Hey,
I would appreciate if Vitamin C would give me diarrhe, because most times I am constipated no matter what I do about it...
But Vitamin C does no give me diarrhe, but unfortunately I cannot tolerate vitamin C because exactly the same symptoms come up, which already came with Quercetine (it is not the magnesium stearate, as this is also in other supps which I can tolerate well). I tried pure ascorbic powder and also calcium ascorbat. First time I took 5g of Vitamin C ascorbic powder with no bowel issues. But it triggered the histamine like symptoms...
So there are many beneficial supps which lead to this symptoms in my case:
Tumeric, Quercetine, Vitamin C and NAC.
Yesterday I was eating out and pepperoni triggered the symptoms again...
@Gondwanaland:
It is impossible that Vitamin C is bad for us. But it seems that it triggers something which makes us feel so bad, that we cannot take it. But what the hell is going on there?! Maybe it triggers detoxification?
But as I said: Some medication like Modafinil or Cialis/Levitra trigger the same symptoms. They are not antioxidants. So it is really crazy and no doctor can help me with this. I just can avoid all these substances. I even tried to ignore there symptoms but this lead to heavy sickness. So I won´t do this again...
I really have no idea what to do. Everything which should be good for people with autoimmune diseases triggers these symptoms.
I can try Lithium but I don´t think that this will be THE key nutrient which makes everything ok. With a bit luck, I have better mood with this but I cannot expect more of it.
I want to find a good method to look for heavy metal toxification in my body (I have no hair growth, so no hair analysis possible). So I look for a method to diagnose and to thread heavy metall exposure in the hope that this could be a key point.
Do you have any good idea? (I do not looking for methods which just seem to function because of placebo effects as these never worked in my case...). I found a doctor who worked with bicom therapy but when searching for this I always found that this impossible to function...Many holistic doctors in Germany work with methods which failed to deliver evidence in what they claimed to be able to.
My bowl symptoms and mood are little more stable last 2-3 weeks. But it is stable at a low energy-, low drive/motivation- and light- (serotonin deficient) depressive state. But really light. Before the ketogenic diet I had to cry often for no reason or I felt heavy guilt or sadness for no reason. This all is really better. But better means not good enough. I have too less energy, no libido, no motivation and still slight feeling of sadness/guilt. Everything is fluctuation over a day. So I am never the hole say slightly sad. But I am most times low energy and maybe 1-2 hours full with good energy. 1 hour sad, 1 hour normal, 1 hour sad, 1 hour normal. The best I can achieve is light happyness for a few minutes...
A year ago (when my digestive system wordked better) I used to take a little tryptophan and went running. This helped a lot.
But taking tryptophan makes me feel worse now (bowel and psychic). As if I cannot digest it or it is digest to something bad. Maybe 5-htp would be the solution?!
Next steps:
- taking Lithium 5-10mg as soon as it arrives (will be in 1-2 weeks)
- Taking Cod-liver Oil for getting Vitamin A and D (starting tomorrow)
- Taking Vitamin K2 (starting next week as soon as it arrives)
- Taking niacine (maybe tomorrow- i have to be careful as it triggered mania in some bipolar patients)
- after I know that I tolerate niacine I can try metafolin/methylcobalamin again because Dr. Lynch says that niacin can work against the side effects of overmethylation.
- Taking small amounts of lactulose everyday as a prebiotic (I don´t tolerate Bimuno, it triggers histamine like symptoms, Inulin triggers depression and dizzyness)Maybe lactulose also helps with my constipation
