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.

      You have one gene for Celiac.  You have a second autoimmune disease, Hashimoto's thyroiditis, which is frequently found at a higher rate with Celiac.  HLA genes carry autoimmune disease genes like Celiac and Hashimoto's and diabetes and others.   You have Celiac symptoms of reacting after gluten.  You said "I am however still suffering from the effects of the gluten challenge (food sensitivities, slight brain fog, weird stool, fatigue, swollen thyroid, bodyaches)."  And your anti-thyroid antibodies increase after gluten exposure.  While tTg IgA does not directly attack the thyroid, gluten exposure does trigger the  immune system to produce antibodies against the thyroid in genetically predisposed individuals.  You did not eat sufficient gluten (10 grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum) to raise the autoimmune antibodies to the point they can be measured in the blood, so your blood tests may well be inaccurate.  You could choose to continue the gluten challenge of 10 grams a day for at least two weeks and get retested.   At the very least, you know that gluten is harmful to your thyroid, and because you are genetically predisposed to Celiac disease, a strict gluten free diet would be beneficial for your overall health.

      Thanks @Scott Adams! I guess my question now is: do the celiacs who can get away with regular contamination without villi damage as you mentioned have to be strict about cross-contamination ? 
    • Zuma888
      Thank you very much @knitty kitty! I'm glad you brought up the point about histamine. I have been taking an antihistamine after meals where I don't feel so good and never knew why it helped so much. At first I thought I might have a food allergy, but I recently did a food allergy test and I actually have ZERO food allergies. Regarding your last point about the stages of grief, are you saying it's likely that I have celiac? I have Hashimoto's BTW and I know for sure that gluten causes an autoimmune response to my thyroid as my anti-TPO and anti-Tg go up and my throat feels swollen. Could the symptoms be due to that autoimmune response?
    • knitty kitty
      @Zuma888, The antibodies produced in response to gluten are made in the intestines.  When the body is provoked sufficiently, the antibodies overflow out of the intestines and into the blood stream.  Once in the blood stream, the antibodies can be measured with tTg IgA tests.  Three grams of gluten per day for two weeks minimum is enough gluten to make you feel the symptoms of having been glutened, but the antibodies are not in sufficient quantity to be measured in the blood. Ten grams of gluten per day for a minimum of two weeks is required to get the anti gluten antibodies at a high enough level in the blood stream to be measured by tTg IgA tests. So, no, occasional cross contamination or (heaven forbid) intentional cheat days will not be sufficient for tTg IgA testing.  You will still be making antibodies which will still be causing inflammation and damage to the intestines and body.  Histamine is released as part of the immune response to gluten.  High histamine levels lead to food sensitivities, brain fog, and body aches.   The damage done to the gastrointestinal tract affects the absorption of essential vitamins and minerals.  Malabsorption of fats can cause changes in stools.  Insufficient absorption of vitamins and minerals can cause damage to other organs like the thyroid if it can't get enough Selenium, iodine, iron, zinc, and Thiamine.  Brain fog and fatigue can be caused by low Thiamine and other B Complex vitamins.  Vitamin D is needed to regulate the immune system.  One gene is all that's needed to develop Celiac disease.  I know a Celiac diagnosis is a change that can be difficult to get your head around.  Many people go through the five stages of grief.  One stage is "bargaining".  Sounds like you're stuck there.  Every little cheat counts to your detriment.  But sticking to a gluten free diet, makes every meal a success.   Read the comments below the article... Best wishes!  Keep us posted on your progress!
