Millet

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.

      Cold/flu or gluten poisoning? Hello. I've had another similar episode. I find it very difficult to differentiate between the symptoms of a cold or flu and those caused by gluten poisoning. In fact, I don't know if my current worsening is due to having eaten something that disagreed with me or if the cold I have has caused my body, which is hypersensitive, to produce symptoms similar to those of gluten poisoning.

      I'm no longer dealing with constipation. I got my liver test last month and it was in normal range. Two years ago I did have a vitamin D deficiency but I'm know taking vitamin D3 pills. Last month I got my vitamin D checked and it was in normal range. I don't believe I've had my choline checked. However, I do drink almond milk eat Greek yogurt on a daily basis.

      Non-Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (NCGS) can be associated with low ferritin and iron deficiency. Once Celiac Disease (1% of the population affected) has been ruled out by tests the next step is to check for Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity (10% of the population affected) by eliminating gluten for a trial period, then re-introduce Gluten Challange. Have you been supplementing Iron? How are your liver enzymes? Low levels of ferritin indicate iron deficiency, while  59% transferrin saturation indicates high iron levels.  Possibly indicating Fatty Liver Disease.  Choline is crucial for liver health, and deficiency is a known trigger for Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver.  Some experts say that less than 10% eat the the Food and Nutrition Board established Adequate Intake that are based on the prevention of liver damage. Severe constipation and hemorrhoids may be linked to a bile or choline deficiency.  "Ninety-five percent of phospholipids (PLs) in bile is secreted as phosphatidylcholine or lecithin."  Fatty acid composition of phospholipids in bile in man   Deficiency of these bile salts causes the bile to get thick. Some people with Celiac Disease are misdiagnosed with Gall Bladder bile issues.  Removal of the gallbladder provides only temporary relief. Whether or not celiac disease or NCGS are your issues you need to look at your vitamin D blood level.

      If you have hemorrhoids 1x weekly I don't see how you have time to heal from one episode before you experience another one, unless each one is a very minor event. Have you consulted a physician about your hemorrhoid issue? It's not normal to be having an episode every week unless it is really one episode that is not completely healing between weekly flareups.
