Re: iodine and gluten free=happy me!
Side note- is anyone else having problems with curezone?
I log on, and it asks me if I want to shortcut to the last page visited.
I hit that, and it takes me back to the top page, NOT logged in.
I usually have to repeat this process 2 or 3 times until it actually lets
me stay logged in, and then its only for a few minutes and if Im not constantly
posting, it logs me out again. I never used to get logged out, I dont get whats going on. I havent changed anything in my comps settings.
Anyway sorry for the off topic stuff.
Gluten sensitivity.
Well basically a friend of mine, her family was getting sick
for a long time (her husband has chronic skin problems similar to mine) and she figured out they were all gluten intolerant and she took her whole family off the stuff. She had done a lot of research and she thinks its basically bad for everyone, just worse for some than others. It made sense to me so I started looking into it. Turns out all the problems Ive had in my life (constipation, skin problems, mood problems, hormone problems) all can be triggered by a gluten intolerance.
I little by little I started giving it up. It takes time away from it to really see what its doing to you. I did lots of testing. A week off, then a gluten meal. Two weeks off, a gluten meal. Then longer, and longer in between with various factors and controlled experiments. I was finally convinced 100% a few weeks back when I was doing really good, I was like "screw it" and went and got a whole wheat organic burrito from a local restaurant.
I felt sick with stomach pains all night, and my face was popping up with new itchy painful zits all over my temples the next day.
After then I knew, but then last week I got glutened again. I was eating these oatmeal snack bars every day while at work as I get hungry and cant always take a break. I thought they were safe, but turns out they use contaminated oats. I knew before I even called the company to check. Ive become really familiar with the feeling of being glutened. After eating those bars last week, my gums began bleeding horribly, and were very painful, and I got painful cysts all around my mouth.
I've been careful to be gluten free these past two days, and the cysts around my mouth are almost 100% healed.
I should point out I'm using benzoyl peroxide
Acne medication and exfoliating my skin to help heal things up from the outside too.
And from now on, if I dont KNOW for sure something is safe, it doesnt go in my mouth. Its just not worth it.
Its gonna suck when I travel though! I'm gonna be living on apples and oranges from grocery stores because eating out is basically a no go.
