    Oooh, this former English Prof. loves me a good oxymoron. A+ !! :lol:
  2. IrishHeart
    I agree about the doctors and their lack of knowledge. In 12+ YEARS of seeing doctors, specialists, having many tests run, scoped, prodded and poked, spending thousands and thousands of dollars ...developing a hundred or so bizarre and crippling symptoms, suffering multiple miscarriages,burning nueropathy, shrinking down to bare bones and losing my hair...

    aw, so Sorry, sweetie. I truly know how difficult and disappointing this is-- having experienced them myself --and I pray for your health and comfort. Take good care of yourself.
  4. IrishHeart
    No, nor have I. EXCEPT one gal on here said she had an issue with this threelac because of one of the ingredients. And there is a debate about this product (which is 50-50 pro/con) on the internet. I read about it myself before deciding which probiotic to go with. I settled on Genestra brand then switched to Custom Probiotics. Again, I did this upon...
  5. IrishHeart
    Well, I defer to your judgement on this, then, 'shroom!. I am not familiar with this product, really. I use probiotics, too as my testing showed a lack of good bacteria. It's just that on another thread, someone was talking to Zack about the Threelac as being problematic. Zack has misgivings about it. I thought maybe giving the diet a chance first...

    Well, you go, girl!! We are our own best advocates and yes, this forum rocks. I learned more from googling my symptoms for 3 years and having many of them "land" right here than I learned from consulting over 30 "professionals". These people unknowingly helped saved my life, in a sense, and I wasn't even a member yet!! I figure, pay it forward. When...

    Try not to throw too many things into your system. Stick with a plain, whole foods diet and a probiotic for now. (not the threelac -- I am leery of such things--JMHO) I agree with Raven--take sublingual B-12. I know you are discouraged, but two weeks is still early. Sorry, but no one on here has had these neuro type symptoms resolve that quickly. It...

    Good for you, Etta!

    Congrats on your marriage!! This is very helpful info and I am very happy to see that Paris was so good to you. The last trip we took was to Vegas for our 10th anniversary (2007)and we stayed there. Sadly, it is the last trip we took because I got sick shortly after that. I just recalled in my head all the fabulous meals we had there, but especially in...

    Thanks! I have improved too--I did the same thing!
  11. IrishHeart
    Nope, you are not alone and you will feel better. Truthfully, the hardest part ( for me, anyway) is being patient to see the results. I have so many symptoms and I watch for each of them to improve...some have! I just want to be all better right now!! Who doesn't right??! But the best advice I got was...relax, stick to the diet and eat whole, plain foods...

    Hope you got some ZZZZZZZZZZZZs! I cut out some foods with high salycilates (at the suggestion of another member) and got almost 6 hours last night...go figure!
  13. IrishHeart
    PONDY! See what I mean!!...here's another angel who "held my hand" since I joined the forum ...and their experiences at HEALING speak volumes....you're in the right place!!
  14. IrishHeart
    LALAMA!! Your post is so encouraging!!We share similar symptoms and right now, I am also dairy, soy, and sugar free. I've gone practically paleo because I am reacting to salicylates in foods. ZACK--I chased my tail with the candida thing. Spit test is useless. I had spit tendrils in the glass , too and thought AHA! but a stool analysis and a small...

    Welcome! Oh Boy, is it familiar!! My rib cage hurts sometimes...it's screaming at me right now! I lost a lot of weight (90 lbs.), my hair, I am fatigued, depressed, insomnia, burning neuropathic pain..ETC ETC ETC and I also had NEG blood work. (Many of us do!) Do not worry! You are in the right place for answers, help, info and encouragement...

    I must be "special". benadryl makes me "hyper" not sleepy... and melatonin---well, I fell asleep, but woke up anyway..arrgh!! Valerian root, passionflower...WIDE AWAKE!! I remain, sleepless in NY Really?/ how can we be so exhausted, yet not sleep or be able to nap?? I don't get it!!
  18. IrishHeart
    You're welcome. Probiotics are always a good idea. Simple pure foods work best. Good luck! I hate to say this, because I know you probably don't want to hear this (and I don't blame you one bit!) but if you read about celiac, you will see that a LARGE number of people never experience stomach or bowel issues. (My cousin didn't but she has it) That's why...

    Oh poo, I have tried to post a different photo but it isn't showing... not sure why. I can see it on my profile but not on the forum.

  21. IrishHeart
    I think I am just "super-sensitive" right now I seem to do all right with Cape Cod chips...but, that's ALL they make in their factory...anyway, thanks for your thoughts! Appreciate it!
  22. IrishHeart
    Hi Lisa, No gluten ingredients would be a lot clearer!! I am aware of this <20 ppm thing (and I agree with you that this country is waaaay behind other countries in this regulation) but I was HOPING...foolishly...that a company's word was good. It's not. I have been burned many times. Oh well. I think a product made in a "dedicated" gluten-free...

    Since we are on the topic of gluten-free foods "are they/aren't they?"....I WAS eating Oscar Meyer cold cuts. Supposedly gluten-free/CF/SF, so THEY say...but felt "spacey" --one of my "tells" -- after eating it so I stopped. Are Oscar Meyer deli cuts in the package "safe"..??would you happen to know??
