Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results. -

Allegra is an antihistamine. Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods. Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our...- 1

Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else? -

Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look. And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take...- 2

Hi Thanks for answering so quickly. Not sure about any other blood tests, all I have is a copy of what my daughter sent to me. Hopefully she’ll get the biopsy soon cos she’s really anxious about the whole thing, but she tends to have a lot of anxiety anyway and has done for a long time

Allegra is an antihistamine. Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful. Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods. Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food. Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation. Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily. Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels. Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat. We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria. We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them. The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish. Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO. Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems. -

Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look. And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that). Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip! -
