Rough Week

Had the roughest week in the past 2 years (2 years trying to be gluten-free on the 21st)

Have to feel sorry for my wife and I know she feels bad.

Glutening #1

On Monday she decided to get a real bagel when I was out, missed some crumbs which got into something I tried to eat.

Sick with D and DH for 2 days.

Wednesday she tried to make up for it with a salad she made 10 times in the past few months. Within minutes I was sick again.

Tonight she made Pamala's brownie mix, that was it but again running back and forth to the throne room and all broken out with dh on top of the dh.

Sometimes its just rough trying to do it right!

Am sorry to hear its been so rough Ken! I think sometimes when its been so long it may be harder.

My sister Peggy is visiting from Southern California and she too got sick for the first time in 2 years. Sicker than a dog!! I am having her stay with me now rather than upstairs with our aged mother who hasn't completely cleaned up her act.

Hope you remember to take probiotics, marhsmallow root, slippery elm and the rest once you can tolerate anything. Peggy is doing much better using blackberry leaf tea--against the D.

Thanks Bea,

Usually I just sort of float around between my projects with no problems but for some reason last week was different.

I'm going to look for more S elm tomorrow and hope I can find it here. Leaving on the 29th so no time ot order from internet.

Hope your sister is better soon.

thanks again

Ya know, I bet if you ask really really nice, Collette would be happy to share some rain with you! Maybe you could even swap rain for warmth! :D Sounds like a win-win trade to me! :P

Seriously, hope you feel better soon!

      Severe severe mouth pain

      I agree. If someone has Barrett's Esophagus, at least here in the UK, as I understand it under normal circumstances a PPI needs to be taken long term (or similar medication). I have two friends with this. The PPI it does have side effects but they still have to take it.

      Severe severe mouth pain

      Do talk to your doctor about making changes to your medication. I'm not a medical doctor. I'm a microbiologist. I studied nutrition before switching to microbiology because I was curious what vitamins were doing inside the body. I would hate to give advice that jeopardizes your health, so do discuss things with your doctor.

      New issue

      @Jmartes71, Sorry you've been feeling so poorly. Are you taking any medication to treat the SIBO? Are you taking any Benfotiamine? Benfotiamine will help get control of the SIBO. Thiamine deficiency has symptoms in common with MS. Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks? Carbon Monoxide poisoning...

      Blood Test for Celiac wheat type matters?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States. In European countries, different cooking methods and longer fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat. Gluten content can...

      Severe severe mouth pain

      From my own experience and that of others who have tried to discontinue PPI use, I think your taper down plan is much too aggressive. It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound...

Have you had your gas appliances checked for gas leaks and exhaust fume leaks?  Carbon Monoxide poisoning can cause the same symptoms as the flu and glutening.  Doctors have to check venous blood (not arterial) for carbon monoxide.  Are other inhabitants sick, or just you?  Do they leave the house and get fresh air which relieves their symptoms?

      European wheat is often a "soft wheat" variety which contains less gluten than "hard wheat" varieties found in the States.   In European countries, different cooking methods and longer  fermentation (rising or proofing) times allow for further breakdown of gluten peptides. Wheat in the States is a blend of hard and soft wheat.  Gluten content can vary according to where the wheat was grown, growing conditions, when harvested, and local preference, so a blend of both hard and soft wheat is used to make a uniform product.   I moved around quite a bit as a child in a military family.  I had different reactions to gluten in different areas of the country every time we moved.  I believe some wheat breeds and blends are able to provoke a worse immune response than others.   Since European soft wheat doesn't contain as much gluten as American wheat, you may try increasing your intake of your soft wheat products.  A minimum of ten grams of gluten is required to get a sufficient immunological response so that the anti-gluten antibodies leave the intestines and enter the bloodstream where they can be measured by the tTg IgA test.  Your whole wheat bread may only have a gram of gluten per slice, so be prepared...

It took me months of very incremental tapering to get to the point where I felt I was succeeding and even then I had to rely some days on TUMS to squelch flareups. After about a year I felt I had finally won the battle. Rebound is real. If I were you I would aim at cutting back in weekly increments for two weeks at a time rather than daily increments. So, for instance, if you have been taking 2x20mg per day, the first week cut that down to 2x20mg for six days and 1x20 mg for the other day. Do that for two weeks and then cut down to 2x20mg for five days and 1x20 for two days. On the third week, go 20x2 for four days and 20x1 for 3 days. Give yourself a week to adjust for the reduced dosage rather than reducing it more each week. I hope this makes sense.
