    Laura...this is all very interesting. Thanks for posting the lab. I really wouldnt wanna do another Endoscopy because of the fact that like you said....if its negative you still dont have an answer. Do they usually keep tissue samples and are they still "good" for checking if Lyme is present?? My biopsy was about a year and a half ago. I...

    If you're sensitive to molds its pretty much a "universal" thing. I'm sensitive to indoor and outdoor molds as well as the molds in foods. Every visit my Dr. tells me to stay away from molds and chemicals as much as humanly possible....also wheat, dairy and sugar. The way its explained to me is that the mold sensitivity could be caused by mercury...

    Dr. Rick had me on Transfer Factor early last year. I actually think I was ok with it but when I started taking Seacure and enzymes along with it I got sick really fast and so I stopped taking everything...including the TF. I was taking TF by itself for a few weeks without a worsening of symptoms though. If I end up testing well for it in ART I'll get...

    Patti my BioSET lady is the one who told me Iim having serious problems with mold....and yeah I'd suspected it before (along with a million other things )....but I guess I never really thought it could be the *main* thing. Heck...it could be the cause for almost all my reactions!! I do know I'm reactive to chemicals but I dont eat stuff thats...

    No kidding!! Its HEINOUS...it *looks* gorgeous outside except for the fact that it looks like stuff is gonna get uprooted from the ground and start flying around in the air. I had to turn the music up loud so that I can no longer hear the wind....it was driving me crazy. I'm not at all surprised a perfectly healthy tree got blown out...

    and another thing...if you look at all the processed gluten-free snacks, bread, cereals, etc.....they're all sweetened with grape juice, pear juice, honey....they have all this moldy stuff like raisins, nuts, etc. Plus they dont have all the preservatives....I remember at the beginning of this thread alot of saying we feel even worse eating the gluten...
  7. Rachel--24
    Yeah...and it very much seems like the more I eat moldy stuff the more I react to other less moldy foods, chemicals etc. In my journals whenever I had written that my sensitivities to perfumes were increasing dramatically...it was always when I was getting the other symptoms as well and also when I'd been eating those foods I listed. Anna doesnt...

    These are some "less obvious" foods which I suspect must have very high levels of mold due to my reactions written in my journals and the ones I remember as being pretty bad. Ghee....gave me a problem everytime. Glutino flax bread....actually everything I tried from Glutino I reacted very badly to. All of Amy's dinners...although I didnt always...

    I'm making some pretty significant discoveries today looking back on my journals! Seems like I've done this a million times and each time things get more and more clear...I think after today things couldnt possibly be more clear. I've been getting that "ovary pain" off and on lately along with the head swelling, eye disturbances, bloating, loose...

    Mia....same here. Except I dont wear sneakers all that much anymore. I wear boots and Uggs mainly in the winter and sandals/flipflops in the summer. I do love getting dressed up for special occasions and I'll wear heels but I usually end up taking them off....especially if I'm gonna dance. All my life I had huge collection of sneakers but now...

    Yeah......happy Cinco De Mayo!!! It was so fun at work yesterday because they were playing Spanish music in the store....it felt totally festive. It gets kind of boring listening to the same stuff everyday so it was a nice change. I primarily listen to latin mush anyways...I'm usually wearing my headphones in the morning (until it gets too busy...
  12. Rachel--24
    YEAH... things can change pretty quickly as far as whether our bodies like something or not. This shows up often in ART from what I understand. Sometimes certain meds or herbs might be working really well but then at some point they arent as effective or you get allergic to it...the body just doesnt want it anymore so instead of helping it could be making...

    Here is more about the same...

    From what I've researched and learned from discussions with my Dr.'s I'm pretty sure they do have a good understanding of why Autistic kids improve on a gluten-free/cf diet. Its just not "recognized" by mainstream because of the controversy surround mercurys involvement in triggering Autism. Its mainly the alternative Dr.'s who are recommending this diet...
  15. Rachel--24
    Sounds like chemical sensitivity to me. I get that reaction with fragrances...I can sometimes taste them on my tongue. I dont get asthma...I get head swelling, burning/blurry eyes, brain fog, etc. Its not caused by gluten.
  16. Rachel--24
    Donna...I was wondering if maybe you're feeling worse because of all the B vitamins?? I dont know....but if you're even half as sensitive to yeast and molds as I am you might not do well with them. I know that if I attempted taking B-vitamins I'd go downhill fairly quickly. The B-vitamins are from yeast...its usually recommended people who are dealing...
  17. Rachel--24
    Patti.....heck no....I've never found you to be boring. I also dont think this is just the way its gonna be for you...the body is capable of doing amazing things as far as healing itself. I would have to think that your ongoing symptoms are because something is getting in the way of that healing process. Oh and I do still have that pressure/fullness...
  18. Rachel--24
    I got my appt set up for Monday. I'll be having the CD57 done and liver/kidney tests. Donna...we'll probably be getting our results back around the same time.
  19. Rachel--24
    Bev...its so good to see that you're feeling alot better about things today!! It sounds like you'll start getting some answers finally. I'm really excited for you. Glad to hear you were pretty informed going in. I've learned to always always know my stuff before seeing the Dr....that way you can really tell how knowledgeable the Dr. is. It really...
  20. Rachel--24
    Bev, Not sure what time you're appt. was at today but I'm thinking of you....hoping all is going well.
  21. Rachel--24
    I dont eat any fish at all...I was told to just avoid it for now. I'm pretty sure like Andrea said all fish have some amount of mercury in it. Salmon is better than some other fish....and anythings better than tuna....but still they've all got some mercury.

    Hey....I just saw that its Morgans Birthday!! Happy 19th Birthday Morgan!!!!!
  23. Rachel--24
    Ahhh...I thought it might be from that photo you had up before....but I couldnt see you that well in the last one. Sometimes if I zoom in on pictures they arent so clear....but yours is really clear and yeah...you look YOUNG!! I knew that was your daughters head.
  24. Rachel--24
    YESSSS....the weekened is almost here...and its gonna be beautiful outside....perfect for bored and staring dingos. HUGS to you too.
  25. Rachel--24
