That was a typo. It was supposed to be one. I still don't have my biopsy results from my endoscopy, but the findings according to my paperwork were grade B esophagitis and localized continuous erythema and friability of the mucosa in the antrum which is compatible with gastritis. She took lots of biopsies of my stomach, esophagus, and small intestine. Hoping to find out results this week!

I had an Elisa blood test for 90 Antigens run looking at IgG4 and there were 23 foods on the list that I reacted to.  Some reactions were mild, some moderate and some severe.  My yeast numbers were off the charts so they also did traditional allergy testing for IgE on both brewers and bakers yeast,  They came back super positive, so all yeast is out.  The other 21 foods were eliminated from my diet for about 2 years to give my overtaxed immune system time to calm down once on the gluten-free and Casein Free diet.  I added them back one at a time, one serving per day every other day and then had to keep track of pulse, BP, rashes, digestive issues etc.  Then I had to wait 2 weeks before trying another food.  I was able to put back everything except blueberries, oysters, cranberries, dairy, vanilla (I have to use the fake stuff) manufactured citric acid (because it is grown on aspergillus), clams, chocolate, black tea and cinnamon.  All cause a rise in my pulse within hours and BP is higher the next day.  Vanilla, chocolate, blueberries and cranberries also caused hives and dairy products gave me diarrhea within hours, every single time.   Once I accepted my fate, I felt so much better.  Lemon, orange, peach and strawberry became my dessert flavors and I really no longer miss the chocolate, vanilla and cinnamon.   Once I stopped cheating I was fine and 

I’m doing OK except for an instance of cross contamination that knocked me for a loop over the weekend. Feeling much better today with still a little fatigue. Picking up tips on how to avoid future such incidents and becoming aware of just how sensitive I am. Looking forward to better days with more hope for improved health than prior to diagnosis. 

My husband has had occasional A fib since 1986.  He spent years on Digoxin and Quinidine, with no reduction in the number of episodes.  Then, he was put on Verapamil as a pill in the pocket and did fine for about 5 years until it stopped working for him.  Then he went on Flecainide as a pill in the pocket.  His first 2 cardiologists had him on a "heart healthy diet" that was low in fat, practically no red meat, and high in pasta, Cheerios and Oatmeal and other carbs,  and he regularly went into A Fib.   His new, younger, cardiologist reviewed over 30 years of his medical records and said there was never any indication of heart disease.  All the cardio tests were perfectly normal,  He is Vietnamese and has a more holistic practice than most cardiologists.  My husband's BP has been rising as he ages, but he has had severe adverse reactions to every drug they tried, so instead he is on Vitamin C to bowel tolerance, Hawthorne, Hibiscus, Celery Seed, Grape Seed Extract and Resveratrol and his BP has come down 35 points, to a level acceptable to the doctor for his age.  He has an MTHFR mutation, which they believe causes the drug reactions due to his inability to detox.  The only  levels he seems concerned about are how high is the HDL and how low are the triglycerides, and how high is his Vitamin D level.  HDL was 77, Triglycerides were 62 and Vitamin D was 86.  He is only concerned with LDL is the particle types  and he has the good kind, the "fluffy" ones, and they are in a good range.  He only uses statins as a drug of last resort because of the side effects.  My husband was on one years ago and within 6 months developed a cataract, which the cardiologist and eye doctor at the time recognized as a side effect so they said no more. As a matter of routine he puts all his cardiology patients on a Sugar, gluten-free and Dairy free diet because it is his firm belief that inflammation is the root cause of all chronic disease and sugar, gluten and dairy are the foods he considers the worst offenders. They inflame the heart and the lining of the blood vessels leading to those blockages.   He also put him on Keto and severely restricted his carb intake.  Lo and behold, the A Fib disappeared.  My husband had to keep a food diary and  every episode of A Fib, which only occurred in the middle of the night, could be traced to his meals.  He was referred to a gastroenterologist.  His digestion is really poor.  So many foods cause him gas and that also puts him into A Fib.  The ran a test where they pumped his stomach full of air and on the table he went into A Fib.  They determined that his gut was pushing up on his diaphragm which in turn pushed on his heart triggering A Fib. So, no more Heart Healty beans!  His history told the tale too!  Abdominal radiation at age 21 for cancer damaged his gut and led to his dyspepsia, which led to A Fib. He now has a diagnosis of Roemheld Syndrome. If he sticks to his very low carb, no gas producing, gluten, dairy and sugar free diet he is fine.  He also was told to take a probiotic daily and digestive enzymes with his lunch and dinner.  He is on an annual visit basis with both gastro and cardiologist.  He has a Kardio Mobile and has to send results to the cardiologist, along with his food diary for any day he has A Fib.  Every single time we are able to pinpoint the cause.  Sometimes he just can't help himself and eats a banana, an orange, cookies and pretzels on the same day and then no one is surprised when he goes into A Fib.  His cardiologist prescribes Flecainide as a pill in the pocket to stop an attack, which always happens within 2-3 hours.  The gastro recommends brands and dosages of probiotics and digestive enzymes after running annual blood tests to test his digestive enzyme levels.   Having doctors get to the root cause, instead of just doling out prescriptions to mask symptoms has made all the difference in the world.  His cardio said no Covid jabs because of his tendency for A Fib and he also has a long history of blood clots related to his prior cancer treatment.  He also recommended that our adult son, with a history of pericarditis, skip them.  Thankfully  my doctor also said no because my other autoimmune diseases, Hashimoto's and Psoriasis, were finally both totally under control.
