I am having a liver issue here..bilirubin and last night urobilinogen after a possible gluten or salicylic acid episode starting on the 29th of december. I have no appetite but i'm forcing myself to eat. I have been on a very limited diet..i dunno for sure if my problem is salicylic acid with what happened and i feel i need to go on the rotation diet to heal myself properly as well as find a probiotic. What the heck do i do? I'm finding it hard to find foods to even fill up my day unless i eat a lot of the same thing...let alone a rotation diet O_O thoughts?

Are you sure about your intolerances? I am low level intolerant by Elisa test to 49/60 things I am eating. I still can eat each of them and am doing really well on a rotational diet. Make sure nothing you are getting is cross contaminated with gluten. It is so confusing at first to know what exactly is going on. From my test I also learned 11 foods that I was eating that I was making no antibodies for. These I do break rotation somewhat with. You can't have a rounded diet without protein, fat, and veges. I can maybe show you my rotation diet, but you can't have one like it with only 6 items.

Protein foods : Fish, beef, chicken, pork, lamb, bison, poached eggs, yougurt, or cheese

Veges: (brocolli, cauliflower, , collard greens, kale, and brussel sprouts), ,(legumes, string beans, lentils, kidney beans, garbanzo beans, carob, peas, white beans) (sweet potato, carrots, squash, zucchini, celery, fennel bulb ) (beets, swiss chard, spinach)

My "flours" Buckwheat ground by me (I haven't found storebought not cc) walnut, hazlenut, pecan, macedemia, Nut flour, (ground in blender and put through a sifter, ) Almond flour, coconut flour.

fruits apple, banana, mango, papaya, kiwi, cranberry, blackberry, pears, blueberry, strawberry, raspberry, oranges, peaches, grapefruit, grapes, apricot, plums, figs, dates, cherry (sweet and tart), watermelon, cantelope, avacado, tomato, rhubarb, pineapple there may be others to try at the store. Try a new one, you are not likely to have antibodies to it. Check its family though.

Oils (ghee) (coconut oil) (Olive oil)

For each meal I have 1 protein, l or more veggies, 1 flour and one oil. Sometimes I have a small amount of fruit. If I make a little pancake I spread a couple of bites of fruit on it for flavor. YUM

You may not tolerate some of them, but if you only eat it every forth day, perhaps you can get by with it like I do. Your body sure needs to rest. When I started my diet, I felt better in four days. I have not relapsed yet, even when I got diarrhea from something I ate. I mean my foggy fatigue stayed away, and I could live with the other for a short time.

I hope this will help you, or someone. I do hope that if you really feel you are so limited in your diet that you will find help, or try one of the really limited diets others are on like paleo. I don't know what else. Either that or I hope you find a health practioner that can help you identify more foods you can eat, or how to get out of your food crises. I felt I needed that until recently. AFter I did the rotational diet, supplements, and pancreatic enymes I feel better. I am coming down with a cold now, and I hope I will lick it much faster than my cold that was before the changes I recently made.

Problem is salicylic acid limits the diet...GREATLY. More so than gluten. Can't eat half of those lists. Not having dairy. Coconut and Olive oil are high, A lot of the veggies are high all fruits except perhaps pears are ok...this is really becoming a burden. I'm pretty sure it's more than likely salicylic acid because my stomach upset started from sniffing peppermint and ginger young living essential oils on my husbands aunt's suggestion and turns out they are high in sals. I've done a urine test and my bilirubin went way up again...so frustrated :(

I answered this in reply to your PM, but I will post here as well.

You can try the Failsafe Diet.

Open Original Shared Link

of course, it goes without saying, but you have to eliminate the gluten grains, too on that list!

Works very well for taking out any potential foods or additives that may be bothering you.

I know you are very anxious to get well, as I once was too

but you really, really have to try and calm down about what

you think are "potential" issues making you sick. You simply cannot get glutened or sick from food aromas if someone is cooking

in your house (as you asked on another thread)

but you could well have felt sick after sniffing oils IF you have a chemical sensitivity.

An environmental allergist can diagnose this problem.

Just try it for a month. Take walks. Get some fresh air.

Hope this helps.

      This happened to me as well. What’s weirder is that within a couple hours of taking paxlovid it subsided. I thought maybe I got glutened but after reading your post not so sure.

      Hi Tiffany. Thank you for writing your dituation and  circumstancesin such detail and so well writte, too. I particularly noticed what you wrote about brain for and feeling like your brain is swelling and I know from my own experiences that's how it feel and your brain really does swell and you get migraines.    Way back when I was in my 20s I read a book by 2 MD allergist and they described their patient who came in complaining that her brain, inside her cranium, was swelling  and it happened when she smelled a certain chemical she used in her home. She kept coming back and insisting her brain actually swelled in her head. The Drs couldn't explain this problem so they, with her permission, performed an operation where they made a small opening through her cranium, exposed her to the chemical then watched as she brain did swell into the opening. The DRs were amazed but then were able to advise her to avoid chemicals that made her brain swell. I remember that because I occasionally had brain fog then but it was not a serious problem. I also realized that I was becoming more sensitive to chemicals I used in my work in medical laboratories. By my mid forties the brain fog and chemicals forced me to leave my  profession and move to a rural area with little pollution. I did not have migraines. I was told a little later that I had a more porous blood brain barrier than other people. Chemicals in the air would go up into my sinused and leak through the blood brain barrier into my brain. We have 2 arteries  in our neck that carry blood with the nutrients and oxygen into the brain. To remove the fluids and used blood from the brain there are only capillaries and no large veins to carry it away so all those fluids ooze out much more slowly than they came in and since the small capillaries can't take care of extra fluid it results in swelling in the face, especially around the eyes. My blood flow into my brain is different from most other people as I have an arterial ischema, adefectiveartery on one side.   I have to go forward about 20 or more years when I learned that I had glaucoma, an eye problem that causes blindness and more years until I learned I had celiac disease.  The eye Dr described my glaucoma as a very slow loss of vision that I wouldn't  notice until had noticeable loss of sight.  I could have my eye pressure checked regularly or it would be best to have the cataracts removed from both eyes. I kept putting off the surgery then just overnight lost most of the vision in my left eye. I thought at the I had been exposed to some chemical and found out a little later the person who livedbehind me was using some chemicals to build kayaks in a shed behind my house. I did not realize the signifance  of this until I started having appointments with a Dr. in a new building. New buildings give me brain fog, loss of balance and other problems I know about this time I experienced visual disturbances very similar to those experienced by people with migraines. I looked further online and read that people with glaucoma can suffer rapid loss of sight if they have silent migraines (no headache). The remedy for migraines is to identify and avoid the triggers. I already know most of my triggers - aromatic chemicals, some cleaning materials, gasoline and exhaust and mold toxins. I am very careful about using cleaning agents using mostly borax and baking powder. Anything that has any fragrance or smell I avoid. There is one brand of dishwashing detergent that I can use and several brands of  scouring powder. I hope you find some of this helpful and useful. I have not seen any evidence that Celiac Disease is involved with migraines or glaucoma. Please come back if you have questions or if what I wrote doesn't make senseto you. We sometimes haveto learn by experience and finding out why we have some problems. Take care.       The report did not mention migraines.

      Hi Jmartes71 That is so much like my story! You probably know where Laytonville is and that's where I was living just before my 60th birthday when the new Dr. suggested I could have Celiacs. I didn't go on a gluten challange diet before having the Celiac panel blood test drawn. The results came back as equivical as one antibody level was very high but another, tissue transaminasewas normal. Itdid show I was  allergic to cows milk and I think hot peppers. I immediately went gluten free but did not go in for an endoscopy. I found an online lab online that would do the test to show if I had a main celiac gene (enterolab.com). The report came back that I had inherited a main celiac gene, DQ8, from one parent and a D!6 from the other parent. That combination is knows to sym[tons of celiac worse than just inheriting one main celiac gene. With my version of celiac disease I was mostly constipated but after going gluten-free I would have diarrhea the few times I was glutened either by cross contamination or eating some food containing gluten. I have stayed gluten-free for almost 20 years now and knew within a few days that it was right for me although my recovery has been slow.   When I go to see a  medical provide and tell them I have celiacs they don't believe me. The same when I tell them that I carry a main celiac gene, the DQ8. It is only when I tell them that I get diarrhea after eating gluten that they realize that I might have celiac disease. Then they will order th Vitamin B12 and D3 that I need to monitor as my B12 levels can go down very fast if I'm not taking enough of it. Medical providers haven't been much help in my recovery. They are not well trained in this problem. I really hope this helps ypu. Take care.
