This is only day 2 of Candidase. So I will let you know. So far, no die-off. Then again, I only have very mild elevations. I am hoping this alone just gets me back in check. I never had problems with it before. Also, Colloidal Silver kills them very effectively. But it is not for long term use. 6 weeks tops would be all I would do. Red Clover tea...

It was never my intention to offend anyone. I apologize to anyone who has been offended by my verbiage in this thread. I have asked the moderators to remove any offensive posts. Perhaps my discontent with Doctors should be left off of this forum.

I showed some very mild candida in my last stool and a very mild reaction with IgG ELISA. So I am taking a product called: Candidase Open Original Shared Link I did some research and it makes a lot of sense to me the way it works. Since I am very "mild" with it, this should take care of it pretty well. And at the same time taking lots of pre and...

You can also make them with other grains. Teff is interesting. You can try mixing amaranth with sorghum. That tastes a bit like corn to me. Which is nice cuz I cant have corn.

I like to see articles that bring awareness. So hope "gluten" gets added to the list of foods that manufacturers must disclose. There is one line about how many people only "think" they have an intolerance and that for them it is a "lifestyle choice" to eat foods free of certain ingredients. Dont agree with that. Who would choose this lifestyle? But...

Look Im not going to argue with you. 97 degrees isnt normal. Especially if you are freezing in the heat of the Florida Summer. Male doctors tend to dismiss female patients. And I see a gender biased response in here too. When your temperature used to run close to 98.6 and it drops to barely 97 and you are freezing all of the time and your Endocrinologist...
-
Those charts do not really tell us anything. Of course different studies will report different findings. Of course. What I want to know is the status of every single person's thyroid in those studies. They say xxxx "healthy individuals". Yeah right!! What is "healthy"?? If you have dealt with hypothyroid and correlated it to your body temperature...

ARCHIVED Vitamin Deficiency Neuropathy
ShayFL replied to a topic in Post Diagnosis, Recovery & Treatment of Celiac Disease
B vitamins have not helped my neuropathy. I take them everyday (not more than 100 B6), full spectrum and 10000 B12). Have been for a year. I have recently discovered (last 4 months) that I am severely deficient in Vitamin D and I have very low Ferritin (Iron). Both of these can contribute to neuropathy. So under my doctor's supervision, I am now taking... -
And even with symptoms, I found both Endocrinologists I saw COMPLETELY USELESS. Worse than regular doctors by far. When I was extremely hypthyroid and went to one, he said my labs were "normal" so I was fine. It was just stress. When I asked him why my body temperature was not even 97. He said you run cold. If you are every 98.6 then consider yourself...

My god. I just dont let them cut me anymore. I had laparoscopy too in my 20's. Adhesions were causing my pain, but they expected endo cuz of family history. I had appendecomy, tonsilectomy, molars surgically removed. When my gyno wanted to mutilate my cervix, I drew the line. Im done with cut and burn therapy.

ARCHIVED Chronic Stomach Pain--while Gluten-free
ShayFL replied to healthynewman's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Shannon...could you have picked up a bug? -
I get a lot of recipes FREE from Bob's. And I dont know why more dont mention it here: Open Original Shared Link Everything I have tried from his site has been good so far.
-
Most people do not feel good until their Free T-3 is in the upper range with some needing to exceed it a little (like me). I am just over. But no signs of hyper at all. My doctor monitors me closely. She allows my TSH to be suppressed and my T-3 to be at the very top because it gets rid of my symptoms. Cutting back on my dose of Armour bring symptoms...

ARCHIVED Anyone In Tampa Fl? Dog Lovers A Plus :)
ShayFL posted a topic in Introduce Yourself / Share Stuff
Hi Everyone, 2 months gluten-free under my belt. Improvement is very slow, but there is some. Looking for others who might want to socialize. -
It takes time. And forget what the doctors say. I was told I was too thin to be hypothyroid. And I am and now properly medicated.
-
Yes yes yes!! And get an ANA too and have him test your thyroid antibodies. Look at your lab results and make sure your TSH is below 2. Most do best when it is below 1. I have to have mine suppressed to be symptom free from Thyroid issues. Be pro-active. ALWAYS get copies of your labs. It is your legal right.
-
Tom I tried dry skillet, oiled skillet, broiled, baked and nothing made them taste good to me. I dunno. Mabye I shouldnt have said they were nasty., But since I really find them so, I didnt want her first experiences gluten-free to be awful and her want to give up. I told her her how to make yummy thin pancakes that would replace tortillas.
-
Dry skin is often a sign of fatty acid imbalance. Not enough Omega 3. Are you guys taking fish oil? Flax? Hemp? Chia seed? Walnuts? You need to include a lot of these in your diet to counteract all of the Omega-6s we get. Americans eat wayyyyyy too much Omega-6 which is found in high amounts in every other kind of oil except those above. Other...

It is hard. I dont think it was as hard for me as some because I have been chipping away at my issues for over 12 years. I have tried various diets and have gotten used to "doing without" in many ways. So gluten free. No big deal. I love to cook and bake and I am not doing without at all. But today I was at a local health food store and ran into...

I agree. Rather than complain or turn down a friends invitation. Just take your own food. There might be some awkwardness early on, but people get used to it. You can even say. I dont want to focus on my disease, but I do want to focus on everything good in my life. Like my friendship with you. So I hope you will always include me in the fun, but...

ARCHIVED Different Levels Of Intolerance?
ShayFL replied to Alz's topic in Coping with Celiac Disease
Im thinking of good replies when a Doctor says "It's all in your head".... 1. Yeah, so is your co-pay. Because I am not paying for this kind of service. 2. Of course it's in my head. Last time I checked a medical book, it says the brain controls everything. Where did you go to medical school? 3. I wonder if you would say the same thing if I... -
Please post your Thyroid labs. What many doctors call "normal" is not!!! I went through many doctors before I found my current one, who looked at my labs and then talked to me before she declared, "You are hypothyroid". All labs were "normal". How did she know? By listening to the patient. Imagine that!! She could also see that while my Free T-3 was...
-
Anything below 98.6 give or take a smidge is not normal during the day. It drops some at night, but should be 97.8 or higher when you wake up and IMO should never be below 97.8 at anytime of the day. It indicates thyroid issues. The thyroid is your internal thermostat. TSH should be less than 2 with most people feeling good with it being 1 or less....

"Patterning". I had physical therapy for a bit years ago to help with my disequilibrium. And one of the things the therapist told me to do was that whenever I made a movement that caused vertigo, to keep doing it until I no longer felt vertigous making that movement. It was so hard. But I did it. My first instinct used to be to panic if I felt vertigo...

Im at about the same mark as you Nan. My neuro symptoms are up and down. Some progress and then I am thrown for a loop. Like you, I am pretty anal, so no CC. Although, I had some fruit from Whole Foods the other day that was "pre-sliced" and got bad neuropathy afterward. I concluded that it was sliced at the same time that they were mixing bread dough...
