    I also have chemical sensitivities and many many food intolerances. It didnt really become apparant to me until after I went gluten-free. The more I eliminated..the more things I noticed reactions to...its been never ending. I'm sure the sensitivities were there prior to going gluten-free but when your system is very overwhelmed you dont notice things...

    Well....I definately dont think its a good idea to eat any of that stuff. Wow...gluten withdrawl?? I'm not sure anyone should eat Lucky Charms. Ok....plan B... Dont eat whatever you want. Sounds like you're doing pretty well with your current diet...as far as the bladder symptoms which were the worst. Yeah...mercury and candida can...

    Well....I kicked the oatmeal to the curb. I noticed changes in my body that werent good ones so I had to lose the oats. I figured they were probably moldy but wasnt having any immeddiate reactions with the cookies so just kept eating them. Everyday my face was pale and puffy and I have more imflammation in my body than normal. My urine has been...

    Not necessarily...it can take time for something to build up in your system and cause a reaction. It could be that as you continue to take it...the reaction will become more severe as there are higher levels of the med in your system.

    Lisa.....are you taking anything right now?? Are you taking the probiotics?? The amalgam removals are gonna be hard on you since you're already very toxic. Honestly, I dont know if I would be taking any probiotics or anything else right now....just the stuff thats gonna help you cope with the added mercury exposure. Are you taking any Vit C....ask your Dr...

    We're glad you found your way back too. HEINOUS about the work situation. Is there more detail about all this on D/S?? Hmmmm...maybe I need to stop by for a looksie.
  7. Rachel--24
    Aww Patti. This makes me sad. I hope whatever it is passes soon. I would definately stop eating anything new to your diet the past week. Are there any new products you're using....lotions...laundry detergents, etc?? I know some laundry detergents were making me itchy...I only use ones that are free and clear ever since I first got sick. Its...

    I dont think there is a common element with all of these foods. It may be that you react to them for different reasons. What about chocolate ice cream, yellow cheese, egg yolks?? If you have a problem with all cheese, all yogurt, all ice cream...then its probably a dairy thing. If you have problem with the egg yolks as well as the whites...you could have...

    Hi Grump. I dont know who brought up Carbuncle and I cant answer your questions but hopefully someone else can. Welcome to the board.

    I still read lots of other boards and I thought I'd let you guys know that the other day I came across a post mentioning this thread. The poster was recommending that others come check out this really long thread by Rachel24...on Celiac.com....lots of really good info on Lyme. So apparantly there are readers who are being informed and possibly helped...

    I also have problems with additives...pretty much all of them. I dont eat processed foods. I have problems with MSG, aspartame, food dyes (red 40 etc), sulphites, preservatives, etc. I eat whole foods and stick to organic. I dont know what could be causing your problems with added chemicals....for me its due to high toxicity. I got sick from mercury...
  12. Rachel--24
    Jin...if you had trouble with asthma and allergies after eating dried fruit this could very well be a problem with sulfites. Pretty much all dried fruits are treated with sulfites. You can get un-sulphured dried fruits at health stores like Whole Foods but noramlly they all have sulfites. I have problems with sulphites and have posted about it lots...

    Nikki....I see you reading and would like to wish you a HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY!!! I missed all the birthday threads!! Ursula's too! I hope you had a FABULOUS day!!!
  14. Rachel--24
    NO...I definetely dont wanna BE a Rinne Bar. I want to eat lots of them though. Yup....I do feel like a part of me is missing right now. Its frightening that my cell phone is so far away from me right now. I think I'll still be somewhat worried until its actually back where it belongs....attached to the side of my head. On the bright side...
  15. Rachel--24
    Yeah...I always turn stuff in when I find it at work so I would hope its good karma. I know I left it on the counter where I set it while I got out my checkbook (yeah...I still write checks ). I've done it before but in the past I dont get very far before realizing I dont have my cellphone. Last night it was just about closing time when I was there...
  16. Rachel--24
    No problem....I used to post on candida boards and also CureZone...they arent shy about anything on those boards!! I guess I got used to it. ROFL... Yeah...if you start posting alot of crazy and bizzarre stuff I'm gonna have to tell you to lay off the "salt". OMG...I might have to jump on the salt bandwagon!! I...
  17. Rachel--24
    Rinne...its funny cuz I feel pretty gross most of the time but still get compliments on my looks. Yeah...apparantly we can be more toxic than anyone can possibly comprehend and still look half-way decent. I feel like when I'm stirring up toxins or in a reactive state my skin looks really bad...pale, puffy and just not having a "healthy glow". The...
  18. Rachel--24
    Well my Sunday has started out really bad. I woke up at 7 am and I've been a frantic mess ever since. So I've been thinking that its strange I havent heard anything yet about the scheduling for Dr. Amys visit in June. I planned on calling this week to see whats up. So I'm going through the mail this morning and theres a letter from Dr. Amy saying she...
  19. Rachel--24
    Yeah...my bug bite reactions were never happenning immediately so when it was actually occurring I never could figure out what was causing it specifically. I just know that looking back...whenever it happened I was eating moldy foods. Now I'm not and it doesnt happen anymore....so who knows.
  20. Rachel--24
    Donna....I checked and its 4 grams per half cup...so 16 grams. The stevia doesnt say so its probably insignificant. I think it might have to do with the charcoal and/or dying yeast possibly clogging me up.
  21. Rachel--24
    Patti....I feel kind of dumb for asking but what is a DO?? Yeah....its sooo unfair. I wish I could just grab something....anything...and just eat it right out of the bag for once!
  22. Rachel--24
    Yeah...I wonder how much fiber 2 cups of oats has? I'll have to look into that..and also the packets of stevia. It could also be the charcoal...I'm pretty sure that can cause constipation as well. Its just so sad that I cant ice cream because that definately gave me the most normal bm's I've had in a long time. Maybe it would have caused "D" but with...
  23. Rachel--24
    Patti, I'm wondering if you might indeed be sensitive to molds?? The trail mix would be very moldy...nuts, seeds and especially dried fruit are all high in mold. I sometimes get what I call "bug bites" but they only occur on my toes. They look exactly like bites and itch real bad so the first couple times it happened I thought I'd been bitten...
  24. Rachel--24
    Thanks for weighing in on that. I do think everyones results match up really good. I was hoping to see Mia's results too. I do think my symptoms are more directly related to toxicity from the other stuff and not so much from the Lyme. I think this is why I have more problems with the chemical and food intolerances than with fatigue, joint pain...
  25. Rachel--24
    Alison....I answered your question about my radioactive iodine earlier this morning but my post got lost. I've been having alot of problems with the board lately. I'll go back later and try again.
