Praying here, love, Joya
sounds like over my head...
if you have mouth itching, have you tried Singular? That helps in the long term allergy reaction type stuff...another drug is tagamet (not zantac).
May God heal her and comfort her and bring her to health and wholeness.
You remain in my prayers, metmom. I pray that God will guide your new doctors and the answer will be found. I pray that God will grant you peace, comfort, and renewed optimism. My prayers also continue for your whole family.
Prayers that you’ll be well.
Prayers for healing, peace and courage.
Now, about theories. I have two ~ one is that wheat has changed. Over the last 50 years they've been increasing the protein content. Wheat gluten IS that protein. It may have been many people could handle a 5% gluten content, but not today's 12.5% content.
My other theory is a bit more basic ~ through adroit use of anti-biotics folks now suffering from gluten intolerance survived to adulthood whereas in an earlier time they'd have simply died.
There's a third theory to explain why people didn't seem to have the problem ~ and that is that they lived out in the country and didn't eat modern wheat breads unless they took a vacation trip to a city. Otherwise they lived on cornbread and had just enough contact with wheat flour to collect enough sacks to make dresses.
Widespread use of "outhouses" limited their understanding of what was happening.
Be sure to read past the parts on "Oh, my word, it's all due to fructose" ~ I'm way past the time where I can remember what fructose even tasted like, and the problem is UNCHANGED!
Continued prayers for you as well LR . . . and your family . . .
and for Alamo-Girl’s niece.
Any updates, A-G?
Been on Singulair for years.
I tried a generic of Zantac and broke out really badly from it.
She is getting stronger every day, Praise God!!! Thank you for asking.
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
PRAISE GOD.
THX.
Prayers are lifted up for one of my favorite freepers!
I just stopped by the thread to let you know I’m praying for you.
Of course, I have my own tales to tell, nothing as serious as the challenges you’re facing. I’m not sharing them now. I don’t want to diminish the serious of your problem. Of course, I have a suggestion. I’m sure you’ve heard it and tried it.
I’m just praying.
Prayers up, certainly. My god-daughter & her sister both have horrific food allergies. It’s a pretty heavy cross.
part of my problem too, and I also am related to the Saami people thru my mother's side.
With histamine allergy, never eat any leftovers, period. If you do want to, put them in the freezer ASAP, and eat later. the four day rotation diet could help
Avoid raspberries or any kind of raspberry product-- high in salicylates, and other histamine causing foods p. me too, and I'm also Saami from my mother's side.
me too. I get a super sudden intense pressure in my head and ears, and my blood pressure drops suddenly, and I pass out. Doctors refuse to acknowledge it's real. I guess when I'm dead they'll be convinced. Prob not
thanks Mu, this genetic thing may well help me out
YUCK.
Met Mom didn’t get however much needed from
A MORE EXCELLENT WAY bk
by Henry Wright nor his seminar at his church.
A lot of people have. You might check it out.
Has helped my stuff.
PRAYERS, anyway.
The other . . . issues. . . are on hold, for now. Thanks for your caring and prayers.
and msg makes people fat, which is likely the real reason for the epidemic we see now
