  1. @LookingForAnswers101Ooh I can also eat coconut, and probably because the ingredients are so highly processed I can eat gluten free bread even though it contains ingredients I can’t usually tolerate. I’m currently trying high lectin foods that've been through a pressure cooker but not much luck so far, pressure cooked mashed potatoes are fine but nee...
  2. I don’t think it matters much, there’s another type of cordyceps but I’m not sure if there’s a lot of difference, the one I’m using is cordyceps sinensis from maesyffin in wales, sinensis is the one with a long history of medicinal use in china. I think the alcohol (vodka) in the tincture helps with uptake vs taking capsules. And yes, changing my diet h...
  3. I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. ...
  4. 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.
  5. 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 th...
  6. Ah thanks, it did seem odd people buying stuff as a heath supplement that is so damaging. Not sure I’d risk eating anything extracted from soy or sunflower anyway but it explains the mystery.
  7. Wow I didn’t know Lactobacillus made lectins, these things are everywhere! I know they must have some heath benefits because I see things like soy and sunflower lectins for sale in health food shops, often wondered why people buy them. It’s pretty extreme to cut them out but they are the only common factor in the massive list of foods that make my gut...
  8. I used to like pickled cucumbers but sadly they’re high lectin. There is a correlation between microbiome dysbiosis and auto immune disease, that’s for sure. I tried grass fed a2 raw milk but still had issues. Lactose free milk was worse so it’s not the lactose.
  9. Yup, and I don’t eat meat. It’s easier than it sounds and there are ways to reduce lectins, soaking, fermenting, pressure cooking. I’ve found I can eat pressure cooked mash potatoes but rice I have to cook it to a mush to make it safe and can’t tolerate fermented soya. Dr gundry also talks a bit about Neu5Gc in meat and dairy which displaces Neu5Ac ...
  10. I’ve had a bit of a breakthrough re other intolerances, largely thanks to knittykitty pointing out that pumpkin seeds contain lectins, I didn’t even know gluten was a lectin! So is avenin in oats, they’re in most foods, chilli is high in lectins. I’ve cut out all lectins and the difference is incredible, I thought everything must be cross contaminated with gl...
  11. @B1rdL0ver I do the same with things of interest, my brain isn’t great these days. Hope you feel better soon, if you’re worried about essential oils being oily then don’t, they are technically oils but very thin and will help dry your skin.
  12. @B1rdL0ver easiest way would be to buy blanched almonds that will already have had the skins removed or you could blanch your own, just dip them in boiling water for about 10 seconds, then run under a old tap to cool and remove the skins. When blanched and peeled just soak them in water overnight in the fridge and then put them in the blender, much cheaper...

  14. @B1rdL0ver almonds are high in lectins but it’s in the skin so you could boil and peel some to make your own low lectin milk. I thought I’d been glutening myself with all sorts of things, assumed it was cross contamination with wheat but it turned out to be lectins. There’s various ways to reduce them, peeling, deseeding, high temperatures (pressure cooki...
  15. Hi @B1rdL0ver, I’ve been on a steep learning curve with my issues and found a few things that might help with yours. Skin problems - I use neat cardamom essential oil, clove also works or a blend of the two which smells good. The relief is pretty much immediate, some people advise caution using neat essential oil on skin but I’ve never had a problem wit...
