Congratulations!! Get ready for the ride of your life; parenthood is the most incredible adventure. Enjoy every moment; you won't believe how fast he grows! (I distinctly remember looking at my 2-month-old son and thinking, "Who took my newborn and replaced him with this 2-month-old???")

Jeanne

Jewels,

THANKS! :D Yep, he is such a blessing. :wub: I've turned into one of those mothers who whips out the photos of her baby for everyone from the grocery store clerk to the postman! :lol:

Jeanne,

Yep, I already have had the thought "who took my newborn and gave me this 2-month old?" It happened a few weeks ago when he outgrew his first outfit. I wanted to cry, but instead I folded it up to put in my keepsake box. Gee whiz, I've turned into this sappy nutcase! :D It was 2 a.m. and I was changing a poopy diaper and I couldn't shove his leg in the little jumper; I realized he was too long for it and I just lost it! (keep in mind, I was also sleep deprived). I debated on whether or not to go get the scissors and cut the feet out of the jumper and shove him into it or just accept that my baby was growing up. :blink: I finally decided on the latter of the choices. (although, to tell the truth, all that saved that outfit is that I couldn't find the scissors)! ;)

Hugs and blessings. -Julie

Well, enjoy sappy nutcase-dom; it's the best part, I think. And the sleep deprivation will eventually get better too! :)

HAAA! :lol: Thank you, I will try! He is constantly shoving his right hand in his mouth, and everyone keeps telling me that he's hungry...but I know he's not. He's just at that stage where he's discovering he can fit his hand in his mouth whenever he wants to do it. If I fed him everytime he shoved that fist into his mouth, he would have a bottle all day! :rolleyes: He's also started this new thing of trying to chew on his tongue and stick it out; again, people say that this gesture means he's hungry too. I really can't see how he can be constantly hungry; I think he's discovering his body. Any thoughts? :huh:

Blessings to all.

There seem to be two (maybe more) trains of thought. There is the: if he makes a noise or movement he is hungry crowd, and the baby doesn't need to eat every minute crowd. When my daugher was six weeks old, I was at my mom's and my daughter started to fuss. I started to nurse her (again!) and my mom told me to hand her over. She walked around with her a little and she settled right down. She taught me not to automatically feed the baby everytime she fussed. I was able to spread the feedings apart so I could get a little rest in between. My twin sister however belonged to the other camp and every time her babies made a noise she'd feed them. All of our kids have turned out fine. I liked my way better for me and my sister liked her way better for her. You'll get lots of advice with your kids. Figure out what works for you and don't worry about it.

Thanks for your response! :) What you said makes sense. And my baby is healthy; he is "officially" two months today and weighs about 15 pounds...so he's eating well! :P Being a first time mom, I'm trying to take all opinions into consideration. But I guess I know my child best. Thank you for sharing your story!

-Julie

      Testing positive for antibodies, are there visible changes to the colon that could be seen without a biopsy?

      By trents · Posted

      Thanks for the additional information. I was thinking of asking you if your daughter was taking methylated vitamins since she has the MTHFR gene but you beat me to it. To answer the question you posed in your original post, as I explained, celiac disease does not damage the colon but the lining of the small bowel. If the damage is pronounced enough and the doc doing it is experienced, yes, the damage done to the lining of the small bowel can be spotted with the naked eye.

      I could not locate the correct Gary Brecka video where he explains the methylation process and specifically states things about how people with the MTRR homozygous gene mutation are known to suffer from heartburn due to a weakened valve/sphincter where the esophagus and the stomach connect.  My brother had the youtube video sent to him from 10x health which is probably why I cannot locate it.     I will have read up on mast cell activation.  I do not know anything about it.  Tums is my preferred gerd treatment.  I always figured a little extra calcium could not hurt me.

      Trents: Due to a genetic mutation, my daughter has inherited from both parents she cannot process the Folic Acid provided in the fortified American grains.   An MD told her to avoid eating fortified grains.   My daughter makes the assumption that unless she makes the food item, that the baker used a fortified grain so she has been limiting her gluten intake since 2020.   Her Psychiatrist was who tested her for MTHFR gene issue because she suffers from depression and severe anxiety. The Psychatrist also instructed my daughter to supplement with a methylated version of folate once she knew my daughter was homozygous, because the methylated version bypasses the mutated gene step so her body can absorb it.  Low folate absorption impacts serotonin and dopamine production.  My husband and I also both have two other homozygous gene mutations that interfere with vitamin absorption: MTRR and VDR taq.  The first interferes with B-12 absorption which requires us to take a methylated B-12 vitamin and the second with Vitamin D absorption so we have to take higher doses to stay within normal levels.   My brother, who has the exact same gene mutations, went through 10x health genetic testing for vitamin supplements (paid by his employer) and received a huge report saying the same things about which types of supplements had to be taken.  Gary Brecka does videos on how these gene mutations impact the vitamin absorption pathways.       If my brother had not gotten his testing through work, he would never would have started his supplement journey.  His testing is what triggered my getting functional health testing that tested similar biomarkers to his.  Again the celiac testing was an add-on test that I did off the cuff.

      Colonoscopy with large are of inflammation

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @growlinhard1! If eliminating gluten from your diet makes significant improvement in your symptoms then there are two possibilities. Either you have celiac disease (aka, gluten intolerance) or NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity, aka, gluten sensitivity). The difference is that celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that creates inflammation and, over time, damages the lining of the small bowel which inhibits nutrient absorption whereas NCGS does not damage the lining of the small bowel. They share many of the same symptoms. At the end of the day, the antidote for both is to abstain from foods that contain wheat, barley or rye, the three gluten-containing grains. Some countries supply stipends and healthcare benefits for those with an official celiac diagnosis. If you live in the USA that does not apply. The main reasons for seeking an official celiac diagnosis are psychological and social. Many people have a hard time not falling off the gluten free bandwagon without an official diagnosis. They find it easy to rationalize it all away as being temporary or due to something else. When you have an official diagnosis, you tend to take gluten-free eating more seriously. Socially, family and friends are more likely to respect and attempt to comply with your need to eat gluten free if you have an official diagnosis of celiac disease. Your physician is more likely to take you seriously as well if you have an official diagnosis because there are typically other health problems that are spinoffs which develop from celiac disease in time. One autoimmune disease invites others. There are no tests for NCGS. Celiac disease must first be ruled out. We do have specific tests for celiac disease. By the way, some experts believe that NCGS can transition into celiac disease. If your endoscopy/biopsy is only a month away, I would encourage you to stick it out and go back on gluten to get an official diagnosis. You still have time to get a valid test result if you start back on gluten now, 10g of gluten daily which is about the amount found in 4-6 slices of wheat bread.

      dermatitis herpetiformis outbreaks while on strict gluten-free diet

      By BoiseNic · Posted

      I have the same problem. No matter what I eat, I seem to get a break out every 1 to 2 months. I do not do oats, citrus fruits, apples, onions and other foods also, as those cause reactions. The only time I have zero problems is when I fast. The only staple grain I have is quinoa, as that doesn't seem to cause me issues. I have linked mine to a microbiome imbalance. I am currently on month 3 of Skinesa. It's supposed to take 3 months before seeing results. I guess we'll see.
