I want to take up kickboxing and write words like leaky gut, gluten, corn, dairy, celiac, immune system, hives, allergies, grains, and so on all over the punching bag and then beat the H E L L out of it.

Anyone want to join me??

:lol::lol:

juliem-

I don't know if its those words I'de want to beat up for me it would be all the doctors who misdiagnosed me for so long and put me on all the meds that I know made me worse!!!

Miamia

WOAH

I must have missed this! :o

60 years!! That is so impressive. Congrats to you Evie.....and your hubby too! :D

Rachel-

My doctor did order the Keto for me so I am going to jump on the boat with you next week and start taking it- fingers crossed

Julie, Celia and Rachel--Thanks for your input! I'm drinking nothing but the Poland Spring like I did back at the beginning of all this and see if it makes a difference that will last. I've been going out of my mind trying to figure out why I keep getting sick. I've been joking that pretty soon I'll be down to a vitamin pill and water! (and now the water is suspect :lol: ) Thanks for being there guys! :)

Celia--are you going to try the theory out too?

Awesome!

I hope you do well!! We can share our successes. See I'm being optimistic for both of us. ;)

Did the guy say anything different about the Keto than what I posted previously...or just basically the same? Did he tell you any success stories? I wanna hear it all. :P

No problem... I just dumped out the glass of water I was drinking just a few minutes ago.... no more crap water for me... just the good stuff :D

You go girl! I always get excited when I think I've figured out another piece of the puzzle. Hope it's helpful for us both! ;) We seem to have a lot of stuff in common :P

Grrrrr......what I wouldn't do for rain (I am a freak and love rain and fog, now why did I leave Monterey again?) It's the high one-hundred-and-TENS here after weeks of.......high nineties and ONE HUNDREDS......I am bloody sick of it and just have to pray like heck we don't have a brownout, as we did last month :blink:

Susan....nooooo..."rain rain go away".... Do you know that song? I soooo love the heat. Rain sometimes makes me sad. Unless I have someone to cuddle with and I could drink hot cocoa with marshmallows. But I dont...and I cant.....soooo rain rain go away. :P

Rachel-

he told me alot of the same stuff. But he did say healing time is different for everyone- in some cases people with worse damage healed faster than people with less. He was just so nice we started talking about the things we like to cook ansd the dangers of eating out. He was just really personable- and so confident it would owrk- it was very contagious I got off the phone with him thinking of course this is the answer.

Yeah....he is very personable and so up to date on all this stuff. I could have talked to him for a long time...well I did...but I could have just kept talking all day. I felt great after we hung up. Thats why I wish I could call him everyday that I feel bad....his words were just so reassuring.

Rachel-

Yeah calling him on bad days would be a good idea- yesturday I had a terrible day!!! bad brain fog really bad pain- what I call "candida bloat" And after I talked to him I was happy despite all of this. He told me to call him in one or two weeks to let him know how I react, but maybe I'll call him just to cheer me up on bad days- thats a good idea!!!

Hang in there Susan. I know it's hard but each day gets better and each day we get stronger. :)

We are here to celebrate and comfort...don't worry about crashing the party...it won't happen.

allergic to water...holy cow....glad you figured it out and you're feeling better, Patti!

Patti and Celia,

Aquafina is good brand. I watched a show a few years back that tested the bottled water. There were only 3 or 4 that were good. I had to email the person who hostess of the show and ask her if she remembered which ones they were. She remembered aquafina because it is what she drinks. She said a lot of the expensive waters were worse than aquafina.

Yes, it's filtered. There's a filter right in the fridge. I changed it when the indicator light came on. Don't think it's CC. Maybe you would know this Vincent--I think those filters have charcoal in them--there wouldn't be wheat in that like there is in cooking charcoal--would there?

Gosh, its possible, and heck it might explain why on days my son gets more water his stools are much looser and more often then on days that he dont. I better look in to this too. :(

[Celia--I know what you mean.

I was doing fine. About that time, we bought a new refrigerator with filtered water thru the door. Before that, I had been drinking only Poland Spring water. I don't know if it was a coincidance, but that is about when my symptoms came back and I began the elimination diets.

What do you all think? Am I grasping at straws?

Miamia,

Keep us posted as to how the med works for you.

You and Rachel be sure to let that super nice guy get some work done. :P That kind of personal attention is sure nice though isn't it. :D

Vincent-we had a short discussion about water on the thread for Megan/TCA/Tanya- Zack, my youngest, has had a problem with water with chlorine or fluoride all his life. There were a number of interesting posts on that thread from others regarding water. It is scary some of the things we ingest unknowingly. btw--great news about the adoption. I wish I could adopt, but at 45, I don't think it is something I can do. Hubby is 57, so I think we are just going to wait for grandkids.

Who was it, evie? 60 YEARS!!! THAT ANNIVERSARY IS AMAZING AND WONDERFUL!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

All of you are so gorgeous, I will probably put up a picture of my dog for my avatar if I ever figure out how to do it!!!!!

Thank you guys for the info on quinoa--I still am having some serious bouts of D periodically and was thinking of trying quinoa-so thanks for saving me from THAT misery.

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that. Rachel, I have had 5 laparascopy (sp?) surgeries and they are not fun, but they are about the only way to really know what is what with the ovaries. I hope you don't have to have one, but you are under anesthetic for the procedure. They cut in the belly button so the scars are pretty invisible.

I totally get what you're talking about Rachel.....that is the best thing of all to do on a rainy day! I love rain any time, EXCEPT when the dogs get cabin fever and need a walk - -

And it would be SO nice to have a cool rain right about now..... :( If you like heat, just head on down to the good ol' Central Valley right now - - but I don't know if you'd like it so much!

I don't think I should post any more this evening.....somehow I've been glutened, and I can't figure it out, the only NEW thing yesterday was Arborio rice but not a new package - - might have had anti-caking something-or-other....but, when my thinking becomes this dark, something is definitely wrong, and I think I will call it a day and just head to bed with my book.

Rachel, I keep picturing your jumping intestines.....wouldn't you be able to FEEL them if they were doing that? I mean, sounds like that would produce intense cramping, and I can't remember if you were feeling the cramping during the exam or not - I know there was intense pain when she pressed on your ovary area - -

DO YOU THINK THERE"S AN ALIEN IN THERE??

;););) and please note - - not making light of your situation - - just a little levity here, that's all. Can't imagine how frustrated you must be with all of this and what your little body is continually going through. Adding you to my prayers before bed.

Um, who is this guy that y ou're calling - what page is he on - I want to call him too and feel better.... :rolleyes::rolleyes:

I heard the Europeans say they would NEVER drink the disgusting tap water. Hmmm. gfp, are you on? You live in France...Any comments?

We will need to PM him - - - this thread is just a little intimidating and long to jump in the middle of :blink: esp. for a guy as it's such an estrogen-fest!

Good thing we have Picard and Vincent - - am I missing anybody else??

Susan-Dingo-girl--It does get easier--I will pray for a gorgeous, rich, sexy, kind, loving man from Monterey to come into your life and sweep you off your feet. Everyone join in and focus on that for Susan and maybe our combined prayers and good vibes will get things rolling so Susan will someday say, Robert-? who?

THANK YOU for that Robbin, so precious...and BTW 45 is not too old to adopt! Neither is 57! But...I will add to that prayer and say may we ALL have the peace, joy and love we so richly deserve...

Andrea, I tried the Irish oats that were supposed to be safe and had a bad time of it. I hope you can eat it, but heads up on that.

I ordered some from Gluten Free Oats, two pounds for about $16, and am ecstatic to report, NO problems at all, might you consider trying that? I really missed my oats and am so relieved.

Dang, this thing about the water is starting to concern me ....have had D for the last three or four days, not normal for me as I am very careful, and I MIX tap water with bottled.....I never thought of this! Must thank all of you for the thoughtful and varied posts on here - - we learn so much, don't we?

G'night John-Boy....'night Mary Ellen......'night Ma.....

Good night and sweet dreams to all of you.

:)

      Impossible to get diagnosis?

      By allis · Posted

      Hi folks, I have type 1 diabetes and was having some serious digestive symptoms about ten years ago, and my endocrinologist (who sees a lot of type 1s with celiac) told me to assume I was celiac and be gluten free from now on. I’ve been doing so since then, but my skin response to gluten products has been getting worse and worse so I was hoping to get a diagnosis. However, my general practitioner and my endo both told me that to get a celiac dx I would have to eat gluten for six weeks for the antibody test to work! That would make me so sick and unable to work! Is there any way to get a celiac dx through a combination of other tests? Should I give up on seeking a dx and just be more careful about skin contact? Thanks in advance ❤️

      Hi, Were you able to get a response from them? I have written to Nuts.com asking info. om how to they test, etc. I am awaiting a reply. And, my daughter is allergic to tree nuts, so we only buy their straightforward organic dried fruits sans any preservative/additives.

      Rectal pain

      By trents · Posted

      Not long before my celiac dx I was experiencing proctalgia fugax but it seems to have disappeared and I haven't been bothered with it in over 20 years.

      Rectal pain

      By Kmmmn · Posted

      Sorry, late to the party.  I started experiencing proctalgia fugax (sp), when I was about 16 - I am now 59.  This is a very painful spasm of what seems to be the sphincter muscle.  This almost always happens in the night and wakes me. For the first few decades this would usually happen around once a month on Sundays.  Very weird I know, but it was that regular at times you could set your watch by it.    In my 40's symptoms became less frequent.  I found that by essentially shoving an ice pack up my backside I could get some relief. 18 months ago I was diagnosed with Celiac and the PF now occurs pretty much weekly, sometimes more often.  I only just came across this thread so as yet have not mentioned PF to my GI doctor (thought it was just a 'me' thing) but will next time I see him in March.  I feel for you, it is indeed crippling pain.  I am a teacher and I think I have had PF 2 or 3 times in the classroom and have had to call the office for cover until the symptoms and sweating subside.  Good luck.  Hope this helps in some way.

      Tapioca Intolerance?

      By Dulcita · Posted

      Celiac, and sensitive to latex, kiwi, avocado, bananas and tapioca. After having a reaction to another Amy’s product (canned chili) which is labeled gluten-free and has no listed tapioca ingredients, I have realized that for those of us who are sensitive to tapioca, it may be even worse than I thought. Not sure if I’ve got this right, but I do know that companies that focus on gluten-free foods use a lot of tapioca. If a certain product doesn’t have any tapioca ingredients, they see no reason to list tapioca or its relatives in the “known allergens” or the “produced in a facility that also uses …..” statement — because it hasn’t been designated a known allergen.  They probably don’t even feel it necessary to apply the kind of Best Practices protocols (extra cleaning) to a production line that may have used tapioca in a previous product. So we may be ingesting tapioca when we are eating something, seemingly tapioca free, produced in a gluten-free dedicated facility. Really discouraging.
