I thought maybe you could help me figure ot what is wrong with me......you all are very knowledgeable and your insight might be very helpful.

When i wake up i feel hungover and really tired. I have had upper abdominal tenderness on my right side along my ribcage. have burning eyes a lot of the time and nausea usually just right when i wake up. When my stomach feels real sore i have a really dry mouth. My legs feel weak and stiff off and on, stiff neck and if i overexert myself, my stomach will get really tender (in the area of the liver). My thyroid has gone from 1.3 to 2.16 and i have an elevated liver enzyme of 52 (ALT) and all of the other enzymes are on the upper normal. I do have an H.Pylori infection (Biohealth) and abundant E. Coli. I am worrried if my liver is in danger. My ALT went from 26 to 52 in about 6 months and my liver is always really tender. I eat extremely simple and clean, so gluten is most likely not the problem. Before all of these problems started, even celiac disease, I got really sick where i was vomitting and pooping blood. I went to the hhospital and the bleeding stopped and they said i had the stomach flu. I have never been the same since. My brainfog has improved, but my body feels beat down. Im only 27. The best way i can describe how i feel is toxic. My eyes are always red and irritated, dry mouth, nausea, weak, upper abdominal tenderness (worse on empty stomach), moody. And my adrenals are out of whack. High cortisol in the morning and night, but normal in the day. Cortisol/Dhea ratio 9:1. Please help

Hello Wayne,

I have been reading your posts for a while now, and I feel so bad for you. Alot of what you said, is the way that I feel. Have the Drs ever checked to see if your gallbladder is still functioning? I know that when I was at my sickest, my liver functions were abnormal, and within the following months, it was removed, but....I still didn't feel better. I recently started seeing a ND, who I think has helped me to some degree. I am still loaded with fungal overgrowth and it is doing a number on my entire system.

Have you ever been tested for that? It seems like something toxic is pouring into your system and making you feel like crap...And I know, you're scared and fustrated. I get the weakness in my legs at times, muscles pains, tenderness in my abdomen. Do you have any Dr at this point that you think might be able to test you for foods that you might be allergic to? I hope you get some answers soon, and that you'll be on your way to feeling better. :)

H pylori can do a number to you along with ecoli. Also, when your body is overun by something it gives other things that may have been held in check the opportunity to proliferate.

I really recommend coming over to the OMG I Might Be On To Something thread and posting your story there. Some there have had h pylori and can see if their symtpoms match with yours or not. There are so many variables it could be or it might just be these two things you're dealing with.

Sounds like you need liver support. A good naturopath/holistic doctor or LLMD will be able to suggest what would be best.

I would also recommend muscle testing if you aren't against alternative treatment......in particular one called ART (autonomic response testing). If you are in the west it would be pretty easy to track down someone who does that, I'm guessing your in the SW or south midwest by an earlier picture you had. ART will tell you what your stressors are at this time and also what will be most effective in dealing with and supporting the body while treating it.

      It took 2 1/2 years for my levels to come down.  I don't understand your testing.  To be safe with my test I need to be <26.  When first tested my level was 272.  Maybe they are runing a different test now days.  I have a tTg IgA EMA ran yearly and it is sent to Mayo Clinic.  I have had Celiac since age 9 months and I am 76 now.  It took 50 years being sick, seizures arthritis, no Platlets, liver disease, no Vitamin D3, Anemia, Thyroid and Hashimotos, spains, boils breaking down my entire immune system. Have they ran a breathe test, SIBO test and a Fructose test?  Milk and sugar has the same effect as Celiac but doesn't damage the organs.

      In addition to cutting out oats, you may want to investigate any medications or supplements you're taking - they can sometimes contain gluten.  You can check medication ingredients online at sites like DailyMed (www.dailymed.nlm.nih.gov).

      thank yo, i still eat a bit of dairy and a fair amount of processed foods. I wonder if I have sibo... I will look into that

      I think the best you will be able to do is to find out if gluten, or at least wheat, barley or rye is an intentional ingredient in a smoke product and only the manufacturer can answer that question. Since smokes are regulated by the AFT and not the FDA, allergens are not required to be declared in the labeling.
