Christine - 10 Advils are WAY too much. The maximum you should take in at one time is 4 -- that is 800 mg, what the doctor's prescribe. You can only take that safely three times per day.

Do you have a bite guard? Have you seen a dentist who specializes in TMJ? That can prevent a lot of arthritic changes in itself. If you have rheumatoid, it's difficult, but it does help. If it is simply osteoarthritis, then it would DEFINITELY help. Both of my kids, after getting their braces taken off, suffered with TMJ dysfunction . . . they went to a dentist who made impressions of their teeth, put them on a special axis, then found the optimum bite for them . . . he gave them a bite guard which, at first, was just a HUGE chunk of plastic, it looked like! Then, they went in 1 time per week for 24 weeks, and he slowly ground down the bite guard until they were at their perfect bite. He then gave my son a night guard for teeth clenching and grinding.

Also, don't want to imply that anything is "in your head", because it IS NOT. However, have you thought about seeing a physician (even psychiatrist) about anxiety issues . . . most often, that's what grinders have. Clenchers tend to be worriers. It was funny --when I was practicing, I could tell by the jaw muscles which patients were clenchers vs. grinders.

Has anyone taught you self-release techniques for the muscles in your jaws? There are positional release techniques that are FANTASTIC for TMJ. In fact, when I first took the course, I was a student and thought it was "out there" . . . it was the stuff that I used the most. Even if you can't find someone to teach you, you can order books on positional release through amazon .com . . . some used ones pretty cheaply. It is difficult to do it yourself -- -I will tell you that. If you can go to a MANUAL physical therapist who works with TMJ, they will be able to teach it to you well.

Good luck to you . . . please take care of yourself. . . . Lynne

Yep,it's Tenerife (it's an island that belongs to Spain,but is off the coast of Africa)

Hubby is very content in his Oh so magical place now :lol:

Nikki, how fabulous Spain. I am so jealous. You will have to share every detail with us when you get back. So sorry about hubby's back, glad he is experiencing some relief from the pain in La La Land.

Susie, I am so sorry you are feeling dreadful. I seem to do ok with the Nut Thins, don't eat them all that often, but when I have I didn't really notice any ill effects. Do you have delayed reactions or immediate most of the time? Had you eaten something the day before suspect? Is the chicken you ate a roasted chicken? I have heard sometimes they change the recipe without warning for the marinade that they inject and baste the roasted chickens with. Just a thought. Broccoli tends to upset my stomach, but it wouldn't make me feel the way you describe. Of course, we all are different.

Please take good care of yourself and know you are in all of our thoughts :)

Donna, steaming the corn tortillas takes great precission and skill, focus. It's an art. Oh who am I kidding I mess it up all the time, but I'm getting better at it :lol: I figured out I let the water boil and then turn it way down, or even off, and let the steam come up through the steamer basket, then once the water has stopped boiling and it's just steaming I put the tortilla in and put the lid on. Effort, yes but they taste so good.

Okay, so since joining this thread on page 15 or so I've been trying to figure out what causes the almost unbearable itching I have on my legs...sometimes it's barely noticable and sometimes it's just horrible...also through the course of this thread I've thought it might be corn, histamine, chicken, auxigro, sugar and air. My latest, CHOCOLATE. Oh dear God please don't let it be the chocolate, lol. Anything but the chocolate. The itching was so bad on Friday that I finally made an appointment with a dermatologist (not that I think it will do any good because I've seen one before and it didn't help)...coincidentally, last week, especially Friday, I was eating a bunch of chocolate. This weekend I wasn't around chocolate much so didn't have much and the itching was at a minimum...today...WORK happened and I am surrounded by chocolate once again. Arggg...not the chocolate. What's the world coming to. :blink::lol: Or....maybe I'm just allergic to WORK, lol. :lol::lol:

V. funny.

Thanks Julie....it WAS a roasted chicken, teh same kind I eat all the time, I checked the ingreds. but am going to call the store. Am just starting to feel a bit better now but still - - spinached. ugh. not getting much done today and in very much fog.

I have to tell you guys what I thought was so funny - - yesterday, while driving down from the mountains - lots of time to think and pray, which I love - - love goign with people up to elevation but also dearly love going with just the dogs. So anywho...I"m thinking of and praying for the usual people in my life - - friends, family, loved ones - and thinking of my own issues, of course (they are legion :o:lol: ), and I realized with a chuckle that a portion of my time was spent thinking of the people in Rachelville - - like, holy moly, Rachel needs to grow her own vegetables, and, I hope Cecile feels okay today, and how was Lynne's wedding, etc. etc.....and how some of my friends are usign the word SPINACHED now...ha ha.....

Anyway it just cracked me up because there's now a whole TOWN that I have to worry over.... :lol::lol::lol:

no, no, NOT the chocolate....it's work, definitely it' s WORK your'e allergic to...quit your job, keep the chocolate! so sorry about the itching, that must drive you nuts.

and BTW how do people actually go to REAL JOBS if you get so miserably sick from gluten? Can't imagine. Am vaguely looking for a real job but am thinking of just supporting myself as an artist again (albeit a starving one) as I have done in the past, and continuing to work part-time for the writer. I simply know that I couldn't show up and be efficient anywhere today, would have had to call in sick. ugh.

Glad you are starting to feel a little better Susie Q. Do call the store and see if they might have changed the formula. Get some rest and worry about everything later when you feel better!

OMG, I forgot to address something I read yesterday. Rachel asked who Amber Frey was. NO! Are you joking Rachel? She who reads the tabloid covers everyday as she walks by and as she checks out all of the customer's groceries??? I am thinking you were joking, but if you don't know I am surprised given you live in Cali and it was all over the news for years.

I don't know for sure, but I would think it could. The unfortunate thing is that Claritin has both milk and corn ingredients. I've stopped it along with my milky vitamins!

I did a search yesterday to try and find an antihistimine that used potato starch. No luck--

I may not have to worry about quitting, lol...they keep talking about "outsourcing" my department, so I'm sure the point will all be moot at some point. Anyway, it was really hard when I was at my sickest, but fortunately I have a fairly flexible employer and fortunately I was able to take some half days off...I also think my gluten intolerance hadn't done so much damage yet that it totally knocked me out, but I think if I hadn't figured it all out soon it would have.

:lol::lol::lol::lol: that did also crack me up...but remember when it all happened, at that time I think our President was in a gluten coma, she may not have been working at that time and was permantly spinached to her bed....must have been quite a coma as it was EVERYWHERE for so long..... :o:lol:

Chocolate=Histamine Release

...sorry to be the bearer of such bad news :ph34r:

I don't know for sure, but I would think it could. The unfortunate thing is that Claritin has both milk and corn ingredients. I've stopped it along with my milky vitamins!

Patti,

Even the RediTabs? The info on my box only says citric acid, gelatin, and mannitol as additional ingredients. What is the milk source? This is not good.

I might talk to a pharmacist and see if something can be prepared.

Julie--I've not checked on the Redi Tabs as I've not ever used them. I was talking about the regular Claritin pills. Maybe the Redi Tabs are better? Would the citric acid=corn? I'm so confused :blink:

I hate to hear such things about chocolate :angry: Dumb histamine :angry::angry:

Yeah, during a wedding reception try having your husband tell his relatives about all his wife's "friends" without calling it Rachelville . . . . and then . . . . his sister has a tin of Altoids on the console of her truck . . .

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!

      Hypothetical question about antibodies

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      No, I would not say this at all. If you were diagnosed with celiac disease and were gluten-free for a while, you could have gone into remission. Everyone's body is different, and some celiacs may be able to get regular contamination and not end up with damaged villi and positive antibody tests, while others who ingest tiny amounts will relapse and have full blown symptoms and flattened villi.  Only a full gluten challenge would reveal where you are at this point. Here is more info about how to do a gluten challenge for a celiac disease blood panel, or for an endoscopy: and this recent study recommends 4-6 slices of wheat bread per day:

      Inflammation and Menier’s disease link?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      The most common nutrient deficiencies associated with celiac disease that may lead to testing for the condition include iron, vitamin D, folate (vitamin B9), vitamin B12, calcium, zinc, and magnesium.  Unfortunately many doctors, including my own doctor at the time, don't do extensive follow up testing for a broad range of nutrient deficiencies, nor recommend that those just diagnosed with celiac disease take a broad spectrum vitamin/mineral supplement, which would greatly benefit most, if not all, newly diagnosed celiacs.

      Is it common to develop a wheat allergy in addition to Celiac Disease?

      By Pablohoyasaxa · Posted

      Great  post. The skin issue can be intolerable. I have been taking niacinamide for the past month and have improved with respect to the blistering lesions.

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      I've found taking Niacin Vitamin B 3 in the form that causes flushing (nicotinic acid) helps immensely to clear my skin.  The flushing is harmless and goes away the longer Niacin is taken.  The flushing (vasodilation in the skin) helps the body get rid of the tTg 3 IgA antibodies that cause the blisters.  TTg 2 IgA antibodies are found in the blood and are measured in diagnostic testing for Celiac.  People with Dermatitis Herpetiformis make tTg 3 as well as tTg 2 antibodies.  Niacin Vitamin B3 in the non flushing form niacinamide also works without the flushing, but takes a bit longer.   I also avoid foods containing high levels of iodine because iodine activates the tTg 3 IgA antibodies to become more active and make more blisters.  I avoid kelp (nori, seaweed) and crustaceans,  eggs, dairy products, and iodized table salt.   Niacinamide and Nicotinic acid are water soluble and harmless.  I'd much rather take Niacin than Dapsone with scary side effects.
