I Have A Really Tough Question.

Earlier in the week I ate 4 bananas for breakfast. I'm not sure why, but eating that many bananas stripped away all my stomach acid and further production is halted for a few days. My face would become flushed red also. I'm not joking at all. I didn't have any appetite for lunch or dinner. I ate anyways. A hamburger for lunch which made me feel sick and my skin turned pale. I'm not allergic to bananas. This always seems to happen when i consume good amounts of potassium. Apple cider vinegar has the same affect as well as oranges. I get extremely depressed during these days since stomach acid is needed for the production of serotonin.

My only guess is kinda 'out there' but here we go..

It is known that excessive copper in the body(which i have) slows down digestion. And potassium is a synergists (works with) to copper. So perhaps flooding my body with potassium strengthens copper levels thus increasing the side effects of a copper overload. Please help me. I'm only 21 years old, I shouldn't be having low stomach acid occurring like this. I'll continue to lower my possible high copper levels.

Wow! 4 bananas at one sitting is really alot, but I'm not throwing "stones" for last night even though I have been gluten free for a few weeks, I sat down and ate 2 large donuts and toco chips. Why we do this is is beyond me! But, for some reason, we do convince ourselves it's okay at the time.

Yes, in my opinion, you would have a reaction to that much bananas. Too much in yr colan and intestines at one time. One is enough. As far as the hamburger, have you had a food allergy blood test? When I had mine, there were so many things that popped up that I was not aware of that I was allergic too. Or, you could still be having the affects of the bananas... Becare in the meantime, keep a food diary each day w/out fail.......let the past be....let's try again tonite (me included) to get back on our food watch again. Good luck! d

It's the potassium in the bananas. 2 table spoons of apple cider vinegar or a few oranges seem to have the same affect on me. Maybe I will should take some potassium pills and experiment.

Mord, you might want to check with a doctor before you do some experimenting. ;)

Here is some resourse information for you. I'm not sure how much information you will find about Wilson's Disease on a forum specific for Celiac Disease.

Good luck.

Have you been tested for copper by a doctor or are you simply going off of info you have gotten of the net? There are treatments for it.

      It is more likely code for “we think there really was a good response to the treatment, but it was small or in a small percent of subjects so it would take a large clinical trial to try to prove it.”

      Celiac symptoms

      By Dana0207 · Posted

      Thank you so much for your replies. Luckily the rash went away when I completely swore off gluten. It took several months but I have not had a flare in months. So a biopsy is no longer possible. The itch was terrible and apart from bleaching my skin the steroid lotions and potions did nothing. The Gliadin is for accidents and shall be a part of my travel kit from now on. This past exposure has made a me a little leery about eating anything that was not cooked in my kitchen or a dedicated gluten-free restaurant. As much as I used to love baked goods, I am cured and have become quite the gluten free baker to the point that friends and family forget that my cakes/cookies/and bread are not "real". I guess I will have to wait for the new blood test to come out to get confirmation but I have a suspicion that the rash was dermatitis herpetiformis.

      Hello, I just wanted to share with the frustration of skin issues and seeing dermatologist and medications not working for years, I did my own healing experiment. As of last week I have been taking a drop internally under the tongue of Vetiver and putting on topically on sores Yellow/Pom.I am seeing a extreme difference at a rapid time.Im also noticing my nails a little harder. Ive always been into natural properties because I feel its safer for the body.I know short time, but really seeing a difference. I also feel the the trapped gases that causes bloating helps break down as well.Curious if any body else can benefit from and has tried. Products is made by Doterra by Dr Hill

      Celiac symptoms

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      I agree with @trents, and the rash you described, especially its location and resistance to steroids, sounds highly characteristic of dermatitis herpetiformis, which is the skin manifestation of celiac disease. The severe and prolonged reaction you're describing five days after a small exposure is, while extreme, not unheard of for those with a high sensitivity; the systemic inflammatory response can absolutely last for several days or even weeks, explaining why you still don't feel right. Your plan to avoid a formal gluten challenge is completely understandable given the severity of your reactions, and many choose the same path for their well-being. While experiences with GliadinX (they are a sponsor here) are mixed, some people do report a reduction in the severity of their symptoms when taken with accidental gluten, though it is crucial to remember it is not a cure or a license to eat gluten and its effectiveness can vary from person to person. For now, the absolute best advice is to continue being hyper-vigilant about cross-contamination—buffets are notoriously high-risk, even with good intentions. Connecting with a gastroenterologist and a dermatologist who specialize in celiac disease is essential for navigating diagnosis and management moving forward. Wishing you a swift recovery from this last exposure. If you have DH you will likely also want to avoid iodine, which is common in seafoods and dairy products, as it can exacerbate symptoms in some people. This article may also be helpful as it offers various ways to relieve the itch:
