I had my appt. with Dr. P....I totally like him so far!! :D

Wow, sounds like a GREAT appointment. That's it...after I find out about the ampulla thing, I'll start thinking about seeing Dr. P! :lol: Also VERY interested in the voodoo lady! :lol:

On a side note, I'm really excited about these NAET treatments I'm having done. I am feeling better...having about a decent day at least once a week. She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

Yay!!!! Yes, and listen to her!!! This is what we were talking about a couple of days ago...it's easy to overdo when we feel good.

Speaking of pins (and needles) LOL, I have been sewing like crazy...made a dress for one of my daughter's bridesmaids...to see if my daughter likes it for the wedding. She hasn't seen it yet, but I think it looks great.

Wow, you are very talented!!!

What's a voodoo lady? Is she a healer or something?

Nah, someone who is more alternative. It's our little nickname for someone who does testing/treatment outside of the mainstream. BioSET or ART is considered voodoo by most people, lol.

I can't wait to be telling you all about the fun stuff I will be doing...SOON! :):D

Kassandra,

I am so glad that the NAET treatments are working for you! Hope you can get that bleeding under control.

April-

I wondered about that...but i don't know. I get thyroid hormone toxicity...it's not an allergic reaction, it's like an overdose and only when I take T3.

I know of a place that does NAET. I will call and ask them.

Thanks for the idea-

Nancy (nanjkay)

Does it have to be filtered through the liver? I know the liver has to filter a lot of hormones and if its blocked then the hormones build up in the body causing toxicity.

I wonder if Naet or acupuncture would help with this. Sounds like you and Rachel are similar.

I loved Music and Lyrics also, mainly because Hugh Grant can do NO wrong in my book.

I totally agree with you about Hugh Grant Nancy!

That is so cool you are a movie critic for your newspaper. I LOVE watching movies too, having every movie channel on cable helps the cause :lol:

But I am a real Star Wars freak. I'll watch anything Star Wars. I don't care if it's good or not. And I will go see Attack of the Clones. :D

I know I'm a nerd.

:lol: Lisa, you're not a nerd!

I loved the older Star Wars movies. I haven't watched the new generation stuff though, can you believe that? Is it as good as the older ones?

I went to the gyno today and of course my pain was gone! LOL! :lol: She said if I had gone in yesterday she would have given me a shot of a narcotic to help...since nothing was helping.

On a side note, I'm really excited about these NAET treatments I'm having done. I am feeling better...having about a decent day at least once a week. She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

But it's amazing to have days where I don't feel like I'm dying. :) I don't feel great, but definitely some improvement. :D

Just wanted to report some happy stuff along with all the other crazy stuff that's going on for me.

Kassandra, good to hear from you!! I have been thinking about you, hoping you have been ok :wub:

I'm so happy the NAET treatments are making a difference for you, and I'm glad the cramping pain is gone.

Ditto on how amazing you are!!!!! Keep hanging in there :)

Everyone, I am starting to feel like a pincushion I am taking so many shots. Lets see, its up to 13 a week I think.

Sherry, you are so brave! Just the thought of needles and being stuck makes my veins hide :lol:

That's so neat you are making the bridesmaid dresses for your daughter's wedding :)

Hubby starts an 11 day vacation. Im hoping to keep feeling good so we can do soemthing on this vacation, unlike last vacation lol

I hope you have some good days so you can do something fun while your hubby is on vacation Paula :)

I forgot to mention that he wanted to do an iodine test. Anyone familiar with that??

I did an iodine test years ago Rachel, I painted iodine on a body part (like the top of my foot or abdomen in a 4 inch by 4 inch square I think) and if it absorbed quickly it meant you were deficient in iodine...something like that.

But I don't think that is the type of iodine test you are talking about.

I started Enula last night. 1 drop 2 times a day, then I move up from there.

Yay April. How do you feel so far?? Probably too early to tell :lol:

And Carla- did you ever ask Dr. H if it was OK to take ALA with Mepron?

Carla- do you think removing the bartonella from the GI has rid you of your food intolerances?

I did not ask because the PA specifically told me to keep taking the ALA at the same appt. she prescribed the Mepron.

I think the bart treatment was one piece of the puzzle, but I think that the parasites were an even bigger piece.

I did see the new Batman and I thought it was too long and I didn't care about the characters or what happened to them. The action was good, but it was too depressing. I liked Iron Man much better. I can't wait to see Tropic Thunder with Ben Stiller and Robert Downey Jr.

Nancy

I was beginning to think I was the only one out there who didn't like Batman. I loved the last one. This one considered the Joker to be the comedic relief, which though the performance was excellent, it was too intense to be the comedic relief for the movie. It was too dark.

I loved Iron Man .... and Hancock.

She told me to slow down and NOT go overboard on the decent days because I have no "reserve" and it will be self defeating.

But it's amazing to have days where I don't feel like I'm dying. :) I don't feel great, but definitely some improvement. :D

I'm glad you're making progress. I know what you mean about these days .... It was hard to lay down and rest when I was feeling good, but I forced myself so that I could use some of that energy for healing.

Oh...about the one-fingered typing. I think I type just as fast as you guys...AND I still have a free hand! :P

No way. I type very fast, without looking. You can't move your one finger around the keyboard as fast as I can type. We will have to have a typing contest sometime. :lol:

I hope the Lyme isn't binding the metals for you. Sounds like a great doc.

Completely off topic....

I'm just sitting here watching a VERY greedy squirrel hanging off my neighbors hanging bird feeder eating all the bird seed. Two birds just tried to land and the darned squirrel just ran them off. He's discovered that the top comes off and almost fell inside. :lol:

Birds are lining up on the roof waiting for the thing to get off, but nope, dang squirrell is going to clean that feeder out of every single seed. :lol::P

Did you know squirrels can eat upside down! :lol:

Oooopps he just jumped off....small bird jumped on. :P

Does anybody know what causes those little tiny blood blister looking things all over the body? They are just little tiny raised bumps that are bright red like blood......

Have we talked about these before? I don't even know what I would look for in a search.

Mercury.

According to my dentist, it's where mercury blocked a vessel and a way around was made.....something like that anyway.

I can follow trails of them on me and hubby has them too.

Donna,

Squirrels are definately pigs and love bird seed! We had an open feeder that one would climb in and gorge on......that was many years ago......like 10-12 years ago.

Mine were caused by bartonella. They're called petechiae.

I don't think the raised ones are petachae...I've got both. One doctor said the raised ones where cherry angiosomething....nothing serious. Now, she was a regular duck and I fired her eventually, so while I believe they are nothing serious, I do think they have a cause...just don't know what they are. I also have petachae (sp??)...those are not raised but look just like a spot of blood...sort of like you were pricked by a tiny pin.

I have some bookmarks at work...I'll see if I can remember some and post in a minute.

I think Bartonella causes tiny red blisters.

EDIT: I see Carla already mentioned this. :)

I have two of them. One on my breast and one on my leg...only slightly raised. I dont get additional ones....just the same two I've had for most of the time I've been sick.

For some reason at times they will appear to be a brighter red.

I have no idea what caused them....but I'm fairly certain its not Bart.

Yeah, I've got lots and lots of both kinds...raised and not raised. Fortunately for me the unraised ones are really really small so barely show up. The raised ones are mostly on my chest/abdomen and a couple on my legs.

Mine doesnt sound like either of those.

Its never gotten larger like the cherry angioma...and it doesnt look like the pic.

It also doesnt disappear....its always there...the only thing that changes is that sometimes its brighter.

Thats actually what mine look like. There's only two though....they're both real small like in the pic.

I've had these same two for years now. What could it be? :unsure:

Yep, the picture is what mine look like to, with the exception of one which is raised. My dentist says they are caused by mercury. He has a lot of them.

Yay April. How do you feel so far?? Probably too early to tell :lol:

I don't think the new ones are as good. But it could be nastalgia. I went to all the star wars movies with my dad. I was a kid and it seemed like such a "big" kid movie for some reason.

I feel fine - nothing wierd yet!

I was told those are cherry angioma's. Sort of like a capillary that bursts at the skin.

I have some on my chest area.

Mercury.

Could be that too. I never had any until I became overloaded with toxins.

Mine look more like the Petechie. I got mine when I was most toxic and my lymph system was really blocked.

April, I got mine when I was most toxic too. All of a sudden I got two red dots...out of nowhere...and it loooks like I'm stuck with them now. :rolleyes:

This reminds me...and I dont know if I mentioned it yet??

Remember the vein that got damaged during one of my mineral IV's. It was really swollen, hard and discolored...and the nurses said it would probably stay that way.

Well guess what...its totally healed. :D

Its been healed for awhile now and there is no sign of it at all...I cant even feel it anymore....its totally disappeared. :)

Try petechia, plural petechiae.... I see you got a lot of answers already.

I have some of these too.

      Testing

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      Once you have removed the inflammatories, it is time to focus on the deficiencies.  A lot of them not specific to Celiac, but deficiency in them elicits symptoms associated with Celiac. According to research, celiac disease tends to be more prevalent in urban areas compared to rural areas.  Same is true with airborne viruses.  Because urban residents get less sunlight.  To top it off we use lotion and gear to block the little light there is.  This compremises the vitamin D blood level.  A virus attack further lowers vitamin D and the immune system loses control over the Celiac genes and they go into acute symptoms. 40% to 75% depending depending on country are vitamin D deficient. 50% do not eat the Adequit Intake for potassium (4700 mg a day) 90% do n ot eat the Adequit Intake for Choline. Iodine intake since 1970 had dropped 50%.  The western diet is typically excessive in omega 6 fatty acid compared to omega 3.  Above 14:1 by some estimates.  So they sell us expensive, processed oils to compensate.  Anyway after 10 years gluten free myself,  here is what has helped me in just the past few years; once I realized I was at a healing plateau and just GFD would not cut it, and reallized my deficiencies.  Most recently, I started a statin which I only took for two weeks before it started to cripple me.   Got a prescription for Nicotinic Acid to 2000 and am more flexible now Plus HDL went 29 to 44, eGFR from 55 to 79. I also learned if the pharmacist gets a prescription for Niacin that it is dealer's choice whether you get Nicotinic Acid or Niacinimide.  And it comes out of a regular vitamin manufacturer.   "likely deficiencies and what I take to boost my intake (I get anorexic at the drop of a hat so I take them to keep me stable):  the ones that helped me the most noticibly Was increasing vitamin D blood level to 80 ng/ml and Iodine to 500 mcg once or twice a day, Thiamine, Choline, and Iodine. 10,000 IU vitamin D 500 mg Thiamine or more Choline Iodine – 600 to 1200 mcg of Liquid Iodine Vitamin B2 helps break down proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. It plays a vital role in maintaining the body's energy supply.  500 mg Nicotinic Acid - increase capillary blood flow, lower cholesterol. I recently started 2000 mg a day instead of a statin which I cannot tolerate. I the first month my HDL went from 29 to 44. eGFR (kidney function) jumped from 55 ti 75. It also has make my whole body less stiff. The ichy, flushing with the first few doses goes away. The non flush forms of vitamin B3 do not work. It is the relaxing of the capillaries and tendons. 500 mg Pantothenic Acid vitamin B5 Omega-3 and Omega-6 Fatty Acids in Vegetables  Eating more of the vegetables low in omega six and high omega 3 can reduce inflammation Whole Milk Vanilla yogurt to which I add 100 grams of raspberrys, black berries and blueberries has lots of probiotics and makes my tummy and body happy. Red Bull has sugar (not high fructose corn syrup) and the vitamins (B2,3,5,6 need to metabolize to ATP energy and Taurine as an antioxident). It is a good source of energy for me because my genetic hyperlipidemia does not process complex carbs well.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By trents · Posted

      Gluten-like cross reactions to other foods are from the proteins that make them up. Dextrose is the sugar component found in corn.

      For people with celiac disease and corn intolerance from it: Is salt still okay for most people?

      By Ryangf · Posted

      I just found out a few days ago that some salt like table salt contains dextrose that’s derived from corn. I’ve been thinking about getting rid of using table salt and just using my own kosher or Himalayan salt, but tbh I’m reluctant to do it. I’ve cut out a lot of things and I don’t really want to cut out anything else that I’m not sure will effect me…in a super small amount that it might be added to salts to stabilize the iodine. I don’t want to be further alienated when I have to go to a restaurant with my friends. Also most of the items at my house that have salt in it canned food etc. are some of the few quick things I can eat- because I’m not the one paying for the food in my household and i can only ask for so much. I’m not in a place financially where I can get a lot of my specialized items- although my family tries their best to get items I Can actually stand. I get I can bring a my own salt with me at a restaurant and ask for no seasoning but it feels like a lot to me- cause I already check for cross contamination and ask if the food has like a high volume of corn in it like cornstarch etc. I’ve also heard most dextrose is not derived from the Zein (corn gluten) portion of it- so it might be safe- but idk if that’s true. I just wanna know if anyone actually responded to it negatively.

      I’m so confused…

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      For my first couple of years after discovering my celiac disease I also had to avoid cow's milk/casein and eggs, as well as other things, but could tolerate duck eggs and sheep and goat's milk products. I'm not sure if you've tried those, but it could be worth testing them out.

      I’m so confused…

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hello, @Kwinkle, How are you doing?   Have you tried adding a Magnesium supplement?   The B Complex vitamins need magnesium to work properly, especially thiamine vitamin B 1.   Magnesium deficiency symptoms and Thiamine deficiency symptoms both include gas and bloating.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms also include loss of appetite and fatigue.   My gas and bloating resolved rather quickly when I took Benfotiamine (a form of thiamine shown to promote intestinal healing) and Magnesium Glycinate in addition to my B 50 Complex (all twice a day plus the following...).   I found Magnesium L-Threonate or Magnesium Taurate are better when taken with a form of thiamine called TTFD (Tetrahydrofurfuryl dusulfide) because all of these cross the blood brain barrier easily, which corrects the loss of appetite, fatigue and anxiety.    Like @Celiacandme said, keeping a food/mood/poo'd journal is a big help in finding problematic foods, and for making sure your diet is not carbohydrate heavy.  If you're eating a lot if processed gluten free facsimile foods, be aware they do not have vitamins and minerals added to them like their gluten containing counterparts.  For every 1000 kcal of carbohydrates, we need an extra 500 mg of thiamine to turn them into energy and not store them as fat.   Let us know how you're doing!
