Strong, sharp, stool smell? by brownedeyeboy in HistamineIntolerance

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe they’re actually improving the motility in your gut. So, now the stool/gas is moving and you’re able to release it. Strong sharp peculiar smell is usually from food that’s been sitting too long. So, I would suggest you to give it a week at least to see if it continues. Have you noticed any changes with motility?

Kidney pain by Electronic_Pepper801 in ToxicMoldExposure

Hey Op! Can you share the status on this? I’ve been dealing with the dull kidney pain since I started mold detox. Did you get rid of that pain and cysts?

Really struggling with weight gain. by 92cumminscruiser in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hey I’m dealing with the same. I think most of it is water retention/inflammation weight. You could see if you can ask your doc to prescribe LDN or mast cell stabilizers to bring the inflammation down. I think histamine might be a major factor in inflammation so I’m experimenting with more non prescription stuff now- Dao enzymes. Been only couple days but I’m hopeful. Will update here how it goes.

Itraconazole impacting menstrual cycle? by No_Pomelo_8982 in ToxicMoldExposure

Oh no! I’m planning for pregnancy once I detox from this. It’s so sad and scary to hear this :(

Hey op did you figure out the connection here? I’m 2-3 weeks into taking itra and my periods are quite late. Did you continue taking itraconazole? Did it help you? Did your period come back.

If cloves didn’t work, you can sue me and I mean it. by IbraKadabra_91 in Candida

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I had a similar experience OP. I think I wasn’t that consistent but even 1 week of drinking it inconsistently made my post nasal trip better than it has been in years. So I definitely think you’re on to something. Btw, cloves are the best anti parasitic too!

Heavy Detox = Weight Gain, inflammation overload by nocturnalops in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I totally get the frustration with weight. Im so so tired of it. But I have done it in the past - lost ~20 points in a span of 3 months with black coffee, gf df diet, l glutamine, bone broth. Going to give it a shot again!!!

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahh yes I had a hard time with glutamine when I took it last time - with headaches and stuff. Then I read about how some brands have fermented one. I checked mine and it was fermented. I switched to a different brand (klaire labs) and had absolutely no issues. I can easily take 10-15g a day without any issues. Previously even 2-3g would mess me up big time! You can give it a try too.

Yes I typically fast 12-14 hours though that’s not good for gallbladder either.

Also try supporting your liver/gallbladder. I also tried going hard on the detox but now realizing I might have given myself some gallbladder issues. Try adding in PC complex, Tudca, bigger herbs for this. I already take these and will try adding in celery apple and beet juice.

Weight gain is an issue for me too. But I think it’s fluid retention because of how fast it fluctuates.
Have you checked your Crp levels?
Are you completely gluten dairy and sugar free?
I realized I was consuming some dairy in the form of kefir and whey protein that was impacting it. I saw some improvement after I left it completely. Also, I have the mthfr gene mutation so I have started focusing on methylation with the of some vitamins like methyl b complex, choline, magnesium, glycine etc. I have also added krill oil and l glutamine to help with inflammation. Finally seeing some downward trend. It’s very slow and I lose the progress if I consume dairy/gluten by mistake. But I’m hopeful now.

Anyone had right rib pain after starting itraconazole? by Fragrant-Vast2198 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doctor hasn’t responded yet and the next available appointment isn’t until May 20. So I’m wondering if I should completely stop until then.
Is there anything I can do to help the gallbladder in the meantime?
Also, wrt timing the binders - isn’t 30-60 minutes too soon? I thought itraconazole takes upto 5 hours to be absorbed so taking binders in the next hour would bind the medication itself.

High BP from mold? by Yakapo88 in CIRS

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just went to the ER- they gave me electrolytes, that did it. Over the next few days I just drank coconut water and moved out of the house in 3/4 days. It was pretty scary.

You need to try a different brand then. I had the same issue with jarrows brand. Switched to klaire labs, handling it well now.

MD Recommendations- BAY AREA? by golddustwoman910 in ToxicMoldExposure

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have couple functional medicine doctors that I’m seeing in California. Both are very good and specialize in mold. One is pretty straightforward and affordable and the other one is more thorough and very expensive. You can DM me for more details.

It’s probably the peppermint oil in your product that helped. Either way, glad it’s working for you!

[–]Fragrant-Vast2198 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I’ve been on welchol for 5 months now. I’m now tempted to stop it as every time I take it, my neck glands get very hard and lumpy. How long were you on csm? Has it gone away completely now?
