Found Something For Inflammation

Just wanted to add something else benficial I found that I am relating to the tea. I have tight muscles and connective tissues in my legs and shoulders. My physical therapist keeps telling me I need to find the reason. I get a deep tissue massage 1-2 times a month and every time is painful, to a the point of near tears....not something I look fwd to but understand it is needed. Last Fri was my first massage since drinking the tea.....amazing, seriously amazing, only a little tightness in left calf and right shoulder. I contribute the difference to the tea. No change in my nerve pain or the pain in my low back from my bulging discs but I am not expecting that either.

Hey, take what you can get, right?

Glad your massage was pleasant for once! Aren't they nice when they don't hurt?

Well, I finally got around to trying it. I thought it tasted pretty good. I bought loose tea and made it in my french press.

And this morning I woke up to a psoriasis flare! :angry: Probably salicylate related. This really stinks. Every time I find something good for me, I find out it's bad for me.

Being that today is "National Grouch Day", I must say I am in the spirit for it. GRRRR...

Here's my unscientific results so far:

I have had 1 cup a day (from tea bags). I was noticing that some stiffness in joints seemed less. Yesterday, I didn't have any. Woke up several times with pain in hips and shoulders. My feet and fingers are stiff this morning.

I'm drinking some right now!

For the past week, I have added 2 tablespoons of tart cherry juice concentrate in addition to the tea. Too early, probably, to tell if that is going to have an effect but the tea seems to ease the stiffness a bit.

Tomorrow will be two weeks of drinking a cup per day, some days two. Positive things that I cannot prove are connected to the tea, but I am hopeful.

Accidental glutening symptoms were less severe than in the past. The gluten was from almonds packaged on the same lines as gluten and was obvious within half hour of ingestion. My symptoms are usually severe for five days. This time they were slightly less severe and lasted for 3 or 4.

I have had far more "vertical" time over the past two weeks. I was feeling quite ill one day and skipped the tea - the following day my joint/muscle pain was much worse.

Again, nothing conclusive - but everything promising. Off to drink my morning tea :D

I have had a cup a day for 10 days and did not notice any significant reduction in

the joint pain as yet.

I always remain hopeful, however, and will continue. It may kick in eventually!

Quoting myself, but last night was the first time I could lay down comfortably without my knees/legs aching. This morning, I was able to go outside and rake/spot seed the front lawn. The stairs are easier too today. Compared to just yesterday, I would say my pain/stiffness went from an 8 to a 2.

I think the tart cherry juice is having an effect--my eczema is also calmer today.

If the tea isn't quite cutting it, the juice might be worth a try. I use 2 tablespoons tart cherry juice, club soda, and ice. You can also just take it off the spoon, as you would cough medicine.

This is really interesting, Patti! A few years ago, I had my Dad drinking tart cherry juice for gout which developed with his kidney disease as it helps to flush out uric acid (which of course, causes major pain in the joints). A study out of OSHU in Oregon says it helps with inflammation in muscles of runners/athletes--and you are living proof.

Going from a pain level of 8 to a 2 sounds amazing. Thanks for the suggestion.

Is this something you get at WF?

I can see this statement in my future.

"Really Hon, I'm drinking this tart cherry martini to reduce inflammation!"

Thanks for the idea Patti - I am going to try adding to the tea soon :)

      Fighting for a name

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.

      @Martha Mitchell, your reaction to the lens implant with gluten sounds like it could be an allergic reaction rather than a celiac reaction. It is possible for a celiac to be also allergic to gluten as it is a protein component in wheat, barley and rye.

      Scott I also have different symptoms than most people. It affects me bad. Stomach ache, headache, nauseous, heart racing, whole body shaking, can't walk then my throat starts to close. It attacks my nervous system. The only thing that saves me is a 1/2 of Xanax...it calms down my nervous system

      Scott Adams. I was dealing with a DR that didn't care about me being celiac. I repeatedly told him that I was celiac and is everything gluten-free. He put an acrylic lens from j&j. I called the company to ask about gluten and was told yes that the acrylic they use has gluten....then they back tracked immediately and stopped talking to me. The Dr didn't care that I was having issues. It took me 6 months and a lot of sickness to get it removed.... which can only happen within 6 months. The Dr that took it out said that it was fused and that's why I lost vision. If they would have removed it right away everything would be fine. He put in a silicone one that was gluten-free and I've had no issues at all in the other eye. Do not do acrylic!
