptoms are sometimes being caused by candida. That could be what's going on for your son. Just a thought. Carla, Do you just but a mini trampoline for rebounding? That may be a good idea. Everyone, Last night I did 5 minutes of an exercise video and about 30 seconds on a stair master that...

    It's kind of a long story, but I was wondering if anyone knew about Lymphocitic Colitis and Celiac? My GI dr. suggested I have LC, but she doesn't think I have Celiac. I don't really care if I have Celiac or a gluten intolerance, doesn't really matter to me. But, I was wondering if Dr's diagnose LC instead of Celiac? Is is misdiagnosed? Thanks...I appreciate...

    I have something like this, but the allergist said it's a mild form of ezcema. He told me to use amlactin also, but it didn't help. Also, going gluten-free didn't do anything for it either. Eventually I may see a dermatologist.

    I just wanted to say watch out for the amount of soy she puts in her diet to replace the dairy. For me, I was df for a while and then soy became a problem. As far as the meat thing, I would also suggest that she gets used to the gluten-free, df first and then eliminate more foods. Breakfast ideas: Eggs with turkey bacon Quinoa flakes with...

    I am dairy free, and I feel that way I don't have to wonder if my symptoms are being caused by dairy since it's just always out of my diet. Dairy could be causing the bloating for sure. Also, I think it feeds yeast. I really don't have any answers to your bloating question since I am still trying to figure it out. Have you tried an anti-candida diet...

    Gentleheart, I know that a GI dr. wanted me to go back on gluten for a biopsy and we asked the LLMD what he thought and he got realllllly mad and said "DON'T DO IT!!" He said that you need to avoid the foods that are causing problems, but the goal is that eventually once you fix what's causing the intolerance (ie Lyme, etc.) then you should be able to...

    Gentleheart, I just wanted to jump in here with Carla and say...LOOK INTO LYME!!! I think it's reallly under diagnosed and is a big problem. I thought Celiac was definitely the cause of my health problems, but then after being on the gluten-free diet, I got better for a while and then I started to get really bad. I never would have thought Lyme...

    Donna, Wow! 2 Pages! My LLMD just told me I needed them and sent me on my way...lol! I must say though, they are getting easier. I don't panic for as long anymore. Actually today I swabbed the area and then just injected it, right away, without panicking, lol. Today actually I had a weird thing happen, I got a bubble of the medicine that came out...

    I was just reading something about methyl b-12 shots, and you know how my urine turns pink/red after I have one of the injections... read this: METHYLCOBALAMIN (Methyl B12) Methylcobalamin is a prescription drug derived from vitamin B12. This can help to heal problems with the central and peripheral nervous system, improve depressed immune function...

    Rachel, That's interesting about your dreams. I seemingly react to everything I eat, so I don't think it has anything to do with that, or I'd have dreams every night...lol! Paula, That sucks you didn't sleep well...that's no fun at all! I didn't fall asleep until about 12.45, but I think that's because of my 3 hour nap. But it doesn't really matter...

    That's interesting. They didn't give me any instructions other than "insert into the buttocks at a 45 degree angle." Lol! I think it would have freaked me out if there was more info...lol. I hope that that's not a problem for you. That's scary. I once went on a new BCP and I just got realllly thirsty and started peeing a lot, so I called my...

    Wow Rachel....you had PIZZA!!! OMG! That's realllly crazy, but great for you! What were your reactions to gluten before you went gluten-free? Since I don't know if I have Celiac or not, I am too afraid to eat gluten...but I think the reaction wouldn't be worth it! LOL!

    LOL!!!! People have NO idea how to drive in the rain. They don't realize you have to slow down a little bit otherwise you'll get into accidents...instead they speed thinking it's fun to watch the car/pedestrian next o you get soaking wet! I really wanted to go to Whole Foods to get a couple things, but I decided against it. Also, the phenergan has...

    I used to use it all the time! I loved it, but I also can't tolerate any other milk of any kind, so it was great! Everyone, I just woke up from a 3 hour nap! I must have been really tired, but i did sleep 12 hours last night. Hmmm...must be the yucky weather, or the phenegran?! I had to force myself out of bed otherwise I would have kept sleeping...

    Ahhh, no such luck so far!! It itches SO BADLY! LOL! I wish I could itch it though! It's so annoying!
  23. confusedks
    Andrea, That's great! Everyone, We just changed the dressing on my PICC line and it itches so badly!!! I am hoping that once I post about it, the itching will stop! LOL

    Offthegrid, I am taking a probiotic that is dairy free, but when you read the label it says that it contains dairy and soy! I was totally freaked out because I am so ultra sensitive to anything with either of those ingredients. I have been on it for a couple weeks now and I have no problem whatsoever! A lot of probiotics will have traces of dairy in them...
  25. confusedks
    Yes! I can finally eat now! It's amazing!!! I guess it's good you don't have D, but that sucks you have C! LOL! This is the problem I have, I get really bad C, then I get awful D. There's not middle ground. I am actually going to try what you suggested about the ball. Sounds like a good idea.
