I didn't want to take my own life, I just didn't want to be in my body anymore. If that makes sense.

Yup....it makes perfect sense. Thats how I felt too...my body was broke and I wanted a new one.....or no body at all was fine with me. I just wanted the pain and all the weirdness to go away.

Andrea,

I'm glad you're dad called and told you exactly what he wants. Now you know and dont have to worry about overwhelming him. Everything will work out.....hang in there for the next 2 weeks. :)

I asked the Bioset lady about MSG. She basically said what we already know....that its a neurotoxin, affects the brain....all the same scientificness that we've discussed about MSG in the past. Its a nasty neurotoxin that we shouldnt put into our bodies. She said the same about Aspartame and Saccharin....that they are so bad for us yet everyone continues to consume them daily. I asked her why do people start reacting to MSG all of a sudden?? I felt like she looked at me kind of like "DUH" :blink: . Then she just said because its a neurotoxin...its like putting poison into your body...its not good for us.

I asked her if her treatments can de-sensitize reactions to MSG. She said that yeah...she can de-sensitize so that there is no "immune" response to MSG...she can eliminate the response that would trigger a migraine or other symptoms like that. However with MSG there are other things occurring that she cant prevent...she can only stop an immune reaction but cant change the fact that MSG is a neurotoxin that crosses the blood-brain barrier and can cause all kinds of problems including disease....she said it shouldnt be consumed.

Just heard from Evie's daughter Shirley

here is the post I just put on the new thread for her-

I just heard from Evie's daughter Shirley,

I haven't writen her back yet as wanted to post this ASAP.

I'm hoping she won't mind me posting her email to me.

I'm going to write her and ask her if she has time to print out the messages we write to Evie on the thread I did and take them to her in the hospital. I think they will cheer her up. Jim did that for me when I want in the hospital and it sure was wonderful.

Here is the email--

Hi-

Evie (My Mom) is in the hospital in Missouri with a serious intestinal infection, C-Difficile and there has been a problem with her kidney (she has only one). The infection has caused problems with the kidney, plus several other areas. She hopes to get to come home by mid week next week. The C-Dif is a very strong and BAD bacteria that takes over when too many antibiotics have been prescribed. She is doing better and the kidney is doing better - just a slow long process. I know she misses her friends on the forum and am sure when she gets home, you will be hearing from her again. I will let her know you are praying for her and thinking of her. Shirley

At least we know that she is in the hospital and her daughter is there.

Thanks Judy.....I posted on the Evie thread.

Rachel,

It's sad that we've been programmed through hidden taste enhancers to poison ourselves. That is really the long and short of it. It angers me that msg is hidden in so much. :angry:

JUDY - - OMG - - thank you so much for your sleuthing on Evie.....I am SO glad we heard from her daughter! Evie definitely needs our prayers, C. Diff can be SO fierce, I did not know she had only one kidney..... :o poor, dear thing.

I guess it could be worse. I used to have pretty low standards on dates. I figured as long as there were no "Crying Game" moments it was a tic in the "ok" column.

dear gawd :lol:

Susan, George took it in the bathroom and the clerk made him buy it and you know George-he was really upset!

:lol:

Yes, then he tried to return it, but they had put a red dot on it which meant it had been in a bathroom and he couldn't take it back.

See all the things we learn on OMG? I love Saturday nights here :lol: More fun than the dates I dont' get that I think I"m going to get :blink::lol:

SusieQ- Glad you blew that guy off. He probably has no cajones anyway.

I guess we will never know, now will we. :lol: It is now widely thought that he has a girlfriend, he left last night at 7 when all his friends were still there, and same tonight. Hah! :angry: another pig, walking around like a charming and attentive male. bah. :P (oops, do I sound bitter?)

Andrea,

When I have visited very ill people and loved ones in the hospital I take them a small radio and put it on BBN. It is very comforting to them. When there is a bad storm I go to sleep with it on and it helps give me peace. Hugs, LindaLee

That is such a good idea, Lee. I dont' even know what BBN is, we don't have it here, sounds British though.

My oldest son decided it would be fun to cut the fabric of the couch. There was a snag that is now a gaping hole. :angry:

:ph34r::o:angry: oh dear........I don't suppose it's in a place where a pillow can cover it....no, of COURSE not..... :o

linda oh but you do :)

hechts was bought out by macy's. i know in particular the one at greenbriar converted to a macy's, even before i moved. :)

See, more good things to learn here on OMG :)

Very cute picture, Laura :)

Hi Julie, in case I forgot to say hi to you before! :)

No, of course not. It's on the arm. I think it got damaged shoving it through a smidgen to small doorway moving in. Scissors are so much fun to play with. :angry:

Nighty night.

We've got pictures tomorrow morning so you guys may not see me until the afternoon. :D

Thanks, I'll check out those too!! Patti, I got the toothpaste you reccommended and love it. Also got the tea tree one. I think I will be brushing my cat's teeth with that one. He was very upset about me going away and wouldn't eat for my friend. He is eating for me and I have been giving him the moist stuff(gluten-free) and chicken broth every time I eat it - He wants some! :D

Lee, Glad you love the toothpaste! I do, too :D

That's so cute about doing your cat's teeth--I'm glad that he's eating again, the poor thing missed you :(

Donna and Laura

I'll bet it was Shirley Evie's daughter who was on her Mom's computer.

i'm not sure but i got the PM from Shirley her daugther.

know Evie said one of her daughters told her about celiac.com. Learned that from a old post on the 'canning thread' which took me forever to find on here..oie..

anyway..I'm praying Shirley will just do easy pm's and then i can post or she can post here too but i'm sure if she's attending to mom is the hosptial, she's got alot on her plate.

was reading that Evie had a 6oth wedding anniv and all family was coming in..can't remember where i saw it now..been all over these 3 forums BUT :) IT PAID OFF AND I LEARNED ALOT MORE ABOUT OUR SWEET EVIE IN THE PROCESS.

Since i haven't been on this forum on a regular bases lately, you guys know i'm 'out of the loop'

thanks for all the wonderful notes to evie on the thread.

hope she joins us soon.

I am off to the pub, in my running pants and fleece jacket, who cares :lol::lol::lol:

Love you guys :wub:

I was going to wait till I was caught up to write, but I couldn't resist this set up for a good teasing!! Maybe he heard rumors that you dressed like this to go out to a pub and thought you'd relate better if he had on his glasses and hat!! ;):lol: I sometimes wear a baseball cap and my glasses ... maybe I'm a dork, too. Yup, I play in the community band ... definately a dork!

I guess it could be worse. I used to have pretty low standards on dates. I figured as long as there were no "Crying Game" moments it was a tic in the "ok" column. :)

It sounds like you had fun. That's the main goal.

Get this ... I only ever dated three guys! I never had low standards .... one is a dentist in Atlanta and reminds me of McSteamy if any of you single girls are interested .... he's divorced.

Hum, McSteamy-ish...wonder if I would like Atlanta, lol.

Carla - hope you don't mind if I re-ask you some stuff we talked about ages ago...this time I'm writing it down, I promise, lol. Does your doctor have you on any supplements for the adrenals? I'm taking all kinds of supplements--no prescriptions, just a lot of supplements. I swear, it's only been a couple of days and I haven't even been taking them all yet cuz I'm trying to introduce each one at a time to see if I react to any AND I was trying to finish that stupid stool test, but I already feel a little better...maybe it's placebo effect, I don't know, lol.

Rinne - I found some Himalayan salt at my Whole Foods yesterday, so in honor of you I bought some, lol. How much did you start off with. I'm drinking some warm water now with about 1/4 teaspoon I think. Reminds me of chicken broth without the chicken. :lol:

LOL, oddly enough, he lives in the same area as many of my friends in Atlanta! I do work with the youth in the Church and our headquarters is in an Atlanta suburb, and he lives in the same place! Strange coincidence.

I had a hair analysis and the supplements were based on what I actually needed. I do take an adrenal complex with adrenal in it and a thyroid with glandular thyroid. Also, a multiple, C, E, B Complex, cal/mag/zinc. I have taken garlic for years because of candida. I also take St. John's Wort. There are a few others that were specifically from the hair analysis.

Julie, it is nice having more energy ... it definately comes and goes. I got my energy back with the salt/vitamin C. I'll probably require a lot of rest to make up for this weekend! I slept the whole drive home!

Hey Donna,

Just put a roast in the oven and literally sprinkled it with that salt. I have mainly been using mine with cooking. I've heard good things about the c and salt therapy.

I'd like to learn more about this salt and treatments.

Hi Donna, "in honor of me", shucks. :) I started with just 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon Vitamin C or a 1 gram of Vitamin C in tablet form. After a few days I increased it to 1/2 teaspoon and it was then that I really noticed my energy kick back in although even on the 1/4 teaspoon I noticed a difference. I'm curious to know what you think, please keep us updated. :)

Let me know when you move ... I'll tell you where to go to the dentist. :rolleyes: Then, next time I visit Georgia, I'll stay with you on your ironed pillowcases!! :)

My uncle did a lot of design for the Batista's houses (ex-prime-minister of Cuba's wife). She has ironed linen placed on the floor of her shower so her feet don't have to touch the cold marble (or whatever her shower's made from). Rinne and Susan, do you do that for your guests, too? :lol:

this McSteamy dentist is probably looking for 30-year-olds......I think I have to start looking at the 60 and over crowd......yikes.

Um, IRONED LINEN on the shower FLOOR????? Now I have heard everthing :lol::huh: Sounds like Jackie Kennedy, who had her Anacini, or was it Frette sheets (they're about $1000 or more a set) changed TWICE a day in the White House.....she needed them freshened after her daily nap. WHAT-EVER :huh:

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Bebygirl01 · Posted

      You are on the money, but I should also add that Italian, French and other countries research shows exactly what I have said. Our FDA is behind the ball when it comes to this research and I am hopeful that Kennedy can straighten this out soon, albeit he is giving the food companies too long to just remove food dyes from our foods when in fact they have to remove all that in order to sell for example, in the UK as they aren't allowed such things. The food companies and the cola companies have also changed their formulas to have just sugar in them instead of corn gluten aka high fructose corn syrup and corn starch in them. Misinformation here in America is a very dangerous thing. I also have been grain free for a long time now and at no time can I even have the smallest amount of corn gluten -I recently got glutened from a supplement that claimed to be grain free yet upon further research I found that it had erythritol (corn sugar) in it and that is what got me sick for 7 days straight. I am not hopeful to ever be able to add back into my diet any of the grain glutens, but perhaps those who were only gluten intolerant might be able to, but for me being celiac, I have no hope in that. Thank you for the article, I will add it to my collection of research as I am collecting everything I can find on this subject and posting it on X as well as other places.  I also don't use psuedo grains i.e. quinoa as that also reacts negatively with my gut, so I am 100% a cassava/tapioca/arrow root girl and that is my go to bread replacement. There are some new items made with chicpea/green peas that are sold as rice alternatives, i bought one to try but haven't yet. So food companies are getting creative, but like you said, I am fresh whole foods and don't buy many processed foods, I make my own cheese, ketchup, pickles, jams, etc.

      Energy drink can has stains - potential gluten?

      By Dora77 · Posted

      There were small spots (stains) on the drinking area at the top of the energy drinks can from the store that looked as the same color as milk — maybe oat milk (Hafermilch) or a wheat-based drink (Weizendrink), but I’m not sure what it was. There were also some particles that looked like either flour or dust, but not many. Could it have been a gluten-containing drink spilled onto the can or just regular small stains which I shouldn‘t worry about? Do you watch out for stuff like that or am I overthinking? Would it cause damage to a celiac?

      Not Just Wheat, Barley and Rye Glutens that make us sick

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This is such an important discussion! While corn gluten (zein) is structurally different from wheat gluten, emerging research suggests some celiac and gluten-sensitive individuals may still react to it, whether due to cross-reactivity, inflammation, or other factors. For those with non-responsive celiac disease or ongoing symptoms, eliminating corn—especially processed derivatives like corn syrup—might be worth exploring under medical guidance. That said, corn’s broader health impact (GMOs, digestibility, nutritional profile) is a separate but valid concern. Like you mentioned, ‘gluten-free’ doesn’t automatically mean ‘healthy,’ and whole, unprocessed foods are often the safest bet. For those sensitive to corn, alternatives like quinoa, rice, or nutrient-dense starches (e.g., sweet potatoes) can help fill the gap. Always fascinating (and frustrating) how individualized this journey is—thanks for highlighting these nuances! Many people with celiac disease, especially those who are in the 0-2 year range of their recovery, have additional food intolerance issues which could be temporary. To figure this out you may need to keep a food diary and do an elimination diet over a few months. Some common food intolerance issues are dairy/casein, eggs, corn, oats, and soy. The good news is that after your gut heals (for most people who are 100% gluten-free this will take several months to two years) you may be able to slowly add some these items back into your diet after the damaged villi heal. This article may be helpful:

      Mama trying to help 3 year old!!!

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I’m so sorry your little one is going through this. Celiac recovery can take time (sometimes months for gut healing), but the ongoing leg pain is concerning. Since his anemia was severe, have his doctors checked his other nutrient levels? Deficiencies in magnesium, vitamin D, or B12 could contribute to muscle/joint pain. A pediatric GI or rheumatologist might also explore if there’s concurrent inflammation or autoimmune involvement (like juvenile arthritis, which sometimes overlaps with celiac). Gentle massage, Epsom salt baths (for magnesium absorption), or low-impact activities like swimming could help ease discomfort while he heals. Keep advocating for him—you’re doing an amazing job!

      Thank you for the input. We go back to the GI doctor in June- she wants to do more labs to check vitamin levels( not sure why the didn't check all at once with the iron being so low) and recheck inflammatory levels. Just trying to find him some relief in the meantime.
