    Could your histamine response to conventional cows milk be a result of the high omega 6 to omega 3 ratio of the milk? Pasture fed milk has a healthier ratio than grain fed. Once I resolved my lactose intolerance with home made dill pickles I still had a problem that if I drank milk at bedtime I woke two hours later with indigestion. Milk is an important...

    Call your insurance to ask if they need to preauthorize the tests so you know your cost.

    If you have Celiac Disease, it is genetic and you've had it all your life. Many of the symptoms that you've had all your life and been told it's normal will go away once you start a Gluten free diet and replenish your vitamin deficiencies. There are around three hundred symptoms possibly linked. I counted 18 myself. With your mix of symptons, there could...

    The last cases of wild (naturally occurring) polio in the United States were in 1979 in four states, among Amish residents who had refused vaccination. Covid-19 has well exceeded the death toll from polio and regardless its origin is not going away by itself.

    Back to those same vitamins common to Celiac Disease and a Diamine Oxidase (DAO) problem . Looking at the second article, eating two or more ounces of almonds for vitamin E could help.

    It's effect on BP is entirely dependent on the individual. It's use is more like a mild warfarin to stop clotting.

    Me, too. Homocysteine is considered an independant risk factor for heart disease and stroke. Flolate and vitamin B5 are the primary molecules to metabolize it but all the B vitamins have a role. Prednisone and aspirin help somewhat. Regardless of other risk factors high homocystein is bad because it damages your arteries. The WHO says increasing Potassium...

    Methotrexate, a Disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARD) used extensively to reduce glucocortisones (prednisone) actually raises homocysteine. Prednisone use reduces homocysteine. So by using methotrexate to reduce steroids to control inflamation it effectively increases the risk of heart attacts and stroke. Counterproductive, ya think? DMARDs are profitable...

    I am sorry for that. It would be good if your husband joined you on your gluten free journey. He might find some benefit for himself.

    Personally I prefer alka selzer. As a weird side effect, aspirin makes me hungry

    So maybe your Celiac caused symptom was misdiagnosed as acid reflux disease, unknow etiology, taking into account your family history. There is a rebound effect of stopping PPI so it is a serious step.

    Long term use of PPI compouds the malabsorption aspect of celiac disease increasing the risk of malnutrition despite sufficient calorie intake.

    need to paste as plain text, it's a change they recently made in Edge.

    you can develope a dependency on Afrin if you use it alot, that's why they say short term.
  15. Wheatwacked
    Afrin

    Atrophy of the nooks and crannies in the small intestines causes malabsorption syndrome. Common deficiencies are fiber, iron, calcium, magnesium, zinc, folate, niacin, riboflavin, vitamin B12, and vitamin D. Potassium is a "nutrient of concern" in most countries because we don't eat enough of it. Diahrea, a common comorbidity with Celiac Disease causes...

    It's not your grandfather's milk

    I think it would be wise, before starting an antifungal that may damage your liver, to see a dermatologist and get a definitive diagnosis. A consult with a nutritionist familiar with Celiac Disease would also seem appropriate. It is possible that you got it from someone other than Missy. That seems to have been a quick assumption by the ER doctor, who...

    Try 100% Pasture Fed milk. The feed and the additives others , including organic farmers, give the cows to increase milk fat and quantity, completely changes the lipid and protein profile. Pasture fed has more omega 3. Plus it tastes better, like the milk I drank as a kid. Home Fermented foods will increase your lactase levels if you have lactose intolerance...

    Raw vegies slows peristalsis. Fiber absorbs the bile which is made from cholesterol so the liver converts more cholesterol into bile, possibly lowering your total cholesterol.

    Two more things you might try. 60 grams (2 oz) almonds has 100% rda of vitamin E and 347 calories. One tsp Cod Liver Oil fulfills all your vitamin A and has omega 3 at 40 calories.

    I felt the same. This link http://nutrientlog.doodlesnotes.net/ is to a spreadsheet I created a July 2020 of what I eat and the nutrient values of each calcutated to quantity. I've only posted data since July 2021. It helped me because I calculted daily totals. Do not know yet how to make it interactive, but it will give you an idea of whats in what you...

    Not at all. What you have now is something that many people are envious of. The holy grail of weight loss. It takes a while for your appistat to readjust. Maybe more fatty foods like avocado. When I was younger I could out eat everyone and not gain weight. A properly operating digestive system will take what you need and leave the rest.

    Looks good the way you are. Watch more TV reruns pre 1965 and set the screen aspect to 4:3 when appropriate. A 4:3 show watched on a 16:9 screen makes everyone fatter. Some stations adjust, some do not. Notice how skinny everyone looks compared to our current body image. Buy new clothes to fit your new image.

    I solved my lactose issue by making my own fermented pickles to increase my lactobacillus. Most of our lactase comes from bacteria in our gut that are overwhelmed by the bad guys and antibiotics. Our denovo production of lactase is really only enough for infants. Daytime milk was ok but I still would wake in the night with stomach upset if I drank milk before...
