    Just wanted to say that alot of us can relate to how you feel. I know its not always easy for me to bite my tongue when I see people going down a wrong path...or taking bad advice from their Dr.'s or whomever else it may be. Of course we see alot of it here on the board and it can get frusterating at times. I try to just give advice that I think might...

    Hi Patti!!! I've seen you popping on here and there but not posting. I was hoping you were feeling ok but didnt wanna bother you with questions. Not yet anyway. Anyways...hope you're getting lots of rest and that hubby is taking good care of you. And remember.....NO vacuuming!

    What was in your complete panel?? My Dr. just ordered the Western Blots....no other tests to start with. At first one of the nurses told me the co-infections was $650 but it turned out to be cheaper. I think maybe it was around $460.....cant remember the exact price. I had asked why the nurse originally quoted me $650?? They said she was looking at...

    I think I'm gonna just go ahead and start taking it tonight. If I get alot of die-off I'll just cancel the plans and stay home till Monday morning. My Dr. only wants me to take half a capsule to start with to hopefully avoidalot of die-off....so maybe I wont even notice anything.

    Carla....my IgeniX tests were alot cheaper than that. I had the Western Blots and they were $95 each...my insurance paid half so for both Western Blots I paid only $95. The IFA test was complimentary when you get the WB's...so that was a "bonus". My co-infections tests were more....around $400....but insurance pays half. I'm still waiting for that...

    First, you're not a "dumbass"...ok. I can only comment on this right now cuz I'm running late for work. Tetracycline isnt standard treatment for Lyme. It might be something that can be tried later on if other antibiotics fail but typically its not used for starting out on Lyme treatment....as far as I know. Doxy is used for Lyme treatment and...

    ROFL.... Alison....I can picture your mother's face as she watches in horror....I bet she looks something like this "God made dirt....dirt dont hurt"

    I agree with all that you've said regarding following the diet whether its Celiac or not. If your body doesnt like it....stay away from it....its as simple as that. As far as needing surgery for damaged parts of the intestines from Celiac....I've never heard of that?? I agree with the others.....what your nutritionist is telling you about Celiac...

    I've actually asked this question before and as far as I know there is only one poster here who is biopsy proven celiac w/out a gene. It can happen but its not very common...only about 1-2% of Celiacs dont have one of the main genes. I tried to get answers to this question since I dont carry a gene and even though they dont believe that they've determined...

    I loved that! I had an appt. tonight. It was a good session...we did the thyroid panel. I had BioSET lady #3 (Debbie)....whom I've only seen once before. Shes good...she spends alot of time and has a good amount of knowledge. I felt like the appt. went well. I'll post about it tomorrow cuz I'm pretty tired right now. Andrea...I'll be around...

    Claire...good luck with the dairy!! Dont know what he meant by AC/DC but I just read that since alot of people with gluten intolerance also have candida issues the situation can get worse after going gluten-free and introducing so much corn into your diet. Mainly because corn is the most moldy grain of all and full of fungi and mycotoxins....not good...
  12. Rachel--24
    Yup...and I'm sure it will be used often here....it goes so well with "scientificness".

    I had this too. My eye symptoms were the worst symptoms I've had to deal with this whole 4 years. My eyes hurt really bad during the first year....intense pressure and unbelievable pain. I cant even describe it but I hope I never experience anything like it ever again. I had to wear a bandana over my eyes too...because I got extremely sensitive to light....

    Ok....so you know I had to look this up ...there is no stopping the the nerdiness in me. Yeah....they say we need to be exposed to bacteria and germs to keep the immune system healthy....especially kids. So yeah....they're messing with everything and I think its also messing with our immune systems. All of our food is pretty much...

    I dont think anyone is on flagyl right now....but I think a few of us have had the unlucky experience of being on that HEINOUS drug. Flagyl sucks!! On my 3rd or 4th day of Flagyl I woke up and the room was spinning, I was really nauseus, I could barely walk and I was really dizzy. I couldnt make it to work. I dont know if it was a herx or the drug itself...

    This is totally true Carla. I've heard it and read it many times. This is exactly why they say anti-bacterial soap is not good....we have made our environment "too" sterile. Its not good for the immune system. I've heard that not allowing the immune system to do what its designed to do....can actually harm us. If you sterlize everything and worry about...

    I'm pretty sure the HSO's that Jordan Rubin promotes is totally different. Nystatin was discovered by two women....I think in the 50's. Its a particular bacteria strain that they isolated in the soil from someones backyard. They had been testing alot of different strains from all over the world for antifungal purposes against candida albicans and some other...

    Thanks Miamia...when will you get your urine test results?? Waiting sucks. Are you taking anything for candida now?? The candida will be there until we get better from the Lyme.....or whatever else is contributing to weakening our immune systems and making us toxic. You gotta keep treating it or it will come right back. I'm going to be on the nystatin...
  19. Rachel--24
    Why were you taking Flagyl?? My tests for Celiac were negative too...I dont have it.....I dont carry either of the celiac genes. Were you ever gene tested to find out if you're susceptible to it?? I have gluten intolerance....probably caused by candida....the candida was probably caused by my immune system being run down by either Lyme, mercury...
  20. Rachel--24
    Theres no gluten in Flagyl.....I think she was saying that it caused her candida problem.
  21. Rachel--24
    Andrea...I was "nerdily" like that. It was the most exciting thing when I got to order books from the book club. My mom always let me get whatever books I wanted...I would have read 300 minutes easy. I guess I'm still nerdily...hence all the scientificness.
  22. Rachel--24
    No worries.....feel free to ask questions if you have any further trouble. There are no pests here.

    Hi...your topic will go to the last page of the forum until its "pinned" by a moderator and then it will move up to the first page. You can view all of the topics (pinned or unpinned) by clicking on "Todays active topics" which is located near the bottom of the main page.

    Yeah...I wasnt trying to be gluten-free at the time because my focus was on candida. I just happened to be gluten-free by default because of the diet....but I wasnt looking into supplements or anything like that. A few months later when I found this board and got my Enterolab results I started thinking of my most severe reactions and if there could have been...
  25. Rachel--24
    Yeah!!! See....you're still dealing with things....maybe not with as much energy as you used to have...but you're still handling it. The Lyme arent gonna continue having their way.....and neither is Jack!!!
