ARCHIVED Doctors - How Do I Get Them To Listen?
neesee replied to JRock's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Too much stomach acid gives me a metallic taste in my mouth. When I was first diagnosed, I was on a heavy dose of zantac (300 mg) twice a day. It helped a lot! I hope you figure it out and feel better soon. neesee -
ARCHIVED Glutino Bagels
neesee replied to GFqueen17's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & Medications
I love Glutino bagels. Go ahead and buy them. You won't be sorry. I like mine toasted with cream cheese and chives. neesee -
I didn't have any trouble at all. The dietary department sent someone out to buy gluten-free products just for me so they would be fresh. They don't see a lot of celiac patients, so they have to stock up when they get one. Everything they served me was perfect. They also took measures to protect me from cross contamination. I was very pleased. neesee

neesee replied to minton's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
If that's the case, you don't need a RhoGam shot. If you are o neg then you need the shot. It doesn't matter what his blood type is. neesee -

ARCHIVED Itchy, Puffy, Bloodshot Eyes
neesee replied to Laurenlovespink's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
I had chronic blepheritis as a child. My Dr. prescribed an antibiotic ointment and good old vitamin A. It cleared right up. My eyes are still sensative and I still need extra beta carotene. neesee -
ARCHIVED A Pic Of My Dad During Ww2
neesee replied to neesee's topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Thank you Patti. He was a sweet, kind, wonderful dad too. My brother actually has this picture. When my dad died, my brother got dad's navy pictures and I got their wedding pictures. I was surprised to see this online however. They were young Shay! Dad was drafted before he finished high school. Thanks for looking ladies. I loved him... -
http://www.ussfletcher.org/afteng1.webp Couldn't sleep so I thought I'd do a little online searching. I found this picture of my dad on the uss Fletcher in 1945. He is the one kneeling on the right hand side. neesee

Frankly, I think you're splitting hairs. You knew what I meant. Besides, if you're already pregnant it might already be too late to correct a folic acid deficiency. Open Original Shared Link neesee

All women of childbearing age should be aware of their vitamin and mineral levels. Folic acid in particular. My son has a posterior fossa sub arachnoid cyst. He had 3 neurosugeries in 2001. It was drained then shunted and then he needed a shunt revision. Did my poor health cause this? I don't know. But I do know when I was diagnosed, I had a megaloblastic...

ARCHIVED Do You Have A Soap Recommendation (mild Warning)
neesee replied to SGWhiskers's topic in Dermatitis Herpetiformis
I know you said you didn't want to use a liquid, but I use Johnson's baby wash for personal areas. I've become very sensitive this past summer. I was on a lot of anitbiotics and they messed me up. For everything else, I like unscented Dove. neesee -
ARCHIVED What Foods Do Yall Like The Most Thats Gluten Free?
neesee replied to a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
I guess I'm lucky. My most favorite dinner in the whole world has always been roast beef with oven roasted potatoes, carrots and onions. I always chose this for my birthday dinner from the time I was just a little kid. Mom always cooked our favorite dinner for our birthdays. Now I have Namaste chocolate cake instead of gluten cake. That's the only difference... -
I think both of the candidates have good characters. I voted on the issues. Especially health care. It's shameful that a country like ours lets people go without proper medical care. We can spend billions killing innocent children and people in Iraq, but we won't take care of our own citizens medical needs. That needs to change. Unfortunately, I think health...

Then maybe it's time for people to stop endorsing his test. If we manage to shut down his business, he might just be forced to publish. That is... if he really has a valid test. neesee
-
It just seems to me, if Dr. Fine is such a great and caring doctor he would want to share his information with the rest of the medical community. That way his testing could be more widely available to the public through their own personal physicians. Instead, he chooses to keep it in some obscure little lab in Texas where he is the only one who uses the test...
-
mftnchn, I am not bashing you in any way. I will however bash Dr. Fine if I feel so inclined. I think he's a charlaton. He is making his money off the pain and misfortune of others. He needs to publish his findings to have any credibility. neesee

If you've gone through all the tests and you know it isn't something more serious, why bother with enterolab. just go gluten-free. I think the gene aspect is very interesting too. but I'm a fussbudget and would prefer to be tested by a lab that tests for both the alpha and beta alleles. After all, it isn't impossible to have celiac with just the alpha allele...

If you have never had an endoscopy, how do you know you have villi damage? It would have been cheaper just to give the gluten-free diet a try in you situation. Don't they have drs. overseas? Well if you are feeling better I don't suppose it matters whether you have the gold standard diagnosis or not. I just wouldn't have spent the money on enterolab...

Honestly? I suppose you could assume that. But that isn't necessarily your wisest option. A lot of diseases have very similar symptoms to celiac. A person's best bet is to seek out a medical doctor and get checked out properly. It could just save your life. I thought I had a pretty bad glutening this past summer. Guess what? It was diverticulitis. Bad...

[quote name='mftnchn' date='Nov 7 2008, 08:09 PM' post='482625' I would have not found out I was celiac without it.

Somehow, I think he was elected because of the content of his character. As far as I know, african-americans are still a minority race in this country. That means people of all kinds of races voted for him. I did and I'm white. It is historic because he has opened up the political world to all of us, not just white men. We are all Americans. I hope...
