Corinne, 

Histamine causes the adrenal glands to release adrenaline, it's the same adrenaline that's released in the fight or flight response.  Adrenaline counters the  histamine.  Eventually the adrenal glands can't keep up and become fatigued, and then things go downhill from there.  

I rather doubt you'll get scurvy in three days.  Not taking the Vitamin C is just a suggestion to see if one thing will make a difference.  You've said you haven't changed anything since you lost fish weeks ago.  I'm just thinking the culprit is still in something you're currently consuming.

Read the section on "Overdose of Vitamin C."  

Best wishes, 

Knitty Kitty

Hi Corrine, They make these iron fish to put in cooking water.  It's a way to add a small amount of iron to your diet without taking a pill.  Maybe it would work for you and not make you sick.

Hello, Corinne, welcome to the forum.  You are suffering and my heart goes out to you.   I suggest you talk to your doctor about "refeeding syndrome".  Here's an article about it. https://ww

That's a great suggestion, GFinDC! I was thinking of buying an iron skillet now that I can eat meat, but the lucky fish would actually work better for making broth. As for oils, I have always tri

knitty kitty, in February, when I stopped tolerating some of my vitamins and my medication, I took them all out for a week, then reintroduced them one by one. Vitamin C caused no issues, I only reacted to the steroids and the vitamins with fillers. But I can repeat the experiment, no problem, and will report next week. As a side note, I take 250mg of vitamin C daily, hardly an amount to overdose on.

Hi, Corinne,

Brave girl!  Cheers to you!  Thanks for trying my suggestion.  For a week then, no Vitamin C.  Everything else keep the same.

The RDA for Vitamin C is between 75 and 120 mg per day, depending on age and sex.  So, while still not a large amount, it's still more than required and you've been taking it a while.  Let's see what happens.  You might want to keep a food/mood/poo'd journal to track any changes.  I hope you start feeling better!  I will be looking forward to the results.

      So, is their reasoning for doing another biopsy after you've been gluten free for awhile to get a comparison of before and after? In other words, there should be healing of the SB lining if you go gluten free for awhile if you have celiac disease?

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By trents · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @Tazzy11! Yes, your DGP-IGG test is positive. It means you could have celiac disease. But there are other possible causes for an elevated DGP-IGG count. I note that your TTG-IGA was not positive. The TTG-IGA is considered the chief celiac antibody test and a bit more reliable than the DGP-IGG. But let me ask you an important question. Prior to the blood draw, had you already begun to limit your intake of gluten? Also, were these the only two tests ordered to check for celiac disease? A physician should always order what we call the "total IGA" test (it goes by other names as well) to check for IGA deficiency. If you are IGA deficient, the scores for individual IGA celiac antibody tests, such as the TTG-IGA will be falsely low. By the way you spelled "coeliac" I judge you must be in the UK. There are several other antibody tests that can ordered when checking for celiac disease in order to get a more complete picture. Here is an article outlining the various tests:

      Pathology results - coeliac positive?

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      This article might be helpful. It breaks down each type of test, and what a positive results means in terms of the probability that you might have celiac disease. One test that always needs to be done is the IgA Levels/Deficiency Test (often called "Total IGA") because some people are naturally IGA deficient, and if this is the case, then certain blood tests for celiac disease might be false-negative, and other types of tests need to be done to make an accurate diagnosis. The article includes the "Mayo Clinic Protocol," which is the best overall protocol for results to be ~98% accurate.    Per this article: They will likely schedule an endoscopy to see if you have celiac disease, and for this they would want you to continue eating gluten daily until that test is completed.

      Augmentin (amoxicillin) syrup

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
