Hi Brooke Quick question--saw your list of items-plants, food etc that are toxic to animals. Would it be ok if I copy this info (with credit to you) for our site to assist readers? Also, on a personal level, has anyone yet tested you for Helicobacter Pylori? It's a simple blood test that is used to diagnose and if positive for H-pylori, is easily treated with antibiotics. VERY commonly exists in people with suspected ulcers/heartburn etc yet fairly-though not very- new discovery, so some docs don't always think of testing for it. (I work in a doctor's office and see many of these come back positive, with patient's so relieved to finally resolve their ongoing discomfort issues ;D). Just a thought :-) Let me know about using the list if it's ok? Take care Chris

I don't have a problem with it if you want to copy the info or even link it to the page would be great. I would like credit for it...it took me hours to put that list together. My husband was very irritated with as much time as I was putting into it Not to mention it drives him crazy because I'm always yelling at him for feeding scraps (which I hate anyway because they beg because of it) of things that are on the list. Thank you for asking about the test! I really appreciate the concern. I actually have been tested and it came back negative from what the military said anyway. I actually have been hoping every test and proceedure they have done that we at least came up with a diagnosis or a reason why this was happening at the very least, even if it was bad. They did a cat scan on me once and they told me they thought I had a tumor in my brain. That was hard but in a sense it brought a little relief, it ended up being a shadow or something which was really irritating...I ended up graduating early with just an associates degree and not going on because I was just worn out. It's hardest not just knowing among all things because for instance when I was working they fought me tooth and toenail about time I had to take off even at doctors written orders. Employers aren't very sympathetic when you don't have a diagnosis. I was really REALLY sick for a long time and now I'm to a point were I can at least live pretty normal with it. The doctors are just as confused as I am.

I will absolutely give you credit as I certainly realize the amount of work that went into something like this. I'll incl a link to the forum as well with the credits. Sorry to hear no diagnosis as yet. I very well understand the challenges of living with chronic medical issues with no "dignity of a diagnosis". Keep your chin up and know that others care, for what it's worth. Take care Chris
