    Are those all in the eyes?!?! That looks very bothersome.

    Candida is an overgrowth of yeast in your body.....primarily your intestinal track. Antibiotics cause alot of problems because they kill of good bacteria in the gut. Mercury from fillings and/or seafood can cause toxicity in some people and the body will allow candida to grow to keep the mercury locked in place.

    Ok, I've tried responding to this twice and I've gotten locked up. I have posted some recipes from cookbooks I have/had. Please go to my user name and view profile. From there you can scroll through my topics. You're looking for gluten free dairy free soy free (except a couple) egg free. Keep in mind that you may go through withdrawals but it...

    Yay on the eggs! I hope you continue to do well with them too.

    I'm not sure about the pans but my whole house is gluten free. My husband was the only one without a problem but he has 2 celiac genes so went gluten free with the rest of us. It would be a good idea to ask her if she'd be willing to go gluten free at home so you don't have to worry about cross contamination. As Carla said, that can keep you sick. ...

    Drew, Check out the following site. Open Original Shared Link Some good info you can click through for more information.

    Wouldn't be a bad idea.

    I use Freeda vitamins. They are pretty good and free of many things. Have you got the biopsy results back? If it is positive, then you have celiac. Have you checked all your personal care products, thrown out scratched nonstick stuff, plastic also is hard to get clean. If you have checked everything and know that gluten is not getting in anywhere...

    Boy Donna! You're appointment sounded scary. I would have been scared too. I had an incident when Talitha was a baby (I think it was her and not Micah) where I couldn't move my hands, couldn't make a fist. Scared me to death. I think it lasted around 20 minutes. I called the doctor but they were no help.

    Amalgams are silver colored fillings in your teeth. Would you be open to seeing a LLMD? They test for more than lyme and are very thorough. A naturopath or holistic doctor may be able to run some tests as well.

    Sherry, I don't know if you use eggs or not but I've found it doesn't fall so much (if at all) with eggs versus with egg replacer.

    Sandy, PM Rachel--24. She's had the RAI and can talk to you about that. Things she's learned etc.

    Something definately got stirred up with the antibiotics. What is the puzzle piece that needs to be found. It could be gluten or gluten could just be part of the fix until you get to the real problem. Why were you on so many rounds of antibiotics (if you don't mind sharing)? How long have you been so restricted in what you eat? That's a pretty small...
  14. AndreaB
    Yep, they are totally interchangeable.
  15. AndreaB
    We are glad you're back as well. I think the CD57 is pretty specific for lyme. It's used as an indicator of how the lyme infection is doing. Rachel and Charlie would probably be able to say more about it.......maybe Donna too.
  16. AndreaB
    I can definately relate. School......we haven't finished and Seth is down for a nap. I don't like doing school during nap time so I guess we'll wait. She can do her paperwork but I've got to go over the book part.
  17. AndreaB
    I wouldn't have known if you hadn't told me. I think I can make it out now that I know what it is.
  18. AndreaB
    Susan, I love all the photos of you and the girls (or girl ) Have to agree with Laura.......you don't look 45!
  19. AndreaB
    Donna, Just noticed your new avatar and I'm sure you'll be telling us about it when you get back over here. Another cute one btw.
  20. AndreaB
    We are sooooooo glad you are back. Get all the mainline testing you can get and try to talk your cousin into helping with a hair analysis/urine challenge mercury test with a holistic type doctor (or better yet, LLMD).
  21. AndreaB
    Lisa, I would strongly suggest you search out an LLMD or at the very least a holistic/naturopath doctor. A good LLMD will test for many things.....not just lyme. Any lyme test you have done needs to be done through Igenex. With you feeling so poorly, something else is going on. If your scopes are clean it's just one more test that is ruled out...

    I haven't tried another tiny dose of mine yet. I only had 1/8 tsp (mine is powder), a dose is 1/2 tsp. I felt nauseous the whole day and I'm not too thrilled with the idea of taking it again but I suppose I should try one more time. What's the charcoal do. I know they give that for amalgam removal. Is it a mop up thing?
  23. AndreaB
    Aw, thanks. I put the date with it because I assume all of you will be retesting at whatever intervals to see how things are going.
  24. AndreaB
    Ok, here's the CD57 results as we know them so far. Mia, if you find yours I'll add it in. Laura didn't get it done. Carla, do you know if you did? Reference range 60-300 <20 highly advanced/ 20-60 active/ >60 less active/ > 200 normal Charlie /May 07 /60/ Rachel /May 07 /78 Donna /May 07 /84 Bev /May 07 /3...
  25. AndreaB
    Sounds like you went through the wringer this morning. I was waiting for your post on the CD57 test. Now I'm very curious to see what you Igenex tests report.
