My immune system is no longer.............

My LLMD is out of town; my primary does not have or want to make an opening for me; emergency just stablized me and said "I had too many issues" and sent me on my way.

Everything I touch, inhale, or eat gives an allergic response.

I went on immediate detox on my own with the help of the Net, but need input from those that have recovered.

I am down to basics: drinking water, and eating vegetables, sticking basically to fish and chicken.

No fruits, juices or anything prepared with flour. Nothing with preservatives or additives.


I am walking around with a mask, wear gloves to safely remove synthetics and plastics, wear cotton everything and have to find shampoo, soap, lotion that is natural.

I feel overwhelmed and don't know where to turn for help. I cannot afford to redo my whole house, but am able to survive right now sitting on leather chairs and sleeping in cotton sheets.

I think I have systemic Candidias; either Celiac or Leaky Gut.

At least I am managing without vomiting, but I have my Epipen handy because I have breathing problems with quick pulse.

Do I check with an immunologist, a gastroenterologist, or what would be my immediate stabelizer?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You want to know an immediate stabilizer, but you said you were stabilized.

I find this confusing.

Disorders associated with H. pylori infection


It's not entirely clear why some people with H. pylori infection remain apparently healthy and some develop digestive system disorders. It's also unclear why some people exhibit milder disorders and others more severe disorders. Factors that may make a difference include varying degrees of virulence in different strains of H. pylori and genetic factors that may make some people more vulnerable to one of the following H. pylori-related disorders:

Stomach and duodenal ulcers are open sores in the lining of your stomach or the first part of the small intestine (duodenum). H. pylori infection causes the majority of these ulcers. The most common sign of an ulcer is a frequent burning pain in your abdomen. The pain occurs most often when your stomach is empty and may last only a few minutes or several hours.


Gastritis is inflammation of your stomach's lining. While signs and symptoms are often similar to those of ulcers, you may have gastritis with no apparent problems at first. H. pylori infection can cause a chronic inflammatory response that over time damages the lining of your stomach and results in the loss of acid-producing glands in your stomach. These changes can increase your risk of developing stomach cancer.


Stomach cancer is a disease in which abnormal cells in your stomach divide without control. H. pylori infection is a strong risk factor for certain types of stomach cancer. Most signs and symptoms occur only after the cancer is fairly well advanced. Additional problems associated with cancer may include a bloated or full feeling after a very small meal, difficulty swallowing, breath odor, excessive gas or a general decline in health.

Gastric mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT) lymphoma is the development of a cancerous tumor from white blood cells (lymphocytes) in the lining of your stomach. H. pylori infection greatly increases your risk of gastric MALT lymphoma, and nearly all people with the disease are infected with this bacterium.
Nonulcer dyspepsia is stomach pain or discomfort not caused by an ulcer or another identifiable disorder that would result in the pain. The relationship between H. pylori infection and nonulcer dyspepsia isn't clear.
