Speaking of the SIBO, I am starting my sequence of treatment for it, either tonight or tomorrow. Even though I tested neg for it, I'm still having GI issues, so she wants to try it.

Hope all goes well with the SIBO treatment. I also hope this flare dies down quickly for this weekend.

Make sure you get your rest. :)

I want to do this horse rescue, but it's too far away for right now. There are plenty of local shelters.

Horse rescue? Now that sounds like something I'd like too. Of course I wouldn't mind shelters either. I just always want to bring the kitties home. :ph34r:

Tabasco - - I don't know if I"ve written this before on here (dingo'd it if I have :ph34r: ) but there is something that works quite well for me: get some tea, any kind you'd like. Put about 2 tablespoons of flax seeds in - - this is assuming you can tolerate them, of course. Let the seeds and tea steep. The seeds will get slippery and soft......you just gently crunch them at the end of the tea. Works like a charm for me......and yes, drink LOTS of water!

Thank you, but this just totally made me smile...poopy...diarrhea...poopy. :lol:

:lol: you are a nut, Lady.

and yes, get those attorneys to FULLY fix up your home office!!! work from home on the days you're not well.....after FIFTEEN YEARS (cannot conceive of this) I think they would do it!

patti-Please come to Boston. Oh please oh please oh please!!!!!! The house next door to us is for sale and it's cute and Angus would greet you EVERY morning. He even said he's made you a gluten-free coffee cake cuz he knows you're coming. Actually, it sounded more like "Woof garble garble grrr WOOF!" but I knew what he meant!

HARRUMPH!!!! no, no, no, NO!!!! we want her!! Come to California!!! Yay Patti!! Yes, yes, California!!!! :rolleyes:

and yes, isn't she wise and clever for not divulging this info, whereas I, as we all know, WOULD in fact broadcast it to the world....

Bev - - I was going to suggest the nursery/garden center......will think of something else. the animals will love you....:)

and speaking of animals, I have got to go now, and take my sweet girl to the vet....

Andrea - - - what a love you are, thank you for your PM!!!!!

see you.

I'm almost certain that the allergies were a result of whatever is going on with me. Lyme, mercury, mold, whatever. I'm not nearly as congested as I was before I went gluten/casein free...I think taking some of the burden off my system has helped to keep the allergies in check too.

I'll bet you're right. Being casein free has probably helped a lot with that, too. Are you allergic to dust mites?

15 years!!!! Wow!

Can't wait to see if it helps you. I've heard good things about it. I have a feeling my dr may give it to me regardless of the test result. Just my take on how he spoke about it.

Sorry you are on a cycle of bad days just when you have special plans. Just not fair :angry: Hope it passes soon and you hace a nice time.

How tempting is that! Angus AND a coffee cake :D

dingo

I have tried flaxseed, grinded flaxseed with water it didn't work.. are teas o.k. for people with candida?

It's weird but when I drink the miralax it makes my throat pop.

Are you allergic to dust mites?

Used to be. On my first allergy test 4 years ago, I was allergic to them. When I was retested a year and a half ago, I wasn't.

Oh you poor thing...the miralax did that to me when I was really really constipated. It's disgusting!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One tea that I used to drink for constiaption was laci LeBeau's Super Dieter's tea:

Here's a link with the ingredients:Open Original Shared Link

It has senna in it which CAN cause problems but it gave me almost immediate relief. Definitely check with your doctor first.

andrea- Hope talitha feels better soon!

Tabasco (is your name Lisa? I am not sure :unsure: ) - - I think the problem was grinding the flax seeds, maybe? their outer husks are very slippery and slimy.....I used them fully intact when I needed a poopy (hi donna!) experience. Like Kramer said....."wet and WILD!!" (I think that was after he had an enema :ph34r::lol: )

Andrea - - what is the latest on Talitha? you know, sometimes I read these pages SO fast, as I am SO far behind, blow me if I just don't dingo all kinds of important information.

And Rachel - - what is up? is it the heinosity of that other thread? I am going to have to venture into that one now, to see what this is all about....which means - - more reading which equals - - more dingo'ing. :huh:

Patti - you would choose Angus and coffee cake over dingos in sunny california? :o:lol:

I am confused over many things on our beloved OMG thread and to clarify things would require going back, many, many pages....I just don't have the stamina.

I asked because after I tested highly allergic to them last year, I put protective covers on my mattress and pillows and noticed a difference.

Funny--I used to be highly allergic to cats, and last year was found to be only mildly allergic. I think living with a cat so long de-sensitized me :D

On LN they're talking about a Lyme float ... it's a canoe trip ... we could meet there, it's for Lymies and their families ... we're all family here. ;) Of course, it's only an hour away from my house! LOL Easy for me to suggest. :lol:

What are you confused about, Susie?

:unsure: oh my gosh, it's all the letters and numbers, I think. When people throw around their number readings, and letters - - see, I'm so confused I can't even remember. :lol: and the "bands" - - that's confusing too......I think that involves letters and numbers. Oh, and the names of the @*$!&*!! germies, all the babs, chlorella (and is that a virus, or a beverage you all drink? :huh: ), and all the other weird names of the evil bugs, and all the treatments, I forget what is for what and who's taking what for what..... :huh: and then this mysterious HERXING...... See, I was gone for a while, and when I came back, and I still do come and go, and there are new things all the time from your brilliant scientifness, and dang if I just can't follow it all. :huh:

but, I'm here to support the lymies, and all others, and just to share the love. :wub:

A Lyme float sounds like a frosty summer drink! :D

:rolleyes: and it sounds YUMMY!!!! lime sherbert with - - whipped cream, soda water, and - - dare I say, vodka, perhaps? ;)

Some days things are moving pretty quickly over here. :blink:

Talitha still hurts but she's doing better, ("a little better" she says). :)

Gosh--everyone! It would be so nice for us all to be able to meet face to face. :rolleyes:

I still would like to do that. Just don't know that we'd ever have the extra money. :(

(raises hand) I KNOW! We print out and send this entire thread to.....let's see......Oprah? Dr. Greene? Lyme Central? Richard Branson? (with Virgin Atlantic) Or - who's the richest man - - is it Warren Buffett? Elisabeth Hasselbeck? is she the wealthiest Celiac we know?

just brainstorming here. :)

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Mettedkny! Your ttg-igg numbers are elevated but what about your ttg-iga numbers? Were your ttg-iga numbers elevated at your original diagnosis? The reason I ask is because elevated igg antibody test scores are more likely to be caused by something else besides a celiac reaction to gluten. The ttg-iga test is considered to be the centerpiece of celiac disease blood antibody testing. But some people are seronegative for the iga celiac tests, particularly if they are iga deficient. If they are iga deficient, the igg tests can be helpful. Have you ever had a "total iga" test run to check for iga deficiency?

      Progesterone pills - are they gluten free??

      By Mettedkny · Posted

      Not sure where to start - been diagnosed for 17 years, and for 16 years my bloodwork has been perfect. Last May I started on HRT (estrogen patch & progesterone pill) for post menopausal symptoms, and to help with mild osteoporosis. In June my Gliadin IgG numbers suddenly went up to 59 (from previously being below 5 for 16 years). Did a deep dive on the progesterone pill manufacturer (Aurobindo) to ensure that the medication IS gluten free - and was told multiple times that there is no gluten in the pills. The pill is the ONLY thing that has changed, and my son, who is also celiac has perfect numbers.  Scoured my life to try and find out where the gluten could be coming from and the only thing I found was a tea I drank that had "possible wheat straw" (had been drinking this tea for about 5 years with no issues - and was confirmed by the manufacturer that their tea is certified gluten-free despite the "straw") - cut the tea out thinking that it MUST be the tea. Repeated the blood test 3 months later and it dropped to 55 - not indicative that the gluten has been found and removed from my diet. Had bloodwork done again yesterday and it is now 95 😳 I am completely floored. WHERE is it coming from??? I am SO careful. Would NEVER cheat, don't eat out and like I said, my son has NO issues and his number is 3 (as of yesterday). Has anyone had a problem with progesterone pills? It is the only variable that I can think of, but how do I prove that it is the problem without discontinuing to take the HRT (which I really need for post menopausal symptoms, sleep, anxiety, brain fog and hot flashes).

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      That’s a good thought, I didn’t think of that aspect of waiting longer! Thanks

      Gluten intolerance in toddler?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for reporting back @Nicbent35! You seem to understand the options and the risks. So, it is a decision you will just have to make. But you don't have to make it right away. You might consider keeping her gluten-free for a while yet. I would give it six months before considering adding gluten back in. Make sure the improvement you are seeing is due to removing gluten and not something else that will pass such that you see a reversion to former behavior and symptoms.
