The Pocono area ducked the flu this winter, but we didn’t get off scot-free.

The region is seeing a rash of nasty stomach viruses — the kind that keep you close to home.

Cases of the stomach bug have more than tripled locally, said Dr. Susheer Gandotra, medical director of infectious diseases at Pocono Medical Center, East Stroudsburg.

Also known as gastroenteritis, it’s an inflammation of the intestines. the culprit is typically a norovirus, the most common food-borne illness in the United States, according to Stroudsburg gastroenterologist Dr. Charles Cohan.

Symptoms usually include nausea and vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhea. Low-grade fevers sometime occur.

“Nausea and vomiting is first to go away, followed by abdominal pain, which resolves second. Diarrhea is third — it usually goes away in five days,” Cohan said.

For most healthy people with properly functioning immune systems, the virus is hardly ever dangerous.

“The overwhelming majority of cases resolve without treatment whatsoever,” Cohan said. “Keep yourself hydrated. the best formula is water with sugar and electrolytes or sports drinks like Gatorade.”

Noroviruses are highly contagious, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. the illness usually is over in 24 to 48 hours, but people can still feel run down for a few days after.

“The danger is major dehydration,” said Dr. Jeff Jahre, section chief of infectious diseases at St. Luke’s University Health Network.

Between 80 and 90 percent of stomach bugs are viral in origin, not bacterial, according to Cohan.

“Assuming the person’s immune system is intact, your immune system will overcome the virus and you typically will get better,” he said.

At greatest risk are young children, the elderly and people who are already sick. “They are more prone to get dehydrated,” Gandotra said.

In a separate report released last week, the CDC said noroviruses are more deadly than previously realized. the report says that, on average, they were linked to 800 deaths a year in the U.S., but deaths also doubled in years where new strains emerged. the study looked at gastroenteritis-related deaths from 1999 to 2007 and showed that noroviruses ranked second among the causes.

“Our findings highlight the need for effective measures to prevent, diagnose and manage gastroenteritis,” said lead researcher Aron Hall.

Noroviruses can spread through contaminated food or water and by touching contaminated surfaces, the CDC says.

Contamination occurs, Jahre said, through what health officials politely call the “fecal-oral route,” meaning it’s likely spread first by someone who did not wash his hands after using the bathroom or after vomiting.

In addition, people who have been sick remain contagious for three days to two weeks, the CDC said, so being vigilant is important to stop the spread of the illness.

Gandotra said the outbreak will probably last another few weeks, but it’s impossible to say for sure.

If there is a bright spot, he added, it’s what the illness is not — the flu. Influenza, a much more serious and often deadly virus, has been “virtually non-existent” this year, Jahre said.

Laboratory-confirmed cases of influenza in Pennsylvania fell 96 percent this winter, from 9,851 last year to 367 this year.

Monroe County had four cases positively identified as influenza this year compared with 130 last year — a 97 percent drop. Pike reported an 81 percent drop, from 16 a year ago to three this year.

Successfully used Takara detox foot patches to treat horrible TMJ pain. Nothing else helped for YEARS, including Dr's, drugs, etc. I put the patches straight on my face and the back of my neck and they have cured my TMJ pain. They used to turn black, but they are not as much now. I decided to use them to detox my colon because, after years of having Crohn's, I figured the build up of toxins should go. I put one patch on the bottom of my right foot on the meridian corresponding with the colon/intestines. I had not had Crohn's symptoms in MONTHS, not even pain. Within FOUR hours of putting that patch on my foot, I was doubled over with Crohn's pain right in the spot where it always is. I figured the patch was working, so I stupidly left it on for 4 more hours. I was sick for a week. I waited 2 weeks; tried again. I bought a less potent brand of patch and put it on for 4 hours. I had the same pain reaction, so I took it off. I didn't want to get sick. Why is this happening?

A Few Details About Pancreas…

An organ that creates the insulin hormone necessary to regulate blood sugar levels. It can make pancreatic juices, and it produces a number of hormones, such as insulin. The pancreas is surrounded by the tummy, intestines, as well as other organs.

A unique type of cancer (referred to as ampullary cancer) can start where the bile duct (from the liver) and the pancreatic duct empty in to the small intestine. The remaining 5% contain adenosquamous carcinomas, signet ring cell carcinomas, hepatoid carcinomas, colloid carcinomas, undifferentiated carcinomas, and undifferentiated carcinomas with osteoclast-like giant cells. Discovering it early means the chances of productive remedy are far better. Considerably less typical forms of pancreatic cancer contain islet cell carcinoma, pancreatic blastoma, and pseudopapillary neoplasms.

Cancer location connected signs and symptoms

The preliminary presentation varies according to location from the cancer. by the time it is big enough to trigger signs and symptoms, pancreatic cancer has normally grown outdoors the pancreas. in contrast, tumors that arise in the physique or tail are much less most likely to trigger jaundice and far more frequently cause stomach pain, weight loss, and diarrhea. Pancreatic cancer inside the body or tail from the pancreas generally triggers stomach discomfort and weight loss. Tiredness, irritability and problems consuming due to discomfort also exist. Pancreatic cancer is usually found out throughout the course with the evaluation of aforementioned symptoms.

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye (and countless food products like pasta that contain those grains). STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Celiac disease represents just one extreme of a broad spectrum of gluten intolerance
• People with gluten sensitivity generally have stomachaches, gas, and diarrhea
• But careful, there’s nothing inherently healthier about a gluten-free diet

(Health.com) — Sarah Cooper was a new mom in her mid-20s, busily juggling her family and a career as an electrical engineer, when everything came to a halt.

She lost all her energy. She developed acne. And she began experiencing gastrointestinal problems: bloating, diarrhea, cramping, constipation. her doctors, thinking something must be missing from her diet, put her on various vitamins, none of which helped.

"it was all I could do to go to work," she says.

After years of failed treatments, Cooper’s luck changed. She saw a doctor who suspected she might have celiac disease, an autoimmune disorder that can appear at any age and is caused by an intolerance to gluten.

A protein found in wheat, barley, and rye (and countless food products — like bread and pasta — that contain those grains), gluten gradually damages the intestines of people with celiac disease, preventing the absorption of vitamins and minerals and setting off a slew of related health problems, which can include fatigue and bad skin.

Cooper tested negative for celiac disease, but the doctor advised her to try a gluten-free diet anyway.

"within a week of eliminating [gluten], I started to feel markedly better," says Cooper, now 36, from Melbourne, Australia. "it wasn’t a gradual feeling better; it was almost a crossing-the-street kind of thing."

That was 10 years ago. The general practitioner who treated Cooper was ahead of his time, as most doctors are only now starting to realize that some people who don’t have celiac disease may benefit from diets free of (or low in) gluten.

In fact, experts now believe that celiac disease represents just one extreme of a broad spectrum of gluten intolerance that includes millions of people like Cooper with less severe — but nevertheless problematic — reactions to the protein.

While celiac disease affects about 1 percent of the U.S. population, experts estimate that as many as 10 percent have a related and poorly understood condition known as non-celiac gluten intolerance (NCGI), or gluten sensitivity.

Gluten-free and well-fed: the sneaky stuff

"this is something that we’re just beginning to get our heads around," says Daniel Leffler, M.D., an assistant professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School and a gastroenterologist at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, in Boston. "There is a tight definition of celiac disease, but gluten intolerance has been a moving target."

Health.com: do gluten-free diets take off pounds?

Growing awareness of gluten sensitivity has led some people who struggle with gut problems but have tested negative for celiac disease to take matters into their own hands and try a gluten-free diet, even though it’s an extremely difficult diet to follow.

Sales of gluten-free products increased 16 percent in 2010, according to the Nielsen Company.

"Gluten is fairly indigestable in all people," Leffler says. "There’s probably some kind of gluten intolerance in all of us."

The spectrum of gluten intolerance

Experts now think of gluten intolerance as a spectrum of conditions, with celiac disease on one end and, on the other, what’s been called a "no man’s land" of gluten-related gastrointestinal problems that may or may not overlap.

Leffler estimates, for instance, that half of the approximately 60 million people in the U.S. who suffer from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are probably sensitive to gluten. (Gluten allergies, which are similar to other food allergies, also fall on the spectrum but affect only about 0.1 percent of the population.)

Gluten-free and well-fed: when did G-free get all…sexy?

Gluten intolerance of any kind — including celiac disease — is often underdiagnosed (or misdiagnosed) because it manifests itself in many and murky ways that can baffle doctors.

People with celiac disease and gluten sensitivity usually have stomachaches, gas, and diarrhea — as do people with IBS.

Celiac patients can also develop headaches, tingling, fatigue, muscle pain, skin rashes, joint pain, and other symptoms, because the autoimmune attack at the root of the disease gradually erodes the wall of the intestine, leading to poor absorption of iron, folate, and other nutrients that affect everything from energy to brain function.

People with gluten sensitivity sometimes experience these far-reaching symptoms as well, though it’s less clear why.

Gluten intolerance "starts in the intestines as a process, but doesn’t necessarily stay in the intestines. it may affect other organs," says Alessio Fasano, M.D., medical director of the University of Maryland Center for Celiac Research, in Baltimore.

Celiac disease can be definitively diagnosed using a two-step process: Doctors test the patient’s blood for the presence of intestine-attacking antibodies activated by gluten, and, if those tests come back positive, they order a biopsy (or series of biopsies) to look for intestinal damage, any evidence of which confirms the diagnosis.

Health.com: Medical tests women need this year

Gluten sensitivity, on the other hand, is a gray area that "lacks any defining medical tests," Leffler says. People who fall into this group exhibit the classic symptoms of celiac disease yet have no detectable intestinal damage, and test negative for certain key antibodies (though in some cases they may have elevated levels of others).

Gluten sensitivity is a kind of "non-diagnosis," in other words — a diagnosis by default for those who don’t have celiac disease but feel better on a gluten-free diet.

A recent study by Fasano and his colleagues offers some clues about what gluten sensitivity is, and how it differs from celiac disease. Although they show no signs of erosion or other damage, the study found, the intestines of gluten-sensitive patients contain proteins that contribute to a harmful immune response, one that resembles — but is distinct from — the process underlying celiac disease.

Blood tests that can diagnose gluten sensitivity by measuring these and other proteins are in the works, but they are still a ways off.

"The reason we don’t have tests yet is mainly because we don’t have a clear definition of [gluten sensitivity]," Fasano explains.

How much gluten is OK?

People with celiac disease must commit to an absolutely gluten-free diet, as eating the protein can, over time, increase a person’s risk of osteoporosis, infertility, and certain cancers, in addition to worsening short-term symptoms.

"You’re going to be on this diet for life, and it has to be extremely strict. even crumbs can turn on the autoimmune process typical of celiac disease," Fasano says. "If you make a mistake with celiac disease, you pay the price on the spot, but there can be a cumulative price, too."

Recommendations for people with gluten sensitivity aren’t as clear-cut. unlike celiac disease, gluten sensitivity hasn’t been linked to intestine damage and long-term health problems, so some experts say that people on the less severe end of the spectrum should feel comfortable eating as much gluten as they can handle without feeling sick.

"some people can be exquisitely sensitive and have to be as strict as people with celiac disease, while others can eat a pizza," Fasano says.

The impact that gluten can have on those without celiac disease was illustrated by a recent study in Australia.

When gluten-sensitive people were asked to eat bread and muffins every day that, unbeknownst to them, had been laced with gluten, 68 percent saw all their old symptoms come back rapidly, compared with 40 percent in a similar group that ate only gluten-free products.

"People complained that they felt like they were pregnant, had gut pain…and tiredness increased," says the lead researcher, Jessica Biesiekierski, a Ph.D. candidate at Monash University Department of Medicine and Gastroenterology.

Sarah Cooper participated in the study and felt like she had been "hit by a bus" after the first day of gluten snacks. her symptoms got so bad that she had to drop out halfway through the six-week study.

People with gluten sensitivity who don’t respond this way aren’t necessarily in the clear, however. Experts like Marlisa Brown, a registered dietitian in private practice in Long Island, N.Y., and the author of "Gluten-Free, Hassle-Free," worry that gluten could have long-term negative consequences that just haven’t been identified yet.

Even if you feel better, "definitely don’t try to add it back in," she urges. Brown counts herself among the gluten sensitive.

After enduring sinus infections, hair loss, sensitive skin, and fatigue since she was a little girl, and despite a negative celiac-disease test in her 20s (which she thinks may not have been thorough enough), Brown finally cut out gluten in her late 40s.

"I felt better in a week," she says.

Gluten-free doesn’t equal healthy

If you suspect your body can’t tolerate gluten, the first thing you should do is get tested for celiac disease. If the test comes back negative, try a gluten-free diet for a week to see if you feel better, Leffler says.

Cutting out gluten is the most reliable way to determine if you are, in fact, sensitive to the protein — and if you are sensitive, it’s the only treatment.

However, Leffler stresses that you should get help from a dietitian to make sure that you avoid hidden sources of gluten (like soy sauce and salad dressing), and that you don’t miss out on the vitamins that wheat products provide.

Even though celebrities like Oprah Winfrey and Gwyneth Paltrow have reportedly cut out gluten to "detox," there’s nothing inherently healthier about a gluten-free diet.

"it can be very healthy, or it can be junk food," says Dee Sandquist, a registered dietitian and spokesperson for the American Dietetic Association.

Health.com: Best and worst advice from top diet plans

Some of the many gluten-free products on the market can be unhealthy, Fasano says, because manufacturers add extra sugar and fat to simulate the texture and satisfying fluffiness that gluten imparts.

Another potential pitfall is that gluten-free products are less routinely fortified with iron and vitamins B and D than regular bread products, Sandquist says.

"Vitamins B and D are the ones particularly at risk of being deficient in [gluten-sensitive] people."

If you plan to go gluten free, select more fruits, vegetables, and lean meat, and more naturally gluten-free grains like brown rice, quinoa, and buckwheat, rather than just buying prepackaged products labeled "gluten free," Sandquist says.

She adds, however, that gluten-free products are "evolving" and may become healthier overall as manufacturers develop ways to fortify them.

VETS are urging dog owners to vaccinate their pets after a surge in cases of parvovirus across the north.

Clinics at Elizabeth, Paralowie and Smithfield said cases of the potentially deadly disease had risen sharply in the past six weeks.

Dr Michelle Starr, of the Smithfield Veterinary Clinic, said the virus was generally more prevalent in summer, perhaps because more people were out and about with their dogs.

Dr Gary Stevens, of the Elizabeth Park Veterinary Clinic, said the clinic was diagnosing three or four dogs a day with the virus, compared with the usual one dog every two to three weeks.

Parvovirus is a potentially deadly virus that attacks a dog’s stomach and intestines. Symptoms include vomiting, diarrhoea, lethargy and loss of appetite.

The highly contagious virus can live outside the body for up to three years and is passed on by a dog’s hair, paws and faeces.

“Even dog owners can transmit the virus by stepping on the pawprint of an infected dog,” Dr Stevens said.

“the bottom line is you have to vaccinate your dogs. if you don’t, it is a significant risk.”

Puppies should be vaccinated at six to 14 weeks and then again each year.

Up to 300 dogs died in the northern suburbs in 2005, the last time there was a major outbreak of the virus.

Whilst there is always an ongoing search to try and stop colitis symptoms some sufferers appear keen to go to some very extreme lengths to try and reduce or even eradicate the amount of symptoms that they are enduring.

Would you happily ingest worms? Now, the intestines alteady have worms and there job is to contirubute to the health of the gut. but it has recently been reported that a 35-year-old man with severe colitis who tried worm (or “helminthic”) therapy to avoid surgical removal of his entire colon. he researched the therapy, flew to a doctor in Thailand who had agreed to give him the eggs, and swallowed 1,500 of them.

The man contacted an intestinal consultant after his self-treatment and “was essentially symptom-free,” it was reported. Intrigued, the consultant and his colleagues decided to follow the man’s condition.

The study analysed slides and samples of the man’s blood and colon tissue from 2003, before he swallowed the eggs, to 2009, a few years after ingestion. During this period, he was virtually symptom-free for almost three years. when his colitis flared in 2008, he swallowed another 2,000 eggs and got better again.

Tissue taken during active colitis showed a large number of CD4+ T-cells, which are immune cells that produce the inflammatory protein interleukin-17, the team found. However, tissue taken after worm therapy, when his colitis was in remission, contained lots of T-cells that make interleukin-22 (IL-22), a protein that promotes wound healing.

Further, after worm therapy, the man’s colon produced significantly more mucus, said Loke, who noted that a lack of mucus in the colon is linked with severe symptoms. “we think the worms increase or restore mucus production in the colon,” he said. “Basically, the gut is trying to expel the worms. this increase in mucus may play a role in relieving the symptoms.”

Who would undertake such means to try and reduce the impact colitis symptoms have on their life? or are you content with taking anti inflammatories and steriods when the condition flares up? maybe at some point in the future you could well have a choice!
