[Guest guest]

Hi Lynn,

Happy Valentine's Day to you too supplement sister! This is such

great news, this can help you so much. It's great when you have a

direction!

Who gave you the food panel test and stool tests, your rheumy? I

believe that I need these tests also.

Yeah...no lupus!!

Hi Cherie,

I hope you had a good day with low stress.

My doctor is actually both a Naturopath and a MD! Strange, huh? He

likes to treat natural but knows there are times when medicine is

needed. Anyhow, he was the one that recommened the food panel. He

thinks if I can get the inflammation in my body lower, I will feel

better. He feels like each of us have things which can effect our

auto-immune but once the body hits a certain threshold, health is

affected. He is trying to get my body below that threshold again and

says diet is key. If I am eating things that my body disagrees with,

it is just one more thing it is fighting - or one more stresser.

The only thing that concerned me is that he said the auto-immune has

a memory. So, even though my implants are gone - it doesn't mean my

auto-immune will go back to normal. He does think the implants

caused my autoimmune to turn on itself though, but didn't give hope

that I could fix it. So, instead of fixing - he is trying to take

away things that are causing me issues.

Wow, that was wordy. You might want to ask your ND about the

testing. Insurance wouldn't pay for mine - another charge on the

credit cards due to implant illness (blah).

Love, Lynn

CLynn- This is great news! I must have missed a lot because I didn't

even know you were going to see a ND!

That's great that you found out you don't have Lupus! Your ND sounds

very knowledgeable and that's great that he took the time to look into

your history and talk to your rhuemy. Interesting how he said he has

seen other women with CTD with implants. Weird when you start finding

out that not all docs are clueless about this, it's just not discussed

a lot! I'm sure it will all eventually come out though!

Your food panel findings sound very interesting. I'm sure you will

start feeling a lot better once you eliminate the foods that you are

sensitive to. I probably need to do a food panel one of these days, I

haven't had one since I was kid and I was sensitive to about 38 of the

40 things they tested me for, so it wouldn't surprise me to find out I

am still sensitive to certain foods.

Congrats on finding a great ND! Sounds like you are on your way now

girl! Woo Hoo!

Love ya, Krista

Hi Krista,

I have been seeing the ND/MD for awhile now. I found him while

searching for a doctor who would prescribe armour thyroid - as most

won't. Patty had sent me the link. It has been a blessing because

he is also an MD and so insurance will pay for all of my visits.

Insurance didn't pay for the food panel or the stool though. Most

NDs I have called won't take insurance and require payment upfront.

I hope this new diet will help. I am sick of being sick.

I hope you had a nice Valentine's Day.

Love, CLynn

Lynn - I have not read the responses to this post by some of the other women BUT please be careful taking Cipro (antibiotic). This is what my PS put me on after my implant surgery and this is what I truely believe mseed up my gut the way it did. Within a few weeks of finishing 10 days of this antibiotic, I started having problems.....in my opinion...this is the culprit. I am sure my implants did not help the situation.

Please just be careful. I am not a doctor and not very knowledgable when it comes to alot of this but I do KNOW that cipro is a powerful antibiotic. If this is what he feels you need then by all means, go with it but just make sure he gives you all the info you need to feel comfortable. It may be that by taking probotics afterwards, you can control any problems that the antibiotic may cause. Just my opinion.

How are you feeling today??? I have my first round of dentist appointments today and my mouth is pretty darn sore. I hate the thought of going back ina month or so to have more work done but I gotta do what I gotta do I just tell myself that it will be worth it in the end.

Much Love,

Beth

Long post.... Test Results from Food Panel & Stool Tests

Hi ladies, Happy Valentine's Day!! Much love to everyone of you.First of all, thank you for all of the recommendations - without the recommendations and this board I would be clueless. Ok - I had an appt with my ND/MD today. I am pretty impressed with him (knock on wood). He asked for copies of my records from my rheumy visits, I had them faxed there on Monday. He not only reviewed my records, he actually called my rheumy to discuss my case! They both conclude that I have Unspecified Connective Tissue Disorder - so not LUPUS (yipee). Oh, and better yet - he admitted that he has seen several women with or who had breast implants with this disorder!!He does think I may be going Hyper on my thyroid and wants me to alternated 75mcg and 50mcg synthroid every other day. Right now I am on 75mcg. So, I pray for good sleep soon. I forgot to ask about the adrenals because we spent most

the time discussing my Food Panal findings and Stool Sample findings. Stool Sample: No YEAST!! But I am sure that has changed as I have been on two rounds of antibiotics since I submitted the samples. Beneficial bacteria found: Lactobacilus= no growth - this is not good, but I can get it up with probiotics. Escerichia coli +4 (which meant balanced gut flora). Bifdobacterium 1+ = is also too low. Oh and no parasites or ova. Bad bacteria - Citrobacter freundii, enterobacter cloacae & citrobacter species. I have to go on a round of Cipro Antibiotics to kill these bacterias, then he wants me to use natural agents such as Berberine, Oregano, Plant Tannins, Uva-Ursi to keep them away. Food Panal: I am gluten intolerant! He ran a IgG & Immunoglobulins Report. I received a Wellness Rotary Program that outlines what I should and should not eat. I haven't read it yet but there is a

lot of information including grocery lists, etc. THIS WAS WELL WORTH THE MONEY!!! It is crazy but I have an intolerance to Bananas, cheedar cheese, eggs, cow milk, wheat, turkey, tuna, all teas, white potatoes, onions, garlic, and the biggest one of all strawberries! !

Hi Beth,

I am sorry to hear you had to go to the dentist on Valentine's day.

Darn it! My mouth is still in a lot of pain from the tooth that was

removed, I am praying it is healing okay. You are right, we have to

do what we have to do to get better! Much of it kind of sucks

Oh, you and I are on the opposite sides of the bowel issues. I can

not go number 2!! Hence the hemrrhoids. I haven't went number 2

since last Saturday. I don't wish to have what you have but I am

wondering if this bacteria I have in my stool is what is causing the

constipation? My doc is very natropathic but he said that the

antibiotic is a must if I want to kill the bacteria in the stool.

The strain is resistant to Amoxacillian (SP?), Ampicillin and

Cephalothin. The only antibiotics that can kill it is Cipro,

Tetracycline and Sulfa. I can't do the sulfa with my thyroid and

tetracycline makes me sick to my stomach. So? I have to pray and

hope I can tolerate the Cirpo.

Thank you for the heads up though. Oh and YES, he said I need to

keep up on the probiotics for a long long time.

Hugs, CLynn

Lynn,

I thought the same as Beth when I read you were going to take Cipro.

I came across a forum on people who have had horrendous side effects

and I thought that's where my dizziness, visual disturbances, buzzing

in the ear, brain fog, etc. came from (mine's more mercury-related

though). Lots of people get severe diarrhea to the point they can't

leave the house for months after taking Cipro.

In fact, Dr. Kolb said she didn't want me on it long because of the

side effects so I was only on it for 3 days. I'm sure there are

alternatives like what your doc suggested. Love, PH

Lynn - The first ND I went to also said that Cipro is a great antibiotic when it is needed. He also said Flagyl was good which is what I took for a long time to try to fix my imbalance before I found this group. I am sure if you MD/ND says you need it then you will be fine. I just get nervous about Cipro since it seems to have messed me up so bad. However, you are right, we do have opposite problems and this may be just what you need.

It sounds like he is a good doctor who understands what you need to do for test and treatments. I wish I had someone like that close to me so I could go see them. Hang in there with the tooth. I am sure it will be better soon. I know having pain in the mouth can be awful but in the long run, it will be worth it.

Much Love,

Beth

Beth,

Did you tell your doctor about your reaction to the Cipro. I read on

the insert that if you develop severe diarrhea during treatment or

within several months after treatment, check with your doctor or

pharmacist RIGHT AWAY. DO NOT treat it with non-prescription over-

the-counter medicines. Did you tell your pharmacist or doctor? If

yes, what did they say?

Also, did you have bowel issues before explant? How much Cipro did

you take? He is asking me to take 1 a day for 10 days.

Thanks,

Lynn

Beth,

I will still ask my doctor. Thanks for the advice, I read up on the

drug and it did scare me.

This doctor is a good 1/2 hour from me. I live in such a small town

that I have to go to the bigger cities. I had to drive over an hour

for the dentist! It sounds like you may have it even worse. It is

such a chore to get healthy

Gosh, you two are scaring me. I will let him know my thoughts. The

other two drugs don't agree with me either. I get super sick with

tetracycline (vomit sick) and sulfa isn't good for me either. Hum,

darn it.

Thanks for the post. Better to be well informed.

Lynn - ok, yes I did tell me PS office right away. The only person I talked to was the receptionist and she said it had to be full blown diarrhea. At that point, it was just loose and more often. I did have the tummy pains but over the summer, it progressed into full blown diarrhea. I just happened to call before the office opened and my PS answered the phone. She was immediately concerned and that is when all this started. After I called the first time and talked to the receptionist and she assured me it was not from the cipro because it was not full blown diarrhea, I put it in the bak of my mind and tried to ignore it that it would go away.

Also, I took 1 pill every 12 hrs for 10 days after surgery. I never tried to treat my diarrhea with over the counter medicines. It did not get bad until about 5-6 months after implant surgery. But I remember 2 months after surgerymy tummy burned badly and my hubby and I went to the beach for a long weekend and I was scared to eat out because I always had to go to the bathrrom right away. Also, (sorry if this is TMI) it would irritate my butt after I would go to the bathroom. It would burn and itch like crazy. The itching adn burning started right after surgery...like within 2 weeks. I am not a person that likes to go to the doctor so whe it happened and I made the first phone call, I just tried to ignore it and hoped it would go away. BIG MISTAKE....it got out of control....which leads me to where i am now.

Hope ths answers your question. I jsut read your first post and as soon as I saw "CIPRO", I got worried for you. But you need to do what you feel is best for you!!!!!

Much Love,

Beth

Wow LYNN, that is some list of foods you are intolerant of!

I'm sorry to hear it....I know it's such a bummer to realize you have

to stop eating some things you love. Gluten is a big one. It just

confirms what we've said on our group so much...I think gluten

intolerance is a HUGE issue for many women and it is really

neglected. I am guilty...it is so hard to give up the wheat products

and foods that have bread when everyone else gets to eat them. It's

been a struggle for me.

It sounds like you've got some GREAT info to work with now! That's

awesome! I am happy for you!

You'll be feeling better sooner than you think when you stay faithful

to a diet free from those things you are allergic to.

Hugs,

Patty

intolerance is a HUGE issue for many women and it is really

neglected. I am guilty...it is so hard to give up the wheat products

and foods that have bread when everyone else gets to eat them. It's

been a struggle for me.

It sounds like you've got some GREAT info to work with now! That's

awesome! I am happy for you!

You'll be feeling better sooner than you think when you stay faithful

to a diet free from those things you are allergic to.

Hugs,

Patty
