Thanks, Judy :D Makes you feel good when someone actually listens!

This is a good thread for you--lots of histimine talk. (Could prove very helpful if what you have are allergies!) ;) With all the sneezing, I'll bet that's what it is--the doctor in the paper today said that it was due to begin as early as this week--earlier than usual.

Matt and I have been sneezing a little bit, too. The ragweed must be creeping over the bridge from Philly to Jersey :o

well i'll try to capture that and keep it over here :lol:

i know nothing of histimines so guess i better read up..

just never had allergies this bad if that's what it is.

are people saying that food+ histimines+ ragweed = sneezing :lol::huh::blink: ???????

Judy

Chelse!! Look at you! I love your new picture :)

Rachel, I have more research to do but I though it was an interesting connection between histamine and thyroid. I have hypothyroid so I wonder if the same could be said, they mentioned it had to do with normalizing thyroid, so my thinking was mybe it could be for both hyper and hypo??

Copper is an interesting component as well.

Yes....new rule....all things said more than 50 pages ago shall remain lost in the thread. No more pulling out random things from the past.... :blink::ph34r:

Only pertinent scientific info shall be resurrected and thrown back at us. :P

Maybe he's trying to make a statement ... after all, he's read over 100 pages so far!!

Andrea, I seriously doubt he's read the whole 100 pages. Me thinks he's skipping the scientificness (it goes over his head anyways) and just looking for the things he can have more fun with. I'm sure I'll be hearing about it today....the things I posted in my crazy sweet potato stupor....coming back to haunt me. :ph34r:

What was I thinking?? :blink:

Miamia,

Did they tell you when to expect your test results?? I'm wondering how long it will take. I'm very impatient....want to know now. The lady at the lab wasnt very friendly...I wanted to ask how soon they get their results back but she scared me a little so I kept my mouth shut....since she was the one who was gonna be poking me with the needle. <_<

Rachel-

I am the same way. I get so impatient!!! If I can I try to get my doctor to call and tell them to put a rush on the results. I never get why they always take so long. Yes always good to be nice to the people with the needles- I have really deceptive vanes they look like they are right at the surface and then when you try to draw blood from them it dosen't work and one of my arms is easier to draw from than the other - when I warn nurses or doctors about this they get so defensive because they think I am trying to tell them how to do their job so they always ignore me and then end up poking me a million times til they end up doing exactly what I said. I have come out of many tests looking like a heroine addict- Lots of needle marks plus the skinny factor- yes I get some strange looks!!

About the copper thing- I don't know how I tesst with that but I know I do have a zinc deficiency I wonder about that in connection to all this- ahh more to research

Ok Julie and everyone else-

I did some mor eresearch and I have a doctors appt this morning so these are the things I found and am going to run by him-

They are all supplements so I know these are always questionable-

Wobenzym N- thats the systemic Oral enzyme

-Biogenesis Bioinflamatory- Its a medical food powder to support gastro intestinal healing and remove toxins (inc. environmental toxins)

- Daystar Quick Relief- For food allergic reactions -you can take this one daily or when you feel like you are having a reaction from food

Ok I hope some of this is helpful

CarlaB,

Did you get the golcose test? Did you test yet? How did it go? Sorry if I mnised it.

I walked over to the pharmacy, it's locally owned, and the least expensive test kit was $19 with no needles or test strips. So, I thought I'd wait to go to a chain pharmacy that might have a cheaper one.

Then, I get to debating in my head whether to do it or not ... I don't think this current dizziness is from it, and now that my jaw has moved to accomodate the mouthpiece and the inflammation in my face seems to be going away, I'm not so dizzy. Plus, Morgan just woke up sick this morning ... apparently I had a virus! Yah! Not another food intolerance! ;) I'm sorry for Morgan, but glad for the confirmation I was just plain sick.

I do think hypoglycemia may be a problem as I've always had a problem if I eat simple carbs by themselves. I end up really tired later. If I eat something sweet at night, I have a "hangover" effect from it in the morning. One night we went out to eat, had two or three drinks with dinner (not enough for a major hangover), and then watched a movie and split a pint of Haagen Dazs, but the ice cream was a couple hours after dinner. The next day I was so delirious that I didn't understand simple things Adam was saying, so I started giggling, he realized there was a major problem and sat me down with some Propel. (This was before I was casein-free so some of the reaction was due to the casein ...)

Ever since then I've been careful to eat protein with carbs and have not had another problem ... so from now on it's STEAK with my SORBET!! :P

Do you think it's worth doing the test if I'm aware of the problem and have adjusted the way I eat? I didn't have a problem with the glucose tolerance test when I was pregnant, but the last time was, well, she's 8.

Thanks for asking! It's nice having all of you here who care ... no one in my circle of friends/family (excluding those I live with) seem to even think of asking. It means a lot.

Hmm the one I got from CVS was $15 I am pretty sure, had the needles, and 10 strips. I might be a bit off on the price, but taht is ballpark, so yea look for a chain store.

I would. Reverse the question, why not? For me, I would want to know. TarnalBerry on this site is hypoglycemica and did not do the test, neither did penguin, so you would be in good company at least. For me, it was nice to have an objective test with objective numbers to back it up. Plus it was nice to rule out diabeteas.

If I did not it would always be wondering "what if..."

Good luck with your doc appt today and let us know how it goes :)

I tested a couple times after Vincent mentioned it, but it gave me the ooglies to stick myself, so I stopped. I'm in the "hmm, I'm starting to get a bit shaky, better eat something" camp of hypoglycemics. It helps to just eat balanced and often throughout the day...

I have blood tests run occasionally, including fasting, and I'm always in normal ranges, so for me it's reactive hypoglycemia. It's also one of the gazillion symptoms of celiac.

The doc did the morning blood sugar test for diabetes, so I think that's ruled out ... at least that's what my doc said ...

Why not? Needles ... I'm a baby. :( Next time I have a problem, I'll do it ... for now, I'll just keep doing what I've been doing ... which isn't cleaning the house ... really need to get off here and get started!! Sick three days, this place is a disaster!

Whoops, meant to say that's how diabetes was ruled out for me and how they figured out which hypoglycemia I have. If you're hypoglycemic first thing in the morning, it's fasting hypoglycemia, which is considered a pre-diabetes sign, or at least a risk factor.

I've never checked my blood during a crash, I chickened out before I got that far.

Carla, I bought a cheap one from Long's...it was called "FreeStyle" and it had all the stuff, including 10 test strips. I really just wanted to do the testing for the one day, so this was perfect. I ended up buying another kind...just a bit more expensive as well, and I used it ocassionally just to see if my symptoms are related to blood sugar...they never are though, but I'm still glad I have it to erase the doubts.

(Still trying to get used to you as a red head....)

Yea fasting/diabetes is done that way , but reactive is trickier. BTW I am STILL screwing up my diet, how long will it take me to learn have a freaken clue about it! As soon as the crash hits I know what happend Stuff like YOU STUPID IDIOT ALL YOU HAD WAS ICE CREAM ALL DAY!

BUt I guess at least I know.... :lol: if a bit late :lol:

Miamia and Rachel,

When Talitha had her blood work done we always had results within a couple days. Maybe they do some things faster than others.

I was looking for Susan's post about her neice over here. Susan if you come over and read this....sounds like your neice could benefit from being tested for celiac as well as challenging the histamine with a low histamine diet. I would think that you aren't the only celiac/gluten intolerant in your family.

Carla,

It's nice to have such a caring community isn't it?

Vincent,

Come join us over in R-2. Of course now this thread is probably easier to keep up with. :P

As soon as the crash hits I know what happend Stuff like YOU STUPID IDIOT ALL YOU HAD WAS ICE CREAM ALL DAY!

BUt I guess at least I know.... :lol: if a bit late :lol:

Sounds like you pulled a Rachel. :P

      Self Diagnosed avoiding gluten 7 months later (Not tested due to eating gluten to test) update and question on soy

      Not sure what you mean by "soy being like gluten". Soy does not cause a celiac reaction. However, soy is one of the foods that many celiacs don't tolerate well for other reasons. Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one...

      I know I haven't been tested but self diagnosed that by avoiding gluten the past 7 months I feel so much better. I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang...

What I can tell you is that it is normal for everything not to be normal when you get a CMP done. I used to get a CBC and CMP done annually and there were always some things out of spec. Docs don't get excited about it for the most part. It depends on the particular parameter (some are more important than others) and it depends on how far out of range it is. Docs also look for trends over time as opposed to isolated snapshots of this or that being out of spec at any given time. Our body chemistry is a dynamic entity.

Eggs, corn and dairy are also on that list of foods that many of those with celiac disease seem to be sensitive to. But that doesn't mean that all celiacs are sensitive to any one of them or all of them. It just means it's common. You may not have a problem with soy at all. Celiac disease is not a food allergy. It is an autoimmune response to the ingestion of gluten that creates inflammation in the small bowel lining that, over time, damages that lining.

      Basic metabolic panel results - more flags

      By Rejoicephd · Posted

      Hey all  Has anyone on here experienced any of the following on their basic metabolic panel results ? This is what mine is currently flagging : - low sodium  - nearly too low potassium - nearly too low chloride - high CO2  - low anion gap  This is now after being nearly gluten-free for over a year (although I admit I make mistakes sometimes and pay dearly for it). My TtG went down to undetectable. I was so sensitive to so many foods I am now avoiding meat dairy and don’t eat a lot of cooked food in general (raw veggies, white rice, avocados and boiled eggs are my usual go-to meal that doesn’t make me sick). But my abdomen still hurts, i have a range of other symptoms too (headaches that last for days before letting up, fatigue, joint pain, bladder pain). Anyway im hoping my urologist (that’s now the latest specialist I’ve seen on account of the bladder pain and cloudy urine after eating certain foods) will help me with this since he ordered this metabolic panel. But I’m bouncing around a lot between specialists and still not sure what’s wrong. Also went back to the GI doctor and she thought maybe the celiac is just not healed or I have something else going on in the colon and I should have that looked at too. I’m still anemic too BTW. And I’m taking sooo may vitamins daily.

I have followed how to eat and avoid gluten and have been good about hidden gluten in products, how to prep gluten-free and flours to use to bake gluten-free and have been very successful. It has been a learning curve but once you get the hang of it and more aware you realize how many places are gluten-free and contamination free practices etc. One thing I have read is how soy is like gluten. How would one know if soy affects you? I have eaten gluten free hershey reeses that say gluten free etc some other snacks say gluten free but contain soy and I dont get sick or soy yogurt no issues. Is there adifference in soys?

      Check your multivitamin to see if it contains Thiamine Mononitrate, which is a "shelf-stable" form of thiamine that doesn't break down with exposure to light, heat, and time sitting on a shelf waiting to be sold.  Our bodies have difficulty absorbing and utilizing it.  Only 30% is absorbed and less can be utilized.   There's some question as to how well multivitamins dissolve in the digestive tract.  You can test this at home.  YouTube has instructional videos.   Talk to your nutritionist about adding a B Complex.  The B vitamins are water soluble, so any excess is easily excreted if not needed.  Consider adding additional Thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) or thiamine hydrochloride.   Thiamine is needed to help control electrolytes.  Without sufficient thiamine, the kidneys loose electrolytes easily resulting in low sodium and chloride.   We need extra thiamine when we're emotionally stressed, physically ill, and when we exercise regularly, are an athlete, or do physical labor outdoors, and in hot weather.  Your return to activities and athletics may have depleted your thiamine and other B vitamins to a point symptoms are appearing.   The deficiency symptoms of B vitamins overlap, and can be pretty vague, or easily written off as due to something else like being tired after a busy day.  The symptoms you listed are the same as early B vitamin deficiency symptoms, especially Thiamine.  Thiamine deficiency symptoms can appear in as little as three days.  I recognize the symptoms as those I had when I was deficient.  It can get much worse. "My symptoms are as follows: Dizziness, lightheaded, headaches (mostly sinus), jaw/neck pain, severe tinnitus, joint stiffness, fatigue, irregular heart rate, post exercise muscle fatigue and soreness, brain fog, insomnia.  Generally feeling unwell." I took a B 50 Complex twice a day and extra thiamine in the forms Benfotiamine and TTFD.  I currently take the Ex Plus supplement used in this study which shows B vitamins, especially Thiamine B 1, Riboflavin B2, Pyridoxine B 6, and B12 Cobalamine are very helpful.   A functional evaluation of anti-fatigue and exercise performance improvement following vitamin B complex supplementation in healthy humans, a randomized double-blind trial https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10542023/
