^ wow I'm sorry you have so many dietary issues.

Thanks. Yes, it's not fun. It's all due to this immune deficiency called Selective Iga Deficiency. I've had it since birth. I had GI issues as a newborn. They even tested me for cystic fibrosis when I was only six months old because of the symptoms. Thankfully, I didn't have that. I didn't find out I had the immune deficiency until years later, though. Before that, they just classified it as severely sensitive GI tract caused by food allergies. That was technically right but they didn't realize the exact reason for that, the IgA Deficiency, until later.
Anyway, I definitely have to watch what I eat. I just get sick with anything that raises my blood sugar. Due to the lack of IgA (I have 0 IgA) it causes the GI issues since you need Immunoglobin A for your GI tract, especially. As a result, I have to eat things that do not cause as many upsets. The easier things are to break down, the better, in other words. Alternative medicine really has been a miracle for me. Also, sports and exercise helped me as well. I think being so physically fit helped my immunity. I know I was a million times healthier when I was into exercising. It really is an important part. What kind of exercise do you do? Swimming is a great option for fitness. It's fun, too. It beats pounding the pavement in the heat. |

It's 4 AM here. We're currently being nailed with a severe thunderstorm warning... sirens woke me up, strong winds, severe hail. I've decided to work from home today. Most people who have to get to work around this time, certainly have to wait this out. Going on the roads right now would be stupid and dangerous. What is everyone up to this weekend? |

Well I finally had to give in and go to the walk-in clinic y'day to get some antibiotics for the UTI. Feeling quite a bit better today, still not 100% (like, when am I ever? :lol:) but I can definitely tell that the A/Bs are fighting the infection now instead of my own immune system. Huge difference.
Hubby and the boys are canoeing today. :) Dana and I will head out to the grocery store here in a bit. I've been paying bills. Big fun. :lol: We should be going to SIL's tomorrow evening but I haven't called her yet to confirm. Hubby's got to go work in his mom's garden tomorrow morning. Hopefully Jacob will get up in time to go with him, he loves gardening. |
Taryn, that's good that you got the antibiotics! You do not want to fool around with lingering UTIs because when it works its way up to the kidney, that can be severe. Good that you got antibiotics to prevent that! :)
Gardening... that sounds like fun! Are you cultivating plants only or are fruits and vegetables involved? |
Thanks for the new thread!
Taryn I hope that UTI will help you. I had the exam today. It looks fine, but just in case they want to check how my kidneys work so I have to gather urine for 24 hours and then give it for labs. And I have to continue with the medication that I had now. Only after two days I stop one of the pills. As for the weekend not big plans. I will just go to watch our volleyball games against Argentina in the hall. So I guess I will be in crowded places. I hope that our team will win. |
