Salicylates, My Heart Pounding Anxiety


BobbyKat LittleCub

Recommended Posts

BobbyKat LittleCub Rookie

I really need a better list of high Salicylate products. I use Tea Tree Oil on my face because it's the only thing that works on me for redness due to mites I'm apparently allergic to. Any way, I usually just use one drop in skin cleanser, but my cat jumped up right when I was using the dropper. Oops! Oh well, I went ahead and washed my face with it and wiped it off. Now my heart is pounding out of my chest and the anxiety is horrible. It always happens with Sals for me among other symptoms.

Does anyone else have these symptoms with Sals? Also, I don't know how much Sals is in Tea Tree Oil, because of conflicting information. I know it wasn't what I ate because I been eating plain oatmeal and drinking water all week.

I found this interesting article...

Correlations of the components of tea tree oil with its antibacterial effects and skin irritation

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1021949813000082

Seems like tea tree oil is pretty harsh.  

Facial redness with Celiac Disease could be a sign of vitamin deficiencies or Dermatitis Herpetiformis.  Has your doctor taken a biopsy of the rash to rule out DH?  If it is DH, have you figured out where the gluten is coming from? 

Vitamin deficiency in Niacin(B3), Riboflavin(B2), Pyridoxine(B6), and B12 (Cobalamine) can cause facial redness.  Vitamin C deficiency can cause skin problems. Vitamin A and also iron deficiency can affect the skin, too.

Are you taking a B Complex vitamin supplement?  

Tea tree oil was too strong for my skin and caused redness and burning.  

If it is dust mites, try lavender, orange peel, or bay leaf under your pillow.  Bugs hate these naturally bug repellent plants.

  Hope this helps!

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
