Hi @raj808:
I have followed your saga with great interest and empathy. As my family has dealt with some strange autoimmune (some quite rare) syndromes, I do a lot of reading.
Please read my latest blog. This blog is the result of much of mainstream research (that is, peer-reviewed journals). One thing you want to do as you take supplements and whatever else it is that you ingest is make sure there are no emulsifiers, thickeners, or any other indigestible additives (such as cellulose) that are commonly used as mediums. Leaky gut, proliferation of damaging microbes (esp R.gnavus), and penetration of the intestinal wall are associated with these additives. Also, a host of autoimmune diseases, including IBD.
My blog could have been a lot longer. If you refer to some of the sources (perhaps you have already in your own research), you may find more information. I had to cut the blog short because people get bored.
I wish you health and peace in the New Year.
Regards,
AG
Hi @agmoore
Thanks you as always for your thoughtful response. And happy new year.
I took a read of your blog and found it interesting. I think it is important to limit the amount of cellulose I'm taking in supplements for sure. Although one or two of them contain cellulose, most of them don't. I'm considering removing the two that do as they are both vitamins and I should be able to get them from food with some careful modification of diet :)
sry this response is late... I got drunk with my friends on new years eve and have been in bed ever since 😂 That is another thing I'm gonna impliment this year, zero alcohol.
Best wishes for the new year.
Take care
Rowan
Hello Rowan,
I figured you celebrated for New Years. I do worry (forgive me) about how the binge drinking you sometimes describe in your blogs may affect your precarious health. But I have two kids (probably older than you) and recognize adults make their own decisions in their own good time :))
Happy New Year. No matter the circumstances we have to be determined to have a happy year.
Your virtual friend,
AG
