    My night sweats have increased since we switched to wireless access. I think it will be easy to find out, I'll just switch back to the cable. I tend to do my computer time in 15 minute increments, but it is always running. Donna, it does seem overwhelming and I can see why your doctor would be so concerned about your living and working situations...

    I'm tired of being insulted too. And sorry about the test.

    Hi Jin, Dingo'd if I said this before but I'm sorry you don't feel like the exam went well. I'm hoping that you're wrong. Doing it over wouldn't be fun but at least you would know what you were in for. I do think you are an extraordinarily creative person and your writing is brilliant. I laugh so often at your use of language and appreciate...

    Hi. If you google MSG and health risks you will find a great deal of information about it. In my opinion it is not a good thing for anybody at anytime. It is an excitotoxin, it stimulates the brain to send messages that say "eat, eat, eat" and studies have linked it to obesity and alzheimers. Perhaps you have already done this though. I...

    Miamia, I'm glad this doctor was so thorough, sorry it was such an exhausting day but hopefully the answers will more than make up for that. Read through, but I can't say I'm positive I completely understand but everything you said made sense to me. Yes Andrea, have a safe trip. I look forward to hearing how it went...

    How rude of me. Happy belated birthday.

    We talked about this a while back, it seemed like mostly everyone had problems with earings and glutening. Congratulations on catching up. It is a real accomplishment at times.

    I've heard anything below 500 is reason for concern. Interesting about the chart being different. Even so yours are pretty low. It is like the chart is designed only to show a critical situation as critical but there is a long way down before it gets to that point. If you can see a naturapath they give the methyl B shots which are better...

    Donna, I honestly don't know how you manage to work, I know I would be exhausted at the end of each day too. I was explaining to a friend today that when you are really ill even responding to a friend's concerned email can be more than you can deal with. I know there are days when just feeding myself is all I am inclined to do. As I have felt...

    Tom, glad you are enjoying the ups and downs of travel.

    Just a few words of caution about flaxseed if your digestive tract is inflamed. It can feel like you have eaten gravel all the way through. Metamucil was even worse, it was like broken glass.

    Hi, when I first became ill I suspected that I had AS in addition to Celiac, my mother has AS and I have a sister and brother with Celiac, so it seemed likely. I kept investigating though and was diagnosed with Lyme disease last October.

    Where were your B12 levels in April? I ask because my doctor told me my B12 levels were fine but when I investigated I learned that they were in fact very low. I was having the problems you describe and they cleared up with shots and the sublinguals. The copy of my tests I got had a chart on it that showed B12 levels anywhere between 178 and 7...

    Me too. LMAO Scientific Spice.

    All the more reason to. I realized that for more information on the Elisa you could use the search function at the top of the page. Just type in Elisa and you'll see the check for this forum only, hit go and lots of responses come up.

    Bev, glad you are having a 5+5 day, I must not be be because I missed it. Thanks for the update Andrea. Well, I managed to write two checks and now if I can find some blank cheques I'll write another one. I am not good with these kinds of tasks and tend to procrastinate. We had some work done on our bathroom recently and I got a...

    Again, I'm not very helpful as I don't know what the numbers mean. But I thought I would at least bump this thread up again. Are you keeping a food journal? Many of us have found it very helpful in tracking our reactions.

    Ooh la la, very nice. I had been wondering whether or not it was your new car or your wishing for a new car.

    Hi and welcome. Yes, it is hard especially at first but it gets easier and feeling better is so worth it. I've also had to give up dairy, grains, nightshades, soy and a few other things and the truth is I don't often miss them. If I am thinking about a rice tortilla wrap for a few weeks I will even have one and right away I know my body doesn...

    I know what you mean about stuff. Sorry that it is such a stress though. What about packing one, doesn't have to be big, bag a day of things you just aren't that attached to and when you have a collection of them calling the Diabetes Foundation, up here in Canada they pick up from your house every couple of months, or someone like them. I know...

    Sorry to hear that you are feeling so badly. Is it possible to take a sick day when you feel like this? How long have you been gluten free? I found that after going gluten free I also had to go dairy free. I once loved cheese. I have problems with processed products and have found that a gluten free label does not make it safe for...

    Hi and welcome. Sorry, I can't help you with the test but I have seen it mentioned here and I am sure someone will be along who can help you. I am glad to hear that so many issues are improving for you on a gluten free diet. I don't know what could have caused your panic attack last night since you were being so careful. Is there any chance...

    Hi and welcome. I hadn't heard the term geographic tongue before and so I googled it, I did find something that mentioned a B vitamin deficiency which is, I believe, common to celiacs. My B12 levels were critically low by the time I got really ill and B12 shots have helped, I am also taking a sublingual B vitamin. I avoid all products which...

    No I haven't but I am thinking of it because I have some bridgework that needs to be done. If you have it done I would be curious as to what you thought. Donna, sorry your appointment didn't provide you with a sense of where you are going next with treatment. The good news might be that you are doing well with what you are doing. Other than that...
