Hello, I have recently signed up looking for some insights into problems I have been having the past year and half. It started with memory issues, I used to have a fantastic memory but over the years(after 25), it has diminished but I have only noticed it in early 2016 when I started to forget things more than I was used to. Then my knees started to hurt, both are still present to this day. The next thing that happened was skin issues, i started to itch, especially when I was out in the sun(it can get pretty sunny in Arizona), or if I get excited or angry or if i took a hot shower. This was around late 2016. After this, things got worse, my joint pain got worse, and it spread to my wrists and toes as well as some fingers as well as my back. After visiting doctors and having failed to get any answers, I started to do some research on my own and I finally realized my symptoms correlate with my eating habits. Certain foods trigger them, such as sweet potatoes, all grains, watermelons, green tea, mushrooms, cashews and even fish. it's weird that some of the food you'd go to, to improve your health makes me sick. I tried to supplement but to no avail as well, I took multivitamins and I badly reacted to it. It made my pain worse, so I tried to supplement on individual vitamins and I reacted to each and everyone of them as well. I tried fish oil, i reacted to that and I even tried bone broth and digestive enzymes to see if they'd help with my gut but i had bad reactions with those as well.
currently when I eat the foods that I have mentioned, I get back inflammation, really bad pain that feels like a vertical wound along the spine, headaches, visible twitching all over the body, joint pain. On top of this, my hands will fall asleep if I apply a little pressure on them, same with my legs. My memory is slightly better than before which is the only thing I am happy about it.
I suspect it might not be the food itself but something else, like a problem with my digestion. they did a nutritional test and it didn't work the first time, but the second time I got the following results. I am deficient in vitamin b1, and I am borderline deficient in the rest of the B family, save for B12. I am also borderline deficient in folate, vitamin E, Selenium and Calcium. I had a low white blood count as well.
I hope I didn't write too much. I appreciate to those who'll respond, thank you.
