Also, if everyone could pray that the insurance company will cover the next few appointments and IV's and PICC line, I would SO appreciate it!

No problem Kassandra. :)

Ami, I'm terribly sorry for what you're going through. I'll be thinking about you.

Ami, I'm really sorry for what you're going through, it must be difficult. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. I think the waiting will be difficult. :(

I ordered the Humaworm.

:lol: This just struck me as funny. ;)

I always eat my steaks rare...sometimes really rare.

I usually get medium rare, but when it's a thick filet, that means red in the middle .... not anymore ... I'm a medium person now!

And hold on to them, if that was a tapeworm maybe they'll fit again. :)

I hope not .... I would like to gain 3 or 4 pounds, but not to fit in those jeans again ... I've bought several pairs of jeans in my current size, so I have a reason to stay here!

I just have to rave about the raw diet for a minute...I have literally eaten anything I want (as long as it's raw) and I have already lost 2 pounds!!! I am talking apple pie, donut holes and more! I don't think I will ever go back to cooked food! LOL! :lol:

On a serious note...I did a little pilates yesterday (literally 15 minutes) and I felt terrible today! I felt like I had the flu...yuck! I took 4 advil and am feeling better...not great, but much better. Is it possible that I "shook" things up in my body?

I'm glad the raw food is working out for you!

You can certainly stir things up! When you work out, you raise the body temperature .... high temps kill bacteria.

There was talk on LN once about Dr. B saying that he has seen people go into remission completely with exercise! That's how important it is. I have done this three times myself .... the third included having my amalgams out.

I used to herx after exercise .... I don't anymore.

Jin is a maybe for Lyme as well.

How could I forget Jin......Sorry Jin. :(

Where are you Jin?

Yes, I think the number will rise once everyone is tested or diagnosed. I'm tending to think MANY more here actually have it than just those who have been tested.

Me too......think that many more have it. My family doesn't appear to be in that loop and I have no reason to think we are. You guys are stuck with me though. :P

Also, if everyone could pray that the insurance company will cover the next few appointments and IV's and PICC line, I would SO appreciate it! We are so desperate for them to do this...if they don't we are going to go down the legal route with them.

I cerainly hope you don't have to go the legal route but I do agree with that decision. This is just plain ridiculous! :angry:

You guys are getting me more interested in this product. I seriously doubt I should try anything like that while I still have my amalgams in since parasites absorb the mercury. Maybe that's part of why I haven't had too many obvious symptoms.

I'm kinda thinking I should have waited till after the holidays .... I mean, a tapeworm could come in handy over the holidays! :lol:

Seriously, though, I am feeling less bloated ... I'm wondering if that's a side effect .... of course it could be a side effect of other parasites, too.

Hey Everyone ^_^

Thanksgiving almost here!

Guess what that means?

No turkey for me. :(

How is everyone? I am still here. Still eating gallons of ice cream and I seriously need an intervention before It really becomes, death by chocolate.

Actually death by vanilla. They have a pumpking pie ice cream that whole foods sells. I might have to have one of those Thursday <_< maybe we'll see.

Other than that nothing, nothing new. I read a few post but time is sooo limited at the library.

Read about Rinne Bars and how we need to buy stock now before Rachel buys them all.

Read about tapeworms and about all our parasites eating turkey next week.

Is anyone going to cheat and eat pumpkin pie, or a roll, or mash potatoes with gravy? If you do cheat for me too o.k.?

Do you think eating ice cream everyday can hinder my detoxing the mercury and metals?

Hey Jinn I believe that stuff we scrape off our face and neck are toxins. Mine are white but turn green when I wipe them on a paper towel or toilet paper.

Grosss huh?

Hey Rachel I am going to PM you okay

see ya

OMG...I just had the BEST raw pizza!!! It was free of everything (even nuts!!!). It was SO GOOD!!! I never thought I could have pizza again!! :lol:

Carla, I think this is the first holiday season I won't gain weight. Even if I wasn't raw, I don't think I could eat anything at any of our family gatherings...lol. There is an upside to multiple food intolerances...lol.

I am NOT going to do them without a PICC or central line! :angry: I will put my foot down. I already have a huge bruise on my arm from the blood draw 2 days ago! :angry:

Kassandra, it's abominable that your insurance is holding this up for you. :angry:

Andrea,

It's great to be posting again! :D

Hey, Morgan!! :lol: It's lovely to meet you!

Chocolate is a difficult one to get off of. I haven't been buying it lately.

Before I went gluten free I was chocolate addict and always had incredibly low magnesium levels, now my magnesium levels have come up I'm still addicted. The only problem is find soy free stuff... every time we get a bag of Enjoy Life I end up snarfing it all up. :rolleyes:

Jin,

I forgot to mention this before, I made the pumpkin pie with snickerdoodle crusts. I made them mini--in a muffin tin--and had one straight out of the oven. I couldn't taste the crust very well when it was hot, but when they cooled off both flavors stood out beautifully. I think I ate 5. :rolleyes:

I haven't regurgitated in 5 days!!

Wonderful!!!!

Ami,

I'm so sorry, and am praying. :(

Does anyone have a count of how many positives, on this thread, there are now?

I'm also a possibility.

You can certainly stir things up! When you work out, you raise the body temperature .... high temps kill bacteria.

That might explain why I feel utterly horrible whenever I try and exercise. I have a ton of energy one minute, and then want to crash and sleep the next. Hm... <_<

Ami,

I too am very sorry for your loss.

I had a simular experience but I was not detoxing. I miscarried after my first, I was 10 wks. Unknown to me at the time,

I most definitly had my heavy metal toxicity and Lyme and a mouth full of amalgams so the Lord only knows why it happened.

Be nice to yourself and I will pray your body does what naturally needs to do it this situation.

If you need anything don't hesitate to pm me.

Boy does that sound familiar. My hubby and I go through a bag in two sittings......maybe less.

Those snickerdoodle pumpkin mini pies sound pretty good. :)

Kassandra,

How do you have a raw pizza? Don't you have to have a cooked crust?

Ok, to update the possible lyme list......hopefully I won't forget anyone this time.

Carla's oldest son, Kassandra, Sarah, Birdy, Jin........anybody else?

Kassandra, it all looks delicious!

So, how much time does it take to prepare this stuff? The problem I was having was making food for Adam and I, then making dinner for the rest of the family .... it's just too time consuming! Well, and we weren't even eating totally raw like you are!

Carla,

It's not that bad. The biggest thing is soaking nuts the night before. You really do have to plan "meals" otherwise you end up eating salads all the time...lol. Last night I chose 3 recpies I wanted to make today and I soaked the seeds/nuts over night and then prepared the "crust" for the pizza this morning and put it in the dehydrator today for 4 hours while we ran errands, etc.

It's not terrible time consuming...just takes more planning. I like recipes that don't require 24 hours of dehydrating because that is just taunting...lol. I made those cocoa nib cookies in 20 min. or less.

Wow, new colors...not saying I don't like them...just WOW, my eyes need to adjust, lol.

This just struck me as funny. ;)

Yeah, every time I type the stupid thing it comes out humanworm first. :lol:

Seriously, though, I am feeling less bloated ... I'm wondering if that's a side effect .... of course it could be a side effect of other parasites, too.

I'm hoping this will clear up. The bloating seems to always be there no matter what I do.

Is anyone going to cheat and eat pumpkin pie, or a roll, or mash potatoes with gravy? If you do cheat for me too o.k.?

Whole Foods has a gluten-free pie, and you'd better believe that if I can find it I'm going to buy and eat it. :P

(And then I'll be taking extra yeast killers, lol).

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Cathijean90! I went 13 years from the first laboratory evidence of celiac disease onset before I was diagnosed. But there were symptoms of celiac disease many years before that like a lot of gas. The first laboratory evidence was a rejected Red Cross blood donation because of elevated liver enzymes. They assume you have hepatitis if your liver enzymes are elevated. But I was checked for all varieties of hepatitis and that wasn't it. Liver enzymes continued to slowly creep up for another 13 years and my PCP tested me for a lot of stuff and it was all negative. He ran out of ideas. By that time, iron stores were dropping as was albumin and total protein. Finally, I took it upon myself to schedule an appointment with a GI doc and the first thing he did was test me for celiac disease. I was positive of course. After three months of gluten free eating the liver enzymes were back in normal range. That was back in about 1992. Your story and mine are more typical than not. I think the average time to diagnosis from the onset of symptoms and initial investigation into causes for symptom is about 10 years. Things are improving as there is more general awareness in the medical community about celiac disease than there used to be years ago. The risk of small bowel lymphoma in the celiac population is 4x that of the general population. That's the bad news is.  The good news is, it's still pretty rare as a whole. Yes, absolutely! You can expect substantial healing even after all these years if you begin to observe a strict gluten free diet. Take heart! But I have one question. What exactly did the paperwork from 15 years ago say about your having celiac disease? Was it a test result? Was it an official diagnosis? Can you share the specifics please? If you have any celiac blood antibody test results could you post them, along with the reference ranges for each test? Did you have an endoscopy/biopsy to confirm the blood test results?

      I’m terrified it’s too late for me😭

      By Cathijean90 · Posted

      I’ve just learned that I had been diagnosed with celiac and didn’t even know. I found it on paperwork from 15 years ago. No idea how this was missed by every doctor I’ve seen after the fact. I’m sitting here in tears because I have really awful symptoms that have been pushed off for years onto other medical conditions. My teeth are now ruined from vomiting, I have horrible rashes on my hands, I’ve lost a lot of weight, I’m always in pain, I haven’t had a period in about 8-9 months. I’m so scared. I have children and I saw it can cause cancer, infertility, heart and liver problems😭 I’ve been in my room crying for the last 20minutes praying. This going untreated for so long has me feeling like I’m ruined and it’s going to take me away from my babies. I found this site googling and I don’t know really what has me posting this besides wanting to hear from others that went a long time with symptoms but still didn’t know to quit gluten. I’m quitting today, I won’t touch gluten ever again and I’m making an appointment somewhere to get checked for everything that could be damaged. Is this an automatic sentence for cancer and heart/liver damage after all these symptoms and years? Is there still a good chance that quitting gluten and being proactive from here on out that I’ll be okay? That I could still heal myself and possibly have more children? Has anyone had it left untreated for this amount of time and not had cancer, heart, fertility issues or liver problems that couldn’t be fixed? I’m sure I sound insane but my anxiety is through the roof. I don’t wanna die 😭 I don’t want something taking me from my babies. I’d gladly take anyone’s advice or hear your story of how long you had it before being diagnosed and if you’re still okay?

      diagnostic testing variance

      By trents · Posted

      Genetic testing cannot be used to diagnose celiac disease but it can be used to rule it out and also to establish the potential to develop celiac disease. About 40% of the general population has the genetic potential to develop celiac disease but only about 1% actually develop it. To develop celiac disease when you have the genetic potential also requires some kind of trigger to turn the latent genes "on", as it were. The trigger can be a lot of things and is the big mystery component of the celiac disease puzzle at this point in time with regard to the state of our knowledge.  Your IGA serum score would seem to indicate you are not IGA deficient and your tTG-IGA score looks to be in the normal range but in the future please include the reference ranges for negative vs. positive because different labs used different reference ranges. There is no industry standard.

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Since nearly 40% of the population have the genes for celiac disease, but only ~1% end up getting it, a genetic test will only tell you that it is possible that you could one day get celiac disease, it would not be able to tell whether you currently have it or not.

      so much to it.  the genetic testing will help if i don’t have it right? If theres no gene found then I definitely don’t have celiac?  I guess genetic testing, plus ruling out h.pylori, plus gluten challenge will be a good way to confirm yes or no for celiac.
