Hi,
Summary of responses to (1) above:
Last fall I was on an inhalant, but my Mayo doctor told me to not just
rinse my mouth after inhaling, but to brush my teeth and rinse with
mouthwash (I use Mint Listerine). He said in our case (cd) we have to use
something stronger than water to rinse to prevent thrush. My son is a
ph.d. in chemistry and said Listerine swished in your mouth for 30 seconds
will kill any bacteria. [I had my allergy doctor's nurse mark my file
regarding this today.]
I have had a lot of thrush. Don't worry about the swish and swallow
med. It is just to replace the natural flora that has been destroyed by
the inhaler. It is not an antibiotic. Also, anyone can get thrush, not
just people with immune problems. Med. never hurts my stomach in the
least. [I just checked. The swish and swallow I'm using is Nystatin.
It is not an aitibiotic as I previously stated, but rather an anti-
fungal. Sorry for the confusion. And, for any of you wondering, thrush
can spread so got to watch those kisses for a while !!!]
Summary of responses to (2) above:
Again, several people think this joint pain is a sign of accidental gluten
ingestion. That's their explanation for the "come and go" of it. One
described it as carpal-tunnel-like symptoms. [I know there was a post a
few days ago about how the gluten does not build up in the system, hence
those rapid onset bouts with diarrhea. And I've read posts that say it
does build up, especially in joints. Well, then I don't get it. I'm going
to discuss this again with the neurologist I go to for my migraines to
attempt to rule out anything else, and re-read the archives on joint
pain. I'm consider going out-of-state for at least a yearly consult with a
CD expert. Suggestions from anyone who has done this are welcomed. Also,
any comments from anyone on whether these nasty antibodies actually deposit
themselves in our joints, causing these pains? If so, please point me in
the direction of a website or article or book that discusses it.]
