Red face (again)


tammi22

Recommended Posts

I posted something previous to do with this, but I always get anaphylactic symptoms whenever i consume gluten (i am returning to the doctors on monday). 

However i seem to be getting it after every time i eat now. I have only been eating 1 meal a day because i'm worried about getting it during the day and being so affected in my lectures at university, however the 1 meal contains no gluten/wheat/oats, ANYTHING - no dairy either. I'm so worried about it like i've got it right now. My face went extremely blotchy last night and then cleared up when i was going to sleep - however i have felt redness and warmth on my face today. 

I also get a headache and good old (not really) Brain Fog along with this. And my eyes feel ... droopy? And a racing Heart always happens [though the extent varies, not too bad yet].

I'm getting really scared to eat at the moment. I'm wondering if it's the sugars? I've had cereal (everything free milk of course) and i dunno if that could have triggered it? I mean they're not exactly extremely high in sugar so I can't really seem to link it? This stuff is really difficult now and I'm scared the doctor won't be able to do anything- and in the meantime before finding anything about it, I'm really gonna struggle :(

It sounds like classic Histamine Intolerance.  You may want to take a look at this article, written by a doctor who has Celiac and was a contributor to this forum for a bit.

I am sorry you are suffering with this.  I have severe allergies, along with Celiac, and my little trick is hives.  I feel your pain!

Here's a  list of 14 food allergens that might be helpful.  Eisonophilic esophagitis is another issue that might fit.  It cause reactions in the throat to many foods.

tammi22,

I agree with Gemini. The link she provided is the best information I have read on the subject.

You also might look up the Niacin protocol.

It involves taking Niacin 100mg titrating it up on 100mg steps till you get up to 500mg and depleting your histamine reserves by way of the Niacin flushing that people  get  in taking Niacin in higher dosages.

If taken (niacin) with food the flushing you get is usually mitigated in 100mg amounts but will over 3 or 4 days usually deplete your histamine reserves so that the hives you are experiencing usually settles down when the histamine is flushed out with high dose niacin.

I had a friend who had a histamine allergy who when taking Niacinamide 500mg (the non flushing form of Niacin) to treat her histamine allergy got better in 3 or 4 months.

It will take 3 or 4 months of taking it (Niacinamide) 3/day to get over a B-Vitamin deficiency.  You will notice you begin burping after each meal when the Niacinamide or Niacin (once the flushing/hives are gone) when you begin burping and your stool sinks to the bottom of the bowl.

A burp that comes in the first twenty minutes will be what you notice when it (burping) begins again if you don't now burp but when you are over you deficiency you will be burping (without carbonated drinks) 2 hours after a meal and even water will cause you to burp after taking Niacinamide for 6 months 3/day.

I think you will notice by then your histamine allergy is much better.  Or at least my friends was.

Niacin regulates how histamines functions in the body.

Here is a good link that explains what modern day doctor's have forgotten about Niacin.

It natures natural antihistamine because it helps regulate adrenalin in the body.

I think of it as being able to reset your stress clock.  When we have anaphylactic reaction our "stress clock" (my words) goes haywire and we can't shut it off.

Niacin let's us diffuse that ticking time bomb by depleting our histamine reserves.

******This is not medical advice and should not be considered such but taking Niacin should flush your histamine  reserves in 3 or 4 days helping the anaphylactic reaction if it indeed a histamine reaction you are having.

Here is another link that explains how to take Niacin to deplete your histamine reserves.

I hope this is helpful.

posterboy,

 

 

if anyone actually suspects they are deficient in vitamin b3 please get tested by a doctor before taking high doses of vitamins that can cause side effects


posterboy,
i don't know how you find all these suspicious "doctor" websites, i guess anyone can create a website, call themselves a doctor and give unreliable medical advice. it might be helpful for you to research pseudoscience in medicine so you can tell which website are making up miracle cures and scamming people.


Doctor Andrew Saul from that doctoryourself.com website has a phD human Ethology that hardly qualifies him to be giving medical or nutritional advice.

Dr. Reuben T. DeHaan is a naturopath not a medical doctor. just skimming through Open Original Shared Link not only is it full of crazy claims like "every illness is curable" some of the advice sounds dangerous.  he's against vaccinations, belives in inducing fevers, fasting while sick, coffee enemas, advising against mammograms. he promotes allergy testing by checking your pulse, ph testing, thinks milk is toxic, microwaves dangers. clearly every word of his blog is false

i doubt theres any real connection between Niacin and histamines functions if these are the kinds of doctors making those claims

      plant sources of calcium, such as spinach, have calcium bound to oxalates, which is not good. best source of calcium is unfortunately dairy, do you tolerate dairy? fermented dairy like kefir is good and or a little hard cheese. i do eat dairy, i can only take so much dietary restriction and gluten is hard enough! but i guess some people do have bad reactions to it, so different for everyone.

      i take b12, folate, b2, b6, glycine, Nac, zinc, vk2 mk4, magnesium, coq10, pqq, tmg, creatine, omega 3, molybdnem (sp) and just started vit d. quite a list i know.  I have high homocysteine (last checked it was 19, but is always high and i finally decided to do something about it) and very low vitamin d, 10. have been opposed to this supp in the past, but going to try it at 5k units a day. having a pth test on friday, which is suspect will be high. my homocysteine has come down to around 9 with 3 weeks of these supplements and expect it to go down further. i also started on estrogen/progesterone. I have osteoporosis too, so that is why the hormones.  anyway, i think all celiacs should have homocysteine checked and treated if needed (easy enough with b vit, tmg). homocysteine very bad thing to be high for a whole host of reasons. all the bad ones, heart attack , stroke, alzi, cancer..... one of the most annoying things about celiacs (and there are so many!) is the weight gain. i guess i stayed thin all those years being undiagnosed because i was under absorbing everything including calories. going gluten-free and the weight gain has been terrible, 30#, but i'm sure a lot more went into that (hip replacement - and years of hip pain leading to inactivity when i was previously very active, probably all related to celiacs, menopause) yada yada. i seemed to lose appetite control, like there was low glp, or leptin or whatever all those hormones are that tell you that you are full and to stop eating. my appetite is immense and i'm never full. i guess decades or more ( i think i have had celiacs since at least my teens - was hospitalized for abdominal pain and diarrhea for which spastic colon was eventually diagnosed and had many episodes of diarrhea/abdominal pain through my 20's. but that symptom seemed to go away and i related it to dairy much more so than gluten. Also my growth was stunted, i'm the only shorty in my family. anyway, decades of malabsorption and maldigestion led to constant hunger, at least thats my theory. then when i started absorbing normally, wham!! FAT!!!

      Great advise there I agree with the aniexty part, and the aura migraine has I suffer both, I've also read some great books that have helped I'm going too look the one you mentioned up too thankyou for that, I find a camomile tea just a small one and a gentle wind down before bed has helped me too, I suffer from restless leg syndrome and nerve pain hence I don't always sleep well at the best of times , racing mind catches up I have decorated my whole house in one night in my mind before 🤣 diet changes mindset really help , although I have to say it never just disappears, I find once I came to terms with who I am I managed a lot better  , a misconception is for many to change , that means to heal but that's not always the case , understanding and finding your coping mechanisms are vital tools , it's more productive to find that because there is no failure then no pressure to become something else , it's ok to be sad it's ok to not sleep , it's ok to worry , just try to see it has a journey not a task 🤗

      I agree there I've tryed this myself to prove I can't eat gluten or lactose and it sets me back for about a month till I have to go back to being very strict to settle again

      You may also need to supplement with B12 as this vitamin is also involved in iron assimilation and is often deficient in long-term undiagnosed celiac disease.
