No, Rachel, you can't feel heat.

Well that sucks. :(

Oh well....it might still work for me. Who knows....it might be exactly what I need. My cells will get supercharged by the light. :D

Anyone see Lake House? I love that one, too.

I saw it. It was alright....not one of my favs though. I think the only reason I really remember it at all is because I saw it the movies with someone special. :wub:

Ok....my Dr. appt. is tomorrow after work...and I'm soooo not prepared. :huh:

I've never met him so I think I'm just gonna go in without a plan and see how it goes.

Does anyone know why I cant use the little dude with sunglasses emoticon?? He just never works anymore. :(

My friend watched the first video I sent her and she's not too excited about the gastric bypass anymore. Thank God! :)

She watched it with a friend who is also considering having it done. They both decided to try to lose weight with diet and exercise first. YAY!

They can help each other stay motivated. I hope it works. :)

I googles rhubarb the other day after i posted about it. Well i found some stuff about it. It is a laxative. And let me tell you all, it sure does it job. Im thinking i only need to eat a few bites a day and ill be all good to go lol. It does have alot of health benefits so its all good. Of course im sure i will react to it sooner or later like i do everything else.

That is awesome. Im so happy for them and for you.

Tell her one way to lose a few pounds is drink some apple cider vinegar with water in the monrning. I know many people have lost weight doing this. And hey there are other health benefits doing it.

I tried once, it was so nasty i could never do it again lol

Ok i went to edit my last post and it disappeared lol. I googled hay and mold and sure it enough it is not good. This all makes sense the other day i went to my room to watch tv and i got really really sleepy. I feel asleep and dont even remember my mom calling me, i always hear the phone. She even called the house phone and my hubby tlaked to her right next to me and i didnt remember. Im a light sleeper, i wake up if the wind blows lol. Hubby said he had to keep seeing if i was breathing. I finally made myself wake up and left my room and felt much better. I guess my hubby is right about the mold and hay.

Im going to go make me a huge bubble to live in lol

Yay about your friend Rachel!!! I'm so happy she has decided to try other means first!!!!

Paula, yeah, I'm pretty sure hay could be moldy.

Well, I just made an appointment with my GI to go over any second opinion results regarding the ampulla. I haven't heard anything from them yet, but it's been at least 3 weeks, so if it's not back by the time I see him something is wrong, lol. He is REALLY busy and at first they said his next opening was in September, but I told them it was a follow-up/second opinion so she sqeezed me in on the 25th. So that's probably over a month after it was sent out, so yeah, it has to be back by then I would think. I'm thinking the reason I haven't heard from them yet is either because I saw him while I was in for my foot surgery and he knew I was down with my foot and would be making an appointment when I could get around, OR they sent it out for a third opinion.

Hay kills me .... and not too many things bother me, so that should tell you something about hay!

tabasco32 Apprentice
Oh dear :huh:

The word is MANY talents, such as pizza making, zeolite selling, and film critiquing, just to name a few.

My apologies to Lisa :lol: (my typing can be atrocious, lots of typos :rolleyes: )

Yes, Dan In Real Life is definitely one to add to your collection Rachel. Don't you think it was such a cute feel good movie?? Made me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, and Steve Carell cracks me up! When he was dancing in the bar I was laughing hysterically, almost crying :lol::lol:

That one post threw me for a loop. :P I was trying to figure it out but I felt like I was suffering from an on coming brain aneurysm so I stopped.

My thoughts were," I didn't know you had to be a talented man to critique a movie." :huh:

I really liked Dan In Real Life, especially when, oh maybe I shouldn't say anything. Don't want to ruin it for the people who haven't seen it yet.

I will watch anything Steve Carell. He Cracks me up. :lol:

Hey Rachel I was thinking maybe you can get one of those Mrs. Beavis typing tutor programs. :)

Just kidding Rachel

I love ya ;)

Rachel,

Yay on your friend and her friend making the decision to BYPASS the GPS. :D

I'll be waiting to hear about your appointment tomorrow. :)B)

Donna,

I certainly hope they have the results/opinion back by the 25th! This is taking too long, IMO.

Donna, glad you are making progress and sorry about the bump on the sore toe. I'd like to see your paintings, sounds fun!

Carla, that's funny that you didn't tell your LLMD about the worms. I told mine, but not about the most recent ones since that happened after my appointment. I don't think he has been surprised. He told me he has a colleague that picked up a tapeworm in China that has simply not been able to get rid of it. Not sure how he/she knows they have it.

April, I was pretty ticked at the lady, enough that I forgot to go to the compounding pharmacy to pick up my DMPS and had to make a second trip. :(

Rachel, thanks for re-posting that quote about Dr. K. Is that information about the lab testing in India in any kind of official format that I could print off and give to a doctor?

I agree with the "head buried in the sand" comment; seems like it is even more like an arrogance that somehow we know it all--and dismiss any other possibility. I just realized that I have a bit of a radar now about health care practitioners that are dismissive about anything outside their experience or training.

About the parasites...I think that before I start my next round of Humaworm, I am going to try some more of the dietary treatments--see if I can figure out more of what might weaken them so the Humaworm works better.

Thats great! You helped her make a more "informed" decision which is great.

We put hay in our garden to keep away the weeds. It seems to stay pretty wet and moist most of the time.

I would think it could definately be the culprit.

Ok i went to edit my last post and it disappeared lol. I googled hay and mold and sure it enough it is not good.

Why is their dog's bed so close to your window? Try sleeping with the window closed and see if that helps. An air cleaner in your room might help too.

So that's probably over a month after it was sent out, so yeah, it has to be back by then I would think.

I hope its because he's super busy.......its so hard waiting....waiting.....waiting. Can the nurse *verify* if the results are at least in the office?

Thanks Lisa! :lol:

But I kind of think I have an advantage right now. I can eat and type at the same time....how many of you can do that?? :P

I'll be waiting to hear about your appointment tomorrow. :)B)

How come you can use the little sunglasses dude and I cant? :huh:

EDIT: SEE.....he wont even show up in my post when I'm quoting you. WTH?? :unsure:

Rachel, thanks for re-posting that quote about Dr. K. Is that information about the lab testing in India in any kind of official format that I could print off and give to a doctor?

No...this is just stuff that Dr. K. shared (from his experience) with one of his patients. They're friends....she posts alot of the info. that she's learned from him over the years. That was from a thread having to do with parasites. She's talked about them alot on LN.

Dr. K calls them the "knights in shining armour"....because they absorb the metals.

Worms, etc. have an unbelievable affinity to store large amounts of metals in their skin without being metabolically disturbed by it. So when a patient is on a heavy metal detox, the worms immediately take that stuff (mercury, tin and other trace metals) coming down into their coat and they become completely invulnerable to our own immune system, because one thing our white cells cannot handle is large amounts is mercury.

Our white cells die when they are trying to gobble up the mercury; and that doesn

My son came here again last night about midnight and used my light, LOL.

I wonder if he is feeling something but not too self aware to pick it up? Sounds like he is getting a bit of a high or something.

Sherry

CarlaB Enthusiast

Well, that could be (that he's not self-aware) .... but I don't know about getting high off it! :lol:

His girlfriend gets migraines, so I think that's part of the reason that he's reading so much about it .... but that wouldn't make him use it all the time.

I see Mia!!! Hi Mia!!!

I hope its because he's super busy.......its so hard waiting....waiting.....waiting. Can the nurse *verify* if the results are at least in the office?

Yeah, I may call by the end of this week just to see if they are actually back.

But I kind of think I have an advantage right now. I can eat and type at the same time....how many of you can do that?? :P

Yes, you got us...it's highly annoying to have to stop eating when I type! :lol: :lol:

Why would anyone wanna use BOTH hands....one hand HAS to be available for munching. Thats my rule. B)

I guess he just comes and goes as he pleases. Thats so NOT cool. :rolleyes:

Rachel--24 Collaborator
I don't know. :unsure: That certainly is odd! :huh:

Yeah...some options are not available to me....so I thought maybe my "cool guy" got taken away too. :lol:

I'm just not cool enough!! :P

Its all seeming very mysterious to me now....there must be *something* about the light! :unsure:

I think I really need one now. I have to admit though....I'm more than a little disappointed that there is no heat coming off of it. :angry:

What the heck kind of light doesnt give off heat?? I asscociate light with heat....and this is a major bummer for me. <_<

Oh yeah...my friend said Prague is beautiful and we're definately going there when I get to Germany. :)

YAY....I get to go to a fairyland!! :D

Hey Carla....what city is Dr. W. in?? My friend is in Grafenwoehr....I wonder how far away that is.

Just another update...

I am having menstrual problems again. :( Since yesterday I have been in horrific pain from cramps. My period is also super heavy, which my gyno didn't want to happen because it's my first period post D&C, and the rate at which I'm bleeding is "bad." So I called her office today to ask for something stronger than vicodin (took 2 and NOTHING happened! :o ) and they called me back and lectured me saying I should have called sooner.

So they are forcing me to go in on an emergency basis first thing tomorrow morning. I'm not very happy about this all. I've truly never had so much pain though, as far as cramps. It has been awful.

On a happier note, I've been on the alinia and malarone for a few days now, and it seems to be going well. The alinia is causing some bad diarrhea though, so Dr B said if it continues to call Dr H and we'll have to switch meds.

I had another NAET treatment today for cortisol. She said that is the cause of my menstrual pain...so who knows? All I know is I'm really tired from it. I also had a treatment yesterday for Babesia and that kicked my butt also. :rolleyes: Hopefully this will all start to work soon.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian, We need more information, please.   What homeopathic remedies or medications are you taking now?  Do you still have the blood pressure and other symptoms?  What is included in your diet currently?  Dairy? Oats?  Processed gluten free foods?  Vegetarian?  Other food allergies?  Do you take vitamins?  When gluten is removed from the diet, the body stops making the anti-gluten antibodies that are usually measured in blood tests used to diagnose Celiac disease.  To measure the anti-gluten antibodies, you would have to consume 10 grams of gluten (4-6 slices of bread or equivalent) per day for a minimum of 2 weeks or longer.   A DNA test which looks for the most common genes for Celiac Disease may be a less invasive avenue to pursue.  Has your doctor checked you for nutritional deficiencies? Glad you're here!

      @SaiP, Insomnia is listed as one of the side effects of Loratadine.   Niacin B3 in the form Tryptophan, Pyridoxine B 6, Folate B 9, Cobalamine B12, Magnesium, and Thiamine B 1 are needed to produce the sleep hormone melatonin.  Insomnia can also be caused by low Vitamin D and low Vitamin A.   A strict gluten free diet can be low in essential  vitamins.   Gluten containing products are required to replace vitamins lost in processing and milling.  Gluten free processed foods are not required to have vitamins added.  White rice is not a good source of B vitamins.  Brown rice is little better.  Exposure to light (even grocery store lights) and heat (during transportation) can destroy B vitamins.   B vitamins are easily lost in urine and diarrhea because they are water soluble.  If you have had diarrhea longer than two weeks, you are probably low in B vitamins.  Fat based vitamins, like Vitamins D and A, can be low due to fat malabsorption in Celiac disease, too.   Damaged villa in Celiac Disease do not absorb B vitamins and fat based vitamins and minerals well.  Supplementing with essential nutrients while villi heal boosts the ability to absorb essential vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are stored and utilized inside cells.  Blood levels are not accurate measurements of vitamin deficiencies.  You can have normal blood levels while having deficiencies inside cells.  The brain orders cells to release their stores so the brain and heart can keep functioning.  This results in normal blood levels, but vitamin deficits inside cells.   Your indulgence in a little bit of bread is providing some, but insufficient amounts, of vitamins needed to make sleep hormone melatonin while keeping your inflammation and histamine production high.   In addition to a B Complex, I took 1000 mg of tryptophan before bed to correct my insomnia caused by high histamine levels.  Correcting my Vitamin D level to between 75-100 nmol/ml helped as well.  Also Passion flower extract is helpful in falling asleep quickly.   Please stop eating gluten bread as this will keep your autoimmune response triggering and your antibody levels won't go down and your histamine levels will stay up as well.   Celiac is a marathon, not a sprint.  P.S. I wanted to reiterate that insomnia and weight loss are symptoms of Thiamine deficiency.  Benfotiamine is a form of thiamine that promotes intestinal healing.  Thiamine is water soluble and nontoxic even in high doses.  High doses are needed to correct thiamine deficiency. All mitochondria in cells utilize thiamine.  The World Health Organization says to take 500 - 1000 mg per day of thiamine and look for health improvement.  Diets that are high in carbohydrates like rice and gluten require more thiamine.  For every 1000 calories from carbohydrates, we need 500 mg more thiamine.  Thiamine is found in meat.  Few veggies contain thiamine. Can you rise from a squat without assistance?  This is the field test for thiamine deficiency used by WHO.  If you cannot rise easily from a squat you may be thiamine deficient.

      Earlier, you mentioned the possibility of adding in sweet potatoes. Have you tried that? Have you tried sourdough bread? Some people with celiac disease claim they can eat sourdough without a gluten reaction. The fermentation process alters the protein somewhat.

      Welcome to the forum, @Karen Chakerian! So, for the sake of clarity, you have self-diagnosed yourself as having celiac disease but are not officially diagnosed by medical testing. Is this correct?
    • Karen Chakerian
      I’m 70 years old and have RA for 25 years. I’d never had digestive issues or even heard of celiac until 2 months ago.  6 years ago I started having serious diarrhea, dropped what little weight I had,  became very exhausted, developed rapid onset blood pressure and other symptoms. I went to the doctor for an unrelated matter and even with my records he told me they have ‘pills’ for all those things; which I turned down and sought to deal with this with homeopathic remedies.  Mid October 2024 my guts hurt terribly and started to swell. My massage therapist asked about celiac and I started to do research on it. It absolutely fits all the symptoms so I’ve been gluten free since 2 days before Thanksgiving but the huge gut persists. Thankfully the pain and cramps are gone. I look like a 90# pregnant skeleton.  I’m exhausted and looking for some encouragement from the tribe. I have good days and bad. I know living with an autoimmune disease sucks but this is even worse than the RA.
