Omg...i Might Be On To Something


Rachel--24

I have not been posting much, this flu has completely wiped me out. So I haven't been to the store or able to cook, but I had to go to work (huge project) so I went and bought lunch.

Long story short... I got a veggie burger (w/out bun) instead of a plain hamburger, even after going through the order twice with the waitress.

I consumed one forkful before realizing it. The burger contained bulgar and breadcrumbs.

This was a 1pm

I was more upset than sad. I couldn't even eat anything else. Got my money back and left. Now in the middle of having the flu I am now freaking out that my digestive issues are about to go to the n power.

In a way I guess this will be a "test" as to whether or not I have celiac disease.

Any advice or time line for bodily response? (I have been gluten free for 6 months, some blood work indicative of celiac, some not, and biopsies that are "normal")

cursing like a truck driver,

Kristina

Kristina,

I'm sorry that happened. I have no idea what to expect. I usually get severly nauseated after being glutened...like within 25 minutes or so.

Paula,

I know...between this thread and now online chatting...FORGET IT! LOL! :lol:

I also got a Yahoo messenger thing...chatting with Andrea right now, but I can't see the messages at all! Wierd! If anyone wants my name...PM me.

melmak5 Contributor

Thanks Kassandra.

I tried to puke it up, but I just couldn't.

I feel like a messed-up Mr. Wizard experimental body.

I want to chat! :angry::lol: Stupid work firewall! :angry::lol:

Aw Kristina, I'm so sorry that happened to you! I don't know of much to do except drink lots of water, and not even sure that would really help.

AndreaB Contributor
I blew up the microwave so i have to wait for my eggs to boil now and i need to eat.

Oops. Sorry Paula.

I want to chat! :angry::lol: Stupid work firewall! :angry::lol:

You just need to get on when you get home. :lol:

My daugher loves messenger......she's busy reading instead of doing her schoolwork, which she is almost done with. :D

I'm a slow typist though considering that my job is typing, lol. I tried to chat once with my little cousin...I was about 5 questions behind all the time...I finally had to tell her to STOP while I caught up answering. :P

Lol Donna! Does it allow Yahoo messenger? My dad's work used to have all kinds of firewalls but he was allowed to use Yahoo for some reason.

I am pretty fast, but I have friends who type like freakin' speedsters! :D

Here's something I found about parasites and insomnia:

"Parasites produce a great deal of ammonia as their waste product. Ammonia is their equivalent of urine and it is set free in our bodies by parasites in large amounts. Ammonia is very toxic, especially to the brain. I believe this causes insomnia and other sleep problems at night and anxiety by day."

Also I found out that wormwood (humaworm ingredient) can cause insomnia.

mftnchn Explorer
I can't believe it either! :o:lol: I am a big kid at heart, so I think that helps, lol. I'll be 53!

We're almost the same, Donna. I will be too...toward the end of the year though.

That's interesting Sherry.

I had thought wormwood had a narcotic effect in the body. When I was taking wormwood/black walnut complex I always felt really fatigued.

Ok since we are talking about worms i have an question, i was just talking to my mom earlier today and she said when she was a kid she had worms and they made her sit over an bucket of hot water, but that is all she remembers, would that be pin worms or something else, and she remembers she was so sick as a child and so skinny and ill and everyone felt sorry for her. This would not be sent down to me would it?

I haven't talked much about my laser, but I use it pretty regularly. You're not supposed to do the detox stuff for 8 weeks, so I have been using the other "laser balancing" stuff.

This herx was the worst I've had in a long time. I don't know why .... but the Tindamax doesn't help! It was also my first month on Rifampin, so that could have contributed, too.

Anyway, this morning I decided to do the detox one for drugs. I feel better this afternoon and still have tomorrow to go on my Tindamax. I don't know that the drug compilation helped at all, but it didn't make me feel bad.

This laser, from what I understand, works the same as LED, but there aren't as many vials to choose from.

Well, I just thought I'd give you a laser update.

Here's info about the laser

Open Original Shared Link

Some here have used LED for detoxing .... I thought I'd try this laser, which is similar and something I can do at home. I thought that if I wanted to do more serious detoxing with lasers, then I could go to someone for the LED.

AndreaB Contributor

Thanks for the update on the laser Carla. :)

I'm glad they are helping you. :D

Hum, I don't know, lol. I've tried a few different chat rooms, but not Yahoo or MSN. Typing...I'm extra slow because I don't know all the shortcuts...I don't text, so I'd be typing out whole words, lol.

You must be close to my good friend (the one that I always travel with, lol). I am 6 months older than she is and she never lets me forget it. :lol:

You're making me want one!!!! :P

confusedks Enthusiast

Donna,

You'd get used to it. :P

Carla,

How many Theralac do you take in a day? We just ordered some.

CarlaB Enthusiast

And, Donna, you should have one. :)

Honestly, it's hard to tell whether I've had benefit from it or not. I know our parakeet has, LOL. That's why I wanted to start detoxing with it.

Kassandra, I take one every day.

confusedks Enthusiast

Carla,

Okay. Thanks, I was going to ask the LLMD and still will, but I was wondering how much you took. :)

Everyone,

I was just reading on LN about nightmares and it reminded me! I had another nightmare last night!! :( I was being stabbed with a knife by these two men, but then I stabbed one back and KILLED him! :huh::lol::o Ahhh, how awful!? I don't know what the deal is with this! <_<

Hey everyone, hi everyone hi.

Well it's been 3 days, no ice cream. :D

Went for laser therapy and acupuncture yesterday. It went well.

Dr. M. says I'm going to live. That's good news huh. :)

I hate acupunture. I don't like needles at all. Some don't hurt, some do. The one he put in my labia and in my gums hurt though. Is someone else going to start to see Dr. M.? Dee was mentioning it but he says we can't talk about other patients so the

conversation ceased. I bought some dried organic apricots from him, about 3 pounds worth for constipation, some unbuffered vitamin c. Man that stuff cleaned me out today which is good I suppose.

I'm at the library. It smells sooo perfumy in herer that I can taste it yuck.

Dee was getting dizzy after the laser therapy yesterday. She had to leave the room because of all the toxins coming off my body. SHe held my hand during acupunture. Like I was having a baby or something, and my hand was sweating, she could taste my toxins. She said they taste like iron. :blink:

I will be doing ecoffees now 2 to 3 times a week. Doc wants me doing them.

Well times almost up.

Take care guys

your friend

lisa

CarlaB Enthusiast

labia? Isn't that a pretty personal area for acupuncture? :o

I'm glad you're making progress!

confusedks Enthusiast

Carla,

I thought the same thing! :lol::o:blink: I'm hoping she meant something else!

      @LynnM, when you say, "today, his numbers were high", what numbers do you refer to? Are you speaking of celiac antibody scores? Can you be more specific and can you post the test names, the numbers and the reference ranges for the tests? So, I am understanding you to say that topical exposure to gluten doesn't cause him GI reactions but ingestion of gluten does but at the same time you are attributing the "high numbers" to the topical exposure?
    • Ginger38
      So I recently had blood work and my hemoglobin, hematocrit, protein and alkaline phosphatase were all low. They have never been low in the past but since august of last year I have been on the in and off gluten rollercoaster as I mentioned in previous posts. Should I be concerned with these new findings? I am worried I have made myself really sick and done damage or something this past year 
    • LynnM
      Thank you Scott. My son doesn't have a reaction topically, only when ingested. Interestingly though, the doc told us the face cream getting gluten into his bloodstream doesn't do the damage akin to when gluten is ingested. He had no reaction when using the face cream, it only presented in blood-work. I'm hopeful from all the comments today and will wait for the GI doc to reply. If he is cleared to use it, I will encourage SHIELD to get a gluten-free certification

      It’s great that you’re taking the time to research products carefully for your son with celiac disease—especially since accidental gluten exposure through skincare can be a real concern for sensitive individuals. Based on the ingredient lists you’ve shared, none of the products appear to contain obvious sources of gluten like wheat, barley, or rye derivatives. Ingredients like glycerin and tocopherols (not listed here but often a concern) can sometimes be derived from wheat, but many manufacturers use plant-based or synthetic sources. SHIELD’s transparency and willingness to share their full ingredient list is a good sign, and their note about not intentionally adding gluten is reassuring. Still, because ingredient sourcing can vary and sensitivities differ from person to person, it’s wise that you’ve reached out to your GI specialist to be sure these products are safe for your son’s specific needs. In the meantime, if you do try any of the products, consider patch-testing them first and watching closely for any signs of skin irritation or reactions. PS - Most people with celiac disease won't react to skin products that may contain gluten, but I still recommend finding gluten-free products.

      Greetings Trents and Scott. This is the first time I'm posting here so I apologize in advance if I'm not replying properly. My 13 YO was diagnosed at age 5 and once gluten was removed from his diet, he grew 3" in a year, skin became much better and dark circles around his eyes disappeared. Today his numbers were very high and our new dietician discovered his face cream (Clinique dramatically different lotion) contained gluten. My fault for not checking.    His acne really has only just started and he's using OCT gluten-free products but the SHIELD is nothing short of miraculous for my 16 YO son and the 13 YO is eager to start. I will await his dietician's reply or google each ingredient.    I don't want to put him on that Rx as it's not that bad and isn't painful either. Just a boy starting 8th grade and doesn't want bad acne.    When I hear back I will circle back.
