I have a condition known as Multiple Chemical Sensitvities which struck me six

years ago

and six months before I started SCD. I met Elaine at a Potluck Luncheon for SCD

followers

in Toronto. As we chatted and I started to describe my " allergies " she bristled

and said

looking for many allergies was a " needle in the haystack " thing. I later

realized the immune

sytem, always on guard to protect us often perceives danger where none exists.

In time I

was able to separate sensitivities from true allergies. She was really a bear on

this but held

fast to avoiding any food that would give you toxic shock, avoiding that food

forever.

Hope this helps.

Dear Carol, and anybody else with experience,

What you wrote below make since. Before being diagnosed with Celiac Disease I

now have over 14 sensitivities, allergies to antibiotics, narcotics and a

various list of other medications. Some have caused anaphylaxis...the other

ones just give me miserable GI symptoms and hives. I have to be careful with

sulfites, and now believe that phenols has been a problem (after reading up on

it...it makes too much since and fits the problems our family is having).

During this time on SCDiet have any of your problems from the Multiple Chemical

Sensitivity disappeared or became more manageable. Does the leaky gut heal...or

is it genetic that some of us just have permeable guts (due to genetic

predisposition)?

Thank you!
