Thanks. I'm always atypical.

After a bad "glutening" which, in my case was presumably the barley in the beer (I checked their website for ingredients) what's the longest you've ever heard or experienced to show some marked improvement? It's been 11 days for me so far, only minor improvement.
-
Ok, got it. Tks.
-
Agreed, but I also read that taking too much can cause kidney stones.

My vit D levels were checked a few months ago and they were the bare minimum, like 32.

Yes, I've been taking magnesium citrate too. I think it didn't help that chanca piedra (I hear) can strip other vitamins out of you while cleansing. So, I'm sure I am depleted since I've been taking it for 2 months. Tks!

Oh right. Well, I need to get over this painful hump, I'm not eating gluten right now. Once the inflammation goes down I will eat it again and then test. No more beer though! It must've been the barley. I don't have too terrible reactions to some wheat if it's refined, so I can stand eating a small amount before the test. Thanks!

Thanks much for that info. I have been taking B complex since this happened. Doesn't appear to help and I don't seem to have the symptoms of thiamine deficiency. I think/guess it is inflammation from the barley in the craft beer. The only symptom I have is SEVERE muscle cramping/spasms and they are only marginally better than 10 days ago. Literal torture...

Ok, will do. That's what ALCAT said on the results. It was about 6-8 years ago.

Yeah, I tried Flomax and it didn't work for me. I've been using herbal formulas with chanca piedra in them and other stuff. Lemon juice took away the original attack/flank pain because I guess it breaks down the stone depending on what it is made of (makes the urine alkaline). I've gone through 10 bags of lemons and it is almost out of the ureter. My last...

Yes, I am getting medical help as well throughout the process: X-rays, ultrasound, CT scan, bloodwork to monitor kidney swelling, function and location of the stone. It's almost in the bladder, but still stuck. I've taken several herbal formulas to move it along, but it is very stubborn. I got the Alcat test years ago and it said I had "Non-Celiac severe...

Thanks for this info. I actually heard beer helps to move them from several sources, including one who said his urologist told him to drink beer. I figured it was worth a try (or two) but, it didn't work for me and ended up majorly hurting me. I think beer is a diuretic, so maybe that's why it works for some people. I'm still recovering 10 days later and...

Believe me, I have learned my lesson. This muscle pain is comparable to kidney stone pain and if you've had those, you know you never want to experience it again.

Hi Everyone! This is my first post. I'm desperate to find out if anyone on here has had a similar experience to what I'm going through. I have non-Celiac severe gluten sensitivity, but most of the time get away with eating certain forms of it. Can cause me bearable muscle pain. I have a stuck kidney stone and read that drinking beer helps to move it. So,...
