ARCHIVED Villi Damage From Other Food Intolerances?
spirit-walk replied to megsylvan2's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is a question that I have had as well. I went from eating any and everything I wanted with no problems (although I has upset stomachs a lot growing up). Then I started having mild pain in my hands over the course of 2-3 years (tingling and sensitive), and then in March of 2012 it went full-blown crazy. My hands were hurting terribly, then it moved to... -
ARCHIVED Pancreatic Insufficiency
spirit-walk replied to pghkid33's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
pghkid33, Just curious, but do you weight loss as well? I was taking Creon and Zenpep for a few months, b/c my doctor discovered I wasn't absorbing fat. It didn't help me gain weight, and I stopped taking them b/c the prescriptions were expensive. -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks nvsmom and janpell. I usually feel my best when I haven't eaten for several hours. I'm on a mission to gain weight though, so I've been eating as often as possible. Usually when I finish a meal, I feel it in the wrists first. Some days are better than others, but the popping is always there even on the good days. I've gotten to the point that I... -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
They haven't been able to explain it which is why I'm reaching out to this community. However Irish, they didn't say it wasn't a rheumatic condition. Well, SOME (I've seen four different ones) have said I don't have arthritis. One said I have inflammatory arthritis and that he could feel inflammation in my joints. The initial rheumatologist I saw said... -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?

I never said neither of those things. I said I had difficulty lecturing when I was experiencing the jaw popping, and I never said it wasn't a big deal. -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
karen, I've seen numerous doctors and have been a pin cushion for blood work. I've had a joint scan and bone scan. Those were both done a while back though, and this all started two years ago. So I'm not sure what an x-ray would show today on the different joints. The last time I asked about it, there were a few people who gave some good feedback. One person... -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I move all the time. I teach fourth grade and I am constantly on my feet and moving. I've also been in a great deal of pain over the last two years while working and wondered if I can continue as my symptoms progress. It's very difficult to stop stressing when you're in pain all the time and symptoms are getting worse. I've been doing yoga daily for the last... -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Thanks for the John Hopkins link. Have seen it many times, and it is not describing my particular condition. This is not normal popping that comes from lack of motion. Irish I'm not sure how many times I need to explain this or if I'm simply not explaining it clearly. My bones SNAP. This isn't crackling like when you rise out of bed. My wrist want to... -
Joint Popping And Muscle Twitching?
spirit-walk replied to spirit-walk's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
There is pain associated with the popping. I had difficulty lecturing to my class when the jaw popping went on. My hips hurt almost daily from the clicking in them, and when the knee popping gets bad, it is painful. When my wrists pop, they don't generally hurt, but in feels uncomfortable and they feel as if they are locking up at times. Sometimes with a... -
I posted about my issues with joint popping a while back, but I wanted to try and again to see if I would get any more responses. Does anyone have chronic joint popping? It started with my wrists and shoulders. I had it a while in my jaw but it went away. However, it never stops in the wrists and shoulders and progressed to my knees, hips, and now neck. Once...

Those two protein powders are the ones mentioned in Esposito's book. She claims to have used them to help healing. -

Do many of you have problems if you eat foods high in sugar even if they are natural sugars coming from fruit? Sugar triggers joint pain for me. Just wondering if there are others who experience symptoms from eating a lot of sugary fruit and such?

I don't believe I have osteoarthritis. Possibly, but I have no swelling/nodules or any disfiguration in my joints. I've never had swelling. My hands look like any other healthy forty year old. Something triggers pain when I eat certain foods though, and it's an autoimmune response. The other day I made a tight fist and I had a terrible pain in the top knuckle...

Thanks dilettantesteph. I beginning to think the popping I am experiencing may be induced by stress/anxiety. I think and worry far too much about my health, the pain, and just living life in a productive manner. I see a lot of stuff online about anxiety and popping in joints. Irish, I had a veggie stew with carrots and celery for the first time...

Thanks Irish. I've read your links. I'm going to put it to the test. I am going to try one food at a time on my list, starting with items that aren't normally high allergy types. Carrots, tomatoes, asparagus, peanut butter, pineapple, and sesame were a few examples. Pineapple and sesame were the two highest markers on my test. I ate a lot of pineapple...

Thanks jiggles. I'm currently not eating many veggies (mostly french beans and okra). But I eat apples, bananas, pears, blueberries, and dates all the time. Not sure what I would eat without them, and the thought of giving them up makes me want to go crawl in bed and sleep. Maybe I should just eat rice for a week and see if I feel better?

Checking in... Neck is the problem this morning. Turning my head to the left and right feels tight, and my neck pops here and there. Ugh.. Irish, I listened to some of the Fasano podcast you linked. My 3 year old is keeping me busy though. I will try to work my way through it. Sometimes I have to read or listen to him several times to really understand...

I'm probably misinterpreting what my doctor was saying. When I asked about the genetic testing done at Mayo, I was told that it doesn't necessarily mean that I'm not Celiac and she said they are discovering more and more information about genetic pathways and had heard this in a recent conference. I took that to mean that it didn't necessarily mean that it...
