Hello everyone..

My names mandy ..

After a long 14 month sof illness ..misery giving up my home etc..I THINK and hope I am on the right track..

I am doing challenge ready for biopsy as been so ill it all started after I had surgery and loads of antibiotics ..oh and also got made redundant after reporting sexual harrassement..so could be any one of these things that have triggered it..

My main symptoms are gi symptoms when it all started 14 months ago I had massive distention, constipation, diarreah, seizures, really bad deppression, anxiety, low self esteem, heart burn, pains in stomach, thick rash thing at base of my bum crack excuse my explanation!!!! I do suffer from herpes and thought it was that but I dont think it was now I am looking into this whole celiac thing..

Also, today my lip looks like I ve had btox and I have what I thought was a cold sore but does anyone get lots of little blisters on thier lips? I have 4 on my lip and one on my skin below my lip and you dont normally get them there do you??

May be its the stress of the challenge as I feel so ruff all the time and I am going out of my mind stuck in here as never feel up to go anywhere and I ve been signed off work til test got another 2 1/2 weeks yet ..

Oh well at least the sun is shinning ahey ...hope your all getting better..better..or recovering well

Take care everyone

:)Mand

just spreading some thoughts to people:

anyway, anyone who sees this should attempt a "no table salt or iodized salty food diet" for a few weeks. if you have the same lip/mouth area dh/acne then its worth doing. i have also changed my soap from the dial gel which you need the sponge thingy to a bar of white ivory.

if you do this lmk how it works out for you, also kosher salt is okay, so if you do and want to go out to eat bring a little w/ you.

only the best,

thanks about that tip about no salt. I have Dh and my son gets the mouth and lip blisters. So I hope this will make it better for both of us.

I only use dove, is that close enough to white ivory, or shouild i change to that.

not sure about dove, but i was told that as long as its not colored soap then it should be okay and that is what im going by. not exactly the most scientific approach, but it seems to be fine.

anyways, w/ the salt though i do recommend that you avoid iodized salt and anything salty for a few weeks and see how it goes. it can difficult, but just eat more fruit and you'll be fine!

lmk how it goes,

Stick with your Dove. They are safe. It is not the coloring in the soaps and shampoos and such we need to be careful of as 'Vitamin E', may be from wheat or soy, oats, wheat germ oil, and some of the vehicles for fragrances. Most products have a phone number or web site the safest thing to do with everything is to call the number. As a bonus many times the company will offer to send coupons or samples. Makes it doubly worth the call.

      Welcome to the forum, @Mmoc! Please include the reference ranges for the IGA and the TTG tests in your next post if you have access to them. We cannot comment much otherwise as different labs use different reference ranges for these tests and also different units of measurement. There are no universal standards as of yet so the raw test numbers are not always helpful. Having said that, if your IGA (what we usually call "total IGA") is low, the TTG-IGA score will be skewed and cannot be trusted. Other kinds of tests for celiac disease would need to be run, particularly those in the IGG family of tests. Perhaps this will be helpful:

      Hi there any advice welcomed. I have had 4 years of symptoms ranging from immune related anaphylactic symptom sudden onset food allergy to peppers/paprika/chilli/capsicum family derivatives. all these allergies fizzled out and following a food challenge test in hospital I reintroduced them a few months ago. Since then my digestive system is a mess. i have since noticed that 4 years ago when testing for iga allergies my iga level was .62 and my ttg was less than .1 (due to symptoms I was probably eating very plainly at that time). should I insist on being retested for celiac? I’ve since read two indicators for celiac include: sensitive to spicy foods when in flare up tooth enamel weakness and symmetrical discolouration patches on teeth which I have had since childhood on my two front teeth     thanks

      This article does not address migraines at all.  Yes, red wine and sulfites are often mentioned in connection with migraine triggers. With me, any kind of alcoholic beverage in very modest amounts will reliably produce a migraine. Nitrous oxide generators, which are vaso dialators, also will give me migraines reliably. So, I think most of my migraines are tied to fluctuations vascular tension and blood flow to the brain. That's why the sumatriptan works so well. It is a vaso constrictor.

      Excessive dietary tyrosine can cause problems.  Everything in moderation.   Sulfites can also trigger migraines. Sulfites are found in fermented, pickled and aged foods, like cheese.  Sulfites cause a high histamine release.  High histamine levels are found in migraine.  Following a low histamine diet like the low histamine Autoimmune Protocol diet, a Paleo diet, helps immensely.    Sulfites and other migraine trigger foods can cause changes in the gut microbiome.  These bad bacteria can increase the incidence of migraines, increasing histamine and inflammation leading to increased gut permeability (leaky gut), SIBO, and higher systemic inflammation.   A Ketogenic diet can reduce the incidence of migraine.  A Paleo diet like the AIP diet, that restricts carbohydrates (like from starchy vegetables) becomes a ketogenic diet.  This diet also changes the microbiome, eliminating the bad bacteria and SIBO that cause an increase in histamine, inflammation and migraine.  Fewer bad bacteria reduces inflammation, lowers migraine frequency, and improves leaky gut. Since I started following the low histamine ketogenic AIP paleo diet, I rarely get migraine.  Yes, I do eat carbs occasionally now, rice or potato, but still no migraines.  Feed your body right, feed your intestinal bacteria right, you'll feel better.  Good intestinal bacteria actually make your mental health better, too.  I had to decide to change my diet drastically in order to feel better all the time, not just to satisfy my taste buds.  I chose to eat so I would feel better all the time.  I do like dark chocolate (a migraine trigger), but now I can indulge occasionally without a migraine after.   Microbiota alterations are related to migraine food triggers and inflammatory markers in chronic migraine patients with medication overuse headache https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC11546420/

      Then we would need to cut out all meat and fish as they are richer sources of tyrosine than nuts and cheese. Something else about certain tyrosine rich foods must be the actual culprit.
