    Costalchondritis can be caused by a number of things. One of them is a vertebral rotation in the thoracic spine. Because the ribs are connected in between the side portions of the vertebrae, if one is rotated, it twists the rib. Kind of causes it to "torque". If you can find a physical therapist that specializes in manual therapy --particularly if they...

    I DO believe in growing pains, but only when a child has had a significant growth spurt in a short period of time. It takes the muscles much more time to stretch to accommodate the growing bone, and the pull / stress that it puts on the bone and the joint can be pretty severe, depending upon the amount of growth. That being said, if your daughter is...

    Good luck with your bloodwork -- but the bottom line is this: if your body responds to a gluten-free diet, and you FEEL BETTER when you don't ingest gluten, then go for it! I'm starting to be VERY skeptical about bloodwork . . . . . .

    I usually tell people that I have an autoimmune disorder that prevents me from eating anything containing gluten. Of course, then you have to explain that it is BROW -- Barley, Rye, Oats and Wheat. If they go further and ask what it does, I tell them that there's a protein on a part of your brain that is very similar to gliadin -- the substance in gluten...

    Karen -- that sounds like a GREAT solution!! Thanks for passing it on . . . . . . After this stupid biopsy then burn all the spots off my face thing, the dermatologist said that he was going to address all the issues with my face and scalp. Must say, it was well worth the money. He said -- "Same price. Why not?" I agreed. My point, as it takes me...

    ROFLMAO Absolutely!! I can hear that WAY too southern voice enjoying saying every word of the burned to a crisp . . . . !!!! That was GREAT. And yes, I did QUICKLY catch on to the Kentucky Fried Chicken reference . . . . . . Hugs back, Lynne

    Hmmmmm....... And what was that reference to Kentucky Fried Chicken?????

    We live in kind of a "sub-city" of Louisville, and I'm not kidding you, whoever writes our "Town Newsletter" writes disgustingly close to that!!! It is the greatest source of humor and humiliation you have ever seen!!!!!
  9. tiredofdoctors
    That is TOO funny!!!!!

    That is an AWESOME article!! I was busting a gut! What a hoot . . . . can you imagine reading something like that today? As for Confirmed ------- Karen, honey, we ALL knew you had a sick sense of humor. For a really, really long time. Love you! Lynne

    Thank you guys for the info . . . . I knew about the lotion -- found out the hard way, then called!! Talk about backward thinking. I use the gentle skin cleanser, asked for it for Christmas in my stocking, but got the normal to oily cleanser instead. That's not gluten-free, huh? Doggonit! My sister-in-law gave me an Lame Advertisement catalog, but...

    According to my GI doc, being gluten-free for even three weeks can affect a biopsy. It can't affect the BLOODWORK, but he said that the intestinal tract has an extremely high cellular turnover rate. He didn't even want me to be gluten-free for the four days that I was going to wait to have my endocscopy. This is just what my doc said. Hope it helps.

    Hi Jacey -- welcome!! All of the conditions you have mentioned have been associated with Celiac. Raynaud's Phenomenon is associated with a whole HOST of autoimmune diseases (I also have this -- hurts like the dickens when your fingers and toes warm up, doesn't it?). With regard to the Candida and Mercury toxicity -- the Mercury bothers me -- have you...

    Bev -- thank you VERY much for the compliment. It's funny, when I was growing up, I lived with such a dichotomy of messages about my intelligence. My father's side of the family continually made me feel as though I was not very intelligent, clumsy, gawky, inept, etc. . . . I heard this every Wednesday when I took dancing lessons from my aunt, every Thursday...

    OKAY THAT'S IT!!!!! WHERE'S MY PLANE TICKET??????????????!!!!!! Pizza and a beer? Chris, don't toy with my affections!! Eliza -- what you explained sounds remarkably like Guillanne Barre Syndrome. Kids CAN get Rheumatoid Arthritis at age 7 -- I know of an infant that developed it at 8 months. With RA, you would have had an elevated sedamentation...

    It's not that I'm actually FUNNY. It's that my life is just that screwed up!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Eliza -- I had an entire page responding to you, and I am so discoordinated tonight that I deleted it. Am not typing well at all, either. I will give you my answer in the morning, if that's O.K. Thanks . . . . Lynne xxxooo

    I saw on the Animal Planet that a woman who breeds (Labs, I think) feeds the dogs, especially the pregnant moms, all raw meat. I kind of questioned it, but if chicken necks work for tartar, I'm going to try it for Lucky. Poor little Destiny only has three molars and one lower canined left, and it is loose, so I guess it's a little late for her. She does...

    Hi New Dreams . . . Welcome to the Forum! Along with the articles, you'll find that a LOT of us have been hypothyroid . . . particularly with Hashimoto's Thyroiditis . . . another autoimmune disease. Go figure . . . . . Take care of you, Lynne

    I had some serious C due to the neurological damage . . . my autonomic nervous system doesn't know how to function properly, so I don't sweat, don't have intestinal peristalsis, etc. I take Miralax twice a day . . . it has been a Godsend. I tried everything . . . the only time I would go is when I took two Pericolace, drank two to three bottles of water...

    No need to be scared. Metta is right -- the worst part is the prep. My daughter had her colonoscopy today, and she was given the half-lightly to drink -- ended up puking it up, just like I did. I talked with her doctor and he changed her prep to the Osmoprep pills. Much, much better. You have to take a lot of pills -- one every fifteen minutes -- but...

    Thanks, guys!!! I'm glad to be back, as well. That feeling bad thing is a bummer, seriously. Then to have that stupid medicine full of gluten -- well, let's just say IT'S THE STORY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey Chris -- can you believe that U of K actually MADE it to a bowl game, much less WON it???? We've sucked for YEARS -- we were all partying just...

    Happy Birthday Rusla!! Hope you and Johnny have a great night tonight! Have a great one -- love you, Lynne

    Sinenox, I hope that you aren't set up as a target. While I have two children myself, I can tell you that parenting is NOT for everyone. I also had a professor, a PhD in psychology, who said in essence that "everyone thinks that the decision NOT to have children is selfish -- what could be more selfish than to have a child just so a part of you lives on...

    Hi Carrie -- Welcome to the board! You're already on the right track joining here. You will find some of the most knowledgeable, compassionate people here -- more than you can imagine. My dietician recommended that I get the GIG lists for gluten-free products. They're updated each year, and this year they have a separate one for medications. The total...
