Hmmmm I was trying to say that having fillings isn't equivalent to having mercury poisoning.

I'm sure there's a long list of possible causes to your symptoms.

Didn't you say you had the white tongue?

With Candida, eating foods that feed it causes all sorts of mental issues, including brain fog/"stupidity" & ocular migraines etc.

Getting well may involve peeling layers of illness away, so peel away! :)

If at some point you begin to think that "that little piece of bread" might be lots more powerful than you can imagine then you know this site is here to help and support you with that. :)

I don't know of any mercury sites but perhaps others do. :)

As to the onset after your tonsils there are all sorts of contributing factors to tipping from wellness into illness. I suspect that food additives contributed to your hyperactivity but that is just from watching my own nephews and nieces on sugar and MSG in the chips and .....

tom, please go to youtube.com, and type in "smoking teeth". ive known my symptoms for a long time. that makes me very angry that there are still some people who haven't heard the full extent of my story. countless doctor visits, hours every day in the library, test after test after test. tom there's a wonderfull story to be heard! just ask and i'll tell you, im sure it'll blow your mind to hear a 19 year old who, for all intents and purposes, has it all and should not be depressed, become his own doctor after years and years of depression. why, it could be a f$#%in movie!

i read that mercury can cause candida but im going in circles, 1st thing's first. i know what the problem is , scientifically, and it's a gut feeling. im just gonna go with it and i'll tell you what happens next monday. but man, it's gonna hurt. i know it.

ok ill schedule a test but i didn't feel any different gluten free...i hope i don't have celiac. it'll be too hard to avoid it for a life time. ok. here's what i'll do:

but in exchange i want to talk to someone who has been poisoned, long term, by mercury fillings and has overcame it.

Knowing what I know about both, I'd MUCH rather have celiac than mercury poisoning!

I'm curious as to why you came to this site if you were convinced it was mercury in the first place- don't take that offensively, I sincerely am curious.

It's worrisome to see you put all your eggs in this one basket.

I agree with this and what Rinne said- peel away at the layers and DO NOT give up!

well it was a matter of check and test, a LOT of checking and testing, and basically the only thing that remains that is totally plausible to my symptoms is this. i just wish i stumbled upon it sooner, or at least a smart doctor tell me. its really sad, but then again they just did they're best.

I agree with this and what Rinne said- peel away at the layers and DO NOT give up!

thank you so much guys!

Mr. Moore,

I'm not certain you've given the gluten-free diet a long enough trial. And I truly feel you could benefit from trying the Failsafe diet also. I mean, you may need both, from what you've posted elsewhere about MSG.

You might need to deal with the mercury too, I don't have any knowledge on that topic, but have you been tested for heavy metals?

best wishes

thank you so much guys!

You are very welcome. :)

I learned through being here that just knowing there were people going through what I was going through, being sick and alone and afraid, made an enormous difference. I found that just knowing others wished me well made me feel better and that wishing others well made me feel better too. :)

The vision problems you describe sound an awful lot like ocular migraines.

I get migraine auras w/out the head ache--they are called scintillating scotoma.

Is this what you experience Open Original Shared Link ?

i don't understand why know one believes this could help. ive done all the work in my head and ive been to countless doctors and given countless diagnoses and drugs. ive found a reason for all of it, so why i can't i get some kudos?

besides i could be psychotic and would switching foods really help that? i am not saying i am psychotic but i do wonder sometimess, (ive been given anti psychotics. deep down my thought process was just fine, but my vision was still weird and creepy and i still had noise in my ears, which made me think i was crazy.)

besides i KNOW it won't cure my depression or anything, but i have read so much on how it mercury messes with people. my mom's friend had a friend with MS who got a lot of relief when she had her's removed. not that i have ms but...you know.

i guess mostly im dissapointed at how people who believe in diets, food allergies and msg couldn't throw a bone to a desperate guy. has anyone here gotten their fillings replaced?

Mr. Moore, I don't see here if you answered the question, are you still gluten free or not? Diet is huge here. I did not stop the ear ringing until I was gluten, soy, corn, lugume free for a few months and I still have an ear tube in the left, that constantly needs replacement because it falls out and my ear remains plugged 24-7. I have an appointment again this week, because my new tube (one week old) is plugged or something. Your talking to someone who has the same ear and eye symptoms as you. Trust me, it could be your diet, believe it or not. I have old mercury fillings too, but my ears stopped ringing and the visual is much less now. I do "Oil Pulling" for detox of mercury and to heal my gum disease. You might want to google it.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped. It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition. Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here. Malnutrition...

      Hi…Just a note that if you have an allergy to sulfa it’s best not to take Benfotiamine. I bought a bottle and tried one without looking into it first and didn’t feel well. I checked with my pharmacist and he said not to take it with a known sulfa allergy. I was really bummed because I thought it would help my energy level, but I was thankful I was given...

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals. Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D. By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease. You got it from your mom or dad. Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms...

      Recovery from gluten challenge

      Hopefully the food she eats away from home, especially at school, is 100% gluten-free. If you haven't checked in with the school directly about this, it might be worth a planned visit with their staff to make sure her food is safe.

      @NanceK, I do have Hypersensitivity Type Four reaction to Sulfa drugs, a sulfa allergy.  Benfotiamine and other forms of Thiamine do not bother me at all.  There's sulfur in all kinds of Thiamine, yet our bodies must have it as an essential nutrient to make life sustaining enzymes.  The sulfur in thiamine is in a ring which does not trigger sulfa allergy like sulfites in a chain found in pharmaceuticals.  Doctors are not given sufficient education in nutrition (nor chemistry in this case).  I studied Nutrition before earning a degree in Microbiology.  I wanted to know what vitamins were doing inside the body.   Thiamine is safe and nontoxic even in high doses.   Not feeling well after starting Benfotiamine is normal.  It's called the "thiamine paradox" and is equivalent to an engine backfiring if it's not been cranked up for a while.  Mine went away in about three days.  I took a B Complex, magnesium and added molybdenum for a few weeks. It's important to add a B Complex with all eight essential B vitamins. Supplementing just one B vitamin can cause lows in some of the others and result in feeling worse, too.  Celiac Disease causes malabsorption of all the B vitamins, not just thiamine.  You need all eight.  Thiamine forms including Benfotiamine interact with each of the other B vitamins in some way.  It's important to add a magnesium glycinate or chelate supplement as well.  Forms of Thiamine including Benfotiamine need magnesium to make those life sustaining enzymes.  (Don't use magnesium oxide.  It's not absorbed well.  It pulls water into the intestines and is used to relieve constipation.)   Molybdenum is a trace mineral that helps the body utilize forms of Thiamine.   Molybdenum supplements are available over the counter.  It's not unusual to be low in molybdenum if low in thiamine.   I do hope you will add the necessary supplements and try Benfotiamine again.

      Your goal is not to be a good puppet, there is no gain in that. You might want to restart the ones that helped.  It sounds more like you are suffering from malnutrition.  Gluten free foods are not fortified with things like Thiamine (B1), vitamin D, Iodine, B1,2,3,5,6 and 12 as non-gluten free products are required to be. There is a Catch-22 here.  Malnutrition can cause SIBO, and SIBO can worsen malnutrition. Another possibility is side effects from any medication that are taking.  I was on Metformin 3 months before it turned me into a zombi.  I had crippling side effects from most of the BP meds tried on me, and Losartan has many of the side effects on me from my pre gluten free days. Because you have been gluten free, you can test and talk until you are blue in the face but all of your tests will be negative.  Without gluten, you will not create the antigen against gluten, no antigens to gluten, so no small intestine damage from the antigens.  You will need to do a gluten challange to test positive if you need an official diagnosis, and even then, no guaranty: 10 g of gluten per day for 6 weeks! Then a full panel of Celiac tests and biopsy. At a minimum consider vitamin D, Liquid Iodine (unless you have dermatitis herpetiformis and iodine exasperates the rash), and Liquid Geritol. Push for vitamin D testing and a consult with a nutritionist experienced with Celiack Disease.  Most blood tests don't indicate nutritional deficiencies.  Your thyroid tests can be perfect, yet not indicate iodine deficiency for example.  Thiamine   test fine, but not pick up on beriberi.  Vegans are often B12 deficient because meat, fish, poultry, eggs, and dairy are the primary souces of B12. Here is what I take daily.  10,000 IU vitamin D3 750 mg g a b a [   ] 200 mg CoQ10 [   ] 100 mg DHEA [   ] 250 mg thiamine B1 [   ] 100 mg of B2 [   ] 500 mg B5 pantothenic acid [   ] 100 mg B6 [   ] 1000 micrograms B12 n [   ] 500 mg vitamin c [   ] 500 mg taurine [   ] 200 mg selenium

      Hello @Scatterbrain, Are you getting enough vitamins and minerals.  Gluten free food is not fortified so you may be starting to run low on B vitamins and vitamin D.   By the way you should get your mom checked for celiac disease.  You got it from your mom or dad.  Some studies show that following a gluten-free diet can stabilize or improve symptoms of dementia.  I know that for the 63 years I was eating gluten I got dumber and dumber until I started GFD and vitamin replenishment and it began to reverse.  Thiamine can get used up in a week or two.  Symptoms can come and go with daily diet.  Symptoms of beriberi due to Thiamine deficiency.   Difficulty walking. Loss of feeling (sensation) in hands and feet. Loss of muscle function or paralysis of the lower legs. Mental confusion. Pain. Speech difficulties. Strange eye movements (nystagmus) Tingling. Any change in medications? Last March I had corotid artery surgery (90 % blockage), and I started taking Losartan for blood pressure, added to the Clonidine I was taking already.  I was not recovering well and many of my pre gluten free symptoms were back  I was getting worse.  At first I thought it was caused a reaction to the anesthesia from the surgery, but that should have improved after two weeks.  Doctor thought I was just being a wimp. After three months I talked to my doctor about a break from the Losartan to see if it was causing it. It had not made any difference in my bp.  Except for clonindine, all of the previous bp meds tried had not worked to lower bp and had crippling side effects. One, I could not stand up straight; one wobbly knees, another spayed feet.  Inguinal hernia from the Lisinopril cough.  Had I contiued on those, I was destined for a wheelchair or walker. She said the symptoms were not from Losartan so I continued taking it.  Two weeks later I did not have the strength in hips and thighs to get up from sitting on the floor (Help, I can't get up😨).  I stopped AMA (not recommended).  Without the Losartan, a) bp did not change, after the 72 hour withdrawal from Losartanon, on clonidine only and b) symptoms started going away.  Improvement started in 72 hours.  After six weeks they were gone and I am getting better.
