Re: Food allergies? Found My Answer

[Guest guest]

Sugar, wheat, MSG, aspartame, any vitamins, +++++

All made my heart race, face flush, diarrhea, nausea, and caused a

horrible headache for at least 6 months in 2007.

I had never had allergies before.

I saw every kind of doctor and had every kind of test. I could only

eat three things. This is what I found out: I have had Chiari my

whole life. The increased CSF in my head has compromised the

function of normal drainage and I have suffered from many sinus and

ear infections.

I had a sinus surgery where they had difficulty intubating me, and

they didn't know I had Chiari and my neck structure is a little

abnormal. They pushed my odontoid into my CM and caused brainstem

swelling and pressure.

Wheat, sugar, and those other things are inflammatants, they cause

inflammation - maybe only a little but I didn't have any room to give

and so the inflammation compressed my brainstem.

Brainstem compression symptoms can be flushed face, racing heart,

headache, diarrhea...

Now that things have calmed down, I can eat anything. I was tested

for Celiac, pheochromocytoma, thyroid carcinoma, allergies, Lyme

disease, immune dysfunction, catecholamines....

Maybe this will help someone but everyone is different.
