It was mentioned by a friends' brother to have T tested for chemical imbalances to see if it's something like that behind her anger and outbursts (like attacking me). We've got a program we can look into but it's run by DSHS and I don't really want to go there right now.

Im going to pm you when the kids go to school with some questions.

Paula, be sure you have lots of chlorella on hand.

Also, pectin is supposed to be good to absorb toxins. I didn't find that out until I got back from the store yesterday and I didn't feel good enough to go back out. It was all I could do to go get the chlorella.

Potatoes with the skin on and apples. Anything with fiber.

Drink lots of water.

Get lots of rest.

I bought something with liver support. You don't want NAC or other detoxers as you just want something to support your liver not pull out any more toxins. Don't take any herbs to kill bacteria/fungus, etc, either.

I found out that mold detox is very hard and it's all I could handle at one time. I'm going to have to go another day without my meds. I can tell I'm at the tail end and that the binders are working. Yuck. I still have a rash on my forehead and scalp ... the same one I've had off and on most of the time I've posted on this board. It will be interesting to see if it finally goes away.

Today I still feel intoxicated. I don't feel like I'll keel over if I walk and stir up toxins. :) But I'm pretty fatigued still, so don't know how much walking I'll be doing today. ;)

I'm really glad your hubby is going to stay at home with you, that will be a big help.

Would chlorelle or pectin be better then charcoal. I have started to take it again in the last two days. I am going to go to the health store tommorow, or today if i can muster up the energy. I have 2 sick girls home with me today. So we might just watch cartoons all day lol.

I have an whole box of apples, so that will be good.

I will have to look for an gluten, casein and soy free liver support. I am also going to start back on lemon water and see if that helps.

Can i text you from my bed when i feel like im dying lol

LOL, yeah, Paula, do you want my number?

Idk what's better .... I prefer chlorella because it has so many nutrients whereas charcoal just sucks up everything.

You can get pectin, I guess it's a powder? Can be mixed with juice? That's what someone told me ... the person who recommended it.

I ate some salted applesauce yesterday for lunch, LOL. I don't know why I felt like it needed salt!

Today, I have a very odd taste in my mouth. I guess it's metallic. I don't know what this is from. I've been up for three hours, I really need to force myself to eat.

Yes, I used both chlorella and pectin...I much prefer both of these to charcoal. The pectin (Modified Citrus Pectin) was a powder that I got from my doctor's office originally, then found it cheaper on Amazon.

How about epsom baths? Does that help? I find that anytime I have felt wierd and toxic the epsom bath does wonders for me. Plus the binders.

I would like to add, it might be good to keep your diet very clean during this time. Fruits, veggies, meats. No hard to digest carbs - even if gluten free.

Yes, that way u can tell me that im not dying, when i think i am. Well that is if i can text and make sense at the moment lol

Ok ill look for chlorella. Is it something you have to take all by iself like charcoal. I dont drink juice at all, but i guess i can make some in the juicer and add the pectin. I can pick up some really good fruit at the farmers market tommorow.

Is salted applesauce even good lol

I wouldnt be surprised if the mold was hiding some metal toxcitiy, and that is why you have the metallic taste in your mouth. I got that taste really bad when i ate tuna and sometimes for no reason what so ever.

Yeah, it sucks!

I could not do it without help. Things have been so bad lately, I havent even left the house and have made hubby take breaks to pick up the kids to school. But I am making myself leave the house tommorow.

I hope i can even find pectin in this little town i live in lol

I have been back on the baths for 4 days. They have helped some, but not that much. I am just in an really odd place, it is hard to explain. Maybe midlife crisis, i dont know lol

So that means i cant have my daily serving of chips lol

That's another nice thing about chlorella, Paula, I don't believe it has to be taken away from everything else. I read it's good to take before a meal.

Pectin is used to make jelly ..... I'm sure you'll have it .... I know people who live out in the sticks make jelly, LOL. I don't think you have to put it in juice. :)

The salted applesauce was great. I don't know if it would have tasted so great if I didn't need the salt???? I salt melon when I eat it, but I think that's more normal .... except that I salt watermelon, too.

I'll PM you my phone number.

Haha, I knew I smelled from the detox ... I DID shower yesterday afternoon, but haven't gotten out of bed today except to make a smoothie, so haven't showered yet ..... he called me "onion girl" :ph34r: .... how long will this last? At least I know my skin is working for detox. :)

Paula,

So glad to hear hubby is taking a week of so you can start detoxing. It's so nice to have a supporting spouse to help with you and the kids. We'll be here when you feel like posting.

Carla,

Sounds like things are moving along for you. Hang in there!

We are looking at starting the SCD diet, but probably not til February. Got to get through b-days and Christmas. Plus I told hubby he'd probably want to take a week of when we start this and he'd rather take time off then as that is usually when the weather is worse. We'd probably pick a nice week though right? :lol: Anyway it gives me some learning time. I already have a bad mood child due to having to give up her sugar and grains on this diet when we start it.

April, if you are doing this diet with your kids I'd love updates! :)

Gross Carla! Onion girl. :lol: Do people cry when they get near you? :lol: I smell when I detox too :) . Sometimes chlorine or alchohal or even chlorella. :huh:

Yeah I get that metallic tast in my mouth with mold or dust too. I don't know what that could be. I even get more thirst. It does make things taste more different. I hate it sssooo much. :angry:

I have one question though and this is rather strange like me, but whenever I take chlorella my green peas turn white!! They taste like chlorella too. I don't know what to make of this. :mellow:

One thing I am concerned about with the SCD is that we can't take chlorella. That is our toxin binder and I really don't want to go off of it, especially with my amalgams still in.

Andrea, why can't you take chlorella on the SCD?

I got a shower and drove the kids somewhere to drop them off. I was supposed to stay but started feeling horrible .... I went back out to my car thinking that I hoped someone would find me if I passed out in the parking lot! I sat in my car a couple min. then felt good enough to drive home.

I went straight up to bed and asked Adam to come home from work. I didn't feel like I could even go get myself a glass of water.

How long do you think this is going to last? I've been taking lots of chlorella. I've also been drinking a lot of water.

That's copied from the site Breaking the Vicious Cycle.

Chlorella Illegal It is a blue-green algae similar to spirulina.

Spirulina Illegal We do not use algae (Spirulina) because IBD involves the immune system and can aggravate an already disturbed immune system.

Carla,

I hope you start feeling better soon. I'm glad Adam was able to come home and help you.

Well that is not nice of the scd diet. I wonder if it would really hurt alot tho. Could you do pectin or charcoal. What does sherry do for an binder?

Pectin is not allowed either. I think Charcoal is.

I'm a bit confused as to who is detoxing using the chlorella but just wanted to pop in here with a word of caution. Chlorella is a mercury/heavy metal mobilizer and can detox too fast for some that have high levels stored in deep tissues.

From my own experience, I would not take it any more but do detox baths twice a day to help sweat the mercury/heavy metals out of the system faster. A cheap detox bath with 1 c. epsom salts, 1 c. H2O2, 1 c. baking soda, and 1/4 c. potassium. Soak in there for an hour and as hot as you can take it.... If you are really metal toxic, don't take it so hot ... but the sweating is good and one of the only ways to really get the heavy metals out. This may take a solid week to feel normal again.

Detoxing from mold/fungus would mean lots of blueberries to bind with the mycotoxins. Lots of garlic if you cannot take anti-fungals at this point...

Looking at some comments on the diet, I'm thinking we'd benefit more from just restricting our grains (not eliminating them), reducing our sugar (aside from natural sugar in fruits). I've written Dr E to see what she things and find out what it would cost for her to do a diet/nutritional plan for us.

Moldlady,

I haven't tried epsom salt baths. I could try those too.

Andrea,

Are you the one detoxing? I'm really concerned that you have mobilized mercury and heavy metals with the detoxing you have done with chlorella.

Please do the detoxing bath twice a day and stop detoxing with the chlorella. From what I have read, I think it will take you a week to get back to normal. Then, I can suggest ways of going slow....

The best way to detox from mold is to not feed it and to take anti fungals. April can help you with that if I am not around.

Take care,

ML

ML, I have already chelated heavy metals and my metals are low.

I had a bed full of mold that I was being exposed to over a period of time and I'm having a terrible detox reaction since we got rid of it. I felt SO good the first few days it was gone, now I'm feeling horrible. I'm taking chlorella to mop up toxins.

You mention anti-fungals .... you mean like Nystatin? I don't think I actually have mold growing in me ... I was exposed to mold.

Andrea, sometimes you have to take the best of different ideas and use what works for you. :)

I'm not detoxing. That's Carla. I do take chlorella to help bind the metals. I was muscle tested for that though and my body likes it.

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      It has been the most terrible illness ever! Going on 3 weeks now… I had chicken pox as a kid… crazy how much havoc this dormant virus has caused after being reactivated! No idea what even caused it to fire back up. I’m scared this pain and sensitivity is just never going to improve or go away

      It's smart that you're seeing the gastroenterologist tomorrow. While it's possible this is a severe and persistent inflammatory reaction to gluten, the fact that the pain is movement-dependent and localized with tenderness is important for your specialist to hear. It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping...

D3, very high levels of B12 and an eating part of an avocado every day. KnittyKitty and others here can add what they take for skin health. A Dermatologist might identify the type of skin condition. By eyes you may mean eyesight problems not just irritated, red eyes. It is not very difficult to get a diagnosis of which eye condition is affecting your vision but much more difficult to find an effective remedy. The ophthalmologists I have seen have been only a little helpful. There seems to have been some advances in eye treatments that most of them are completely ignorant of or just won't add to their treatment plans.  Forcertain you may as well buy some remedy from a facebook ad but that is obviously risky and may actually damafe your eyes. However it is known that certain supplements , taken at the effectivelevels do help with eyesight. Two of them are Luten and zanthamin (spelling?)and certain anti-oxidants such as bilberry..    Hope this helps.

      I refused to do the gluten challenge for a long time because I knew how sick I would be: I have always had and still have positive antibodies and have so many symptoms my  GI was 💯 sure I would have a positive biopsy. I didn’t want to make myself sick to get a negative biopsy and be more confused by all this.  He couldn’t guarantee me a negative biopsy meant no celiac bc there may not be damage yet or it’s possible to miss biopsies where there’s damage but he was so sure and convinced me I needed that biopsy I went back on gluten. It was a terrible experience! I took pictures of the bloating and swelling and weight gain during the challenge. I gained 9 pounds, looked pregnant, was in pain , couldn’t work or function without long naps and the brain fog was debilitating. And in the end he didn’t get a positive biopsy… so I wish I had never wasted my time or health going through it. I haven’t been truly straightened  out since and I am currently battling a shingles infection at 43 and I can’t help but wonder if the stress I put my body under to try and get an official diagnosis has caused all this. Best of luck to you - whatever you decide. It’s not a fun thing to go through and I still don’t have the answers I was looking for

      It's completely understandable to struggle with the gluten challenge, especially when it impacts your health and studies so significantly. Your experience of feeling dramatically better without gluten is a powerful clue, whether it points to celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. It's very wise of you and your doctor to pause the challenge until your holidays, prioritizing your immediate well-being and exams. To answer your questions, yes, it is possible for blood tests to be negative initially and become positive later as the disease progresses, which is why the biopsy remains the gold standard. Many, many people find the gluten challenge incredibly difficult due to the return of debilitating symptoms, so you are certainly not alone in that struggle. Wishing you the best for your exams and for obtaining clearer answers when you're able to proceed.

It could indeed be significant inflammation, but it's also worth ruling out other overlapping issues that can affect those with celiac disease. Is it possible you got some gluten in your diet somehow? This could be a possible trigger. Hopefully, tomorrow's appointment will provide clearer answers and a path to relief so you can get back to your lectures and enjoy your weekend. Wishing you all the best for the consultation.
