DO NOT EAT THE WHOLE BAG IN ONE SITTING. TAKE OUT A FEW, PUT THE REST BACK IN THE FREEZER. You can do this ... if I can stop at 1/4 of a donut, you can eat in moderation, too!!!!

Carla.....are you an alien :lol: .....one-fourth of a donut - I wouldn't even bother....somehow I am needing QUANTITY these days, what is up wiht that?......have not opened nuggets, will not open today. Am waiting. am experiencing self-control - new concept.... :unsure:

Vincent - I think your dog would enjoy that new toy. These dingos would be thrilled with that...they love new toys - Tika even plays fetch with herself...... :)

I am not supposed to have ANY sugar. I've been so good that I rewarded myself with one cup of decaf coffee (can't have it either) and 1/4 of a donut. It was just enough to satisfy my sweet tooth without stressing my adrenals too much!

Take out a few nuggets and eat them. Put the rest in the refrigerator ... if you wait, once you start, it's gonna get ugly. :o

Donna,

Awhile back you asked about the mercury-free dentist I saw. I'm pretty sure he retired cuz I recall getting something in the mail announcing it. I was just doing a search on mercury-related stuff and ended up on his webpage. I'm like "Hey....thats the guy!".

Anyways heres the link...I dont know if the place is still there or what. I think he might have sold the dentristry to someone else in the same field...not positive though. If you're interested you could probably find out. They were really knowledgeable about this stuff there.

I wouldnt do oral DMSA, I would do IV DMPS.

I've done alot of research on this and my choice will be to NOT use intraveneous DMPS.....heres why

Open Original Shared Link

Read the stories of the people who've gone this route....

Also the experts who've actually had mercury toxicity and gone through chelation do not recommend DMPS through IV. DMPS is not FDA approved...while DMSA is. From the research I've done it seems that DMSA and oral DMPS are quite effective and of less risk to the patient. IV DMPS is by far more powerful but at what cost?? I'd rather get better slowly than risk permanant damage....thats just me though. Also the book I have (written by Andy Cutler) is considered to be the best book there is on the subject....he also does not recommend IV DMPS under any circumstances.

Most of the people advocating IV DMPS have a financial stake in it. Also the cost is much higher than that of the oral chelators.

I will play it safe and take the advice from those who've done it and regretted it.

I believe the slogan the biological dentists use is "First...do no harm".

Sounds good to me... :)

about the inactivations of enzymes and DNA mutations due to heavy metal exposure,,,, ive been obsessing on that all along, BTW :P

I wonder if there is some immoessay or genetic test to see if certain enzymes are working properly, howerever there are so many enzymes with so many functions it would be impossible to test them all,,etc.

Even if there were tests available for this I personally wouldnt pay for them. I already know that my enzymes arent working properly because I react to whole food groups and chemicals. I'm more interested in getting to the root cause of why everything isnt working right in my body. All of the *functional* tests I've taken show something isnt right....but they dont tell me why...and they dont get me better.

:lol::lol:

Laughing at Andrea and Patti's new avatars!

Susan, I'm in agreement about the 1/4 donut.....I could never do it. How could I stop? :ph34r:

You take the donut out of the freezer, cut off 1/4 of it, put the rest back in the freezer, then eat when the donut is thawed and don't go back to the freezer!!!!

Carla,

Nothing so "sensible" ever works with me. <_<

I would go back to the freezer...take out more donut...*not* wait for it to thaw (that would take too long)...throw it in the microwave and eat it.

Then I'd be upset cuz there was no more donut.....I'd go buy more and then Rachel the heck out of them. :ph34r:

Julie,

Everytime I buy my ice cream...I *have* to pick up the vanilla flavored one and read the ingredients...as if they might spontaniously change someday. :rolleyes: I've never bought that one because it has annatto in it for color....I think it would give me a bad reaction. If only that one ingredient wasnt on there.....well we all know what would happen then. :P

I'm like you carla if I allow myself something I should not necesssarily have I just have a little. Since its nothing that gives me a major reaction I am usually able to tolerate it where as if I had a lot of it I'de probably get really sick. This also makes me appreciate what I ma eating so much more.

EVERYONE......please keep your opinions of abortion or anything as controversial as this topic is off of this thread. If you would like to discuss such matters in pm's then please do so....but not on this thread. I know I've made this announcement before but this thread is intended for uncovering medical issues that are still making us sick....to offer support on HEALTH issues.

Someone comes onto the thread announcing their intentions and then doesnt want to respond to pms. A public forum on food intolerances is not the place for this and complaints are being made. Please do not respond to Christina on this thread....use pm's.

I think we all did our best to offer support....she has made a decision....chose to announce it here....now lets leave it at that. There is NO way to say anything on this subject thats not gonna offend someone.....and I would appreciate it if the subject is now dropped. This is not one of those "controversial" threads and its not gonna become one either.

Thanks

I decided to jump in on this new "things we Rachel" avatar trend. I couldn't decide though...I think I need multiple avatars for this.

Oh and sorry to so drastically change the subject. I was just really excited to find that image. Haven't had one of those in MONTHS!!!!!!!!!! :(:)

I may just have to look at those. I assume they are gluten-free/SF/CF since you are. I've been avoiding peanut butter even though I don't have a problem with it, since I'm intolerant to soy.

Yep I think you could probably have those....and the peanut butter is optional :). They do have a statement that says "we do not use any gluten, dairy, soy etc. etc. ingredients" right above another statement that says "manufactured in a facility with soy and dairy." I've never had any problems with them though.

Okay here's something else I Rachel. There's nothing healthy about these and they don't come in berry flavor :). Can you tell I have a really exciting job? Are they gonna wonder why I have images of Clif Bars, Biscotti (and Ian's Chicken Nuggets) saved to the desktop? Am I talking to myself now? (I think everyone in the US went to sleep :rolleyes: )

      That somes it up. It is worth mentioning GliadinX does not reduce symptoms for me at all. I also react to banana, avacado, cabbage, Oatmeal, and pecans among other things. If anyone else out there is like me, I had to eliminate gluten and all processed food before I could start to heal. I wish I had know this a long time ago. Thanks for the acknowledgement...

      3 year old gluten intolerance?

      Thanks for sharing this detailed explanation. It’s really helpful to understand the differences between celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. I had no idea that gluten withdrawal could feel similar to addiction, and it’s great to have that context when considering how it affects people. It’s also good to know how important it is to continue eating glute...

TRANSGLUA is, aka, TTG-IGA, another celiac disease antibody test. It was in normal range. tranigg is, aka, TTG-IGG, still another celiac disease antibody test. It was high, or above normal range. immaqnt is, I believe, what is also known as "total IGA" and at 160, looks to be in normal range since it wasn't flagged otherwise. This is a test for IGA deficiency. If someone is IGA deficient then all other IGA test scores cannot be trusted as being accurate. You are not IGA deficient. Here is a primer explaining the various tests that can be used to diagnose celiac disease: Celiac disease blood antibody testing is not valid when someone has been gluten free or eating low gluten for a significant period of time. The IGA tests are more specific for celiac disease than are the IGG tests but your slightly high TTG-IGG test score could reflect that you have celiac disease and have had low level exposure to gluten over time or a recent exposure. You could also have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity).

      By fritz2 · Posted

      I'm 70, had gut issues my whole life.  15 years ago my grandchild was diagnosed with celiac.  Since I had a constant either constipation or diarrhea and what the doctors thought was fibromyalgia and other issues I decided to see what happens if I quit gluten.  I got a lot better.  BTW, 30 years ago I had head & neck cancer, the radiation destroyed my thyroid.  I suffer from chronic fatigue and have to take synthroid. A few months ago, I bought a bottle of Ice water, I was thirsty and all they had at the motel was this.  It said sugar free and had a bunch of vitamins.  I couldn't read the fine print so I thought it's safe, so I bought several bottles (it had sucralose and maltodextrin in it).  I thought one per day would be ok and it absolutely was delicious.  In the meantime, my wife found some links and bratwurst for breakfast, we didn't know it had wheat in it and we picked up a half gallon of her favorite ice cream and unknown to us they had changed the formula and added wheat.  I had several meals and several bottles before I realized something was wrong.  Did all the sugar add to the issue?   In a day, I wasn't feeling well, my joints started swelling.  In a couple days, I thought sure I had gout in both hands.  In three days, I needed help to stand up or sit down, the pain was extreme.  I went to the emergency room.  They took blood and gave me cholchistine to alleviate the gout, it did nothing.  I didn't get a report on the test.  The next week the doctor ordered more blood tests and it's all acronyms but a couple items on celiac were listed as high.  The nurse I asked about the report had no clue and the RA was negative.  This has been ongoing for over a month and only now am I able to use my hands, but it's painful. Under the Celiac labs headline it says:  endomys-Negat gliaiga-  5 gliaigg-  1 TRANGLUA -3 tranigg-  8  (high) immaqnt-  160 Rheumatoid factor <12 Thyroid stimulating hormone: 2.81 Does anyone know what this means?
