Today I Started My New Life


Amy Joe

Recommended Posts

Amy Joe Rookie

It's official! I started today. Doc asked if I need to visit with a dietitian before I go gluten free or wait till the 15th, see how I do....take notes and we can talk. I am gonna go at it and see how it goes then see him on the 15th. This will give me a chance to feel my way around and keep a log of questions for him.

I did go online and found all the medications I currently take and they are Gluten Free. So that is good.

We talked about the COST. Like 232% higher then a regular diet. Have done a ton of reading, being a pretty good cook I am determined to make as much from scratch as possible. It is very handy that my daughter nannied for 3 boys that had a gluten allergy, she did a lot of cooking for them and knows her way around the stores.

I need to get vitamins, he said start taking A, K , E and continue with my D 100,000IU per week. I am to ask my pharmacist to help me with making sure they are the right kinds.

All my other stuff from biopsy we will cover when I sit with him on the 15th.

I really hope that my energy level picks up. I also hope my 3 kids come back Negative, 2 of which have Hashimotos......

Thank you all for making me feel welcome. This is my second support group I find I need. ASAP.org has been my lifeline during Chiari Dx....and surgery recovery.

Be Blessed

Amy Joe

The food may be more expensive but the cost of being sick all the time is very high!

      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.
