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

      Imemsm, Most of us have experienced discontinued, not currently available or products that suddenly become seasonal.   My biggest fear about relocating from Maryland to Florida 5 years ago, was being able to find gluten-free foods that fit my restricted diet.  I soon found out that the Win Dixie and Publix supper markets actually has 99% of their gluten-free foods tagged, next to the price.  The gluten-free tags opened up a  lot of foods that aren't actually marked gluten-free by the manufacture.  Now I only need to check for my other dietary restrictions.  Where my son lives in New Hartford, New York there's a Hannaford Supermarket that also has a gluten-free tag next to the price tag.  Hopefully you can locate a Supermarket within a reasonable travel distance that you can learn what foods to check out at a Supermarket close to you.  I have dermatitis herpetiformis too and I'm very sensitive to gluten and the three stores I named were very gluten-free friendly.  Good Luck

      Okay well the info about TTG-A actually makes a lot of sense and I wish the PA had explained that to me. But yes, I would assume I would have intestinal damage from eating a lot of gluten for 32 years while having all these symptoms. As far as avoiding gluten foods - I was definitely not doing that. Bread, pasta, quesadillas (with flour tortillas) and crackers are my 4 favorite foods and I ate at least one of those things multiple times a day e.g. breakfast with eggs and toast, a cheese quesadilla for lunch, and pasta for dinner, and crackers and cheese as a before bed snack. I'm not even kidding.  I'm not really big on sugar, so I don't really do sweets. I don't have any of those conditions.  I am not sure if I have the genes or not. When the geneticist did my genetic testing for EDS this year, I didn't think to ask for him to request the celiac genes so they didn't test for them, unfortunately.  I guess another expectation I had is  that if gluten was the issue, the gluten-free diet would make me feel better, and I'm 3 months in and that hasn't been the case. I am being very careful and reading every label because I didn't want to screw this up and have to do gluten-free for longer than necessary if I end up not having celiac. I'm literally checking everything, even tea and anything else prepacked like caramel dip. Honestly its making me anxious 😅

      So you're saying that you think you should have severe intestinal damage since you've had the symptoms so long?   DGP IgG antibodies are produced in response to a partial gluten molecule.  This is different than what tissue transglutaminase antibodies are  produced in response to.   TTg IgA antibodies are produced in the intestines in response to gluten.  The tTg IgA antibodies attack our own cells because a structural component in our cell membranes resembles a part of gluten.  There's a correlation between the level of intestinal damage with the level of tTg antibodies produced.  You are not producing a high number of tTg IgA antibodies, so your level of tissue damage in your intestines is not very bad.  Be thankful.   There may be reasons why you are not producing a high quantity of tTg IgA antibodies.  Consuming ten grams or more of gluten a day for two weeks to two months before blood tests are done is required to get sufficient antibody production and damage to the intestines.  Some undiagnosed people tend to subconsciously avoid lots of gluten.  Cookies and cakes do not contain as much gluten as artisan breads and thick chewy pizza crust.  Anemia, diabetes and thiamine deficiency can affect IgA antibody production as well.   Do you carry genes for Celiac?  They frequently go along with EDS.

      I was tested for celiac at the same time, so I wasn't taking naltrexone yet. I say that, because I don't. The endoscopy showed some mild inflammation but was inconclusive as to celiac disease. They took several biopsies and that's all that was shown. I was not given a Marsh score.
    • knitty kitty
      Food and environmental allergies involve IgE antibodies.  IgE antibodies provoke histamine release from mast cells.   Celiac disease is not always visible to the naked eye during endoscopy.  Much of the damage is microscopic and patchy or out of reach of the scope.  Did they take any biopsies of your small intestine for a pathologist to examine?  Were you given a Marsh score? Why do you say you "don't have intestinal damage to correlate with lifelong undiagnosed celiac disease"?   Just curious.
