    Sounds great!!! I'm leaving in a few weeks on Princess to the Panama Canal, so I'm happy to hear it can be done. I've sailed with Princess before, but not since being diagnosed, but in my previous sailings they've been very good about trying to accomodate dietary requirements. Great, I'm getting really excited again, lol!

    Nope, you're not the only one! What I eat directly affects all parts of my body including mental function and emotions, so I'd tend to agree with you!!!! Sugar really does affect me negatively...I get mood swings, etc.

    Sure, I have all the charges with me...they gave me estimates for the whole mouth...be prepared, it's a shocker, lol. I'll PM you in a bit. Thanks Laura! Yah, a slow one, lol. I didn't really respond to anyone else's post...just a driveby. 3 more to go...the second one starts on Nov. 8! I was trying to...

    Oh Andrea, I woke up about the time you went to bed, lol. Had a "bad" dream that someone was taking my computer (at work) with the managing partner standing right there and I said something like why are you taking my computer, and they said "oh, do you need it?", LOL. Woke me up out of a dead sleep!!!! Holy cow, if they took my computer I couldn't talk...

    Oh Rachel...I think I'm going to have to start cutting and pasting this mercury/metal stuff to a document. I'm sure I'll need this info once I get the mercury out.

    No, you didn't miss it, I didn't elaborate ...they want me to go on a hypallergenic diet. So they want me to leave out stuff that is problematic for a lot of people like eggs, beef, pork, soy, etc. Also have to leave out citrus, strawberries and dried fruit, margarine, peanuts. No coffee, not even decaf, no soda No corn, or or other grains...

    Wow, either of those two places would be wonderful...heck, I'd settle for something that had a YARD, lol. Course with all the Rachelvillians it'd have to be a BIG yard.

    I get that from time to time as well. No doctor has ever been able (or actually made much of an attempt) to figure it out. IBS is what I've been told, but the pain is excruiating and when it hits, I can barely stand up. Mine isn't relieved by gas, but sometimes feels like it would if I had a bowel movement...only it doesn't really relieve it then either...

    This is absolutely the worst part...I hate being hungry, lol. I think I did the same thing on my first scope...didn't sleep at all, but don't worry, they'll give you some nice drugs soon. I actually took a Cliff Nectar bar with me and on the ride home wolfed that sucker down, lol.
  11. dlp252
    Oh yah, I was just trying to stay natural, lol. By-the-way, still haven't been able to find those darned things, but may have found something just as good.

    It was Dr. Vikki (Dr. Rick's wife)...she did my nutrition evaluation. I thought these sounded like some of the tests you mentioned way back at the beginning of all this, lol. I have to call them on the spit test though. The test has some VERY specific hours that you are supposed to spit in, lol. The 10:00p.m.-12:00a.m. one just won't work for me, lol...

    I'm a little nervous about the removal for some reason, lol, not sure why exactly, maybe the needles sticking me with mind numbing drugs or maybe the drilling... not sure Actually, no I don't have ANYTHING I need for the diet, lol. My freezer is full of BEEF, nothing but beef. I have a few veggies, and a little fruit, but not much else. I'm trying...
  14. dlp252
    Ditto! I'd add apples and peanut butter to my list!
  15. dlp252
    Ditto on the emotional rollercoaster and the drama, lol. I marched into my manager's office today and said basically that I don't know why she wanted my opinion because it didn't make a bit of difference. Got a little fed up, lol. She was looking at me like --> Laura, glad you are home! Sounds like this appointment went much better than...

    Holy cow, then I'd be in trouble, lol. I don't ever get 4 hours of uninterrupted sleep and I don't even have kids, or a husband, or even a dog, lol. Okay, sorry, I'm just monitoring this thread because it may be applicable, but I just had to post on that.
  18. dlp252
    See, there ya go, lol!
  19. dlp252
    Yes, something to keep in mind for the Rachelville salon!
  20. dlp252
    Better than the stool test one doctor gave me which I just threw in the garbage, lol. This was from the same doctor that ONLY TOOK my pulse and said I seemed fine on the day I went to see her for extreme dizzyness, nausea, chest pain, racing heart and extremly low blood pressure and near fainting incident. Forget why she gave it to me, and I've certainly...

    Family can be tough! Mine were very supportive fortunately and didn't need much to support my gluten-freeness. I have a celiac gene and a gluten sensitivity gene, but because my biopsy/blood tests were negative, I do not have a diagnosis of celiac. Now, my blood test and biopsy was done SIX months AFTER I went gluten-free AND before that I had been on...

    Hi! I believe that from the time I sent the kit in to the time I got the results was about 2.5 weeks. It was almost a year ago though, but I know it wasn't longer than 3 weeks. I got the big package including, eggs, casein, gene testing etc.

    This just broke my heart! I am so sorry! I don't offer a lot of advice because frankly, I can't remember half of what I've learned here, so from time to time I just reply to post with the hug offering thing...this is one of those times. I don't have an explanation as to why this happens, but just offering you compassion because I've been in your situation...
  25. dlp252
    No, but sounds interesting!! Good luck at the appointment, can't wait to hear about it! I don't know. I've been tested two times for food allergies, the first time about 3 years ago (by skin scratch) and only showed slight reactions to 4 foods: Barley, canteloupe, white grapes and yellow squash. Out of those 4 I hardly ever...
