I’m B12, Vitamin D, Potassium and Magnesium deficient (and most likely Iron). My PC is kinda “condition shaming” me. I’m telling him, to be engaged enough to help me figure what’s going on with these conditions, because the MCAS clinic rejected me for a tryptase level of 15. It falls back on him.   My PCP is saying “we have to tackle, what we know. And we Know you need Potassium, Magnesium, B12 and Vitamin D.

That makes sense to me, but when I have extreme sensitivities to them, the question is how without just suffering through taking them like I am now?

…I’m taking Potassium Gluconate powder three times a week, the histamine builds, I’m in a horrific flare, I stop the Potassium Gluconate for 4 days or so, until the histamine inflammation goes own…

…I’m taking Magnesium Malate powder three times a week, on the alternate days of taking the Potassium, the histamine inflammation, cog fog and muscle and joint pain builds, I’m in a horrific flare, I stop the Magnesium Malate for 7 to  10 days or so, until the histamine inflammation goes own…

…Oh and Hell No, on Methylated B12!  I could only find Hydroxy B12 and it was 5000mg, so I thought, “just take a scant to try”…DUMB! The “scant” ended up being the upper of 250mg and took at least three to four days before I wasn’t an anxious, panicked, quivering mass of flesh, calling on God, prayer lines and whoever I could think of.

(It seems my 3am Adrenalin and Cortisol wake-ups were also worse for some reason?)

I know vitamins and minerals have co-factors. (partners) that either assist in issuing through the body  or helping increasing and making them more bioavailable or creating or causing a depletion.

The doctors don’t understand and basically say in so many words, “you don’t want to get well, you just want to wallow and complain . “   What I’m trying to avoid is the further “Wack-a-mole” situation for me.

My next step is taking my DNA tests….if I ever get it back… in hopes he or she is knowledgeable about this and will listen.

I have to at least try to build my deficiencies. I’m having blood labs drawn in a week or so. And I definitely can’t stack supps.

 Does anyone have knowledge and experience in trying to slowly build their deficiencies? 

Has anyone found that alternating co-factors had benefit in adding co-factors and are still alive to tell about it?

^(Romans 12:3) For through the grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think more highly of himself than he ought to think; but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 

I'm struggling for eight or so years with one of the most baffling health conditions, BPPV vertigo, food and chemical sensitivities that bring on anxiety and panic. It's horrific.

I know, that I know, that I know God left us the power and authority to bring down strongholds by Jesus shed blood and sacrifice on the cross. (Thank you lord).

But it seems for me God is silent. The doctors are also baffled, apathetic or ignorant.

In my bible study today, In Romans 12:3 " but to think so as to have sound judgment, as God has allotted to each a measure of faith. 

If God assigns a measure of faith. Does God also assign our authority and grace and test us based on how and if we build our faith?

Or is the faith in power to heal ourselves a gift that God gives discriminately like our portion of faith?

Please only respond with bible-based opinions and facts

Thanks.

SLOW COMT

With these conditions my diet is a constant challenge. The nutritionist/dietician assigned is no help and ignorant to these conditions  and I need information on how to increase at least somewhat safe foods in my diet of:

Dairy: Butter, Cottage Cheese, Grass Fed Whole Milk with no synthetic Vitamin D added (extremely difficult to find), Hagen Daz Ice Vanilla Cream, Heavy Cream, and a very limited amount of Mozzarella and Ricotta

Fruits: Fresh Apples, (but they have to be cooked, )Fresh Blueberries, Very Occasionally Green Grapes, Fresh Frozen Peaches 

Grains: (Extremely Difficult) White Rice, (I love it but get delayed shakiness the following day) Gluten Free Pasta (Rice / Corn Blend on a limited basis, I can also eat Corn Bread and Polenta if Bob’s Red Mill. Oatmeal occasionally if soaked in water over night and a Sorghum Flour Mug Muffin (High Salicylate) when flares are somewhat calm, (maybe once a year)

Protein Foods (Boiled Egg Yolks, Chicken Breast Tenders, Grass Fed Beef, (once a month, who can afford it anyway), Black Beans, (once a month, or so)

Vegetables: Aparagus**,** very sparingly at Breakfast, Broccoli, very sparingly at Breakfast, Cabbage, Carrots very sparingly at Breakfast, Celery Hearts, Lettuce and Sweet  Potato and White Potato, (I love it but get delayed shakiness the following day,  Zucchini daily  (very tired of it, but I don’t react to it). I also try a Trio of Collard, mustard and Turnip Greens very occasionally.

Seasonings: Formerly, Himalayan Pink Salt (until I found it is high in lead and mercury). Parsley

Drinks: Chamomile and Ginger tea occasional Pear and Grape Juice in water and Water.

This list looks good, but with every uncontrollable hit of stress the gains in my  diet are diminished and I’m back to Cottage Cheese and Blueberries twice daily, Boiled Egg and Zucchini  and Chicken Breast, Lettuce and Celery for lunch AND dinner.  Because my system thinks it’s “stacking”

Honestly, I am hungry ALL THE TIME  and I have had some hellish reactions to foods that were on my safe foods list.  I tell myself,  “ I have to eat to survive”  “It didn’t kill me the last time” Getting through It was very hard, but I came through it” (after calling family to help me in the wee hours, because “doom and gloom” set in and I just Knew I needed to call 911 because y nose was sooo congested, my heart was pounding and I shake like I’m in a magnitude 10 earth quake.

  Is powering through with food for nutrients even an option?

Provide your  Experiences on if you have had success powering through.

Thanks

Vitamin C and Magnesium and Taurine helped in the past, now developed extreme sensitivities to both with rebound and bad delayed reactions.

I realize stress is a major factor, but these hits are beyond my control and trying Vagus Nerve exercises is just slightly helpful but not consistent.

Developing these extreme supplement sensitivities and the 3a.m Adrenalin Cortisol Surges, and Histamine Dumps is confusing and baffling.

I am waiting on an Ancestry DNA test kit. In desperation, I ordered Mimosa Flower Bud Tea and Hawaii Farms Extract to try as a sublingual.

Anyone had success powering through with supplements that they were sensitive to and been successful or made symptoms worse.?

Thanks.

There are many biological things that damage African American Hair. But for me, Histamine, Hormones and Mast Cell Activation Stress have ravaged my hair.

One of the most baffling is systemic inflammation.

Systemic inflammation triggers problems in African American women by activating the immune system to mistakenly attack hair follicles. This process damages the follicle's microenvironment, prematurely pushes hair and scalp into a damaged phase, and can cause irreversible scarring that permanently destroys the hair root.

Dermatologists say steroids....temporary and damaging to the body.

Has anyone found a natural supplement, herb or root like turmeric and found success?

Thanks

Has anyone Developed a Sensitivity to All Forms of Magnesium, stopped taking all forms of Magnesium for a long while. Then trying to take a specific form very low and slow in microdoses and finding it beneficial with little to no reactions?
