    Thanks Rachel...I think maybe my body just needs to get "used" to the meds...so far today I haven't felt the nausea and I took the meds about 4 hours ago. Keeping my fingers crossed that it will get better, lol. As far as the drops, you could just put one drop in a glass of water, stir it up then only drink half the glass and save the rest for later...

    Yep, 2 weeks. A full 14 days and then I get to start the Prilosec + probiotic portion--that goes for 30 days. I was getting pretty good at feeling them coming on since I had one about every 6 weeks for 3.5 years, but I haven't had one in just over a year (since gluten/casein free) so I kind of forgot, lol. This one did seem different though so not...

    Happy Birthday!!

    Yep, it's definitely the meds. It happened again last night. About 1-1/2 to 2 hours after I took the evening dose I started feeling the lightheadedness and nausea. Pretty definitely sure I have a sinus infection, lol. Had lots of signs this morning. May also now have an ear infection. As bad as the meds make me feel, I think they are clearing...

    I haven't tried that yet, but regular white tea seems to make it feel better. I'll look for it when I go grocery shopping today (never made it anywhere yesterday morning). However the cough only seems to happen in the middle of the night. Last night it was midnight. I felt just fine, but got up to go the restroom and could feel the junk in my chest.....

    Thats for sure! Your upcoming cruise sounds wonderful, but definitely 31 days is a long time if you can't eat, lol. You'll for sure want to take some extra goodies to supplement just in case. On the Princess website there is a section called "cruise personalizer"...under there somewhere is a place for special dietary needs. I checked the box for gluten...

    Thanks Rachel!

    Hope all is well and healing nicely! I had both colonoscopy and endoscopy done at the same time back in April. It combo procedure wasn't bad at all, but you're right, that darned prep is not that fun, lol.

    Oh Laura, YAY!!!!! Sounds like a great doctor!!!! For Lyme experts, lol. How long AFTER you stop antibiotics would it be safe to test for Lyme? I'm thinking of making an appointment with the LLMD now, and not wait until the Bioset results.... Had a really rough afternoon...felt really weird around 10:00...very lightheaded and very weird...couldn...

    Ha, that was TOAST a long time ago, lol.
  11. dlp252
    So I just looked at HOW much of each antibiotic I'm taking, lol. I'm taking 1000 mg of Biaxin (clarithromycin) and 500 mg of Amoxicillin, both TWICE a day, lol. Now THAT should take care of whatever is going on in my head, lol.

    It could be the dairy. I went gluten-free first, then had to cut out dair because of the casein (the protein in dairy as opposed to lactose which is the sugar) when I got my results back from Enterolab. Cutting out those two things took care of a lot of my major issues, but not all...I still have some smaller issues like diarrhea and dizziness which no...

    Sissy, I had not heard from Princess at all by the time we left, but I had faxed in the gluten/casein free request before hand. When we got to our cabin, there was "mail" in our slot (by the cabin door), when we opened it there was a letter from Princess saying they had my special diet request on file and to show the letter from them to the maitre'd. We...

    I already know I'm allergic to molds...highly allergic. That showed up on my initial scratch test 4 or 5 years ago, and it showed up again when we retested last year, still at high levels. That's why my original ENT alway thought I had a candida issue, well that, and the fact that he prescribed TONS of antibiotics for me. I'll be so interested to see...

    Just really wanted to say hello and welcome to the boards! GERD can be related to gluten, but it can also be a condition of some other things and a condition by itself. After a year gluten free, it may be something else though. Don't know about your daughter, but I'm curious what test they do for leaky gut...is that the one where you drink sugary...

    Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dearest Judy, Happy Birthday to you! (And thankfully you can't actually hear me sing that with my throat so sore, lol).
  17. dlp252
    Well that stinks!!! I really is hard to shrug it off. Why is it so hard to shrug it off? I have to get out in the next couple of days and get some gift cards for my mother and aunt and am dreading it cuz people can be so rude at this time of year, and in years past it wouldn't bother me as much, but now, it really gets to me.

    Good girl, lol.

    Thanks Georgie! Sheesh, I stood and stared at the cough medicines on the shelves...there are so many, but I ended up not getting any because they all have sugar or glucose and/or dyes in them. I am going to Whole Foods tomorrow and I'll see if they have anything there that sounds better. I have some prescription stuff that I got last year (hopefully it...

    Thanks Patti and Rachel. I kind of felt like I was pushing it while I was IN Disneyworld, but it's so hard to relax with all that fun minnie appearal to see and buy. Patti - about to send a PM, I thought of a couple of more things re the surgery.

    Thanks Carla, and I hope you feel better soon!!! Speaking of herxing, lol, I've been taking 2.5 grams of Vitamin C for the last 2 days (and took 1500mg the day before that) and so far no herxing...or maybe whatever I have is worse because I'm herxing. Sometimes I'm just too tired to try to figure it out.
  23. dlp252
    Hum, maybe I'll go read there tomorrow (too tired now, lol). I've had the sore throat for 4.5 days now...it was worse today after the good effects of the coughing wore off. But the cough just started early this morning...3 hours in the middle of the night and about 30 minutes this afternoon. What did they give you to combat it? The medicine I am starting...
  24. dlp252
    Well, whatever I've got has moved up into my ear. I can't hear out of my right ear, and earlier it hurt a lot (until I took a tylenol). I woke up this morning at 1:00 and coughed my head off for about 3 hours, which oddly made my throat feel better, I gess cuz it cleared some junk out. I just picked up my antibiotic cocktail for the H.Pylori stuff, and...

    Pink - glad your dad had a great time with no problems. I just got back from a 10 night cruise on Princess, who did a wonderful job making sure I could eat something. I was even able to eat at the buffet safely--one of the head cooks noticed me staring at all the food and asked what I was looking for, so when I started asking him about ingredients, he...
