My diet has no added sugars for the most part, low on dairy, no soy and a significant amount of raw and lightly cooked veggies. I have begun daily fermented food portions, but it's not yet showing a change. I am prone to inflammation anytime my gut reacts to a food in an unfavorable manner.<br />I began taking split doses of niacin recently, 50 mg twice daily and find that any inflammation in my skeletal system, joints , etc seems to abate. I am trying to research inflammatory response and niacin. When i take the split dosage, i minimize the "flush" response ( so i can leave the house without looking like a lobster) But i still get the relief from body inflammation. It is wonderful, but other than my anecdotal responses, i have not been able to find any strong science for it. Do you have any insight?<br />~LAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-39279159493579908212013-12-31T00:44:28.526-07:002013-12-31T00:44:28.526-07:00I read your blogs regularly.

Normal results 0-10 mine 72.9! I was 5'7 1/2' I weighed over 200lbs. I was put in touch with a woman named Sue Hassette 6 days after my diagnosis, who wrote a book called Living with Celiac disease and was a God send to me. I have been gluten free two years this April. The first symptom that was gone was the horrific migraines! I lost over 50lbs painlessly, got rid of my cane, and the loss of cellulite was a bonus....lol. Though I am no longer swearing as I shop and read labels, I do admit to groping fresh Itallion bread from time to time on my way out of the bakery section.

The loss of your appendix also was the loss of a source of stored gut flora.<br /><br />Your gut flora have never recovered and is still fragile, hence your dietary intolerances. I think that you can return to a more robust digestive system simply by gradually increasing the diversity of your gut flora by eating diverse foods and by bringing in new bacteria.<br /><br />I am glad that you have made so much progress.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-16057066611405126492011-01-10T14:50:56.150-07:002011-01-10T14:50:56.150-07:00I have been grain free 20 of my 70 years.

I do best on a high fat diet (coconut, animal)with maybe 5 to 10% carbs (no starches), b12 shot once a month, 5000 IU D, vitamins, minerals, fish oil, etc. The high fat mostly animal diet was added in the last 3 years & has moved me to a new level of health. The other things were started 20 years ago.<br /><br />At 15 years old I had a ruptured appendix, which was unattended for 2 days. This was a very near death experience, which changed by immune system. I had several autoimmune issues for the next 35 years. I must be very careful with the food I eat.

In other words, all of your problems are based on diet (and perhaps, as you point out, gluten intolerance).<br /><br />Mild depression, in contrast to severe clinical depression, does not respond to antidepressants and is a symptom of chronic inflammation. The cytokines in the serum are the same in both cases, inflammatory.<br /><br />This article and others that deal with more details about an anti-inflammatory diet that should address all of your health problems. You might also look into low dose Naltrexone, since it also addresses all of your health symptoms.<br /><br />Thanks for your questions.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-11150684411347984332010-12-10T06:40:51.300-07:002010-12-10T06:40:51.300-07:00I have had a high ANA level for at least the past ...I have had a high ANA level for at least the past 10 months ... maybe longer (320:1 and 640:1).

We also both have two copies genes that predispose to either gluten sensitivity or celiac - not surprising for my son as there is at least one of my husband's relatives with diagnosed severe celiac disease). My two copies are for GS, and my son has one of these and one for CD.<br /><br />Additionally, Entrolabs tests can be conducted even if you've been off gluten for a while, even as much as 6-12 months, though of course less tiem is better. I'd had a very low intake of wheat for several years as part of a LC read food diet (a few bites here and there and very few processed foods that contained wheat ingredients), but hadn't really attempted GF until after my positive test results. I doubt I would have tested positive had I been tested through the usual blood tests or biopsy via my doctor. A food allergy panel was done in 2006 (by a doctor that was fishing for reasons to not raise my dose of thyroid hormone) that was entirely negative. <br /><br />Except in NYS, you generally don't need a doctor's order to do Enterolabs tests. However, that might also mean you might not be able to get the tests covered by your insurance company. I felt it was worth the out-of-pocket expense, but YMMV.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17033443643442246531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-88290878285865958992009-09-04T11:49:00.310-06:002009-09-04T11:49:00.310-06:00Lucy,
In my simple perspective, I see all allergie...Lucy,<br />In my simple perspective, I see all allergies as derived from more fundamental sources of inflammation, such as diet. The chronic inflammation causes aberrant presentation of foreign and self proteins as antigens. The result is various allergies and autoimmune diseases. I also suspect that gut biofilms perpetuate the allergies and autoimmunity.<br /><br />The major triggers for converting chronic inflammation into allergies and autoimmunity are Helicobacter infection of the stomach, celiac in the intestines and EBV/mono. I think that all of these are accompanied by intestinal biofilms over time.<br /><br />If you respond to dietary gluten, then eliminating grains and switching to a low carb diet seems the obvious solution. I think that Helicobacter infections and celiac are grossly underdiagnosed. I would be very surprised if all food allergies were not based on pre-existing celiac (or Helicobacter.) Thyroiditis automatically follows celiac. Helicobacter automatically produces food allergies.<br /><br />I have no problems with saturated fats/oils. The problem comes with omega-6 fatty acids in common vegetable oils (except olive oil). Flax/hemp oil is a problem, because it gets modified during processing. Flax seed, freshly ground, is good because it probably also acts as fiber. The flax seed won't help much as an omega-3, because it is short chained and is converted to the desirable long chain fatty acids (DHA, EPA) at low efficiency.<br /><br />I like butter and eggs, and have no problem with them. Once you get your allergies under control, you can probably add them back.<br /><br />Thanks for the comments/questions.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-53774097444290740012009-09-04T02:37:06.977-06:002009-09-04T02:37:06.977-06:00Hi Dr Ayers

It seems that most allergists are dismissive (from what I can read).<br /><br />I have a number of autoimmune diseases (thyroid, diabetes) but I tested negative for celiac antibodies.<br /><br />However IGG testing showed intolerance to gluten, all dairy and eggs.<br /><br />Is there a reason to question the validity of these IGG tests?<br /><br />Also, I've given up butter and eggs as a consequence but now find my dietary oil intake is mainly olive, hemp and coconut.

You are right, that article is brilliant...Cristian,<br />You are right, that article is brilliant. It is embarrassing that I have written articles on the efficacy of lactoferrin in altering gut flora and on the ability of spices to alter quorum sensing in biofilms. I have been interested in the impact of iron in stomach acid production and in anemia associated with celiac, and the use of vinegar and EDTA in the treatment of a wide spectrum of disease. Phytic acid is a potent chelator and is the active component of dietatry fiber. I even studied acidic polysaccharides involved in biofilms and amyloid plaques, but I never put it all together in a very simple synthesis.<br /><br />Biofilms disrupt gut physiology and impact all disease. Attacking biofilms cures. Biofilms can be attacked by destabilizing acidic polysaccharide/divalent cation interactions with acetic acid, chelators or small competing oligosaccharides, such as glucosamine or heparin.<br /><br />Heparin released with histamine by mast cells may be a protection against biofilm formation!<br /><br />This is an amazing synthesis of dozens of independent observations.<br /><br />By the way, I think that the omega-3 paper that you referenced is fishy. It looks like they ignored the omega-6 vegetable oils in the diets. With high omega-6, the fish oil supplements used would not be expected to show effects. They should have tested a dosage effect. If they titrated the existing omega-6s, they would have seen results at higher omega-3 levels and revealed their experimental flaw.<br /><br />Thanks greatly for the article on biofilms.Dr. Art Ayershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01727664149735013259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196334975274806517.post-29003092751567797882009-09-02T05:03:48.864-06:002009-09-02T05:03:48.864-06:00Still uneasy about fish oils ... and this time it&...Still uneasy about fish oils ... and this time it's a double blind, not epidemiology :-) <br /><br />No effect of fish oil supplementation on serum inflammatory markers<br />and their interrelationships: a randomized controlled trial in<br />healthy, middle-aged individuals. <br />PMID: 19623203<br /><br />Conclusion:In conclusion,<br />this 12-week randomized, double-blind placebo-controlled intervention<br />trial did not show that 1.5 g/day n-3 PUFA significantly affected the<br />serum inflammatory response in healthy individuals, nor did patterns<br />of inflammatory markers.
