It takes time and a lot of learning. Watch for sheet rock dust and spackle, glues and paints they too may contain gluten.Worse comes to worse go to a third world country and eat naturally and see how good you will feel -- Good luck!<br/><br/>

If you like the wet feel rather than dry powder-mix with peroxide for a real cleaning. I am still working on a solution for soap-body, hair and laundry<br/><br/>

If you google the words 'fluoride adverse effects' you'll be amazed. A while back, I started to suspect it might be a problem for me, and sure enough, after avoiding it my MCS symptoms vastly improved. Also, don't eat or use ANYTHING topically that has artificial color as part of its ingredients. For me, food coloring/dyes are a true poison. I suggest you research dyes, as many of them contain gluten, AND many of them are derived from petrochemicals (probably the biggest antagonist to those with MCS). Hope this helps!<br/><br/>

I have spent the last year on an elimination diet after ending up in the ER due to a bad reaction to a thyroid med.  I had blood work for food allergies & we mostly focused on those.  Then when the nutritionist could no longer help me I was referred to an allergist where I thought I would have further testing then get cured by having allergy shots.  My allergist who also specializes in autoimmune disorders, pediatrics and environmental illnesses took one look at me and said I was celiac. Which did come up as an allergy in the blood work and a reactor when reintroduced into my diet. Apparently I have been celiac for over 30 years and due to the damage to my villi I am suffering close to malabsorption at the moment along with severe chemical sensitivity.  I have been feeling quite blue and isolated. Somewhat of an outcast.  A friend suggested I check out blogs and this is the site I found.  Big help - I am not alone after all!!  and it sounds like the doctor is right on track with his findings.  Thanks so much to everyone for sharing!!!<br/><br/>

I was diagnosed with MCS at the Environmental Health Clinic at Women's College in 2002.

I have low iron levels, haemoglobin and ferritin levels, which they say, leaves me with very little bone marrow.

Does anyone have information on MCS-heme and celiac?

Worse I have allergic reactions to a whole slue of solvents and chemicals. I was diagnosed as the cause of my work with solvents unprotected for 16,000 hours or more (8 years). During that time is when my stomach started tearing me apart and ever since. What I have learned is chemicals can cause leaky gut syndrome. So your Celiac Disease was probably caused by chemical exposures in the first place. I was diagnosed with MCS in 1996 and MS more recently. My little sister has Addison Disease and she thinks she has this Celiac Disease also. Anyone try to figure out what would cause your sillia or whatever it is called in your stomach lining to get destroyed in the first place? Dr. Sherry A. Rogers found that chemical exposures cause a whole slue of diseases. The reason you have any allergies in the first place is because your liver and filtering system is already overtaxed. Dr. Rogers calls it total body load and she says you need to detox. My little sister is taking Natural Cellular Defense and she says that helps her. Your damage to your stomach and intestinal track is just another symptom of chemicals you are eating, drinking and breathing leeching down into your digestive system and wiping it out. Contrary to what the Pharmaceutical and Chemical Company propaganda is preaching concerning MCS and teaching using research from frauds like Dr. Ronald Gots, Steven Barrett, and "American Council on Science and Health" or "ACSH" and etc. You have been chemically damaged and they are trying to hide it with blaming it on the resulting diseases that the chemicals cause. Which is a whole slue of auto-immune diseases. I would not doubt that they are behind this whole website to throw you all off track in the first place. Even the food manufacturers are behind the false propaganda of MCS. Even Dr. Odell on the Radio. The research has been out their since the 90's to prove chemicals cause MCS. MS is also suspected as chemicals for the cause. I looked in a old hazardous handling volume (1974) from a local library in 1995 - 96 and it says over exposure causes chemical sensitivity. That was one of the symptoms and they knew that since the 50's. In one of my court cases I brought that out and those Volumes disappeared from that library ever since. You could not even check those out so they where either stolen or they got the library to destroy them in Pleasant Hill California. Do not let these propaganda's fool you people. Yea you may feel better but you are still with MCS. You are only treating one more of the symptoms of chemical damage. Their are a whole slue of autoimmune disease caused by chemicals and it is being hidden from the general public by those large industries. Death is very valuable to those industries. Drug are used to treat your symptoms. That is multi-billions a year. Medical doctors get rich treating your symptoms and again that is Multi-billions of dollars a year. Food manufacturers substitute the real thing with cheap chemicals and that saves them multi-billions of dollars a year. Bill Moyer's did a PBS report on Trade Secrets and found memo's showing the chemical industries are considering themselves at war with the general public which is why the giant propaganda machine is going now. Do not let them sidetrack you from the truth! Chemicals are the culprit here and of other places and symptoms!

Take Care, Sincerely,
Joe Hawkins<br/><br/>

I decided that I was allergic to doctors 10 years ago. I lost the use of my legs, was put on one medication and then another, from one doctor to another. There is not one doctor in my town that treats or understands MCS. I have done all I can do but have lost over 20 lbs. and feel like I'm starving, I have become so weak and I'm short of breath just doing simple things. Ive don't know how I never came across this site before.. Thank you all so much. So after 10 years Ive gone to a gastro doc. blood test done today endoscope in 2 weeks..but ...but..he also ordered a gastro emptying study...I didn't know what it was. So I love the Internet..I have to ingest a radioactive substance...so it scares me, I can't even tolerate Advil. What do you think? Has anyone Done this?<br/><br/>

My doctor diagnosed me with MCS/CS over 20 years ago.  Eat organic, drink (commercial grade) water, wear organic if possible (do not wear clothes from China and India especially), and keep a daily log of what you do and how you feel.  Medications have coatings and man-made dyes = stay away from them!  Look for a good allergist who is familiar with MCS/CS/IEI (CIIN has a list).  Lots of doctors still think there is no such thing as MCS.  Even with 9/11, Vets of Viet Nam and the Gulf Wars, etc. You are not crazy.  There are doctors who know what this is and can help.  Watch out for the quacks, doctors who want to Rx a lot of drugs, etc.  Do breathing exercises, carry a filtering mask (one that is for chemicals) with you at all times and drink lots of filtered or filtered distilled water.  Chemical companies, pharmacuticals, and manufacturing firms do not want you to know what is in all the stuff you consume and use.  Best wishes to you all.  You are not alone.  Over 9% of the US population have diagnosed Chemical Sensitivity!  And there are thousands who do not realize that they too are sensitive to their environment.<br/><br/>
