Re: if you have thyroid antibodies, read

[Guest guest]

Thanks ! I guess I need to get on the stick and get tested again

to see what is going on (whether or not I have any more antibodies to

my thyroid and if I do, if celiac disease is a factor.) I have been

feeling really good, so I am not too worried about it, but it has been

about a year and a half since I was last tested. Guess it is time. I

just hate going to the doctor! Blah!

What is the exact test name that I should ask for?

Thanks . Glad to hear you are doing so well and getting so close

to having your baby!!

Thanks for the great info ! Can you list that website again? I

only saw the wwww. part. I know I passed this info on to Daryl--

printed it off and sent it to her in the mail, because I think she

needed to get her and her son tested for it too. If I still test

positive for Hashimoto's then I will definitely do this test and get

to the bottom of it. It's so exciting to know that you have seen

such absolutely great results from addressing this! I will buy that

book " Dangerous Grains. " Sounds really good.

Our family and businesses are doing awesome! Thanks for asking!

You'll have to write me privately and tell me how things are going

for your husband's new business too!

As for the boys, well, , that just means that God knows you do

boys best! I didn't get my girl until the third try, and then I got

another boy the 4th time around. And I have to say, I am proud of

my boys. They are responsible, kindhearted guys. (And my girl has

been a perfect angel too.) Kids are one of God's great blessings!

I know that whatever God has planned for your growing family it is

all leading to joy and happiness! Look how far you have come!

We have a woman in our Bible study group who had 4 boys. When they

got married and started having kids, guess what...they had all boys

too! She is surrounded by the male species! Can you imagine if a

little girl comes along in that family? whew--she is going to be

one spoiled little girl!

I am so glad that you, your little boy, and your soon to be born

baby are doing so well! Thanks for staying with us and sharing your

experiences and good news !

Love,

Patty

Patty, you can ask for starters an antigliadon antibody test, if

that comes up positive ,it means your body is making antibodies to

gluten, and you at least know that you have an immune reaction and

at the very least-an intolerance to it. (although thats not enough

for most docs, they then want an invasive expensive biopsy-but the

more recent naturapths and other internests think its a sign to def

stay away) More specific to celiac, the transglutaminase Iga is more

clear for tissue damage due to gluten reaction . However, I am IGA

defeceint, meaning some people do not make IGA antibodies, so I

needed further testing.

Most people will show something on either of these two tests if

gluten intolerant or have full blown celiac disease.And the

book " dangerous Grains " is an exceptional book, esp with a chapter

on how Hashimoto's is linked as one of the most triggered disease

from gluten)

Remember, I also did the bowel testing, very integretive! Its great-

for showing the earlier signs of damage to the gut and also immune

reactions in the gut, and bowels, before some show it in thier blood

years later. It was about 250.00 for three tests, but insurancce

reimbursed me 90%. The company was www.

It showed Tylers reaction so much more than in his blood, as this is

where it starts, the gut is the biggest immune organ there is, that

the gastro did not need a biopsy to rule it in with these bowels

tests results and and also the blood. I had minimal stomach damage,

but more immune markers, and reaction, while Tyler respresented alot

of gastro issues and damage. (not to mention moodiness and ezcema,

which is gone, gone , gone)

Knowing what i know, If I had an auto immnue disease ( esp diabetes,

thyroid and RA) and or skin or respatory allergies,stomach problems,

or female problems, I would get it tested just to rule it out. 97%

of Americans are undiagnosed. Not to say all these people have it,

but just to rule it out. It has been a major step in my regained

health. I felt awesome, PAtty. Realy. I am glad to hear you are as

well. How is businesss and family?

I am getting close, but PAtty it is another boy. Sorry, if I sound

spolied, Im excited to meet him and know I will love him to death,

but I wanted a girl so badly. I am from 3 sisters and didnt know

what to do with Tyler. I always envisioned have girls. I know God

knows what he is doing, but is was so in my heart to have a girl and

be done! Now, Im afraid, if I try again, I'll have a team of boys!

Anyway, fill me in.

So you are having another boy?!? I think that's great. Now tyler

will have a brother that he will probably be close to the rest of his

life! My husband had four sisters and how he wished for a brother to

pal around with!! I know you will just love him to death. My sister

had a 2 boys and had to wait for her grandchild and now has a

grandaughter that she absolutely spoils!!! Your right, God knows what

He is doing, and who knows, if you want a third, it may be a girl.

Someone who goes to my church had 2 boys and decided to try again.

Third time she got her girl! Then 3 years later she accidentally got

pregnant and now has 2 boys and 2 girls. You just never know. What

is your due date again? I bet you are getting anxious.

OOPS!! I am replying to posts as I read them. So ignore the one

asking when the baby is due! It sounds like things are going

fantastic and I couldn't be happier for you and your precious family.

I am surprised that you only gained seven pounds. The doctor is ok

with that? He doesn't think you are hyperthyroid does he? Of

course,

I think you gain the most in the final months so hopefully you will

gain at least 10 more pounds! I know so many people who have kids

with their birthdays close to a sibling or their parent. with 365

days in a year, you would think that wouldn't happen so much! Please

tell me where you got the delicious Pizza and bread---I am dying to

know. I would love to have some great bread and pizza. Do you know

where I can buy some good mosticiolli noodles? I really miss it.

I am doing better again. Trying some new things and determined to

get

past the hump with my detox issues. God has blessed me and I truly

belive that the rest of my healing is around the corner! It is good

to to hear from you.

love

kathy
