Brain Fog / Organix Testing

Hey guys,

I think my case was pretty severe. Had bad adrenal function, brain fog, dizziness, anxiety blah blah blah. I have been off gluten for 3 months and while the anxiety/panic symptoms are doing a bit better my energy levels and brain fog are still up there. I'm sure i have pretty bad intestinal issues, leaky gut, etc. My best guess is that this stuff has a lot to do with the leaky gut and malapsorbtion issues. Did these type of issues resolve for people quickly? I am guessing it has to do with vitamin levels and I am debating getting an organix test which will tell me a lot about my vitamin status as well as other markers of candida, detoxification pathways and the like. has anybody ever gotten the organix test done?

This is something I have been truly curious about also. I was told during my initial stages of recovery, I am not supposed to take viatims and minerals, except Vit B and D. But for how long and when is the lining supposed to heal? You've been recovering for 3 months and still have GI issues?

As you stated, is detoxification the answer? Ive never heard of the organix test before. I'm not much help, only more Qs :)

Haha yea there are always questions with this stuff eh? Well it can take a long time to heal from all this. Organix testing basically tests markers in your body to test energy production, carb/fat metabolism, detox capacity and things like that. It also tests for markers of candida/bacterial overgrowth. I mean the end result will probably be the same but i think that knowing some of these things and working with someone experienced will really help speed the process.

      Waiting on biopsy after positive bloodwork, but also not really believing this is real

      @Alibu, Just wanted to add... Migraines can be caused by thiamine insufficiency.  I used to have them, regularly, but haven't since supplementing with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine or TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) and Magnesium Threonate.  These forms get into the brain easily and really improve migraines.  I do still get Ophthalmic migraines which are triggered by computer screens.  It's permanent damage from nutritional deficiencies.  An Erythrocyte Transketolace test is a more accurate test for sufficient thiamine. Keep us posted on your progress!

      @knitty kitty Thank you for those, I will definitely bring them up!  I did send a message to my doctor basically asking what they think so I'll go from there.  He may very well just decide that this was enough to diagnose celiac, but I have no clue what his thoughts are right now.  I also asked for a second opinion on the pathology.

      New onset constant gas

      @HilaryM, Are you eating a diet high in carbohydrates?  You might find a Paleo diet easier on your digestive system.  A Paleo diet can promote changes in  intestinal flora, effectively starving out SIBO bacteria.   Be wary of gluten free processed foods.  Many are not enriched or fortified with vitamins and minerals lost in processing like gluten containing foods are.  Talk to your doctor and nutritionist about supplementing with vitamins and minerals while healing.  Vitamins are organic compounds that the body cannot make and so must get from the diet.   Supplementing ensures our bodies get a fair chance to absorb the essential nutrients it needs.

      Refractory Coeliac Disease research to reduce anxiety

      @MelissaClinPsyD, I hope you investigate whether your participants take nutritional supplements.  The group of eight B vitamins, Vitamin D and magnesium have a big impact on mental health, especially depression.  I know correcting nutritional deficiencies were most important in my physical and mental health recovery!   There's more information and my mental health struggles in my blog.   Keep us posted on your progress!

      @Jmartes71, Please do get checked for nutritional deficiencies.  A good B Complex, Vitamin D, Benfotiamine (a form of Thiamine Vitamin B1 that promotes intestinal healing), Vitamin D and magnesium are a good way to start. Correcting nutritional deficiencies with Thiamine supplements (like Benfotiamine), B Complex, and Vitamin D were my miracles. How are you doing?  Sending prayers.
