Latley I have been having problems with my head STILL. I posted earlier but I still am having problems. I am wondering if I need to eliminate another food from my diet. I am gluten free and dairy free. I am tired of feeling so slugish all the time. I feel really hung over when I get up in the morning..no I haven't been drinking! :) I am tired throughout the day also. I was reading about others who eliminated soy, corn and potatoes. What should I do? I haven't had any stomach or bathroom issues, just a really foggy head.

Kimberly,

Here are just some ideas - no answers, though. Have you been keeping a food diary? Maybe that would be helpful. Likely food intolerances would be dairy, eggs, soy, nightshades (potatoes and peppers), nitrates/nitrites, other food additives/chemicals. Corn, like gluten, is in SO many processed foods. So you might not be able to tell a response to that unless you eliminate completely for a bit of time. Also, are other things OK? For instance, are you having seasonal allergies or even more likely, allergies to something in your home/bedroom? Are you possibly depressed? Have you been exercising? Often moderate exercise can make me feel better when I'm just a little sluggish. Are you sleeping OK? Stress from work? Good luck and I hope you feel better soon.

Corn is the thing that gives me the most brain fog, tiredness, and hangover. Corn Syrup (glucose), corn starch, etc, really send my brain reeling.

Funny story - I KNOW better, but sometimes I just slip up. The air in the house has been kind of stale lately, end of winter, spring isn't here... So the other day at lunch I just sprayed "Oust" around to freshen up. Man did I have a headache that night, and I felt like I had a hangover the next morning! :blink: I KNOW that fabreeze and oust are made from corn. But it just seemed like a good idea... No more bottled freshness for me.

Hope you find the culprit.

I am suffering from allergies and eczema too and have tried lots of different things with minor success. Suffer from major brain fog too that holds me back in all my ambitions.

Through Anthony Robbins 'Living Health' program I truly think I have found the solution. He bases his system for a great part on the work of Dr. Robert Young (Open Original Shared Link or Open Original Shared Link ). He had great success and that's why he commercialised a lot, but you will get there by just getting his book on amazon .com (The PH-Miracle) and that will cost you just a dollar or 12.

The problem is; your body is severely out of balance. Sometimes it will get to the better and of the scale and your symptoms reduce, but most of the time it just sucks. You need to get your body back into balance. That will, however, in my experience not work by just adding some miracle herbs and eliminating some foods. You have to change DRASTICALLY for a couple of months to totally bring your body back into balance.

The question is; what is out of balance? The problem is that your body is too acidic. How did your body got so acidic? Some foods have an alkalizing effect, that means they add OH- ions too the body and some foods have an acidifying effect, that means they neutralize the OH- ions and add H3O+ ions. Chemistry, doesn't really matter for the further solution. The blood needs a pH value of 7.365 too operate and it will do everything to maintain its' value, even if it has too extract building blocks from other cells. This will make your body totally acidic. The problem with an acidic body is, that it is an excellent environment for germs, harmful bacteria, fungi, viruses, etc.. These produce elimination products that are acidic itself and so you are in a vicious cycle. Your body tries to get rid of this by all strange diseases which are generally suppressed by FDA certified drugs which just make things worse. You have to break this vicious circle and clean your body.

You have to alkalize your body. This will take a long time (you will see effects within weeks, but total recovery may take months or years), because 1 gram of acidifying food takes about 20 grams of alkalizing food to neutralize. This means that you have to live ENTIRELY on vegetables, sprouts and low sugar fruits (tomatoes and avocadoes) for a couple of months. Further there are supplements that have an alkalizing effect that you have to use (green juices, Omega-3/Omega-6 unsaturated fatty acids) and other stuff that is outlined in the book. You completely have to cut out dairy, meat, coffee, sugar, etc... everything. Change DRASTICALLY and you will soon experience great healths again. The book outlines all the sources so that you can have a balanced diets with all necessary nutrition. You start with a transition diet (slowly remove all bad foods), then you do a cleanse and then you start to build your 'new' body and will obtain incredible health again. After balancing your body you can go back to a 70 percent alkalizing food diet and 30 percent acidifying food (but keep holding back on the real bad stuff; dairy, sugar, meat, etc.).

I am on the program for six days now and I already experienced moments of great mental clarity, though my body is cleaning and I still have moments of huge mental fog, but I truly feel I am going in the right direction, because I am putting in NO bad foods at all anymore (all raw vegetables and sprouts, avocadoes and tomatoes+healthy complementary supplements). This just have to pay off sometime, I need this to bring my body back into balance. I will let you know how I am doing.

I truly think an allergy or a disease is an effect, not a cause. Remove the cause (acid body, overgrowth of microforms) and you will experience great health again. Makes just a hell of a lot of sense.

Go to your health store, test your pH level; if it is below 7, alkalize your body.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for back pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly. Interesting Reading: Thiamine, cobalamin, locally injected alone or combination for herpetic itching: a single-center randomized controlled trial https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23887347/ Mechanisms of action of vitamin B1 (thiamine), B6 (pyridoxine), and B12 (cobalamin) in pain: a narrative review https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35156556/ Analgesic and analgesia-potentiating action of B vitamins https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12799982/ A Narrative Review of Alternative Symptomatic Treatments for Herpes Simplex Virus https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10301284/

      My only proof

      By Mari · Posted

      I think, after reading this, that you areso traumatized by not being able yo understand what your medical advisors have been  what medical conditions are that you would like to find a group of people who also feel traumatized who would agree with you and also support you. You are on a crusade much as the way the US Cabinet  official, the Health Director of our nation is in trying to change what he considers outdated and incorrect health advisories. He does not have the education, background or experience to be in the position he occupies and is not making beneficial decisions. That man suffered a terrible trauma early in his life when his father was assonated. We see now how he developed and worked himself into a powerful position.  Unless you are willing to take some advice or  are willing to use a few of the known methods of starting on a path to better health then not many of us on this Celiac Forum will be able to join you in a continuing series of complaints about medical advisors.    I am almost 90 years old. I am strictly gluten free. I use 2 herbs to help me stay as clear minded as possible. You are not wrong in complaining about medical practitioners. You might be more effective with a clearer mind, less anger and a more comfortable life if you would just try some of the suggestions offered by our fellow celiac volunteers.

      Thus has got to STOP , medical bit believing us! I literally went through 31 years thinking it was just a food allergy as its downplayed by medical if THEY weren't the ones who diagnosed us! Im positive for HLA-DQ2 which is first celiac patient per Iran and Turkey. Here in the States especially in Cali its why do you feel that way? Why do you think your celiac? Your not eating gluten so its something else.Medical caused me depression. I thought I was safe with my former pcp for 25 years considering i thought everything I went through and going through will be available when I get fired again for health. Health not write-ups my health always come back when you're better.Im not and being tossed away at no fault to my own other than shitty genes.I was denied disability because person said he didn't know how to classify me! I said Im celiac, i have ibs, hernia, sciatica, high blood pressure, in constant pain have skin and eye issues and menopause intensified everything. With that my celiac nightmare began to reprove my disregarded disease to a bunch of clowns who think they are my careteam when they said I didn't have...I feel Im still breathing so I can fight this so no body else has to deal with this nightmare. Starting over with " new care team" and waisting more time on why I think I am when diagnosed in 1994 before food eliminated from my diet. P.s everything i went through I did write to medical board, so pretty sure I will continue to have a hard time.
