I tried organic whole grain millet today and had a "intolerance" response. I am beginning to realize that perhaps my villi are gone so I can not tolerate any sugars or starches but I had my usual new response. Intense headache, 99.1 fever, flushing, whole body sweat almost 1/2 later exactly.

Anyone normally have a problem with millet?

I did an isotonic saltwater flush afterwards to try to get it out of my system, anyone ever do that - Does is help?

I just mildly intolerant to millet so I can tolerate it as long as it's in small quantities. I don't actually eat it but I do use part millet flour in my bread. I don't have the same reactions as you do though.

I can't seem to tolerate millet or sorghum. Don't know why.

I'm okay with millet -- my acupuncturist actually recommended it for stomach issues since it's supposed to be very healing according to Traditional Chinese Medicine. However, until I found it in a package, the only source I could find was in the bulk bin at my local grocers -- which made me suspicious of cross-contamination since it was right next to the wheat flours. I generally haven't had a problem with bulk rice, since I can easily wash it, but the millet made me nervous because the grains were too small to be held in any of my kitchen sieves and I wasn't sure how to effectively wash it.

Millet accually showed up as an allergy at my naturalpathic on a test. I tested it with some gluten free banana bread. Oh boy I had some very bad tighting in the chest for a few hours. I also get that feeling if I get glutened by certain things. I have notice it before with salad dressing.

I had the same reactions all of the time. I found that it was not a certain food but my salicylate level. Once I have too much I get the sweats fever and migrane headaches. I'm sure that's what is is for me. We are all different.

      Blood results

      By Heatherisle · Posted

      She’s eating mostly gluten as far as I know. Think her GP is trying to get her seen fairly quickly

      Be sure to have her continue eating gluten before the biopsy. Reducing gluten now could lead to healing and false negative results.

      Struggling to get into a good pattern

      Allegra is an antihistamine.  Histamine is released by the body as part of the autoimmune and immune responses, so an antihistamine would be helpful.  Following the low histamine version of the AIP diet is helpful as well because there's also histamine in foods.  Sometimes our body has trouble getting rid of the histamine it makes and the histamine from our food.  Sometimes the mast cells that make and release histamine get touchy and release histamine at the slightest provocation.  Thiamine helps mast cells not to release histamine so readily.  Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.  SIBO, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, can also cause high histamine levels.  Following the low histamine AIP diet will starve out the bad SIBO bacteria that feed on carbohydrates we eat.  We don't want to take antibiotics because they kill off both the good and bad bacteria.  We don't want to take probiotics yet because the SIBO bacteria will outnumber them.   The AIP diet will allow the good bacteria to flourish.   Some have Candida infections as well as SIBO.   Lowering histamine levels is important because high histamine levels for a long time can lead to worsening health problems like Crohn's and colitis and other health problems.

      gluten-free Canada finds

      By JessicaAnderson · Posted

      Hey! My son will be traveling to Canada from the US next month. What are some items we should try to buy and bring back? I know Doritos are labeled gluten-free in Canada so that’s on our list, what else?

      Oh I have 2 dogs. And I just looked up the ingredients in their food and it does contain barley as a main ingredient. Maybe some other things too that aren't helpful but barley just caught my eye on a quick look.  And yes I spend lots of time with them, they're always cuddled up on me. I even have wondered before if I was allergic to them and I take Allegra at night out of some thought that maybe I was allergic to them (but I've never confirmed that).  Wow. This is very interesting. I could try putting them out on some grain-free food for a month and see if that helps. Thanks for the tip!
