    ARCHIVED Doctors Who Have No Clue

    IrishHeart replied to BabsV's topic in Doctors

    This is a good idea, Shroomie!!! Others have been in your shoes, hon and may offer you some good advice. Sorry I can only imagine your frustration and sadness while trying to protect your child.

    I agree with Cara This is not the first time you have posted about these mean kids in your church group. They keep doing this stuff to you. They sound like 6 year olds. You need a better group of friends who treat you with respect. Otherwise, this is just going to continue. If you feel you MUST stay with this group (why, I do not know...

    Guacamole, mango salsa, Beef Tacos and flan here! I love Cinco de Mayo!

    sweetie, it's the same one! 2 this week?? are you guys getting fat yet?

    Some of these are more healthy than others. Just some ideas that I know are safe. Cozy Shack Rice Pudding or Tapioca cups (in the dairy section) All natural applesauce cups Gluten-free cookies or muffins (Bake them or buy them.) Pamela's Baking Mix is versatile and good for cookies, baked goods. There are many options (check the recipe and baking section...

    here you go! I think she charges a tiny fee for the list. Underground Cape Cod Open Original Shared Link She will even talk with you via email. She has done extensive work compiling the list and blogging about it after she eats in these places. I plan on using it myself when I visit family and friends on the Cape this summer. I had many a...

    I thought Wicked was one of the best books I have read in the last few years (and I read a lot of books). I hated for it to end.

    Yup, that's good stuff! Sadly, none of mine ever makes it to the freezer because we are oinkers in this house. Good idea to make it into cupcakes. How much did you shorten the cook time? A suggestion. If you use the espresso powder, do not use the vanilla too. They serve the same purpose and using both will alter the taste quite a bit. Sylvia...

    Yes, we can! and good for you, Diana--enjoy your steady progress towards good health! I'm am like you, happy to be healing, although my progress is very slow. I have stopped mourning what was lost to this disease and focus on what lies before me. FWIW, from all I have learned from people with severe DH, it does die down in time. I know how maddening...

    Yes, a fudgy brownie! Sorry about the LI --I had that, too...for a LOOONg time, but now, I can tolerate it . Maybe you will get it back? Hope so.Best wishes.

    So glad you liked it!! I do it with fresh whipped cream and berries myself...yum! (and makes for tight jeans! )

    No, Tom, I'm sorry, but in response to the OP, all I said was "In MY opinion, I THINK the tests are a waste of money." She asked "What was YOUR experience." I gave mine. I cited the article, culled from the articles posted on THIS website by admin --as something for people to mull over--that maybe IgG testing may not be accurate. I did not...
  14. IrishHeart
    The OP asked "how accurate were these IgG tests for you guys?" I told her my experience. I provided a few articles. People can do what they want with the information. I fear you think I am arguing against you for some reason. I assure you, I am not. I am all out of info. Whatever anyone wants to do, they should do it. Some people think...

    yes, Raven! the BIG Bang Theory is hilarious--they are very funny and I can goof on my scientist hubs at the same time!! And I never miss Fringe.

    FWIW, I did find this Open Original Shared Link

    I read Dr. Guadalino's quote as saying that he did not see how food intolerances are caused by eating a repetitive diet; thus overloading the immune system and the body responds by rejecting those foods. He does not mention intestinal permeability in regards to celiac. I think there is no doubt that celiac guts are"leaky" to some degree. (IMHO) ...

    The Lacuna by Barbara Kingsolver and a biography of the Roosevelts by Doris Goodwin. I have about 20 books piled up here... Watching: The Killing on AMC (dark) and Game of Thrones (even darker and bloodier) and waiting for Boardwalk Empire and Downton Abbey to return (they take too long between seasons!) TV series I never miss: NCIS and...

    Carebear, I think in the end, seeing how we react to a food is the only way to tell. It's the delayed responses that are the bugger to sort out. I have no IgE allergies except dust mites (so the tests all say), yet you should see my eyes, face and throat swell when I eat too much shellfish. As I mentioned above, no IgG results either, except soy...

    O M G!!! Colleen--that's FANTASTIC !! I have been wondering how you are doing. You stopped writing posts and I didn't want to bug you! You really struggled for a while for there and I worried about you so much! You did it!! yaaaay! I knew you could do it. I couldn't be more happy for you!!! hugs, IH
  21. IrishHeart
    I may be wrong (won't be the first time or the last, no doubt ) but I think many celiacs tend to have "leaky guts" i.e. increased gut permeability because of the increased zonulin protein production in some people when they eat wheat. I talked about this with my GI doc. He says he thinks so, too. Geesh. I'm hoping mine "seals up" pretty soon. Open...

    Thanks, Tom! The posted article (in the publications section here) lopped off those paragraphs : "Meanwhile, nearly everyone who takes these tests is told he or she has some kind of intolerance. One Florida lab boasts that "95 percent of the people we've tested show that one or more foods they regularly eat cause a toxic reaction in their...

    Your story is encouraging Good for you! You can do anything! (even quit smoking) and yes, thanks, I am slowly getting there, too. I can walk 20 minutes without gasping for breath and I do 10 bicep curls & 10 tricep curls with 2 lbs. weights. Not bad for a girl who could not open a jar or use a wire whisk for a while there! Stay strong and...

    Since my friend constantly battles C.diff, microscopic colitis and her Celiac, I would NEVER definitively rule out celiac disease given your symptoms. IMHO

    FWIW, here are Dr. Weil's thoughts on this. (since the maintream medical community does not seem to believe in their reliability). If people feel they are useful, then by all means, they should use them. "With certain exceptions (such as sensitivities to lactose and gluten, both of which have a genetic basis), food intolerances are often highly individual...
