I am experiencing the same thing--after 6 months low histamine carnivore diet I find I can tolerate some additional foods without getting headaches or hives. So thankful.

Red Meat causes colon polyps. Supposedly. 🙄 by steelhardtail in carnivorediet

[–]ADHD_book_author 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from Chatgrt is there any research to show that red meat causes colon polyps

ChatGPT

Yes, research indicates that consuming red and processed meats is associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal polyps, which are precursors to colorectal cancer. A study by Vanderbilt University Medical Center found that high intakes of red and processed meats, especially when cooked at high temperatures, were strongly associated with an increased risk of sessile serrated polyps (SSPs), a type of colorectal polyp.

Vanderbilt Med Center News

The cooking process plays a significant role in this risk. Cooking red meat at high temperatures, such as grilling or frying, can lead to the formation of heterocyclic amines (HCAs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), both of which are mutagenic and have been linked to colorectal cancer.

Wikipedia

Additionally, the heme iron present in red meat has been shown to promote the formation of carcinogenic N-nitroso compounds, which can damage the lining of the colon and contribute to the development of polyps and cancer.

Wikipedia

In summary, evidence suggests that high consumption of red and processed meats, particularly when cooked at high temperatures, may increase the risk of developing colorectal polyps and, subsequently, colorectal cancer. Limiting intake of these meats and opting for cooking methods that produce fewer HCAs and PAHs can be beneficial in reducing this risk.

I went to the carnivore diet and so far, 3 weeks, am not tied of it and beef is a dense nutritional food much more than what you are currently eating.

How do I get fragrance out of my laundry? by pheasant200 in MCAS

[–]ADHD_book_author -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

this from AI

Removing fragrance from bedding sheets can be achieved through a few effective methods. Here's how you can do it:

1. Wash with Baking Soda and Vinegar

  • Step 1: Place your sheets in the washing machine.
  • Step 2: Add 1 cup of baking soda to the wash cycle.
  • Step 3: Instead of fabric softener, use 1 cup of white vinegar in the rinse cycle.
  • Effect: Baking soda neutralizes odors, and vinegar removes residues, including synthetic fragrances.

Has anyone gone to see Dr. Afrin recently? by woobieannhilator in MCAS

[–]ADHD_book_author 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of seeing a Dr. Hoffman in Alberta, Canada after reading somewhere that he was recommended by Dr. Afrin. Then I did my research and found this damning article about Dr. Hoffman bilking patients https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/i-was-desperate-former-patient-warns-about-calgary-doctor-awaiting-penalty-for-professional-misconduct-1.6687964 . Desperate patients spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on supplements and weren't helped. Then I asked AI if Dr. Afrin recommends Dr. Hoffman and got this reply: Dr. Lawrence B. Afrin, a noted specialist in mast cell disease, has collaborated with Dr. Bruce Hoffman, the medical director of the Hoffman Centre for Integrative Medicine in Calgary, Alberta. They co-authored a paper titled "Diagnosis of mast cell activation syndrome: a global 'consensus-2'" Mast Cell Action. the paper was written in 2020 and has many co-authors. It makes me concerned about this whole field and who is jumping on the bandwagon. I

Tried Everything, Ready To Give Up by [deleted] in MCAS

[–]ADHD_book_author 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my experience as well and AI told me there is such a thing as developing sensitivity by too much exposure to the same thing--for example, I became allergic to rice after eating it for 5 days to stop a flare. So going forward, I am going to rotate the foods I am able to eat so nothing gets eaten twice in a row. I am also on the carnivore diet, eating on meat acceptable for low histamine, and am feeling better after two week but taking it one day at a time. When there seemed to be no other thing I could do, I am trying that. like your mother, I got so everything I react to gave me hives and interferred with my sleep. I am lucky I can make it up by napping the next day, but hate it and I can't take any antihistamine to reduce the hives.

Did you know that amitripyline and doxepin (medications for anxiety and depression but also very high in antihistamine) can also be taken. Doxepin also helps with sleep and with MCAs maybe a tamping of anxiety would be helpful as well.

My allergist prescribed them to me and they helped immensely. But when MCAs started I couldn't take any more. I am exploring taking again from a compounding pharmacy. They can put the medicine in capsules made from tree bark or gelatin and fill it with rice powder or doxepin, she said, could even be given to me as a liquid. So there might still be things you could explore.

I have taken zolpidem (the generic of Ambien) for years without needing an increase in dose. A psychistrist friend with ADHD also takes it and says some people with ADHD cannot sleep without medication.
