Six weeks on tea - eight weeks without all other supplements.

Tea is steeped very dark - twice per day -- I'm currently using two teabags in the morning and reusing them for second cup.

Am still slowly improving - more hours vertical.

Have added almonds back into diet - Happy Dance :wub:

Might lose the only high lectin food that remained in my diet - the incredible edible egg - going without for 7-10 days to see if it helps.

Not certain tea is reason for improvement - but seems to be partially responsible - when I don't drink it I feel worse -- again not scientific but remains promising.

Son stopped for almost a week - reflux did not worsen, but sinuses did - he's back on one cup per day.

I think the tea was upsetting my stomach. Just a blech feeling. Tried Patti's sour cherry drink - it's a really god cherry limeade! So yummy but it isn't helping my joints. My hips are getting worse. So I'm trying this from Rosetapper. The oils have no taste in some Sunny D ( left over from Thanksgiving for the nephews) but it is oily. Only been doing it 2 days, so I'll report back.

Rosetapper:

"That said, I can give you a couple of remedies that should work for your muscles and joints. First, you should take chelated manganese, which you may be deficient in and which is extremely necessary for the health of your muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Secondly, if you take 1/2 teaspoon of organic flaxseed oil and 3/4 teaspoon of organic safflower oil and mix them in a smoothie or glass of juice once a day, your muscles will stop aching almost immediately. Your joints should start feeling better, too, in a few days. I'm pretty sure these remedies will help you out--good luck! "

Same here with the nettle tea and my gut. Had to stop it.

I tried ginger tea--steeped it. Very good for gut, no help with bones/joints

Love the tart cherry juice and seltzer with lime, but no help with the ouchies.

I tried the omega oils for 2 months--for my muscles and connective tissues.....I did not notice anything.

Not being a downer, just honest. As I always am.

Hope they work for you, K!

Rosetapper has good luck with that protocol for her muscles.

I am off grains again. I started to notice less pain and overall, just better energy, etc.after 3 weeks...then at THanX, I had some grains....and the pain shot right back up.

well, Duh, Irish....

I stopped the nettle tea also. I kept some for trying later, but don't drink it every day now. Same thing with peppermint tea. I don't think people should drink it every day either. Ginger tea worked for a while, but I had to stop it also. And cinnamon, and chocolate tea. Some things seem to be ok in small occasional quantities, but not in constant consumption. At least for me that's how it works.

A friend of mine has life-threatening gout. He tried the cherry juice and it helped some, but then he started taking celery seed capsules (from the health food store). His gout which used to flare up on him every few days has not bothered him in MONTHS now. They say it is great for arthritis pain too.

wow thats amazing! What is nettle tea? Is it like an herbal tea? also, can you just get it at the grocery store? or health food stores?

Wanted to share this....I have been on a gluten-free diet for 1 1/2 years but for the longest time still having issues.....something in my body was being attacked randomly like a wild fire. I went completely grain free, sugar free 6 months ago and FINALLY after over a year the buzzing in my ears went away. If I did have any corn or rice I noticed my hands would get tight and my feet would hurt. So I tried nettle tea which claimed to help with inflammation.....BINGO, it worked!!!! I drank a cup every day the first week, now I drink a cup every other day and I can now have small amounts of corn and rice without my hands and feet hurting, and no more ringing in my ears!!!!

I get mine reasonably priced and delivered from Amazon. I have seen it at both the health food store and regular grocery store -- at the grocery it was labeled for prostate.

Skittles, nettle tea is made from the weed/plant, nettle. Have you ever heard of stringing nettle? It is a tall green plant that grows wild at least in Europe, not sure where all it grows. There are some teas that come mixed but I actually like the one that is nothing but nettles.

After my first week of more of daily nettle tea I backed off to 1-2 cups per week only steeping the tea for approx 1 minute (otherwise it is too strong for me) and I have not had any inflammation issues since. My body is no longer on fire and I am no longer chasing the next health issue. I actually feel normal now.

My husband has problems with gout and has been using the tea as long as I have and is reaping the benefits himself. We ran out at one point and he noticed he started having cramping in the arches of his feet which he had not even realized had gone away. He feels the tea keeps the cramps in his feet away. He drinks the tea almost daily but my body is super hyper sensative so I have to be real careful.

I read where a couple of people were talking about it healing inflamation. Are you talking about inflamation in the stomach? Just wondering because my stomach gets swollen sometimes if I eat something that doesn't agree with me. And it isn't always just gas.. sometimes it just feels inflammed.

Sorry no one answered -- inflammation everywhere in the body for me.

Update regarding Nettle Tea:

My son and I are still drinking once daily - he has one tea bag and I use two bags and let mine steep for a long time. We have found that if we skip a day or two our issues - my joint pain and abdomen bloat return slightly -- his sinuses become more stuffy -- this still has not cleared completely -- but is much improved since he has been drinking the tea.

I have found a reason that nettle tea is working for me -- it is a natural anti-histamine and I have recently found the connection between histamine containing and histamine stimulating foods to some of my unresolved symptoms -- I had already previously removed many histamine containing foods because many of them also contain lectins - removing them all has helped A LOT :)

Have been looking for a good - easy to understand list of histamine intolerance for the past month or so and found a very nice one yesterday -- here's the link if anyone is interested:

      Cartilage and rib pain.

      By bold-95 · Posted

      Are you saying that celiac causes you rib pain?  Or that your ribs are fragile due to being celiac?  Or that the vitamins you take act as an analgesic, and that OTC pain-relievers do not work for you?  I don't understand the connection.

      I hate to cook!

      By bold-95 · Posted

      I am so discouraged!  I would rather not eat... or even eat junk (with the expected result)... than cook!  I have been gluten-free (hah) since 2016.  But my husband eats tons of bread, biscuits, cake, muffins... you name it.  Everything on the SCD that's illegal, he eats.  And buys it and brings it home, many times in trying to please me!  Please don't suggest we have a heart-to-heart talk;  been there, done that.  He truly is unable to change.  ONE reason is that culturally, we are opposites.  Another reason is that he is in his 80's and isn't about to do something he doesn't want to.  If I don't cook for him, his nutrition would be less than poor. My mental state is going from bad to worse.  He is also declining mentally (memory, reasoning) and physically, and that makes me want to cry all the time; that, or be angry. My celiac symptoms are not completely resolved, just somewhat better. I have just read the book re SCD, wish I could try that diet (cause it promises a cure) but the learning/implementing curve is more than I can handle if I have to cook the way they say is necessary. I live in an area with poor medical help; I tried the (only) dietitian listed in my area who is celiac knowledge certified, but she doesn't accept my insurance.  I'm on my own. I am hypothyroid, and on HRT.  Cannot tolerate Buspirone; anti-depressives are ineffective due to gene mutations (I've been tested). Can anyone help?  Or not....

      Frustrated

      By Jmartes71 · Posted

I switched in May of this year.I was half told of my celiac disease in 1994 and to stay away from wheat and Ill be just fine.Im not.Was on tramadel from I think 2006 til 2023.In 2007 still gluten-free had blood test and showed other food allergies. I have been avoiding and reading labels so I don't get sick.Im 54 years old, my right eye feels as if pressure ( seeing eye specialist) saw dermatologist and had skin graph was told ulcers but since I was disregarded of my celiac disease and it was previous doctor who sent me to dermatologist, its now " undetermined ".I pushed for the first and second ANA panel and negative. I had my 5th colonoscopy July 9 this year and colon looks great, BECAUSE IM gluten-free for 31 YEARS.Waiting on biopsy.My only celiac proof on medical was 2014 that i physically have, i don't have original. How do I get my new doctor to understand the severity of pain Im dealing with, daily flare ups.Exhausted and allergic to everything. Menopause has intensified, i feel but then again I had my 3rd covid in March 2023 and I can't bounce back.Pain down left leg always in the bathroom when I barely eat.Its affecting my life and frustrated with doctors not knowing.To be far my new doctor is having me see two specialist but how do I get him to understand its my false negative celiac disease????

      Lymphocytic Colitis with Celiac

      By Katerific · Posted

      I was diagnosed with microscopic colitis and celiac a couple of years ago.  The GI doctor prescribed a course of budesonide, which moderately helped until I tapered off.    After a lot of ups and downs over the course of 2 years, I am finally in microscopic colitis remission.  Since I am also diabetic, I was started on metformin and Jardiance.  Metformin by itself helped moderately.  I added Jardiance and I was much better.  I stopped the metformin and relapsed and when I added it back, I regained remission.  I think metformin and Jardiance helped my colitis because they reduce inflammation in the gut.  Metformin is known to favorably modulate the gut microbiome and reduce inflammatory cytokines.  Similarly, emerging evidence supports the anti-inflammatory properties of SGLT2 inhibitors like Jardiance.  Once I was on both, the diarrhea stopped completely, even though nothing else ever worked long-term.  There is a Facebook group that can be very informative and helpful.  Look for "Microscopic Colitis and Lymphocytic Colitis Support Group.  You will find that members of the Facebook group identify other pathways to remission of microscopic colitis.
