Medicinal mushrooms 🍄

I can’t say this will work for everyone but for me the difference is incredible so might be worth trying.

I’ve never been diagnosed celiac but via an elimination diet I realised I can’t eat any lectins, gluten soy and oats are particularly problematic. If I eat them I’m in bed for a week, then heavy bleeding and extreme pain for another, followed by a third week of bleeding on and off. My skin was a mess and it snowed when I brushed my hair.

Since taking reishi and cordyceps mushroom tincture I can’t believe the difference, I’ve had a lot of help from this site so I want to return the favour.

I took the tincture for my guts but the most apparent effect is that I feel like my brain works again, I can’t begin to describe how wonderful it is to be able to achieve basic things, I’ve barely been able to organise getting out of bed for so long, it feels like I haven’t been hit over the head with a mallet for the first time in years.

Then I glutened myself, not necessarily gluten as so many things wipe me out but definitely ate something I shouldn’t have, I took a treble dose of the tincture and almost immediately felt much better so continued with the increased dose and three days (not weeks) later was back to feeling great, no bleeding involved. My skin is better than I can remember it ever being, I feel great 😊.

I spend £1.50 a day on these but it’s worth every penny, I hope this helps someone else out there reading this. I wish I’d known about them 20 years ago.

best wishes everyone 🍄

Wow! I'd be interested to know where you get the tinctures. You can DM me if you wish. There's a Spanish company ... hifasdaterra ... who make high quality medicinal mushrooms in capsule form.

I don’t think it matters much if you trust the supplier, I get them from a Welsh company maesyffin mushrooms but I think the guy there has retired from growing now and just resells eu imports so it’s probably the same mushrooms he uses to make the tinctures as the company you posted.

It’d probably be cheaper to buy dried and make your own tincture.

      I see nothing in the ingredient list that concerns me from a gluten intolerant perspective.

      Is "Shield" skincare products gluten-free?

      By LynnM · Posted

      Hello. My 13 YO son has celiac disease and terrible acne. Our older son, not celiac disease is using a product that is new on the mkt within the last few years called SHIELD. Body wash, cream and patches. Wonderful results. I contacted the Co and they were very helpful but definitely suggested we contact our G.I. specialist, I have done so but I have not heard back from her. Below is the correspondence with the company and I was wondering if anyone here could please tell me whether or not these ingredients are safe.     Hi Lynn, thank you for reaching out and for your interest in our products! To ensure transparency, here is the full list of ingredients used in our products. While we do not add gluten-containing ingredients, we always recommend reviewing the list below if you have sensitivities or allergies. Moisturizer Ingredients: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Juice Squalane Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer Niacinamide Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract Glycerin Butyrospermum Parkii (Shea) Oil Tetrahexyldecyl Ascorbate (Vitamin C) Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerine Face Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide (Curoxyl-42) Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Alpha Olefin Sulfonate Propylene Glycol Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Glycerin Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Cholesterol Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Carbomer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Niacinamide Sodium Hyaluronate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Ethylhexylglycerin Pimple Patches: Hydrocolloid Body Wash Ingredients: Active: 4.0% Benzoyl Peroxide Inactive: Water Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine Propylene Glycol Sodium Hyaluronate Niacinamide Ceramide NP Ceramide AP Ceramide EOP Phytosphingosine Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate Propanediol Glycolic Acid Tetrasodium EDTA Sodium Hydroxide Carbomer Acrylates Copolymer Xanthan Gum Phenoxyethanol Ethylhexylglycerin If you have a gluten allergy, we recommend consulting your healthcare provider before use, just to be safe. Let me know if you have any other questions, I’m happy to help!

      almost a year in recovery - so many questions about to give up

      By kopiq · Posted

      so im short a year of diagnosis this october. As soon as I was diagnosed i quit all gluten and relied on buckwheat and potatoes at times as my carb sources. Due to a power outage i could not eat buckwheat for a couple days, i felt better but when power was back on i ate buckwheat and felt sick, i soon cut it out of my diet.long story short I have developed psoriasis and cramping in my calves and feet, brutal cramping at that. I cut out rice and potatoes and corn and eggs as consuming them would make my psoriasis extremely itchy. I have only ate sweet poatoes and plantins for two months straight 5 to 6 times a day with no symptoms other than slow digestion of small intestine. I was also diagnosed with raynauds phenomenon recently. that's three auto immune diseases that i know about, I have constant belching from mouth even just eating chicken, Im so sick of sweet potatoes and plantains, i have no idea what to eat anymore.  the major trigger I have had with celiac is my nervous system, I was numb to everything and as I heal i have more sensation. I got sick with flu and covid during this time and I felt physically and mentally fine even though my wife was vomiting, i could feel the body aches and chills but was numb to feeling sick to my stomach. its like celiac masked the sensation which is scary cause if I was really sick with something serious I would not know it. Im at the point that im eating rice and potatoes even though it flares my psoriasis and causing inflammation and this numbness in my stomach genital area as my digestion get slower. I think im lacking enzymes but dont know for sure my dr has done so many blood tests for liver, pancreas, gall bladder, rheumatoid arthritis and thyroid all which she says comes back fine. I dont know what to do anymore, am i hurting my small intestine (villi) by eating eggs, rice and corn? they do flare my itch psoriasis and cause inflammation to the point of numbness in lower stomach genital area,  but is it affecting my villi? i need carbs, but all these grains effect my nervous system, I have so much gas from eating it affect my erections and sensations during sex, i havent had sexual arousal in almost a year, i only feel strong pressure and when it is over the pressure is gone and i have a lot of flatulence. its the strangest thing like something needs to relax down there and it relives pressure and gas. need help, my dr dosent know what to do. do i need immune suppressants?   thanks.

      Need GI doctor referral

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      While I don’t have a specific personal recommendation, there are several ways to find a skilled GI doctor in Tucson who specializes in celiac disease. Check the Celiac Disease Foundation’s Healthcare Practitioner Directory for listed providers in Arizona: https://celiac.org/about-celiac-disease/find-a-healthcare-practitioner/ Also, local healthcare systems like Banner-University Medicine or El Rio Health may have gastroenterologists with celiac expertise—consider asking for referrals to doctors familiar with gluten-related disorders. When contacting potential doctors, ask about their experience with celiac diagnosis, follow-up protocols, and whether they work with dietitians.

      Need GI doctor referral

      By Trina Zee · Posted

      Several years ago I attended a celiac group meeting in Tucson and I was referred to a doctor who was serving as the Celiac Group's resource for medical info.  He was very helpful to my situation (Dr Lindsey Pearson) but I understand that he's no longer in Tucson.  Can you tell me what doctor is working with your group now as I'm once again looking for a doctor.  Dr Pearson was a gi doc, fyi.
