Made Myself Sick

HI everyone

I made myself so sick this weekened. Guess what I did? I left a molded lemon in my cabinet and was inhaling and eating the spores. Yes It's true. So I have had pop rock candy guts allll this time. I also feel sooo hungry even after i eat and I am losing weight drastically. 96 pounds has anyone been this thin before. I don't know what to do. Should I open the doors or keep them closed or what? Should I take a probiotic even if I have mercury and candida already. I don't know. Rachel what do you think is the best to do in this situation. I was wondering if I should take seacure to keep the weight on but you said it might not work. I am desperated. the dentist won't see me till the 15 of may. He will only work on one tooth at a time because of the immune system he said. If he does more my highly surpressed immune system will go down and the mercury will attack in full force. I am scared and worried. I feel sicker everyday and my bladder pain is worse. They have air filtration systems their also. The only dentist in fresno that has it. He knows what he is talking about. He gave me information on mercury and what it can do. 87% of people with multiple sclerosis got better or cured after the mercury was out.

he gave me a facts sheet I will type more stuff later. I also had to take a blood test to show what kind of composites that he can work with to put back in my mouth since some composites will be more toxic than mercury because of the mercury in my system. A special lab had to do a in vitro test with the blood the different materials and mercury to see the reaction. The dentist can't just put anything in my teeth or mouth because later on it can be more toxic and I would never get better. Just pray that I will make It through this. I will pray for you all to.

Lisa, I'm sorry you are feeling bad.

I think your dentist is right in going slow with the amalgam removal since you are so sensitive. Anyone with mercury toxicity is going to have a candida problem because the body allows more candida to neutralize the mercury. I don't know that I'd mess with the candida until you are working on getting the mercury out.

I LOVE to air out my house. The first thing I do when it's nice outside is open the windows! I hate the dead of winter when the house is all closed up. The other option is an air cleaner.

I wouldn't think that one lemon would put that much mold into the air, but airing out the house is a good idea. I'd wash out where the lemon was, too.

I've heard about a lot of people around here being that thin before. Just keep eating right, and try to eat more often than you really want to. I found weight lifting to be a help because my body built up some muscle, but I'd avoid cardio right now if I were you.

Lisa,

Be really careful with mold. Hopefully you dont have any mold in your home....other than the lemon. I would definately air out the house but breathing the spores like you did could mess you up for awhile.

Also make sure you get rid of the lemon in an outside garbage.

I took the bloodtest to check for compatibility also. Its true that you could be sensitive to any materials they put in your mouth. Its a good idea to know whats safe so you dont end up with composites you're allergic to....which would make everything worse. It sounds like your dentist is really good. I'm gald you're in good hands.

I also like that hes only removing one filling at a time. As sick as you are right now...that is definately the best way to go about it. He doesnt want you to get too much exposure at one time. He's doing the best he can to not get you more sick during the process.

Hopefully he'll space out the removals so that your body has time to detox what it can in between...hopefully either your dentist or your Dr. will have you on detox supplements to help your body deal with any exposure you may have during the removal. It should be very minimal because he's got the right equipment...but still...you need all the protection you can get.

I wasnt sick at all before my amalgam removal. I didnt really want them taken out but one of them was broken and the dentist said the other one was deteriorating...so he needed to replace them. I didnt know anything about mercury at that time. He didnt use anything to protect me...just drilled them out.

Thats how I got sick...right after that I started getting all the symptoms and reacting to chemicals, foods, molds and everything else. It happened really fast...within weeks I was on disability. :(

Personally I would not take the SeaCure or the probiotics or anything else right now. SeaCure got me alot sicker. I lost all kinds of weight and couldnt gain anything back. I was at 94 lbs. and I didnt start gaining until I stopped the supplements...all of them....even the probiotics.

Once I stopped taking supplements I gained more than 10 lbs. and my weight has been stable ever since. Its been about a year now....my weights been stable at 110. I cant gain anything more but at least I'm not losing.

My body cant process alot of this stuff so even if its "suppossed" to be good...its not necessarily good for ME. Some of it can be quite bad or even toxic because it doesnt get utilized the way it should or the immune system is reactive to it.

I would stop taking supplements and see how you feel after a few weeks. If you want you can always try them again...one at a time though...so you can see if you develop problems or additional symptoms.

I know SeaCuRE affected me in a bad way. I wouldnt take it...after all its FISH. :o

It might contain mercury...I dont know but I did get ALOT worse taking the SeaCure. <_<

I have it all written in my journals I was keeping back then....It was definately SeaCure making me sicker. I didnt ever think about the fact that it could contain mercury until you mentioned it a couple weeks ago...I think you're probably right about that!! It could definately explain why I was getting so much worse!!

I hope you feel better soon.

P.S.

I also responded to your post in the OMG thread. :)

Dear Lisa,

I was once down to 84 pounds! I was very ill. I still am, but now I am holding my weight (a bit too well, actually!) I could stand to lose a few now. Mold is difficult to avoid. It seems to be everywhere! Make sure you do not have it in your fridge. Spoiled food can trigger reactions even when you do not eat it! Keep your produce in the fridge. Really, when you have Candida, you are to not eat vinegar, leftovers (food 24 hours or more old), alcohol, fermented foods, fruit, refined carbohydrates, dairy or sugar. Yeast is also out in any form. I definitely feel worse on days it rains. It has been raining for three days now. Sunday we should finally get some sun again. Holding your weight is difficult at times. Candida can make you too thin or too fat.

Sincerely,

NoGluGirl

      I take Clonidine for blood pressure control.  It is the only one that did not debiltate me.  It also helps with my ADD.  Doctors always turned me down when I requested Ritalin (I am an adult) so it turned out for the best that I reacted badly to all the different BP meds they tried. Originally Clonidine was developed for ADHD adolescents that could not tolerate Ritalin.

      You should also have her checked for vitamin deficiencies.   "Iodine's presence in the diet can contribute positively to hair strength and elasticity by maintaining hair follicle cycling and supporting the synthesis of hair shaft components like keratin. Keratin is strong and won't dissolve in diluted acids, alkalines, solvents, or water" "Keratosis pilaris is a benign skin condition characterized by small bumps around hair follicles. It is caused by excess keratin, a protein that forms hair, nails, and skin. Iodine is not directly related to keratosis pilaris, but certain foods can help improve it" It could be deficiency in iodine may be causing the keratosis Polaris.  Insufficient iodine intake affects healing, intellegence skin and nails. The average intake of iodine fell 50% from 1970 to now.  A Medium Urinary Iodine Concentration test will indicate intake.  TSH and T4 will not show iodine intake deficiency until damage is being done. Most newly diagnosed Celiac Disease and other autoimmune diseases are deficient in vitamin D when diagnosed.  Other than bone growth, vitamin D is essential for mental health and the immune system.

      Just finished my second celebrity cruise. My first was on one of their oldest ships, it was awesome! Now we have sailed on the edge class. Wow! Not only do they have so many gluten-free options but the selection is mind blowing! Any given day you will have between 5 to 7 different gluten-free cakes to try. Yes that is right, one day at the coffee shop I had to choose between 5 gluten-free cakes not including the several puddings on display. So they gave me a small piece of each. 2 were great, 2 were just good, and 1 I did not enjoy. But never have I had the tough decision of which cake to eat?  These selections are from their normal options available for all guest. In the main dining room they always surprised me with some awesome desserts.  In my opinion the best pizza was on the Millennium class and best buffet on the Edge class. Although these two ship vary in size they are both consistent and serving high quality food from the main dinning room. The edge class gives you 4 “main” dining rooms (all included). I was unsure how this would work with my gluten-free diet? It worked great! I was able to order or see the next night’s menu for each of the four dinning venues finding that very little to no modifications needed to be made due to their extensive gluten free options.  The Millennium and Edge class ships provide the best gluten-free options from any of the cruise lines I have sailed with. You will find a larger selection and options on the edge class ships, however you will not be disappointed with the smaller Millennium class. Which is still my favorite cruise ship to date.

      Welcome to the forum, @ABP! We can't comment on the test numbers you give as you didn't include the range for negative. Different labs use different units and different ranges. There are no industry standards for this so we need more information. If your daughter doesn't have celiac disease she still could have NCGS (Non Celiac Gluten Sensitivity) which some experts believe can be a precursor to celiac disease and is 10x more common than celiac disease. However, there is no test for it yet but it does share many of the same symptoms with celiac disease. Both require complete abstinence from gluten.  It is seldom the case during testing where all tests are positive, even for those who do have celiac disease. This is no different than when diagnosing other medical conditions and that is why it is typical to run numbers of tests that come at things from different angles when seeking to arrive at a diagnosis. It seems like you are at the point, since you have had both blood antibody testing and endoscopy/biopsy done, that you need to trial the gluten free diet. If her symptoms improve then you know all you need to know, whatever you label you want to give it. But given that apparently at least one celiac antibody blood test is positive and she has classic celiac symptoms such as slow growth, constipation and bloating, my money would be on celiac disease as opposed to NCGS.

      My nine-year-old daughter has suffered with severe constipation and bloating for years as well as frequent mouth sores, and keratosis Polaris on her arms. She also has recently decreased on her growth curve her % going down gradually.  After seeing a gastroenterologist, her IgG GLIADIN (DEAMIDATED) AB (IGG) was 22.4 while her IGA was normal. Her TISSUE TRANSGLUTAMINASE AB, IGA was 11.9.  Most recently her genetic test for celiac was positive.  After an endoscopy her tissue showed inflammation of the tissue as well as , increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs) but there was no blunting of the change in the villi.    It seems that every result that we get one out of two things positive rather than all leading to an inconclusive diagnosis. While we do have another appointment with the doctor to go over the results. I'm curious based on this information what others think.    I would hate to have her eliminate gluten if not necessary- but also don't want to not remove if it is necessary.    Signed Confused and Concerned Mama
