Re: feeling sick for 1/2 hour only

Hi Eileen,

I have increased mast cells in my gut. They release histamine and other

chemicals that can bring on those types of symptoms.When I ate foods I was

allergic to I would have diarrhea, feel really hot, feel faint. Then I would

have a massive diarrhea. My blood pressure would drop and I would almost faint.

Now I carry anti-histamines and stay away from those foods.

Has your doctor tested for increased mast cells?

Take care,

June

YUP!!! This (and worse - shaking/seizure like) have been happening on and

off with me for the past 3 years. The only time it went away was when I

went on Xifanax antibiotic to kill off the SIBO. For me it is about 20

prior to flatulence, belching, BM (worse with diarrhea and even worse with

the runs), just a little faint to nothing with normal BM and comes on out of

no-where! It has been VERY difficult to be out with two little boys never

knowing if or when this might come over me...it is what started me on this

diet and has me going back to the doc today for another script for Xifanax.

I think it is the lactic acid impacting the brain...any other thoughts on

cause? My natural health provider thinks I am having anxiety attacks prior

to BM because of the stress having a BM puts on my weakened endocrine system

- I've been dX with adrenal fatigue. Whatever it is - I am committed to

getting rid of it!!!

What are mast cells and how do you get tested for them?

I had a colonoscopy. I had to ask my GI doctor to tell the pathologist to test

for them. They have to use a special stain. They could probably tell from an

endoscopy as well.It is not usually done since it is a rare disorder.

I have this to some degree every time I eat -- well, no D. [grin] as I deal with

C. I also experience the symptoms (nausea, body temperature rise, weak) about

10 minutes before a bowel movement, and for about 15 minutes afterwards. Some

days the symptoms are more severe, other times barely noticeable.

From what my gastroenterologist has told me, and from my own research, this is

sort of " normal " if you are dealing with a dysfunctional digestive system and/or

are dealing with various types of metabolic and neurological issues. When

peristalsis kicks in, there can be a wave effect throughout nearly all of our

body systems. Eating always triggers peristalsis. And if the food you ate

happened to be high-fat, then you can also trigger something similar to " dumping

syndrome " .

Remember that gut/brain/blood connection???

It is worrying, especially at first. I'd check with your doctor about it, make

sure there isn't anything else developing. Then you can start tracking the

foods you are eating at meals that might trigger the more severe reaction.

My experience has been that foods aren't usually the culprit, it is something

else going on with my nervous systems or metabolism. But then I know I have

issues with both of these, in addition to my digestion.
