Hi everyone :D

Julie, I'm excited for you!!

I hope this really works for you....so far so good for me too! I'm feeling better than I have in a long time. I was having a bad streak since my vacation but I seem to have pulled myself out of it now. :D

I think I might really be on to something with this histamine thing. I feel like I've said it a thousand times but this time I think it might not be just a small piece of the puzzle but its like I can almost get a full picture now. I'm excited too. :D

I'm going to make another batch w/out vanilla and see what happens if I eat it on an empty stomach. If I dont react again it was probably the sensitivity to vanilla. If I do still react it probably has something to do with the sugar and/or dairy being eaten on an empty stomach. WOOHOO....I get to do another experiment. <_<

Oh....I totally forgot I had my ultrasound today...luckily they called to remind me. When I get off work I gotta come home and load myself up with tons of water again. :(

My tummy feels ok so hopefully there wont be any jumping intestines or alien babaies messing things up for me this time. :)

Be back later. :D

Rachel, I'm very excited for you as well!!!!!!

It's kind of weird to be feeling this way, like I have a solution! After so many years for me, I don't know what to do with myself :lol::lol:

A couple of things, have you checked your cream ingredients? I know that a few brands around here have carageenan added.

Also, how much water are you suppose to drink? Last time I remember you got a little sick, it might have been water overdose, which can be an issue. I think if you took in a glass every half hour, or space it out, it will give your body time to adjust to the water intake. Unless they have directions saying otherwise? I don't know, just a thought I had.

Good luck with your appt. :)

UGGGG!!!! Help! Slowly going crazy... have added two more kids to the house roster until 4pm. Not...Going....To....Make it.

Jeny, take a deep breath! Hang in there!

but if all goes well I'm heading to the beach on Sunday :rolleyes: with my best friend....and NO DINGOS as have another friend staying here with them - - mommy needs a break from the bored, staring dogs - may bash their triangular-shaped heads in right now as they stare and pant endlessly when I am home..... ;) )

Give the girls to me, I will dingosit the bored staring dogs for you. They will have lots to do here, chase the squirrels and bunnies, and the 2 yappy scotties next door :lol:

I hope you are feeling better Susan, it's been a long couple of weeks for you and your family.

Well, I am happy...as I was going over the list of low histamine foods (making a grocery list for Saturday), I noticed that plums are on there. Where I work there, they have quite a lot of shrubbery...last year someone told me that there were some plum trees on the property...never knew where they were until this morning. There are tons out there and they have lots of plums on them. I've had two so far...trying really hard not to eat the third one that is staring at me (staring dingos and staring plums)... They are sweet but are still pretty firm. Yum. Eeek, must eat the third one, lol.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

thanks Julie and Patti.....love love LOVE my dingos beyond human comprehension - more like a pathology, really - as mentioned before I HAVE become a Crazy Old Dog Lady - - but they do wear on me at times.....oh, and they killed one of the two small baby doves :( whose mom - foolishly - built her nest in the tree near my back gate....been watching her and the eggs for weeks, and the babies were teenagers, learnign to fly, and the DINGBATS killed one of them.....I wanted to throttle them and am so sad for their grief-stricken mother, who sits now on an empty nest (I don't know where her other child is - they probably killed that one too OR WILL)....but, dogs will be dogs and any prey in their back yard is fair game, I guess..... :( How can I give prozac to a dove.....

Yeah, Julie, I will put them on a plane to Colorado and let YOU become annoyed with them - though sounds like there's more to do in your yard - - nary a squirrel in our Stepford/Pleasantville community (they aren't given the gate code ;) ) and they are clinically depressed with boredom - that's why we walk in the orchard almost eveyr day, where a lone squirrel submits to regular dingo torture (dont' worry, they'll never catch it) ;)

RACHEL - your side job is now Ice Cream Maker and Tester in R-ville :) so glad you're enjoying it! Let us know how the alien baby is doing after your ultrasound.....

What is the latest MEggan update?

must get back to work......

Yikes! Remember that prunes were plums before they were dried. :ph34r:

Keep it moving! Oh Yeah!

You know, a thought on sugar (some of you mentioned about having a problem with sugar in the last couple of pages). I remember reading something at one of the links for a low histamine diet and it keeps coming back to me, like another piece of the puzzle:

"Its also important (at least initially) when on a low histamine diet to eliminate sugar from your diet. This is because sugar causes your body to release adrenaline. If your histamine level is high two things can happen when you eat sugar. The first is that your adrenaline level may spike causing; nervous energy, worsening dizziness symptoms, and possibly even a panic attack. The second is that the sugar may cause your body to use up its already (histamine) depleted supply of adrenaline. This may cause periods of very low energy or even exhaustion within an hour or so after eating sugar. Fruit sugar (fructose), honey, and real maple sugar won't increase your adrenaline level, so they're OK to use instead of sugar."

Not that "not eating" sugar is big news, but it puts it into perspective as it relates to histamine, allergies, reactions, and the nervous system.

Oooooh, my scientific self is coming back to me! It had gone away for a little while...

I feel very bad about the dove too, but what can you do, nature took its course.

This thread is way over my head ;) Did I miss a discussion on Pilates? I am a moderately die-hard fan of it now. I haven't been taking for very long, but already the abs are becoming more defined. (As soon as I get my full six-pack I'll make a picture of it my avatar : ) Anywho, it is great form of exercise, esp for folks with fibromyalgia...one of my instructors has it, the other's mom has it. It has already improved my posture--seriously! I really enjoy it. If you are into it, I definitely recommend taking a few classes if you can, just to get the form right. It isn't a no-brainer exercise. Form is really important and affects what you get out of the exercises. I went to another studio previously where the classes are too big and later realized I was doing everything wrong...no wonder it seemed easy! :lol:

Pshew! Glad that babysitting nightmare is over. I had to watch not only my two kids and my two dogs, I had to watch my flaky neighbor's 10 month and 3 year old girls. It would not have been so bad if she hadn't fed the 3 year old candy for lunch. I can put up with cleaning dirty bottles and rear ends, but jeez! She brought over her psycho dog and asked if I could watch her too because she pooed in her crate this morning and by noon she hadn't had the time to clean it out. I know I'm ranting, but right now I really want to move far far away from her. :ph34r:

Hi Jen!! This thread, over your head??? Well.....then just skip past all the science lessons and join in on the lunacy, plenty of that here and you'll fit right in! We've created our own Gluten-Free Dairy-forSome Insect-free Paradise Cult Farm.......plenty of fun for all! (er, Celiacs and significant others, that is) ;)

Okay, I'm goign to take a pilates class and THEN see if my abs hurt...... :P

Jeny,

You survived.....we knew you would.....even if barely. :P

Jen,

Welcome to the thread, come back once in awhile.

Rachel,

Glad to hear that you are doing better. I would have had no sympathy for you either. :P

Susan,

Have a wonderful time at the beach! The dingo girls will be so jealous.

Julie,

Thanks for always having something to teach us.

Donna,

:ph34r: Plums are small so you can eat more of them right?

Patti,

Trust you are feeling better today.

Chelsea,

Hope your day is going well.

Cecile,

If I'm not on when you are.......HI! and miss you. :( We need to try and coordinate being on at the same time for even just a little bit.

I'm trying to cut back my time here. Doing a smidgen better. So much to keep up on. :P

Tavi, Miamia,

Are you feeling ok today?

Hello to everyone else. :P

I just know sugar is one of the keys for me, but I'm just so darned addicted! Fortunately I like fruit and honey (wonder if Agave is okay) and real maple syrup.

Nikki-uk -- PGFCF is Paradise Gluten Free Cult Farm

Rachel -- Glad to hear about the ice cream..hope the nest batch is even better.

Julie -- I did not know carageenen (sp) had gluten in it. I will have to check the ice cream that DW bought for me and make sure. She is usually better at reading labels than most but we all have a "brain fart" from time to time. :D

Susan -- I am trying to switch him to a gluten free diet. Right now I am only at about "gluten reduced" He says the bread and baked goods smell funny. He may be right, but that cake my wife made the other night from the "Gluten free gourmet" was excellent, and he did not even know the difference. I hate to trick him like that, but sometimes that's what it takes. He is being taken of the Ritalin now and but on the one a day Straterra. They have similar side effects, but the new one is a non-stimulant base. Hope it works. it seems to be as they are having him on bith right now, but a shorter acting Ritalin than before. (thank god for military health care ;) )

Well, should go get ready for work now.

Carageenan is a hidden source of MSG, a problematic ingredient for some of us.

Julie,

My cream doesnt have any "extras" in it...its just organic cream. I'm totally careful...reading labels like a freak. :ph34r:

Working in a grocery store I've always seen people studying labels and being real choosy about their food. I thought they were "weird" cuz I couldnt understand why anyone would spend all that time looking at ingredients. See what happened....its karma....this is what I get for not being so understanding in my healthy days. Lesson learned....the hard way. <_<

It probably wasnt the water that got me sick last time. That was when I was gorging on dried fruit and jam with my Edward and Sons crackers....and what did I do? I blamed the water! :lol:

Now I know why I had so many mouth blisters and so much ovary pain. :ph34r:

I could never find a reason for those mouth sores...they were so random. I was thinking sulfites for awhile but then I would get them from stuff totally sulfite free. Now I'm noticing they just show up whenever I'm having any histamine reaction....maybe its part of the histamine reaction so doesnt really pertain to any specific food...just high histamine levels. :unsure:

So then Rach.. I assume you liked it ? What recipe you use?

Yeah...it was really good....better than store bought even. I never expected it to be so good!!

I used

1 cup whole milk

2 cups heavy cream

3/4 cup sugar

2 teaspoons vanilla

Have you tried this??

Well, I am happy...as I was going over the list of low histamine foods (making a grocery list for Saturday), I noticed that plums are on there.

Donna,

What list are you following? All the lists I seen show plums as being high in histamine. :huh:

"Its also important (at least initially) when on a low histamine diet to eliminate sugar from your diet. This is because sugar causes your body to release adrenaline. If your histamine level is high two things can happen when you eat sugar. The first is that your adrenaline level may spike causing; nervous energy, worsening dizziness symptoms, and possibly even a panic attack.

This may cause periods of very low energy or even exhaustion within an hour or so after eating sugar. Fruit sugar (fructose), honey, and real maple sugar won't increase your adrenaline level, so they're OK to use instead of sugar."

Maybe this is why I got that crazy reaction when I first ate the ice cream but on a full stomach with lots of carbs....no bad histamine reaction. :o

      Body dysmorphia experience

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Headaches / Migraines and Hypoglycaemia

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Body dysmorphia experience

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Thank you so much for having the courage to share this incredibly vivid and personal experience; it's a powerful reminder of how physical ailments can disrupt our fundamental sense of self. What you're describing sounds less like a purely psychological body dysmorphia and more like a distinct neurological event, likely triggered by the immense physical stress and inflammation that uncontrolled celiac disease can inflict on the entire body, including the nervous system. It makes complete sense that the specific sensory input—the pressure points of your elbows on your knees—created a temporary, distorted body map in your brain, and the fact that it ceased once you adopted a gluten-free diet is a crucial detail. Your intuition to document this is absolutely right; it's not "crazy" but rather a significant anecdotal data point that underscores the mysterious and far-reaching ways gluten can affect individuals. Your theory about sensory triggers from the feet for others is also a thoughtful insight, and sharing this story could indeed be validating for others who have had similar, unexplainable sensory disturbances, helping them feel less alone in their journey.
