2 Months On Supplements To Address Lg And Gluten Issues - Excellent Results


Eric-C

I've been seeing a new chiropractor that everyone has been raving about. My sister has been going there for years.

We talked about my Celiac's/Gluten problem and over some episodes I've had. I also told him my feelings on yeast being the root cause of my gluten problem. He was very familiar with leaky gut and put me on some reasonably priced supplements. I'm always wary when they start pushing pills at you, especially the overpriced organic ones.

However the prices were reasonable. Considering I pay $52 a month for Candex the rest of the regimen came to about $50 in total.

I take Candex 4 per day(was taking before seeing him)

3 Okra Epsim E(7am, 3pm and 7am)

6 Zymex(2 with every meal)

6 Cholocol(2 with every meal)

It has been 2 months since I started. I had some crappy feeling die off issues for 2-3 days but compared to how I felt taking Caprillic acid this was a breeze.

The difference has been amazing. First thing I noticed is hydration. I was having to drink tons of water to stay hydrated and when dehydration hit it was bad.

Now I drink like I used to, water/iced tea and when I get thirsty I get thirsty, before it was just before I came crashing down with hydration issues.

I never had severe reactions but about a year ago I started to run into problems with vinegar, sugar, and other yeast/parasite trigger foods. I now tolerate all of them like its nothing.

I got the flu for the first time in 8 years so that was new too but I drank Gatorade and greatly increased my sugar load during that time with no ill effects where as before if I went overboard on sugar I had problems within a few days with nerve problems.

I'm not doing myself any favors most likely not cutting back on the vinegar/carbs but I've been very happy with the results. No more of the up and downs either, every day I have more energy and am level all day long and all week long.

The real question is if the leaky gut issue is fixed will the gluten problem go away. If I do accidentally get gluten its like before, some moderate stomach pain, maybe some D but nothing like it has been. I have no CC reactions.

If I gave up carbs/vinegar I'd accelerate the healing but I'm happy with a slow steady pace. I'm also drinking the following each morning for breakfast:

3 apples

1 banana

1/2 cup fresh orange juice

1/2 cup strawberries

3tbl spoons Flax seed

handful almonds

Blended in a blender.

All of it to slow clean things out and restore some balance to the intestine.

Seems to be working so far.

      Sciatica came to mind for me as well. You might want to get some imaging done on your C-spine.

      Maybe this is sciatica? When mine acts up a little, I switch my wallet from one back pocket to the other. this isn't a substitute for more serious medical help, but for me it's a bandaid.

      OK so I just learned something completely new about this for the first time in years, that is REALLY WEIRD. One of my nerves that likes to "burn" or whatever is doing it every time I bow my head! I mean it is completely repeatable. Literally every time. Once my head goes beyond a certain angle *boom*. Nerve goes mental (lower right leg pain). What the hell. I've never seen a direct trigger such as this before that I can recall. The pain was the usual type I get from this problem - I suspect somehow the head movement was interrupting descending inhibition processes, causing the pain to leak through somehow.

      I've only made this a couple of times but it's really easy and I love the flavor. If you can, use all of the ingredients to get the full palette of flavors. I use fresh or canned tomatoes and I don't worry about peeling them. If you don't have harissa, there are replacement recipes online. If you don't have the greens, I suggest adding a little chopped baby spinach or celery leaves to add a dash of green color to this red dish. Best eaten in first couple days because flavor tends to fade. Leftovers are still good, but not as vibrant. Ingredients 2 medium eggplants, partially peeled and cut into cubes (original recipe says 1 in, but I prefer 1/2 to 3/4 in) 2 tomatoes, peeled and crushed 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped or minced 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons spicy harissa (I use Mina brand) 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon paprika ½ teaspoon black pepper 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or lemon juice 1 tablespoon tomato paste (optional) Salt to taste Preparation     • Heat olive oil in skillet or pot over medium heat. Add all ingredients and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook on low heat for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.       • Serve warm or cold as a side or with bread for dipping. Enjoy!

      I checked consumer labs that I'm a member of they independently check products for safely and claims the wolfs was rated great and bobs redmill buckwheat cereal. Ultra low gotten no dangerous levels of arsenic heavy metals, mold, yeast etc. plus they mention to refrigerate. I wonder if the raw buckwheat they rinse bc it's not toasted like kasha. Toasted removes the grassy taste I have to try the one you mentioned. I also bought Qia which is a quinoa mixed got great reviews.
