All the symptoms, not diagnosed

Gnalif · December 15, 2017

The first symptoms I noticed were giant hives on feet, palms, scalp, and down spine, that would leave extremely painful areas after disappearing. The were preceded by a metallic taste in the mouth. dermatitis herpetiformis on both arms and ankles. heart palpitations, foot drop, numb hands, hemorrhoids, pain in cecum area, the usual stool problems with extremes of both. Severe pain in all my broken bones and old injuries. Eye twitching. I did an elimination diet starting with gluten. Angioedema went away immediately, but other problems persisted. Cut out all grains soy and dairy, and other symptoms went away except for dh. Cut out canola and the dh. went away. Then i bought some store meat, fresh cuts, because I ran out of my homegrown meat, the dh came back, along with the nerve problems, so I quit eating meat until I got a pig back from the butcher. Tied that meat and the dh and nerve symptoms returned again. Note all along I was eating organic produce from my own garden, other than in winter. Went vegeterian over the summer and felt great, untill winter hit and I was forced to by food from the store. All symptoms except for the angioedem returned. This is my third winter gluten free, and I'm down to eating locally bout organic potates, organic kale from the store, bananas and avocadoes. Dh is less severe, but the stomach problems, cecum pain, and nerve issues have returned and gotten worse. I literally eat the same thing every day. I cant get tested because I am self employed and cant afford insurance, ineligible for medicare/medicaid. 33 year old male, feel like Im going on sixty. Thinking I might have to move to a country where I can grow organic produce all year around, or I might die. My wife also started having the same symptoms, but much less severe, about 6 months after me. We were buying high gluten organic wheat flour from the co op and baking our own bread before all this started. We think that might have been the trigger. Anyone have a situatiion like this.? As far as possible contamination I think its in the air in the store? I drink organic coffee, black. No spices or seasonings, no sugar, literally potatoes, kale , bananas and avocadoes. I don't know what else to cut out. I'm down to 140 pounds.

Wow! I am sorry that you are so sick! I realize gluten may be an issue for you, but perhaps you might have issues with Lyme Disease? I read that ticks can cause a meat issue. Research Mast Cell Activation Disorder too since you struggled with swelling and hives.

Let’s hope someone else has some suggestions.

I wish you well!
