    If you have fillings it could be a cause or a contributer to the symptoms you're experiencing. My own symptoms started immediately after 2 fillings were drilled out unsafely. Prior to that I was not sensitive to any foods or chemicals and was in good health (as far as I knew). I did not get them removed because of health concerns and I wasnt aware of the...

    I agree with the previous post with regards to finding a doctor who will be more open to what you're experiencing. Outside of conventional medicine there are many many doctors who understand reactions to chemicals. As previously mentioned they will help you get to root of your problems. It is very frusterating to have doctors who do not believe you or...

    It is possible that the 16 year old has improved in this area with the gluten-free diet. Could you repeat the test to see if there is improvement?? My Dr. started me on DigestRight which was formulated for children. It might be a good one for your boys to try. I would say that enzymes are VERY important for children with ASD.....the vast majority do...

    Its been 6 years since I first started having symptoms. It all came on very suddenly and the symptoms were severe enough that I could no longer work. I was pretty messed up during the first 3 years. My eyes were very affected and sometimes I couldnt drive because my eyes were so blurry and also painfully sensitive to light. I was wearing sunglasses in the...

    I went through maybe 40-50 conventional doctors....who did NOTHING for me. I was treated pretty badly.....probably because on the outside I didnt appear to be sick. None of the tests they ran came up with any answers and I was given drugs, drugs and more drugs....because that was the one thing they were always willing to do...whether I wanted it or not....

    I read your other thread and I can relate to alot of what you're feeling. Chemicals in foods can definately wreak havoc on the brain. I wasnt as young as you are when I started to experience the symptoms (I had many from the list above) so when it happened I definately knew something wasnt right....that it wasnt normal at all. I had been healthy for all my...

    Of all grains (including those containing gluten) rice is the one that causes me the most problems. Both brown and white rice will bring on palipitations, anxiety and other symptoms. If I eat rice before bed I will have difficulty falling asleep...then I'll wake up repeatedly through the night (its more like I'm jolted awake). I havent had that problem with...

    I dont know of any glutamate blocker you can buy at the store. These would be drugs prescribed by a doctor for certain conditions (like seizures).

    yeast does not contain MSG....."autolyzed yeast" does. There are many sites that list the ingredients that always contain MSG....and the ingredients which often contain MSG. Yeast extract can also mean that MSG is in the product.

    Amber, I dont know if oil pulling is the best idea for someone who has amalgams. I was trying to read up on this the other day and alot of things I read would lead me to believe that it may not be safe. I no longer have any metal in my mouth but personally, I would probably pass on oil pulling if I did. From what I understand it can pull metal...which...

    There are alot of products that are labled "No MSG"....however, plenty of free glutamate can still be found in the ingedient list. Its another thing where you have to know which ingredients are actually hidden sources of MSG (and the list is quite long). "No MSG" simply means that monosodium glutamate wasnt directly added into the product.....but there are...

    I think the black line would be from metal....thats the most common reason for having black lines on the gum. Since you're saying that its only happening where the crowns are....I would think that metal is showing through. Even if your crowns are porcelain they would most likely still be fused with metal (unless they are fairly new). The area where the crown...

    In my opinion it would be much safer to have the fillings fall out this way (no drilling). The exposure to mercury would be much higher if they are drilled out. I understand not having the money for replacements though.

    Thanks Shay! I'm definately gonna give this another try. I doubt it will do much as far as improving my health issues.... but its worth doing if it helps my gums and brightens my teeth. I had wondered about the toasted oil because I figured I may have reacted to amines or something else that occured as a result of the "toasting". I was too scared...

    No....you are not crazy mr. moore. Many, many people have symptoms which they link to aspartame. I also had alot of neurological symptoms which improved significantly when I stopped chewing gum that contained aspartame. Look up "excitotoxin".......aspartame and MSG are the worst offenders....and they are *everywhere* when it comes to processed foods...

    I tried oil pulling about a year ago I think. I'm sensitive to so many things that I reacted to the oil I used. I got mouth blisters right away as well as the typical reactions that I get from foods that I dont tolerate. I wasnt really expecting that since I wasnt actually swallowing the stuff. Anyway, the oil I used was sesame oil (toasted). At the...

    Spelt is actually not gluten free...so you would need to avoid it if you're following a gluten-free diet.

    Sorry....I'm so bad about deleting things....but I hope it was of some help to you. I believe this was brought up before but noone really saw a need for a seperate candida forum here. Personally, I dont think we need a seperate place just for candida as we already have the leaky gut forum as well as the related disorders forum......and candida...
  19. Rachel--24
    Meline, There are lots and lots of threads about Candida here. You can post in any of them (which will bring it back to the front page of its forum)....or start a new one if you would prefer to do it that way.

    Yes, you can have these genes in any combination and not have elevated antigliadin IgA. You can have one or both Celiac genes and still never develop Celiac Disease. Having the genes only predisposes you to the disease......it doesnt mean that you have it....or will ever have it. As far as the gluten sensitivity genes....I believe that Enterolab...
  21. Rachel--24
    Many people have gotten negative results from Enterolab. Some of them have symptoms (which may or may not resolve on the diet)....some have no symptoms at all. Its the same with those who have had positives....some have symptoms (which may or may not resolve on the diet)....and some have no symptoms at all. I think that a much higher percentage...
  22. Rachel--24
    You will have either one Celiac gene and one "gluten sensitive" gene, or 2 Celiac genes, or 2 "gluten sensitivity" genes. Since pretty much the entire population carry either Celiac genes or what Enterolab considers to be "gluten sensitive" genes...you are pretty much guaranteed to have either 2 celiac genes, 2 gluten sensitivity genes...or one of each...

    I am Judy....and enjoying the holiday season. Hope you are doing well also.
  24. Rachel--24
    No problem. Let me know if you have any other questions. Happy reading!
  25. Rachel--24
    Thanks Judy. I'll pass the info. onto some of the other OMG'ers in case anyone else is interested in signing.
