Hi Paula,

When I went on the phase I anti candida/fungus lifestyle, actually all of my allergy symptoms went away including my sleep apnea and restlesslegs.

The only grains that I was allowed were whole oats and whole grain brown rice which for me really helped my celiac condition that I did not know I had. I ate that way for 8 years.

Then when I started adding whole wheat back into my diet I started getting worse and that is when I explored the celiac thing and came to this forum to read more.

No sugars of anykind natural or otherwise and no refined flours of anykind. Oh, the acid reflux went away too. Anti fungals of the natural sort helped speed things up.

I tested myself by putting baked potatoes back in my diet and bam! full fungus is back again. So, I'm back on anti fungal, anti gluten, and no more potatoes. Sure did enjoy them but fed the fungus seeds still there apparently.

Lab tests to induce diabetes and cancer in mice use fungus injections. For the diabetes, they take it from the skin of the potato. I also saw a lab where they grew corn plants with fungus to see if they were resistant to it in potato starch media. So, I knew well the link with potatoes but thought I would try again to be sure! It seems eating was so limited with anti fungal and anti gluten that I thought to give it a try. I'm so sorry now that I did this.

Back to square one....

Paula, my dad has really bad seasonal allergies and he takes fenugreek capsules.

I don't know anything about it, but this is what was recommended to him at the health food store.

Excellent suggestion, can't believe I forgot about this one.

Paula just make sure you use good quality water, not the stuff coming out of your faucets.

First time you do it, do it in the shower, cuz if you're not used to it, you can make a BIG mess........

(Yes, I'm speaking from personal experience.)

Also, resist the urge to swallow while doing it if the solution feels like it's going down your throat. Just adjust the position of your head a little. It takes a couple times to get it to where it works right for you, but after that it's great.

Paula :D

You can use lukewarm water and salt. I use 1/4 teaspoon sea salt to 1 cup water.

Try this--lean over the sink and turn your head to the side, keeping your chin out a bit. Pour the solution into your nostril while breathing through your mouth. Go slow and try to relax. As you begin to feel the solution running out, slowly adjust your head if need be.

Gently blow your nose as soon as you finish with each side.

You'll get the hang of it :)

Ok thank you, well i was so excited to try it out yesterday i ran to try it before reading instructions lol. I didnt think i would have to, but needless to say i needed to. Im going to wait til my hubby is home before i try again lol.

Thanks for letting me know you can use sea salt, since hubby and stepson and I are going to be doing them, i will save money using sea salt then always buying the packets lol

Since you said it felt like it was going to 'come out your ears', do you think it could help for plugged ear from swimmers ear..........to help un plug it?

Paula, that happened to me too the first time I tried it. It does take some trial and error to get the technique down.

Going slowly like Patti suggested is a good idea, then once you have the alignment right it will go pretty smoothly.

Hence the shower suggestion. I'm too much of a klutz to trust myself with one of those thing with CLOTHES on....

You don't actually even need to buy a neti pot, they're kinda expensive. I bought one of those huge-normous 1-ounce syringes you use to do meat with? Don't use the metal needle and just use the plastic part to squirt the stuff up your nose. I also just use saltwater.

i also make sure I use local honey and use it often during allergy season, works for me for my outdoor stuff.

      is my celiac disease gone?

      By Wheatwacked · Posted

      I get my supplements f from Pipingrock.com close to 10 years now. Good quality, prices, ship  worldwide.  My 25(OH)D is at 93 ng/ml after 10 years taking. In 2019 it had still only gotten to 47 ng/ml.  Celiac Disease causes low D from malabsorption. High Potency Vitamin D3, 10,000 IU, 250 Quick Release Softgels 4.8 out of 5 stars, average rating value. Read 1662 Reviews. Sale price$10.70 Regular price$21.39 Basil Carcinoma.  Basil cell carcinoma is the result of failure of the immune system to recognize fauty DNA in cells. It is iodine that causes apoptosis, killing old and defective cells.  Not enough vitamin D to control the immune system and not enough iodine to do the job.  I had a sebaceous cyst, my seventh facial cyst, in 2014.  It started looking like a blackhead, but grew (Third eye blind).  All my 7 previous cysts had drained and healed normally.  When I drained this, there was a hairball the size of a BB and it would not heal.  This was one of many reasons I started Gluten Free.  I chose to not have it surgically removed, because I realized I had nutrient deficiencies that were causing slow healing.  By 2015 I realized it was Iodine deficiency and started eating seaweed, which helped my muscle tone, but not the healing.  The warnings on iodine from the gov't were so scary, I was afraid to use them.  Turns out it is all based on one study on rats in 1948. "The Wolff-Chaikoff Effect:   Crying Wolf?"   Last year I started taking 600 mcg a day and it is reversing my glaucoma and fixing muscle tone, hair nails and skin all returning to healthy,  Brain fog, which had improved dramatically on Gluten Free diet, my thinking got even clearer with the iodine. Finally the cyst my bellwether since 2014, began to heal.  So I had it biopsied  in July 2025, came back basal cell carcinoma.  With the Iodine (Piping Rock Liquid Iodine 12 drops a day 😃 = 600 mcg) is healing normally and I have a follow up in December.  By then it will have healed.  It is scabbing over like a normal wound.  In 1970 the US stopped using Iodine as a dough modifier.  The daily intake of Iodine dropped in the US 50% between 1970 and 1984.  Also, prescriptions for thyroxine have doubled.  150 mcg the RDA is not enough for anything more than preventing goiter.  Growing up in the sixties just 2 slices of bread had 200 micrograms of iodine, add a glass of milk and iodized salt and you're at 300 mcg a day.  The safe upper tolerable limit in the US is 1000 mcg.  In Japan it is 3000 mcg and the average Japanese, traditional diet, averages above 1000 mcg.  Remember when in the 80's our schools were loosing competitions to Japanese schools?  Iodine.  And Japan has 50% less breast cancer.  Nicer hair nails and skin.  It the US our kids are getting dumber, more flabby.  Fertility is dependant on enough iodine, also. 600 mcg.

      Your high lactulose test, indicating out of control Small Itenstinal Bacterial O,vergrowth is one symptom.  You likely have low vitamin D, another symptom.  Unless you get lots of sun.   Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption, often leading to subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  A lot of people have these symptoms just before an acute phase of Celiac Disease.  Each of the symptoms can have multiple causes that are not celiac disease,  but when you start having multiple symptoms,  and each symptom is treated as a separate disease,  you have to think, maybe these are all one cause. celiac disease. There is a misconception that Celiac Disease is  a gastrointestinal disease and symptoms are only gastro related.  Wrong.  It is an autoimmune disease and has many symptoms that usually are disregarded.  I made that mistake until 63 y.o.  It can cause a dermatitis herpetiformis rash,  white spots on the brain.  It caused my alcoholism, arthritis, congested sineses, protein spots on my contacts lenses, swollen prostate, symptoms that are "part of aging". You may be tolerating gluten, the damage will happen. Of curiosity though, your age, sex, are you outside a lot without sunscreen?

      It would be interesting to see if you were tested again for blood antibodies after abandoning the gluten free diet for several weeks to a few months what the results would be. Don't misunderstand me. I'm not necessarily suggesting you do this but it is an option to think about. I guess I'm saying there is a question in my mind as to whether you actually ever had celiac disease. As I said above, the blood antibody testing can yield false positives. And it is also true that celiac-like symptoms can be produced by other medical conditions.
