HUGE improvement post breast-implant removal


The Donger

Recommended Posts

Hi,

My mother says gluten never really agreed with her stomach (just slightly) then around age 50 she started to lose weight and hair. Finally she was diagnosed and avoided gluten and her life got back to 'normal'. Now, at age 67 or so, it has progressed to where if she eats a spec of gluten or washes her hair etc. with a contaminated product she looks 9-months pregnant within about 10 minutes and has excruciating pain that takes days to go away and requires an epi-pen in many cases. She had breast implants removed recently and has since had almost no allergic 'attacks' but still tries to avoid gluten. Before, she would still have one about every week due to changing food ingredients, a moment of weakness or whatever. Now, basically living the same as before she has had maybe 3-4 attacks in the last 5-6 months after having them out. Meanwhile, my wife got implants about 7 years ago and at age 42 now she is noticing that she can't eat bread, pasta, etc. or her stomach swells and her joints get achy. I read and many women have experienced this same phenomenon (either the timing of getting implants or having them removed and improving dramatically). SO, has anyone experienced this or heard stories? Pretty interesting and worth looking into.

      Hi Scott, yes I have had symptoms for years and this is the second GI I have seen and he could not believe I have never been tested. He called later today and I am scheduled for an endoscopy. Is there a way to tell how severe my potential celiac is from the results above? What are the chances I will have the biopsy and come back negative and we have to keep searching for a cause?

      I agree christina, there is definitely many contributing factors! I have the pain today, my pelvis, hips and thighs ache! No idea why. But i have been sitting at work for 3 days so im thinking its my back. This disease is very mysterious (and frustrating) but not always to blame for every pain.

      "her stool study showed she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that." The wording of this part of the sentence does not make any sense at all. I don't mean to insult you, but is English your first language? This part of the sentence sounds like it was generated by translation software.

      What kind of stool test was done? Can you be more specific? 
    • mishyj
      Perhaps I should also have said that in addition to showing a very high response to gluten, her stool study showed that she had extreme reactions to everything achievement on it long course of microbials to treat that.
