Hi Trents

By the cells attacking foreign invaders they are trying to keep the blood clean, it’s how you look at it really. I absolutely can relate to this article with what happened to me and I believe  too much acid in our bodies through diet has become/is becoming  a MAJOR problem with many of our health issues today. Less acids more Alkaline = healthier body, less disease.

Ps. I never had to take any alkalising supplements I got well by avoiding food/ drinks with high acids in or things that made me acidic when ingested, which then increased my histamine levels. In many, many cases of some illnesses  the right dietry advice is all that is needed to get our bodies back to good health, not medication which can add in some cases more health problems, in my case especially  it was making me more acidic because of the Lactose. Some people will never change their diet so that is where medication will help them along the way.

In the context to the article you quote, the "cleaning" effect the author ascribes to white blood cells is referring to removing acids. Acids are not foreign invaders. Foreign invaders would be life forms like viruses and bacteria - things that have proteins.

I had this happen to me.  The neurological symptoms seemed to be brought on by inflammation caused by the virus or it’s vaccine.  I stocked up on turmeric and everything else that naturally lowers inflammation and my brain fog naturally cleared.  I do anything and everything natural to keep my inflammation down so I can use my brain.

How do you explain the French Paradox, where people in France have been shown to live longer than those in many other countries western countries, yet they drink large quantities of red wine per capita. Additionally the Mediterranean diet includes lots of red wine and lots of fermented vinegars, particularly balsamic vinegar. In China, Taiwan and other parts of Asia it is very popular to drink fermented vinegars, literally by the shot, to aid in digestion and help with other health issues.

Hello Scott

I think one of the main reasons acids can become a problem in the body is overindulging in the wrong foods/drinks regularly, eating a lot of foods with preservatives in can also add to levels, drinking  acidic drinks, being overweight can be the first sign.

Maybe the person is  not overweight but is on Medication that is making them acidic.

Maybe a milk intolerance is making them acidic, is it a Histamine liberater to them definitely in my case.

Maybe a person is  born acidic, from what their mother has ingested and it has passed to them from the placenta.

 

Maybe a person is drinking too much alcohol tipping their levels too high.

I believe the French have a different attitude towards food/ drink they don’t have a bad diet that involves a lot of junk like the Western diet, so they can have their Vinegars and Wine without their bodies getting a problem, maybe if they do start to have health issues they are a getting a build up of acid somewhere, I think in general the French have a good diet with a lot of the right foods. China, Taiwan and Asia will not follow a Western diet, so they are probably not getting a build up, so maybe they can get away with their acids in their diet. I think it just comes down to overload and if your body copes well with acidic things then  fine, I know I react to acids so I try and avoid them where I can. I know with me it sets off my Histamine reactions.

Warning: brief description of stool.

Hello. I’ve been diagnosed for about ten years and just in July I started being unable to tolerate pretty much anything. I can’t eat even certified gluten free schar’s stuff. I’m down to just fish (mostly canned sardines), sweet potatoes, olive oil, beef, and spinach. I am constantly dizzy and brain-foggy anyway. My gastrointestinal symptoms come and go at a whim. It doesn’t seem to have anything to do with what I eat because I eat the same thing all the time. I tried probiotics, a kind that my very sensitive celiac friend said didn’t make him sick, and weirdly they seemed to lessen my neurological symptoms but made my gastrointestinal ones worse. (Stool a good brown color and does not float, but after probiotics is slightly looser and takes on a petroleum-like smell.) I feel the probiotics are probably triggering me somehow also. I tried sauerkraut made in a gluten-free facility to get probiotics from my diet instead of supplements, and those seemed to lessen my gastro symptoms but I was having balance issues and couldn’t think again. I’ve been trying to go low-FODMAP and I’m not sure it’s helping.

Any advice you can give would be appreciated. This is ruining my life.

Did you have Covid? Ever since I had Covid (which was July 2020) I have flared up nearly every day. I have been gluten free for 10 years and cook most of my meals from scratch. I have decided I must have developed a new food intolerance, so I have been trying various elimination diets to no avail. My next step is to try a food intolerance test. I am so tired of hurting and looking 6 months pregnant every day.

Try getting more Thiamine (Vitamin B1) in your diet or supplement with Thiamine.  

Thiamine is needed to process carbohydrates, protein and fat into energy the body can use.  In Thiamine Insufficiency, unprocessed carbohydrates feed intestinal bacteria causing bloating.  Thiamine helps keep the bacteria in check and calms inflammation.  

Thiamine is needed to help fight viruses like Covid.  Thiamine is being given in hospital ICU's to help patients fight Covid.  Without enough thiamine, not enough oxygen gets to the organs.  Thiamine supplementation after Covid infection helps alleviate symptoms in "long haulers".

Discuss supplementation with thiamine and the other interdependent B vitamins with your doctor or nutritionist.

      Food Allergies

      By Ginger38 · Posted

      So I recently had allergy testing for IGE antibodies in response to foods. My test results came back positive to corn, white potatoes, egg whites. Tomatoes, almonds and peanuts to name a few.  I have had obvious reactions to a few of these - particularly tomatoes and corn- both GI issues. I don’t really understand all this allergy versus celiac stuff. If the food allergies are mild do I have to avoid these foods entirely? I don’t know what I will eat if I can’t  have corn based gluten free products

      Bread choice for a newbie

      By Kris2093u4 · Posted

      Geography makes a difference.  I'm in the West and Trader Joe's gluten-free bread tastes great and is a better price than most gluten-free breads sold elsewhere in my area.

      7yo struggling!

      By JForman · Posted

      We have four children (7-14 yo), and our 7 year old was diagnosed with NCGS (though all Celiac labs were positive, her scope at 4 years old was negative so docs in the US won't call it celiac). We have started her on a Gluten Free diet after 3 years of major digestive issues and ruling out just about everything under the sun. Our home and kitchen and myself are all gluten-free. But I have not asked my husband/her dad or her other siblings to go completely gluten-free with us. They are at home, but not out of the home. This has led to situations when we are eating out where she has to consistently see others eating things she can't have and she has begun to say "Well, I can't have <fill in the blank>...stupid gluten."  How have you supported your gluten-free kiddos in the mental health space of this journey, especially young ones like her. I know it's hard for me as an adult sometimes to miss out, so I can't imagine being 7 and dealing with it! Any tips or ideas to help with this?

      My mo,ther married a bread making when I was 4

      By the time I was 5 I had my first auto0immune disorder, Migraine headaches, with auras to blind me, and vomiting, sensitivity to light and sound. I was 5 years old, and my stepfather would have pizza night, milling his own flour, making thick cheesy gluten pizza, that I would eat and the next day, I would have serious migraines, and my mother & stepfather did nothing about my medical problems. When I was 17 in my first year at college, I was diagnosed with my 2nd known auto-immune disorder, Meniere's disease. I was a elite athlete, a swimmer, and soccer player. And once again my parents didn't think anything of understanding why I had a disorder only older people get. Now after my mother passed from Alzheimer's disease she also suffered with living with gluten. She had a rash for 30 years that nobody could diagnose. She was itchy for 45 years total. My brother had a encapsulated virus explodes in his spleen and when this happened his entire intestines were covered with adhesions, scar tissue and he almost lost his life. He has 5 daughters, and when I finally was diagnosed after being pregnant and my body went into a cytokine storm, I lost my chance to have children, I ended up having Hashimoto's disease, Degenerative Disc disease, and my body started to shut down during my first trimester. I am 6ft tall and got down to 119lbs. My husband and I went to a special immunologist in Terrace, California. They took 17 vials of blood as we flew there for a day and returned home that evening. In 3 weeks, we had the answer, I have Celiac disease. Once this was known, only my father and husband made efforts to change their way of feeding me. At the family cabin, my stepfather & mother were more worried that I would ruin Thanksgiving Dinner. It wasn't until one of my cousins was diagnosed with Celiac disease. They finally looked into getting Gluten Free flour and taking measures to limit "gluten" in meals. He did nothing but ask for me to pay for my own food and wi-fi when I came to the cabin to stay after our house burned down. When he informed my mother, they proceeding to get into a physical fight and she ended up with a black eye. The is just more trauma for me. Sam had no interest in telling the truth about what he wanted. He lied to my mother that he had asked my husband if I could pay for "food" when he asked Geoffrey if I had money to pay for my wi-fi. My mother hates when he spends so much time on the computer so he lied and said I could pay for my own food. I will remind you I weighed 119lbs at this time. (At 6ft) that is a very sick looking person. Neither parent was worried about my weight, they just fought about how cheap my stepfather was. As my mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease in 2014. He had her sign over the will to a trust and added his children. He had no testimonial capacity at the time, so she signed without proper papers. Making this Trust null and void. When I gave my brother my childhood home, my mother stated I would be getting an equal part of inheritance to the house on Race. It currently worth 2.0 million $. I got nothing, and my stepfather has since disowned me b/c of my claim and he knows that my mother would never have left it uneven between my biological brother and myself. She sat me and my husband down, as we lived at the Race Street house and treated and took care of it as our own. My brother took over b/c he was going through a horrific divorce and needed a home so he could get a better custody deal with his soon to be ex-wife who was a Assist DA for Denver. She used the girls against him, and he & I were the primary caregivers. We, Judd and I spent the most time with them pre the divorce. Once Judd moved into the house, he threw all of my mother, grandmother and my family heirlooms out to the Goodwill. Nobody told my mother about this as she was going through cancer treatment and had Alzheimer's disease in her mother and her sister. My stepfather and biological brother took advantage of this matter, as I called a "family council" that my brother just never could make it to at the last moment. All of the furnishing, kitchen ware, everything was in the house my brother just moved into. He had had 2 weddings, I chose to elope b/c my stepfather ruined my brother's first wedding by talking about his relationship with my brother in front of my dad and his entire family, insulting him and having my grandfather leave the ceremony. It was a disaster. My stepfather just plays dumb and blames my father for the slight. I was the only child not to have a wedding. So, my mother and stepfather never had to pay for a thing. My mother had had an agreement with my father he'd pay for college and all medical issues with their kids, myself and Judd. So truly my mother never had to pay for anything big for me in her entire life. I am looking for anyone that has had a similar story, where they grew up in a household that had a baker that regularly milled flour and ate gluten. What happened to you? DId you suffer from different auto-immune diseases b/c of living with a baker using "gluten" Please let me know. I have been looking into legal ways to get my stepfather to give me what my mother had promised, and he erased. Thank you for listening to my story. Jane Donnelly

      Blood results

      By trents · Posted

      Possibly gluten withdrawal. Lot's of info on the internet about it. Somewhat controversial but apparently gluten plugs into the same neuro sensors as opiates do and some people get a similar type withdrawal as they do when quitting opiates. Another issue is that gluten-free facsimile flours are not fortified with vitamins and minerals as is wheat flour (in the U.S. at least) so when the switch is made to gluten-free facsimile foods, especially if a lot of processed gluten-free foods are being used as substitutes, vitamin and mineral deficiencies can result. There is also the possibility that she has picked up a virus or some but that is totally unrelated to going gluten-free.
