Candida infection or something else?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I remain sceptical on every information, but I do try to do my own research. I did not know what other things they are pushing, but the video did explain some things. If the anecdotal information of what is said is scientifically accurate, this can shine a light on why I feel how I feel. I am well aware of the problems on the internet, "if this worked... -
Candida infection or something else?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This explains everything. I do have some symptoms of POTS (but no drop in pressure) or tachycardia, but it became better since I started going gluten free. And a lot of random unexplained symptoms, that appear and disappear. Also it explaines my heat sensitivity and why my blood pressure is out of whack. Sometimes I have 10/6, sometimes 13/8, and then 15... -

I did read that erythrocyte transketolase test is good, but it's not available here. The only blood test I have here is this "thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP)", it's still better than the old thiamine serum test from what I've learned. Also, I did see a difference in heat tolerance and my eyes not being so sensitive to light anymore. For a whole year, even... -
Candida infection or something else?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
This is indeed weird, since I did start to feel better, I'm not that cranky, and I can arrange my thoughts better, the headache is gone, but I do feel that this won't last long since if there is a deficiency, only time will heal it. I wonder, after how many days, should I go and do a thiamine blood test. I don't want to start a thiamine supplement without... -

Question about thiamine deficiency, could it make you more agitated once you introduce it back? This morning I took just a small part from the B Complex 100, around 5%, and now I start to feel a little agitated, a pressure in the back of the head, just where the head and spine connect, sometimes it feels like a headache. I also experienced some nausea after... -

No, I don't have elevated blood calcium, they are just near the top. Also, my blood test for calcium came back, they look good, not over the top, still have to wait for PTH and blood phosphorus to come back, but now I doubt it's something wrong with them. I'd rather think I might have a B deficiency, since I stopped taking them a while back from my vitamin... -
Candida infection or something else?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
In the last days of me using the vitamin D, I developed weak muscles, some weak tremor in my mouth, and hands, weakness in legs and joints, fast breathing, and the most prominent, those dizzines that sometimes are like a mild headache, also hard to think and focus. Not all at once. Want to let you know I used the same vitamin D, two years ago. But I will... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I know it's not ok to post so many one after another, but I can't edit the comment again. I wanted to add the list of the ingredients inside my vitamin D supplement: Isomalt, microcrystalline cellulose, talcum, colecalciferol, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose, (another ingredient similar to hydroxypropyl, but I can't find anything about it "hydropropyl... -

Weird thing happened last night, that I forgot to ask here. Could there be small traces of gluten in my vitamin D supplement that I only now respond to it? Cause last night I got those rashes on my chest, I think some of them where blisters, at least one of it was, and when I scratched it, it imediably start bleeding a little, and now they have this... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've been taking them for such a long time. If I was allergic, I would have had a reaction from the start, and I did not, since I did an allergy panel a while back, and I had no allergy to sheep, also no fish or yeast allergy. It was a 255 allergy panel and the only allergy I have is to dust. -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I've stopped eating anything that has lactose, it made me have a bad digestion. The only calcium sources for me are either beans, spinach or other foods, like some fish, or some meats. My Vitamin D came back today, it's only 32.5 ng/ml. In the normal range. But for some reason my head still explodes when I take Vitamin D. Now I've read that Vitamin D... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Well, back when I did my Vitamin D levels, they where 15 ng/ml. After that data, I started taking 2000UI. Today I went and did my liver enzymes and my 25 OH Vitamin D. I'm still waiting for my Vitamin D levels, but there's good news, my liver enzymes are back to normal, I'm happy about that. Right now, with no actual data, I can just speculate that... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
Someone reminded me about vitamin D, that taking more than you need might cause my symptoms. I am/was still taking vit D for over two months, almost finishing the third, since I was deficient, but maybe now that I am gluten free for a while, I might have too much of it, even if I only took 2000UI. Also, that part for the "Elevated Liver Enzymes found... -

I will keep this in mind. Right now I don't have the money to try all the different supplements. But I did have a good magnesium supplement today in the morning, it did make me feel a little better. Also eating spinach makes me feel a little better, but it doesn't last that long. From what I can see, as day pass by, I feel weird. Like, I get more agitated... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I took a B complex the other day, I felt more agitated, but at night was the worse, I could not sleep well, got heart flutters, anxiety and a mild panic attack. For some reason I can't handle B vitamins. They make me feel the same as I've been drinking coffee, that's why I tend to avoid stimulants. Any reasons to why I would feel like this because of... -

Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Related Issues & Disorders
I did order a B complex today, the headaches, nausea and me feeling weak today, after I skiped a meal cause I didn't have time, and it made me think that there must be something related to this. Still feeling slugish today, and I think I might have been glutened, cause I have this, clogged nose, sinus pressure that spreads like a headache, sore throat, sneezing... -

Almost forgot, we don't have SIBO tests here where I live. Is there cheap alternative for testing SIBO? Also, do the natural treatments work for SIBO? I know that doing a google search there are alot of people saying that they work, just wanted to know if someone here cured their SIBO that way. -

I don't think I was very careful, I might have been eating sunflower seeds that say they might contain gluten, and other foods with big chance of having been contaminated. But now, that my doctor says that I might possible have it, and I should keep staying gluten free for more time, I will be more careful. Also, thank you everyone for helping me figure... -
Could it be celiac?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Update: I've been to the doctor, now he says I might possibly have celiac, and he also said to continue to have a gluten free diet, also I should come back for screening to see how my liver and sleen are doing. I might think that he wants to see how I'm responding to a gluten diet. -

I meant carbohydrates as a general category. There are some types of cancers that you need to stop eating carbs for a while, also there's some forms of autism, also some autoimmune problems and just a little search could show more. But those are the only ones that they need to remove carbs. Processed carbs are as bad as processed fat or processed protein... -

You're saying I should do a insuline blood test? That might not be a bad idea. Since, I had both of my grandparents from my father side with diabetes. I do agree that processed carbohydrates have a mild or big effect on us. I'm underlining processed since we need carbohydrates to function properly, the rare cases that you should avoid them is when they... -

Will take in considerations MCAS, also I see that histamine intolerance is another one, as for thiamine deficiency, don't think I have one, I'm eating enough food and I'm taking vitamin supplement that has B1 in it, well over a month now. Also, I'm rather fat, lost some weight, but it's hard now to lose even more, hence why I'm considering a candida... -

Thank you everyone for your responses. As for auto brewery syndrome, I did consider it, but I did a blood alcohol level test two hours after I've eaten a high carb meal. It came back negative. @cyclinglady I've been gluten free for almost two months. But, now I'm considering refeeding syndrom. I've read on the forum that this might be possible.... -
Hi, I've been having some weird feelings that get worse or appear when I eat (also, the more sugar/carbs it has, the more appears to worsen the feelings). The feelings are weakness, dizziness, headache, head pressure, anxiety, heart beats faster, sometimes nasal congestion and runny nose, those two seem better that they where a month ago. My doctor did...

Could it be celiac?
Ferguston replied to Ferguston's topic in Celiac Disease Pre-Diagnosis, Testing & Symptoms
Now this is something I would have never found searching on the internet. Will see what the doctor has to say about biopsy once I'll meet him. Maybe looking at my history he might not need to (I hope so, biospy is not something that I'm too happy about), but given how biopsy is a must for most adults, I won't escape it.
