If You Can't Shake It, Read Your Labels

For two weeks now I've been sick...stomach sick...we have ate strictly at home and been feeling great.

Now it hasn't been bad just odd. Normally with glutening I get very sick for 1-2 days and I'm good. This has lingered on and except for last Saturday night which was the very painful boughts it hasn't followed the previous pattern.

I really thought I had a stomach/intestinal infection since I'm sick, and my wife has been sick too.

Things were much better and good to go...wake up last night shaking, cold sweats, nerves feel like they are burning. Here is a huge testimonial to Vitamin B and D. Since I read about that on here and taking them every day my entire life has straightened out. I always tell people I am 90-95 percent back to normal after given up gluten but there were a lot of yoyo days, not bad by any means but not really right. B&D which I've been taking daily for the past 3 months has totally fixed that.

Still had the stomach issues but no shaking, nerve problems, trouble sleeping, etc...all the things that come with me and gluten.

Last night all those showed up and the night before I was starting to not feel tired at night which is another side effect for me. I had skipped taking my B&D for 2 days, we've just been busy that if I don't take it in the early morning I skip it because I don't want to double up on the D3.

None of it made any sense except I've been taking a few Tums here and there. I knew Tums were gluten free but we had bought the smoothies last time around.

Look at the label, contains gluten :rolleyes:

Well crap :P

As with everytime you learn something new. The B&D really kept the other symptoms at bay, if I had not skipped them I'd continue to think I have some kind of infection but now I know. I take Omeprozole but was trying to cut down to 20mg from 40mg so I was taking a suppliment antiacid, which was tums smoothies.

So if you can't shake it, check the labels...

      The discovery of the vitamin D receptor in multiple immune cell lineages, such as monocytes, dendritic cells, and activated T cells credits vitamin D with a novel role in modulating immunological functions and its subsequent role in the development or prevention of autoimmune diseases.  The Implication of Vitamin D and Autoimmunity: a Comprehensive Review

      Definitely get vitamin D 25(OH)D.  Celiac Disease causes vitamin D deficiency and one of the functions of vitamin D is modulating the genes.  While we can survive with low vitamin D as an adaptation to living in a seasonal environment, the homeostasis is 200 nmol/L.  Vitamin D Receptors are found in nearly every cell with a nucleus,while the highest concentrations are in tissues like the intestine, kidney, parathyroid, and bone.  A cellular communication system, if you will. The vitamin D receptor: contemporary genomic approaches reveal new basic and translational insights  Possible Root Causes of Histamine Intolerance. "Low levels of certain nutrients like copper, Vitamins A, B6, and C can lead to histamine build up along with excess or deficient levels of iron. Iodine also plays a crucial role in histamine regulation."

      I forgot to mention my suspicion of the high amount of glyphosate allowed to be used on wheat in USA and NZ and Australia. My weight was 69kg mid-2023, I went down to 60kg in March 2024 and now hover around 63kg (just after winter here in NZ) - wheat-free and very low alcohol consumption.

      Hi Jess Thanks so much for your response and apologies for the long delay in answering. I think I must have been waiting for something to happen before I replied and unfortunately it fell off the radar... I have had an upper endoscopy and colonoscopy in the meantime (which revealed 'minor' issues only). Yes I do think histamine intolerance is one of the problems. I have been lowering my histamine intake and feeling a lot better. And I do think it is the liver which is giving the pain. I am currently taking zinc (I have had three low zinc tests now), magnesium, B complex, vitamin E and a calcium/Vitamin C mix. I consciously think about getting vitamin D outside. (Maybe I should have my vitamin D re-tested now...) I am still 100% gluten-free. My current thoughts on the cause of the problems is some, if not all, of the following: Genetically low zinc uptake, lack of vitamin D, wine drinking (alcohol/sulphites), covid, immune depletion, gastroparesis, dysbiosis, leaky gut, inability to process certain foods I am so much better than late 2023 so feel very positive 🙂

      Hi and thank you very much for your detailed response! I am so glad that the protocol worked so well for you and helped you to get your health back on track. I've heard of it helping other people too. One question I have is how did you maintain your weight on this diet? I really rely on nuts and rice to keep me at a steady weight because I tend to lose weight quickly and am having a hard time envisioning how to make it work, especially when not being able to eat things like nuts and avocados. In case you have any input, woud be great to hear it! Friendly greetings.
