I've been monitoring what I eat in my diary on a daily basis for almost a week per my new naturopath's request.
We are doing Advanced Allergy Therapeutics because I am reactive to food that I am not technically supposed to be reactive to as well as other things like chemicals, smells, toxic things, etc. My mast cells must be overractive as well as my histamine levels.
Because I am challenged in detoxing (the worst kind MTHFR, CBS, along with other gene mutations), I also react to introduction of new supplements. And nothing really gets in, but we'll be working on that as well.
My stools are loose even though I eat well and have been for half a year. But at least they went from diarrhea to somewhat formed-ish stools.
Something interesting I noticed whilst writing what I eat everyday and what reactions I get.
Today I made pork cutlets and they have chia and flax seeds in them. After eating then, after an hour or so, I got headache, abdominal pain, and burning skin. And of course a feeling of being overwhelmed and heat.
Apart from that, I got a little tingly/itchy as well. And it was pretty bad. I tried to keep calm and just watch a favorite movie of mine and drink water.
Everything else I eat, I only get a little tingly and itchy usually, but not as intense as after eating the cutlets.
I went back a week, and I ate cutlets that time too, with the same amount of chia and flax seeds. That time too, I experienced the same symptoms.
Wondering if this is a die off from Candida! Also, my tongue has a white coating, but not throughout the whole tongue, more like in patches.
Also wondering if Candida can make you have the following symptoms (which can be Lyme as well as from co-infections and MCAD):

Blood and stool tests will show candida if you have it. I think the lab is called Genova Diagnostics.
Yes, there is some overlap of candida and Lyme symptoms - you can google for a list of candida symptoms.
I got over my reactivity to smells by detoxing on a FIR biomat - same deal as detoxing in any FIR sauna. It took 6 months of sweating once a week, and suddenly I was able to handle smells around me.
My doc said keep going and one day, it'll work and he was right. He explained that I finally dropped below a threshold of toxic load in my body.
If you can handle heat and sweating, this is one way to get through the sensitivity to smells. I felt and still feel so much freer in the world now.
Also, need to ask you a favor here - there are a lot of people here who cannot read blocks of text, so for them, if you could please break up your text into a couple lines at a time so they can read - thanks -
