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

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)

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

      Welcome to the forum, Linda! Many on this forum can sympathize with you. It can be extremely difficult to get reliable information about gluten when it comes to meds, supplements and oral hygiene products. This is especially true since so much of this stuff is generic and comes from over seas. I will deflect with regard to your question about meds and oral products but take you in another direction. Have you tried a low iodine diet. Iodine is known to exacerbate dermatitis herpetiformis and some find that a low iodine diet helps reduce the number of outbreaks. By the way, have you had your celiac antibodies retested recently? If they are elevated that might be a clue that you are getting gluten in your oral hygiene products or meds.

      Hi. I’m 70 years old, and a 22 year survivor of head and neck cancer treated with chemo-radiation, which resulted in non-existent submandibular salivary glands and extreme dry mouth and altered oral mucosa. I have been using dry mouth toothpaste, Rx oral dentrifices and moisturizers for years.  I’ve recently been diagnosed with severe celiac dermatitis herpetiformis. I was being treated with oral Dapsone, but it was not effective and I developed some serious side effects. So, the medication was stopped and I was started on Doxycycline (another antibiotic) for inflammation. I’ve been using Rx Betamethasone steroid ointment with little to no effect. I have tried every oral and topical antihistamine treatment available OTC. None have touched this horrible relentless itching. That is my history.  Now to my question. Does anybody know about gluten free toothpastes and mouth moisturizers? I ask because a very common dry mouth brand stated to me that they were indeed gluten free. But as I am not getting any better with my dermatitis herpetiformis, I was wondering if I was getting glutenized some way other than diet as  I have been following a strict clean gluten free diet, but I am not seeing any improvement at all. So, I started looking up the toothpastes and moisturizer ingredients individually and nine (9) of the eleven (11) or so listed showed up as   containing gluten or that may have gluten! Am I getting glutenized orally by these products?  As an aside, I checked on my favorite lavender scented baby lotion which is supposed to be gluten free, but many of those ingredients when investigated separately, show they  do contain or may contain gluten as well. I stopped using the lotion. But I cannot forgo my dental care. I was unable to get any information from the manufacturer of my current brand of chewable multivitamins either. They told me to check with my doctor. If THEY don’t know what’s in their product, how do they think a PCP will?  In light of all this, I am confused and angry that I might keep getting contaminated with gluten through products I am using that are supposedly gluten safe. *I should also state that I have a nickel allergy since I was about 12-13 years old. And I developed a contact allergy to latex (gloves) when I was a student nurse at 19 years old.  I know and I’m sorry that this is so lengthy. I’m trying to do everything I can to combat this condition, and I’m feeling very confused, anxious and angry about not getting adequate information as I try to educate and advocate for myself. I’m hoping someone here is more knowledgeable than me of how to navigate through all of this. Can anyone offer any advice?  Thank you for your time.  Respectfully,  Linda

      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.
