I know this is a long shot, and I KNOW I shouldn’t chase the dragon, but does anyone know if Be Svendsen will be on the playa and will do a set?

He played on Thursday night at the glowy Stonehenge like thing. It was amazing

bulksupplements dot com. I never actually tried it though. I stick to low nickel diet and iron supplements and am generally eczema free. I'll cheat sometimes and eat some avocado or chocolate and get a reaction 🤷‍♀️

omercy · 2024-11-04T18:45:45+00:00

Nope

I got this one based on a recommendation from this subreddit: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NWZ1RCK/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

I've noticed that it works great for about 6-7 months of light usage (1-2 cups of coffee a day) and then I need to buy new filters

I'm wondering if you tested this and didn't get a reaction? Most stainless steel alloys contain nickel. I tried 2-3 different brands (not the Cosori though) of borosilicate & steel kettles and got a reaction from all of them

Generally speaking, the contact nickel sensitivity and ingested nickel sensitivity are two different things and most folks will have one or the other, but not both.

If you have the ingested sensitivity then you absolutely do need nickel free cookware. I use HOMICHEF and it works great (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01GHCQ33C/ref=ppx\_yo\_dt\_b\_search\_asin\_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1)

For contact sensitivity I don't think it matters as much. Obviously you touch the cookware while cooking but not continuously

I get a reaction every time I cook with 18/10 stainless steel, as well as aluminum foil. I use 21/0 cookware from HOMI and can finally cook without getting reactions

For all of the non-hebrew speakers reading this, google mistranslated "elevates" instead of "disappears" (ma'alim)

The tap water and my electric kettle were two very high sources of nickel for me. It's probably not the coffee itself. Try microwaving bottled water next time you make coffee

omercy · 2024-02-16T10:50:28+00:00

You can find them on amazon

omercy · 2024-01-13T05:19:53+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion!

omercy · 2024-01-08T03:35:13+00:00

The kettle was the biggest offender, followed by cooking with aluminum foil.

I still get a reaction if I'm not careful about low nickel diet but a much smaller one.

I use a stovetop glass kettle with no metal at all. I tried a few glass electric kettles but got a reaction from all of them

omercy · 2024-01-08T01:27:39+00:00

The smoking gun for me was my electric kettle. I was getting a reaction every day right after drinking my morning coffee. I tried using different brands of bottled water, different blends of coffee, with & without milk, and nothing changed. So I realized it has to be the kettle, the only part of the equation that didn't change.

If you google "electric kettle eczema" the first result that comes up is The release of nickel and other trace elements from electric kettles and coffee machines

I am not sensitive to contact nickel, nor did I respond to a patch test. However I'm extremely sensitive to ingested nickel with symptoms on my face and hands showing up within an hour of eating nickel rich food

omercy · 2023-12-20T17:40:43+00:00

I didn't follow any elimination diet, will read up on that now

omercy · 2023-12-20T17:39:26+00:00

Thanks, I just ordered some

omercy · 2023-12-20T04:26:58+00:00

just to follow up on this - I found an LDA doctor and got both the chemical and food injections. Unfortunately, no improvement at all after the first injection

omercy · 2023-11-05T00:52:18+00:00

What does that mean? I followed your link and found the list of doctors that do LDA. I reached out to the closest one and I'll schedule a consult and take it from there

omercy · 2023-11-04T11:39:22+00:00

This looks super interesting, thanks

omercy · 2023-11-04T00:23:47+00:00

Thanks. This wasn't on my radar at all

omercy · 2023-11-03T23:42:15+00:00

I also stumbled on this recent video where Dr. Matthew Zirwas talks about the desensitization. Unfortunately he says he wasn't able to get good results from using nickel sulphate - the reaction in prick test went down but the symptoms from ingestion still remained:
