Ohhhh! I always thought that meant something else. Why are people so concerned with getting cumined and cinnamoned? :unsure:

My DD has done it again. She's cunning that one. Her birthday is on Saturday and I asked her what she wanted. She said there were only 2 things that she really, really wanted: a puppy and her ears pierced. That's all she wanted... We had told her before that no dog until she's at least 10 and no ear piercing until she's 12....

She's getting her ears pierced Saturday morning :rolleyes:

hey, you silly mods...............does anyone one of you talented folks know where my thread went where i was asking about the pro-biotic Bio-K+ went?

Probably into the abyss of 'no one read' so buried in the depths of hell...........excuse me...........depths of the c.c storage vaultlaugh.gif

But hey, could use some help here buddies.

This c-diff is gone get me in the end...........so to speak.............ph34r.gif

Joooodie! I'm so sorry to hear that you still have this awful thing hanging around - - C. diff is a horrible infection. Now, I could leap over to your dedicated thread and be the first to reply, but I'm too lazy and tired -- heading for bed.. . . :rolleyes:... . so I'll mention this here in Psillyville: I did reams of research a couple of years ago on the treatment of C. Diffficile, as my brother-in-law came close to dying from it. After all my on-line, peer-reviewed digging, I discovered that the probiotic Saccharomyces Boulardi is, by far, the most effective "good" bacterium to fight this. It really helped my BIL. It is pricey, but worth it! :)

Hi Joodee (in Temecula :) - hope you're not hiding from anyone :P )

Just lost a post to you to a temperamental mouse (rose right up and bit me :o )

I had a C-diff infection, diagnosed by Great Smokies (now Genova) back in the 90's by stool sample. It came back as being treatable by a forgotten antibiotic, or by Gentian formula. I chose the Gentian formula since it was antibiotics what got me there in the first place. I was treated by an alternative MD in Marin County. I also had candida overgrowth and he prescribed lots of supplements including deglycirrnizated (sp?) licorice, evening primrose oil, and lots of stuff I don't remember. How were you diagnosed?

Also, perhaps of interest, I have just been prescribed a really strong probiotic by Krispin Sullivan (The Krispin Report - on lectins) to heal my leaky gut which is letting the lectins through. It is called VSL#3 and contains 254 billion organisms of seven different strains to be sprinkled on yogurt, ice cream or mixed with water if you MUST :unsure: ) and is not digested until it reaches where it needs to be. It is pricey, but could be worth it if it works. She swears by it - she is a CN. Whatever you take, hope it works.

Rachelle..........thanks so much. That's just what I figured happened. Most of mine do end up there.

No one sees them and never seem to get much help with what ails me I'm the weirdo I guess.

Know the MOD's don't allow a 'bounce' so will just count on my sillies again as usual

Appreciate the help Em

Thanks shroomy..........

I got this from a abx to get rid of the H-pylori bacteria causing the stomach ulcers that were causing the blockage and not allowing the stomach to empty. Then scare tissue built up and have to keep going for endoscopy to stretch the what ever........cool.gif to allow all to flow. Both GI and ID specialist said the drug caused the c-diff. I never usually take abx and go more holistic routes whenever I can. I this case, had to take the drug..........no choice in the matter.

Was dx'd with 3 stool samples -3 different day........both times and we positive for both A and B stains.

I have some evening primrose capsules here maybe i should just take some. Was on PB8 acidophilus for years and while on vanco, took 3 with each meal.

I've heard of the VSL#3 Alot of the people on LOD diet take that one.

Thanks for the advice kido

Can't tell you how much I appreciate you all helping me out here

don't know if i can't put a link on here to a video but will try.......not promoting the probotic.......it was from a news program..........will give it a go

If it's not allowed.............I'm sure a MOD will catch it laugh.gif

will post this first to be sure I don't lose this one.

Hi Judith :D

I did not sleep in me own bed last night but said bed and the rest of me stuph was delivered yesterday and will be slept in tonight fer sure :)

I like this guest house we're staying in--last night, Mark and I got in late from unpacking at the apartment and went down to the kitchen to have sumphin to eat. We got talking to a delightphul gentleman from Kenya who is wrapping up teaching here and is planning on returning home soon.

Come to find out, he attended Syracuse University in the early 70's--Mark and I both grew up within a couple miles of the campus and lived there at that time. We reminised about the area, and we learned a lot about how his life in Kenya compares wif life here. Very interesting and facinating!

Staying here is like staying at yer grandma's house if she took in cool boarders. :rolleyes:

what a fun place Patti, for Mark to have hung his hat while being away from you

Glad you had a day to kinda recoop from the coughing and sore throat. Hope your feeling better and don't over do tonight. Wish i could have some of your Mac and Cheese..........sure sounds good.

Enjoy your old bed tonighwink.gif oh, and be sure to get some sleep too laugh.gif

Ok my silly dr team.

Had to see a new Internist......fired the last one. Wanted a woman and got a pill pusher instead. Jim said 4 drug reps came to see her while he was waiting for me.

Another grand slam Dr. I'm on a roll and not complaining. Had to go as the lymph leg was swelling like a tree stump. He was great and he joked........always like that.........when i told him who my GI and LD were. He's my GI's Dr but my GI never goes to dr's unless for blood work.........laugh.gif He said he sees them everyday in the hospital. He said......... " Well with all you have going on you have a great team here."

Won't bore you with details but he wished i'd come in as a new patient so he could give me 1/2 in stead of the alloted.ph34r.gif 15 min. Next time said book a new patient and I'll give you and your husband 45 min. I really want to look over your comprehensive reports from PA Dr.

Got my flu shot............was i crazyblink.gif Don't want to get sick like Patti and she says she just had a cold.......... so flu cold what ever I want it to go away...........Just like EARL

Anyone heard from Lisa B?

Hope all on the coast are ok.

Thanks for caring you all

Hooray, stuph is delivered - you is moved in.

I know what you mean about guest houses. I stayed in one when I first got to London, and the peeps there were fascinating. Clay's uncle, until he moved to the U.S. at 60, spent most of his life living in boarding houses :o - a bachelor and I guess he liked the company. There was a certain gentleman of a certain age staying at the boarding house where I was, an Aussie no less, who claimed he owned an island off the coast of Oz and tried to sweep me off my feet and carry me back there :unsure:

:blink:

:lol:

I said no, he would just have to settle for a dinner date or two cos I only just got to London and weren't leaving :rolleyes:

Ways to decorate your va-jay-jay!!!!!!

Besides the usual trimming

...there is, of course, the Brazilian

....which has led to interesting ways to decorate your bare hoo-ha

......like bedazzling.....little adhesive rhinestones (Jennifer Love Hewitt says it's like a "little disco ball down there") :lol:

....or temporary vag tattoos

.....and soon to come.........glow-in-the-dark temporary tats :rolleyes:

There's also a temporary dye to restore the 'pink' to your cooch (their word, not mine) ;)

Then there's panties with an extension attached to them which you insert into your vagina so you can practice your kegels :huh:

.....or how about the pantiliners in hot pink leopard print? :P

.....or the pad for your undies that prevent camel toe :o

I can't believe they didn't mention glitter! B)

We did the second interviews yesterday taking Karen's hub's input to heart. We looked for which of the two would fit better in terms of personality, and agreed on one of them. Today, we made an offer and it was accepted. She starts tomorrow. :)

Oh, and I am definitely feeling old.

We have had many employees who are young enough that we could be their parents, and customers sometimes ask, "Is that your daughter?" But this time around it is a larger difference. With forty years between us, I am old enough to be her grandfather. :o

I had topical dermatitis in certain areas, blepharitis (eyelids), and a patch of dermatitis herpetiformis on the back of my right-thumb area. I do believe that many people who have the genetic...

While your prior allergy tests didn't flag legumes, it's possible to develop a new allergy at any time. The symptoms you describe—extreme dizziness, racing heart, sweating, and itching—are consistent with a systemic allergic response, not just an intolerance. Given your history of celiac disease and tree nut allergies, your immune system is already predisposed to sensitivities. It is crucial to stop consuming green beans immediately and consult an allergist. They can perform more specific testing and may prescribe an epinephrine auto-injector for emergency use, as this type of reaction can be unpredictable and potentially escalate.

My dietitian told me that my diet looks absolutely perfect and I can’t think of many possible ways to get cc as I am very strict. However, when I did my check up gastroscopy a year later my healing only showed a slow improvement going from marsh 3b - 3a. Is this normal healing for a year? My main symtoms pre- diagnosis was joint/back pain, poor immune system and stomach problems (especially in the morning). Joint pain and the immune system improved almost instantly but the stomach problems still persist (but has gotten better). For reference I am a 21 year old male and both my ttg levels were normal after just 4 months and also the test for calkprotekin. My diet consists of 99% home cooked meals in a kitchen free from gluten.

      Issues before diagnosis

      By cristiana · Posted

      I agree, it so often overlooked! I live in the UK and I have often wondered why doctors are so reluctant to at least exclude it - my thoughts are perhaps the particular tests are expensive for the NHS, so therefore saved for people with 'obvious' symptoms.  I was diagnosed in 2013 and was told immediately that my parents, sibling and children should be checked.  My parents' GP to this day has not put forward my father for testing, and my mother was never tested in her lifetime, despite the fact that they both have some interesting symptoms/family history that reflect they might have coeliac disease (Dad - extreme bloating, and his Mum clearly had autoimmune issues, albeit undiagnosed as such; Mum - osteoporosis, anxiety).  I am now my father' legal guardian and suspecting my parents may have forgotten to ask their GP for a test (which is entirely possible!) I put it to his last GP that he ought to be tested.  He looked at Dad's blood results and purely because he was not anemic said he wasn't a coeliac.  Hopefully as the awareness of Coeliac Disease spreads among the general public, people will be able to advocate for themselves.  It is hard because in the UK the NHS is very stretched, but the fallout from not being diagnosed in a timely fashion will only cost the NHS more money. Interestingly, a complete aside, I met someone recently whose son was diagnosed (I think she said he was 8).  At a recent birthday party with 8 guests, 4 boys out of the 8 had received diagnosis of Coeliac Disease, which is an astounding statistic  As far as I know, though, they had all had obvious gastric symptoms leading to their NHS diagnosis.  In my own case I had  acute onset anxiety, hypnopompic hallucinations (vivid hallucinations upon waking),  odd liver function, anxiety, headaches, ulcers and low iron but it wasn't until the gastric symptoms hit me that a GP thought to do coeliac testing, and my numbers were through the roof.  As @trents says, by the grace of God I was diagnosed, and the diet has pretty much dealt with most of those symptoms.  I have much to be grateful for.
