    I know I can't cut out oxalates completely. It would be the same with sulfur, salicylates, lectins, etc. I can cut down and hope for the best.

    Thanks for your suggestions. My head is just spinning with everything that I could be doing wrong. I buy filtered water for drinking and cooking so hope that is safe. I don't seem to do any better with fresh foods from our garden. No pesticides on that. As far as giving up my supplements, I don't feel safe doing that. I had hyperthyroid issues in...

    I didn't think any mayonaise was egg free. I'll have to check this out.

    If histamines are causing my insomnia, would benadryl help? I've taken benadryl for sleep and it it didn't help. Also, meat is suppose to be fresh. Does it have to be cooked for every meal or can it be cooked and frozen? Sounds like a lot of work to cook fresh meat for every meal. Olives are on the list of foods to avoid. Is olive oil O.K.? For...

    L_C How long did it take you to feel better after starting the Low Oxalate Diet? A couple foods stuck out that I should be avoiding. Green beans seem to cause insomnia. I also question blueberries. These are two foods that tested safe. I started eating peanut butter and almonds almost every day for the calories. If I cut out those four foods, I'll...

    L_C I have been checking so many different diets and got oxalates mixed up with histamines. It has been suggested that histamines may be a problem, too. Am I correct that I can still eat walnuts on the oxylate diet? How about sunflower seeds? I tried doing a spreadsheet of different diets-histamine, oxylate, salycilates and lectins. I may have gotten...

    I tried changing the antifungals every couple days last fall and got really bad so found that didn't work for me.

    Skylark, Safe meats are lamb, beef liver, pheasant, quail and venison. I cannot stand the taste of lamb. I question beef liver since beef showed up as an intolerance. I tried venison and got D from that so figured that got CC from the butchering. Pheasant and quail aren't available. I question seafood since so many kinds showed up as intolerances. ...

    My die off symptom has always been a bad headache. Today is day four of the Nystatin and it is quite a bit better. I'm hoping by tomorrow it is gone completely.

    Seroquel made me feel like my whole body was on fire. That was the most horrible experience. Passion flower herb capsules provided no sleep. I haven't tried tryptophan. Melatonin doesn't help. My doctor have me samples of a new supplement called Glysom. That didn't help. Last night I did get some sleep. I always get sleep the third night...

    Yes I have silver (mercury) fillings and figure they may be a problem. However, I have a whole mouth full of them and can't afford to have them replaced. I often wonder if I have to live in this agony for the rest of my life because of them.

    If I could get some sleep and concentrate better, I could possibly handle trying a histamine, salicylate, nightshade, oxalate and lectin free diet (along with the candida diet). What would the safe foods be for all of that? Right now I have such brain fog that I can't put it all together. If there is any validity in my food intolerance tests, I would...

    Skylark, My TSH was 2.2. A while back I had a full thyroid panel and everything was in the normal limits. A few years before this, I was hypothyroid and taking medication. I didn't feel any better when on medication nor when I no longer needed it. Going gluten free obviously improved both my thyroid and parathyroid. However, I had parathyroid surgery...

    Skylark, My food intolerance were detected through blood work. The reason I resorted to them is because I cannot isolate what the problem foods are. I faithfully kept a food journal and the only food that really stuck out for causing insomnia was string beans. I often go two nights in a row without any sleep and am not able to sleep during the day....

    ARCHIVED Nystatin

    jackay replied to Lisa79's topic in Food Intolerance & Leaky Gut

    Burdee, I was not diagnosed with a stool test for candida. I started Nystatin and got a headache which is the same die off symptom I got with all natural antifungals I tried (except Candex. Since I'm experiencing die off symptoms, does that mean that the Nystatin is working for my strain of candida?
  16. jackay
    I've tried the candida diet and used natural antifungals. With each antifungal, I had die off so figured they were working. The candida always came back. I started Nystatin and have die off symptoms so feel it is working. I tested intolerant to almost all food so can't avoid it all. Also, I can't avoid all the foods that are the normal breeding ground...

    I am beyond frustrated! I've been off gluten a couple of years. I had further improvement with my digestion when I started the digestive enzyme Creon about three months ago. I still don't sleep and feel absolutely wrotten all the time so had food intolerance testing once again. I was hoping with the digestive enzyme that I would show fewer food intolerances...
  18. jackay
    I agree 100%!
  19. jackay
    For those of you who have taken the digestive enzyme Creon, did you have to stay on it long term? I've read that some people have only taken it a few months. I know everyone is different but would like to hear about your experience with it.
  20. jackay
    I always wash my hands and dry with a paper towel when I'm going to be touching food. I feel it is the safe way to go.

    It doesn't seem to make any difference how often I eat protein or how much of it I eat. Part of my fatigue comes from the fact that I do suffer from insomnia. About one out of every three nights nights I don't sleep at all. However, when I do get a night with eight hours of sleep, I am often just as tired the next day.
  22. jackay
    I thought Tylenol was gluten free???
  23. jackay
    I don't even know what it feels like anymore to not be tired.
  24. jackay
    I take the digestive enzyme, Creon, that has artificial coloring in the capsule. I don't like ingesting that but haven't wanted to bother opening it up and sprinkling it on food. If you can do it, I can do it! Maybe

    Sorry you didn't get any responses to your last topic. I wish you could give me some of your sleep as I'm the opposite. I have so many sleepless nights and absolutely cannot sleep during the day. I am always exhausted, even when I do sleep. Try cutting out the bread, Chex, etc. and eat just whole foods to see if that helps. Good luck!
