I've noticed this several times over the last few years. Everytime I buy a pineapple and start eating it, I get
sores on my tongue. But, if I continue to eat it over the next few days, I stop getting these. This doesn't work with eating too many walnuts tho. Once I've eaten too many walnuts, the sores won't stop until I quit eating them. And these are the exact same type of sores.
I stopped taking virastop and candidase last year because they made my throat / thyroid hurt and it felt like my throat was closing up. I'm using virastop again without any problems.
What's confusing me is that I get the same reactions to gluten, dairy, soy, hfcs, bacon and tomatoes everytime. I've been experimenting, not always willingly, with this for 7 years now. So I know that those are out. I get antibodies to gluten but not dairy or soy. I'm just allergic to those but interestingly I don't test allergic to either. Bacon and tomatoes cause my fm pain to return.
Ok, so why do I have reliable negative reactions to somethings but not others. I can even eat some high
oxalate foods without reacting. Kow.
Does it all boil down to which bacteria we have ? I saw an article linking bacteria to gluten digestion recently.
I'll get that link.
It's been established that o. forminges is absent in those who produce kidney stones. But we're seeing
that Vsl #3 is breaking down oxalates too.
Based on what I've
been reading getting back our
healthy bacteria is looking more difficult than taking probiotics tho. Even the feacal transplants aren't always working.
Maybe I'm ok with virastop now because I started taking s boulardi. It turns out that we need certain
yeasts to help balance our gut flora. S boulardi comes from the skin of a a fruit (lychee, I think). So what other favorable yeasts can we get from eating raw organic foods ? Not that these are totally safe either. I just
found out that farmers can use "natural" pest killers like spinosab on organic foods. Yikes .. Spinosab
is the main ingredient in Cormfortis the flea killer.
Or is it enzymes ? This may explain why I can eat pineapple. It contains bromelain. I'll have to look
but I suspect it helps us digest pineapple.
I've never found an enzyme that would allow me to eat gluten but I get antibodies to it.
Although taking dpp-iv when I eat out seems to help. There are precautions about using these supplements
tho since we don't know exactly what is being produced when these substances are broken down.
Sorry this is do long. It didn't start out that way. Just wondering what you all think .. Thanks. X
