Inga,

I keep coming back to MSG or some other commonly missed additive. Lots of the

kids experience symptoms that *look* like what you describe from the inside out,

including the speech problem. Is there a way you can do one of those food

allergy kits like BIOTEK? I think they can test 100-200 foods for allergy.

I have no idea if they require a healthcare provider where you are but

sometihing like that might be worth a try.

I forgot if you said whether or not you have an Epi-pen?

Please be careful!!!

Inga-

The short answer is I don't know.

MDs would never say they don't know but would say it's in your head.

I'll bet it's something real and something really interesting.

Sounds like you are keeping a log or journal? That will probably help.

Are you still using the Houston Enzymes? I wonder if that helps you?

My DH has an Epi-kit and needed a Rx. I don't know how you might get one

without.Do you keep antihistamine handy? I mean really handy? We do. I get

vertigo so wherever I am I have chewable dramamine (original formula) nearby.

Once about 30 years ago my throat closed at work, and I got a shot to the larynx

at the ER. Before brain fog I used to remember what caused it but can't recall

tonight.

The flapping sounds like what happens with some autistics. There is a theory

that flapping is an attempt to liberate some of the B6 in the muscles. I don't

remember, off-hand, maybe someone else who knows more might know if/how that

could be adrenal related.

Yeah, from what very little I know, I think that chances are very good that your

adrenals are involved.

I understand about your mom and the epinephrine. I'm the same way. But If I had

your reaction and had an emergency, I wouldn't have any problem chewing into the

worst tasting Benedryl!

I love puzzles. From reading lots of lists, looks like other people do to. I bet

it won't be long before someone helps you figure this out.

>>>Interesting. Only thing is, I had the same thing happen from a natural

yogurt, when others do not bother me, from taking a capsule of NAC, from

taking a capsule of selenomethionine, from pop corn last year, (but not this

year)

>>>from eating salmon last year, but not the year before(mercury). Cauliflower

once (mercury mobilization)

>>>Taking DMSA pretty much stopped my nightly attacks, and then eventually

most

of the remaining attacks. But I still had a few doozies that felt like they

almost killed me. I was told I was UNIVERSAL REACTOR. The doctor said I was

allergic to all meats, all foods, plants and trees....

>>>THE TIMES MY ARMS FLAP, I AM FEELING LIKE I AM NOT GETTING ANY AIUR< AND

MYHEART USUALLY BEATS REAL FAST. THIS CAN HAPPEN AT ANY TIME I EXERT MYSELF.

>>>The one time I went to emergency, they pretty much just patted me on the

head

and said that it was not possible to have gotten my reaction from eating a

bunch of chocolate cookies...argh! They did NOTHING other than send me a

bill and tell me to come back if it happens again, argh!
