Never heard of it, but I had to post when you said that you were almost 45--I THOUGHT YOU WERE IN YOUR 20's!!!!! Dang, girl, you look at least 20 years younger than your age--what's your secret?

This might not be your situation... but... a few weeks back, here in Florida there was a virus that was going around that made people dizzy... was nothing serious, but worried alot of folks... my mom had it.. her's lasted about a week, then the dizziness slowly went away.

That could be it. I feel that bad! My dad was just visiting from Florida .... but I don't think he's been sick.

Now if it were me that came to visit you... you would have thought it was the bird flu :o:lol:

No, since we have pet birds you wouldn't have been allowed in the house until the vet said you were clean! I've already been sick from a bird once, it wasn't pretty!!

Everyone thinks I'm nuts when I say it, but coffee helps me too, & that's even though I had D as my main GI symptom... particularly if I eat any sweets, I really HAVE to have coffee or I feel ill. I really don't know what it's doing, but it helps somehow.

I went and researched a little bit, it's got hundreds of compounds, in fact it decreases the risk of Type 2 diabetes and Parkinsons... has enzymes and all kinds of good stuff for you body. I never knew this before I looked it up, it was amazing.

I just heard somewhere that it's very high in antioxidants too! Maybe it's the enzymes that are helping with digestion, I'd never heard that one.

Okay, let me know if you still have problems tomorrow and I'll try to help. For me not just this site but a few were a big eye opener for me. <--- good googly moogly... don't think I used correct English... :lol:

It just worked when I tried it again. I'm sending the address to my equally javafied brother! (How's that for incorrect English?) Thanks!

Funny I was just on an insomnia thread... giving advice! Hm...

Well, here I am again, aging as gracefully as possible without losing my face. Do you goofy young'uns need instructions? I have a few secrets I'll be happy to share.

1. If there's a large mirror in your bathroom, never look into it when you're just stepping out of the shower! I haven't looked at my naked body in fifteen years.

2. Never look at yourself in the full-length mirrors in dressings rooms until you are fully clothed. Even then, do not look at your face under those flourescent lights.

3. Remember that all overhead lighting is your enemy. Remodel your bathroom to exclude overhead lights; instead install soft lighting on both sides of your mirror.

4. Put on your makeup in this soft light; go out and have a good time; and never look at your face in another mirror until you get home.

Do you get my drift here? Mirrors are not our friends. That's because we women see ourselves as we really are. :( Men, on the other hand, begin to lose all touch with reality after their 30th birthday. Somehow they become vision-impaired when gazing into mirrors. Do they see wrinkles, sagging pot bellies, multiple chins, shiny bald heads? No indeedy. They only see the bodies of the 18-year-old studs they used to be! And that explains why they believe the flattery of sweet young things looking for a sugar daddy. Men are hilarious! :lol:

5. Wear long sleeves. A few years ago one of my little grandsons was affectionately squeezing my well-covered upper arm, when he suddenly stopped and gasped, "Grandmama, are you OLD?" Thereafter I added:

5-B. Allow no upper arm squeezing. :o

:lol::lol::lol:

Coffee seems to be helping me heal... as silly as that sounds.

I'm really glad the coffee's helping you :) It's really interesting.

I don't know what I would do without my morning coffee. I use it to jumpstart my batteries. Then, after the 3rd and final cup, the batteries slowly die until I need to take a nap. When I did not drink coffee for a year or so after the diagnosis, my batteries were completely dead. Now, I use more scoups then ever in the coffee pot and as soon as there is enough coffee that has dripped through to fill one mug, I am drinking that sucker. The first mug filled that way is like having almost pure caffeine. This from a lady who thought anything over 3 level scoups in a 12 cup was way too much coffee and made it way too strong. How times require drastic measures - he he.

Once when my husband was out of work I decided to cut out coffee to save money. I work as a freelancer & I found I ran out of steam about 3 hours earlier without coffee! Did the math & realized it was thriftier to keep drinking it.

Please tell your husband that he is one terrific portrait photographer (he also had a beautiful subject). I am partial to black and white and the old sepia tone photos. I assume he is a professional photographer?

No, he runs a restaurant! (A very un-gluten-free one, unfortunately...) but he has a natural talent for photos. His mom is really good at it too as is his brother. My son actually wants to be a pro-- his favorite course in college so far was photojournalism. My son had his first show at a local coffee shop this summer. It was so exciting!

I can't believe after all of the "mirror" mentioning that you didn't say "NO magnification mirrors". Now THOSE things are evil....show every pore, crevice and wrinkle.... :ph34r::blink:

I never looked good in the fun house mirrors. When I was chubby (I hate the word fat) I looked like an elephant. Now that I am skinny, I would probably look like a stick that need some nourishment (which I do). The mirrors I hate are the ones at the real nice stores. They NEVER tell the truth. If you are chubby (not fat, remember), then you look like you are 15 or 20 pounds lighter then you are. Then you go out to the front and buy all of those clothes that made you look so thin. Now, I have no idea what I look like in the mirrors of the real nice stores. Can't afford those clothes, since I buy all the gluten free ingreds and spend hundreds on vitamins, etc. he he.

There's storms brewing around here today, plus a tropical system forming in the Atlantic... I think that's why I'm a bit down today. The weather affects me badly... makes my body hurt... I don't think I'll EVER figure that one out.. :blink:

Have you considered Candida? That's a symptom of it.

Thanks for asking but it's not that, I have a multitude of problems.. autoimmune things plus Celiac and PA... plus to top it off I was in a bad auto accident...

Don't you worry your little head over any of it... I'm coming back strong... I just have bad days tho...

:)

I was thinking about what you said about that dizzy virus in Florida. I've just felt under the weather (excuse the pun) for a couple days starting yesterday which is when I was dizzy. Today I'm not dizzy, but just very fatigued. So much that it would surprise me if it was all from this mouthpiece. I picked up my dad from the airport, so a whole planeful of people coming from Florida walked past me, stood by me at the baggage claim, etc. I wonder if I got that virus from them! <_< I got sick seven days after I picked him up, does that sound right? If not, then it must all be from this mouthpiece.

      Not sure if this is Celiac or just a gluten-free intolerance

      By Brook G · Posted

      People who are Celiac don't have a gluten response to Quinoa, but some people who are gluten intolerant do.  I react to quinoa just like I do to gluten.  Freddies/Kroger came out with their own gluten-free Bread and I didn't think to read the ingredients.  I couldn't figure out where I would have gotten gluten in my diet until I read the ingredients in their bread... QUINOA

      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.
