Made Myself Sick

HI everyone

I made myself so sick this weekened. Guess what I did? I left a molded lemon in my cabinet and was inhaling and eating the spores. Yes It's true. So I have had pop rock candy guts allll this time. I also feel sooo hungry even after i eat and I am losing weight drastically. 96 pounds has anyone been this thin before. I don't know what to do. Should I open the doors or keep them closed or what? Should I take a probiotic even if I have mercury and candida already. I don't know. Rachel what do you think is the best to do in this situation. I was wondering if I should take seacure to keep the weight on but you said it might not work. I am desperated. the dentist won't see me till the 15 of may. He will only work on one tooth at a time because of the immune system he said. If he does more my highly surpressed immune system will go down and the mercury will attack in full force. I am scared and worried. I feel sicker everyday and my bladder pain is worse. They have air filtration systems their also. The only dentist in fresno that has it. He knows what he is talking about. He gave me information on mercury and what it can do. 87% of people with multiple sclerosis got better or cured after the mercury was out.

he gave me a facts sheet I will type more stuff later. I also had to take a blood test to show what kind of composites that he can work with to put back in my mouth since some composites will be more toxic than mercury because of the mercury in my system. A special lab had to do a in vitro test with the blood the different materials and mercury to see the reaction. The dentist can't just put anything in my teeth or mouth because later on it can be more toxic and I would never get better. Just pray that I will make It through this. I will pray for you all to.

Lisa, I'm sorry you are feeling bad.

I think your dentist is right in going slow with the amalgam removal since you are so sensitive. Anyone with mercury toxicity is going to have a candida problem because the body allows more candida to neutralize the mercury. I don't know that I'd mess with the candida until you are working on getting the mercury out.

I LOVE to air out my house. The first thing I do when it's nice outside is open the windows! I hate the dead of winter when the house is all closed up. The other option is an air cleaner.

I wouldn't think that one lemon would put that much mold into the air, but airing out the house is a good idea. I'd wash out where the lemon was, too.

I've heard about a lot of people around here being that thin before. Just keep eating right, and try to eat more often than you really want to. I found weight lifting to be a help because my body built up some muscle, but I'd avoid cardio right now if I were you.

Lisa,

Be really careful with mold. Hopefully you dont have any mold in your home....other than the lemon. I would definately air out the house but breathing the spores like you did could mess you up for awhile.

Also make sure you get rid of the lemon in an outside garbage.

I took the bloodtest to check for compatibility also. Its true that you could be sensitive to any materials they put in your mouth. Its a good idea to know whats safe so you dont end up with composites you're allergic to....which would make everything worse. It sounds like your dentist is really good. I'm gald you're in good hands.

I also like that hes only removing one filling at a time. As sick as you are right now...that is definately the best way to go about it. He doesnt want you to get too much exposure at one time. He's doing the best he can to not get you more sick during the process.

Hopefully he'll space out the removals so that your body has time to detox what it can in between...hopefully either your dentist or your Dr. will have you on detox supplements to help your body deal with any exposure you may have during the removal. It should be very minimal because he's got the right equipment...but still...you need all the protection you can get.

I wasnt sick at all before my amalgam removal. I didnt really want them taken out but one of them was broken and the dentist said the other one was deteriorating...so he needed to replace them. I didnt know anything about mercury at that time. He didnt use anything to protect me...just drilled them out.

Thats how I got sick...right after that I started getting all the symptoms and reacting to chemicals, foods, molds and everything else. It happened really fast...within weeks I was on disability. :(

Personally I would not take the SeaCure or the probiotics or anything else right now. SeaCure got me alot sicker. I lost all kinds of weight and couldnt gain anything back. I was at 94 lbs. and I didnt start gaining until I stopped the supplements...all of them....even the probiotics.

Once I stopped taking supplements I gained more than 10 lbs. and my weight has been stable ever since. Its been about a year now....my weights been stable at 110. I cant gain anything more but at least I'm not losing.

My body cant process alot of this stuff so even if its "suppossed" to be good...its not necessarily good for ME. Some of it can be quite bad or even toxic because it doesnt get utilized the way it should or the immune system is reactive to it.

I would stop taking supplements and see how you feel after a few weeks. If you want you can always try them again...one at a time though...so you can see if you develop problems or additional symptoms.

I know SeaCuRE affected me in a bad way. I wouldnt take it...after all its FISH. :o

It might contain mercury...I dont know but I did get ALOT worse taking the SeaCure. <_<

I have it all written in my journals I was keeping back then....It was definately SeaCure making me sicker. I didnt ever think about the fact that it could contain mercury until you mentioned it a couple weeks ago...I think you're probably right about that!! It could definately explain why I was getting so much worse!!

I hope you feel better soon.

P.S.

I also responded to your post in the OMG thread. :)

Dear Lisa,

I was once down to 84 pounds! I was very ill. I still am, but now I am holding my weight (a bit too well, actually!) I could stand to lose a few now. Mold is difficult to avoid. It seems to be everywhere! Make sure you do not have it in your fridge. Spoiled food can trigger reactions even when you do not eat it! Keep your produce in the fridge. Really, when you have Candida, you are to not eat vinegar, leftovers (food 24 hours or more old), alcohol, fermented foods, fruit, refined carbohydrates, dairy or sugar. Yeast is also out in any form. I definitely feel worse on days it rains. It has been raining for three days now. Sunday we should finally get some sun again. Holding your weight is difficult at times. Candida can make you too thin or too fat.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      Thank you for your kind words and encouragement. This has been the most difficult and confusing journey to date for me, and it has been going on since 2015/2016. The last dietitian I met with works with a lot of celiac patients, so I was excited, but she just thought I should be able to eat gluten free (whatever that may be) stay in a carb count and my diabetes would not be affected. WRONG. I have tried this several times since I crossed over to full blown diabetes, because I get so sick eating gluten that I end up getting frustrated and go back to gluten free to get some relief. I have a continuous glucose monitor so it is easy to see how my body and glucose are reacting to foods. Unfortunately my suspicions are correct. When I eat gluten-free foods -like Schar breads or rolls, or the crackers, including when I stay in my carb limit,  my sugar spikes and just sits there.. .it won;t even come back down for hours. So in the end it drives my overall glucose and A1C up. I can't really even eat oats or things like that. Cereal is very iffy. Gluten free pizzas, gluten free nuggets, and things like that majorly spike my sugar as well, again, even when staying in my carb limits. I already feel so limited on foods because of the diabetes so of course, when medical people and family and friends are like just go eat gluten, I have been like oh okay - maybe it is all in my head and hey its way cheaper to eat gluten and tastes wayyy better...and then I end up right back where I am today,. MISERABLE, just laying around in pain, spending all day in the bathroom, having accidents related to diarrhea, constant tremors, heart rate issues, chest pain etc. and I forgot about these terrible painful canker sores in my mouth right now, I can't even hardly eat or drink or swallow they hurt so bad.  Not being able to feel like I can eat gluten free is extremely frustrating. I had some great recipes and substitutes for things, and was at a decent place with all that, until the diabetes went crazy out of control, so gluten-free living seems to not be an option for me. However, eating gluten when I truly still believe I am celiac -just misdiagnosed- does NOT seem like a wise idea. I am honestly scared  I am going to get deathly ill from all this or something. I even asked my GI doctor, more like begged, if he would please just label me as celiac and tell me I was for sure (like he did before) so I could get the support I truly need. No such luck. He just keeps saying but your tests were okay 🙄 My family went to an arcade and pizza/pasta buffet yesterday - obviously I didn't want to miss out spending time with my family and my mom spent money paying for my meal/buffet - and I was hungry, so of course I ended up eating pizza and pasta that was not gluten-free, because they don't offer any gluten-free options, and then my brother and others want to ask can you eat that or are you supposed to, and I am like well no, and I will definitely pay for it. They think it is hilarious when I say things and then make comments, like how it is so fun to go out with me especially places like that because I am not supposed to eat but I just do it anyway and say I will pay for it 😥 just seems everywhere I turn it is pointless and I have no support

      Just like you cannot be a little pregnant, you cannot be a little Celiac.  Here is an article I found that explains what the numbers mean. Are You Confused About Your Celiac Disease Lab Results? Here is another article about the non traditional symptoms of Celiac Disease. What Are the Symptoms of Celiac Disease? I've been taking 10,000 IU vitamin D3 since 2015.  My blood tests every 3 months for 25(OH)D have never gone above 93 ng/ml, even in the Florida summer.  70 - 100 is the body's natural homeostasis level. Surge of information on benefits of vitamin D "“When combined with supplemental magnesium, vitamin D repletion has dramatically changed my practice,” said McCarthy ... “There are now very few patients with infections, and asthmatics who are coming off medications are staying off of them. ... A lifeguard study that found vitamin D levels in the 70 ng/mL range up to 100 ng/mL (nature’s level) were associated with no adverse effects; ... Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;

      Interesting! Recent labs I had done did show that I was low in Vitamin D so I just began supplementing, it’s hard to tell so soon but it does seem to have a positive affect! Thanks for the input!

      Your frustration and exhaustion are completely valid, and many in the celiac and gluten-sensitive community can relate to the overwhelming confusion you're experiencing. You’re being pulled in different directions by medical advice that seems contradictory, and it’s heartbreaking that your efforts to feel better are met with so many setbacks. Positive TTG IgA antibodies are not something to brush off, especially when combined with your long list of debilitating symptoms that clearly worsen with gluten exposure. A negative biopsy does not necessarily mean you don’t have celiac disease—it’s entirely possible that damage was missed, especially since biopsy results can vary depending on where the samples are taken and how many are collected. It’s also true that celiac disease exists on a spectrum, and many people have serious symptoms and immune responses without yet showing classic biopsy damage. Managing diabetes alongside suspected or confirmed celiac disease is incredibly tricky, especially when healthcare providers don’t work as a team to support your whole health. You shouldn’t be forced to choose between controlling your blood sugar or protecting your gut and immune system. A well-planned gluten-free diet can be both nourishing and diabetes-friendly, especially with guidance from a knowledgeable dietitian who understands both conditions. It’s also deeply concerning that your symptoms—neurological issues, severe fatigue, GI distress, rashes, and more—are being dismissed. You’re not just describing discomfort; you’re describing a level of illness that’s life-altering, and your instincts that something is seriously wrong are absolutely worth trusting. You know your body better than anyone. You deserve a team that listens, believes you, and helps you build a realistic, sustainable path to healing. Whether it’s celiac disease, non-celiac gluten sensitivity, or something else, you have every right to go gluten-free permanently if that’s what makes you feel functional. Many people never get a “perfect” diagnosis but reclaim their health by honoring their own experience and choosing a path of least harm. You are not crazy, you are not weak, and you are not alone. Keep advocating for yourself—you and your daughter both deserve a healthier, more stable life.

      While a definitive causal link remains unclear, vitamin D's known role in immune modulation and intestinal barrier integrity suggests that it plays a significant role in the development and progression of celiac disease.  Reduced 25(OH)D levels are associated with celiac disease.  In celiac disease, gluten can damage these tight junctions, and vitamin D may play a protective role in this context.
