Head Still In A Fog!

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.

      I had a very rough month after diagnosis. No exaggeration, lost so much inflammatory weight, I looked like a bag of bones, underneath i had been literally starving to death. I did start feeling noticeably better after a month of very strict control of my kitchen and home. What are you eating for breakfast and lunch? I ignored my doc and ate oats, yes they were gluten free, but some brands are at the higher end of gluten free. Lots of celics can eat Bob's Red Mill gluten-free oats, but not me. I can now eat them, but they have to be grown and processed according to the "purity protocol" methods. I mail order them, Montana Gluten-Free brand. A food and symptoms and activities log can be helpful in tracking down issues. You might be totally aware, but I have to mention about the risk of airborne gluten. As the doc that diagnosed me warned . . Remember eyes, ears, nose, and mouth all lead to your stomach and intestines.  Are you getting any cross contamination? Airborne gluten? Any pets eating gluten (they eat it, lick themselves, you pet them...)? Any house remodeling? We live in an older home, always fixing something. I've gotten glutened from the dust from cutting into plaster walls, possibly also plywood (glues). The suggestions by many here on vitamin supplements also really helped me. I had some lingering allergies and asthma, which are now 99% gone. I was taking Albuterol inhaler every hour just to breathe, but thiamine in form of benfotiamine kicked that down to 1-2 times a day within a few days of starting it. Also, since cutting out inflammatory seed oils (canola, sunflower, grapeseed, etc) and cooking with real olive oil, avocado oil, ghee, and coconut oil, I have noticed even greater improvement overall and haven't used the inhaler in months! It takes time to weed out everything in your life that contains gluten, and it takes awhile to heal and rebuild your health. At first it's mentally exhausting, overwhelming, even obsessive, but it gets better and second nature.

      Hi,  I care for my seven year old daughter with Celiac. After watching her for months, I have figured out that she has problem with two kinds of fats- animal fat and cooking oils. It basically makes her intestine sore enough that she feels spasms when she is upset. It only happens on days when she has eaten more fat than her usual every day diet. (Her usual diet has chia seeds, flaxseeds, and avocado/ pumpkin seeds for fat and an occasional chicken breast.) I stopped using cooking oils last year, and when I reintroduced eggs and dairy, both of which I had held off for a few months thinking it was an issue of the protein like some Celiac patients habe mentioned to be the case, she has reacted in the same fashion as she does with excess fats. So now I wonder if her reaction to dairy and eggs is not really because of protein but fat.   I don't really have a question, just wondering if anyone finds this familiar and if it gets better with time.  Thank you.

      Hello, My name is Chanda and you are not the only one that gose through the same things. I have found that what's easiest for me is finding a few meals each week that last. I have such severe reactions to gluten that it shuts my entire body down. I struggle everyday with i can't eat enough it feels like, when I eat more I lose more weight. Make sure that you look at medication, vitamins and shampoo and conditioner also. They have different things that are less expensive at Walmart.

      Thank you so much! I saw some tips around the forum to make a food diary and now that I know that the community also struggles with corn, egg and soy, the puzzle pieces came together! Just yesterday I tried eating eggs and yes, he’s guilty and charged. Those there are my 3 combo nausea troublemakers. I’m going to adjust my diet ☺️ Also thank you for the information about MCAS! I’m from South America and little it’s talked about it in here. It’s honestly such a game changer now for treatment and recovery. I know I’m free from SIBO and Candida since I’ve been tested for it, but I’m still going to make a endoscopy to test for H. Pylori and Eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE). Thank you again!! Have a blessed weekend 🤍

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.
