    So in light of my recent posts, I saw my regular dentist today and he wants to replace one of my fillings because it has worn away from the tooth. I explained I wanted a non mercury one put back in. Of course, he gave me the run around but agreed. Now I'm worried about the mercury exposure when he takes it out especially with my probable mercury toxicity...

    Thanks Carla for your help. I did call my nutritionist and she highly recommends me being tested for mercury before treating it. She recommended a blood test, though. I am assuming my regular doctor could just run a test covered by insurance. Would that be accurate enough? I trust my natropath's diagnosis but it would be nice to have it confirmed. ...

    Thank you Carla and Rachel. My dilemma is I don't know where to go to get help. I live in Wisconsin. Right now I could just take the "drops" that my natropath is offering, which is sort of like chelation but on a homepathic level. I think he said that would take 6 months. Do I even bother looking to test for lyme since I have such few of the symptoms...

    Thank you both for your help. The 2 blood tests you mention, would that be covered by insurance? I'm sure my doc would write the prescription but I'm not sure where to get it done. And if I have this virus, he said it is called FLAVIVIRUS, then how do I get rid of that? I also have very few of the lyme disease symptoms. If I have mercury, what do I do...

    For those of you who already responded to my questions about health: I emailed my natropath telling him I am not any better and basically I need him to narrow down what he thinks it is. He uses biophysics/energetic testing and treats with homepathic type drops. He seems to have nailed it on the head what is wrong, but the drops aren't working. Ugh!...

    Carla, He said he worked with people who showed up Lyme just recently and I'm showing none of the markers pointing to that. So....?!? Maybe treating what he suggested is it with some other means. Just don't know...

    Thank you all for your replies and welcoming me. The natropath I see uses biophysics/energy testing (www.nutrienergetics.com). It is sooo hard to explain, but I trust his diagnoses. I just don't think his treatment is working for me. The drops he uses are homopathic/energy clearing in nature. I've known many, many people who have gone to him after...

    I am on this site everyday, but have not posted yet to this thread. I don't know where else to go.... My whole life I have always felt "sick". In 2001 I was diagnosed hypothyroid. I thought I finally figured out why I just never felt good (depressed, insomnia, fatigued). I was put on synthyroid. After 6 years and many meds to fight my symptoms, I started...

    Thank you happygirl. This is interesting that's for sure. Would you know how one tested if you were low? Would I just start supplementing with it to see if it helps? This must be an amino acid like l-glutamine right?

    Hi there, I also have adrenal fatigue and went down the road of cortef and natural adrenal extracts etc. Nothing worked for me and the cortef actually made me worse! I think my multiple food allergies and lack of absorption is the problem. So right now I am working on those. Anytime you have a food allergy, it wrecks havoc on your adrenals. Hope this...

    Thank you both so much for this information. I will try these ideas and hope for the best.

    Hi all, I am now cutting out gluten, dairy, and all grains, including corn and rice. Before I was using blends to bake with that had rice flour in it and now I don't know what to do?! I know I can use almond flour, but it is sooo expensive. Do I just make a mix of almond flour, tapioca, potato?! Would that be disastrous?

    I was diagnosed by enterolab.

    Thank you everyone for your input. I will stop crushing them and possibly look into various liquid forms.

    Hi Lori , I just joined and was reading your post on Amy's. I called them and they clean all their machines before making anything gluten free. By law they have to put it in small print about their factories also making foods containing wheat. Amy's foods are SAFE that say no gluten.

  17. LoriG
    Just curious- with malabsorption issues, is it better to find liquid supplements or crush them for better absorption? Or am I even wasting my money and nothing is getting absorbed whether swallowed, crushed, or liquid?

    Sorry it took me awhile to reply. I just googled Hershey's Chocolate Chip Cookie Recipe and used that one. Tasted just like the real thing!
  19. LoriG
    You are all welcome! I hope you like it! Last night we had company over and no one knew the chocolate chip cookies were gluten-free! I love when that happens! Happy Baking!

    I am just so pleased to have found this flour, which was recommended by my doctor of all places Anyway, I made their pizza crust and it was just like the real thing. Then I decided to try out plain old fashioned recipes like the Hershey's Brownie one and the chocolate chip cookie one. All I did was take the recipe and substitute the Tom Sawyer's blend...

    I would double check the Renew Life Ultimate Flora. I didn't buy it because it said "could contain traces of milk" and I'm dairy free. I didn't want to take the chance. I now take one called Flora More by Renew Life which lists the common allergens on the label as not being in there. Hope this helps.

    Thanks all! What companies do you NOT trust?
  24. LoriG
    Hi there, I am having a huge issue with cross contamination and I've been playing detective. I don't have immediate, obvious gluten symptoms so I am trying to stick with companies/brands/products I know are safe. For instance, I've read people getting in trouble with Frito Lay's corn chips or Garden of Eatin' tortilla chips. Also, I eat Bob's Red Mill...

    I also am hypothyroid (hashi's) and was diagnosed 6 years ago. I know the celiac caused the thyroid disease and I was focusing all on that these years. I just found out I have celiac's so that makes sense why it was so hard to regulate my thyroid while I was eating gluten. I am currently on armour and hope my thyroid gets better or I need less meds with...
