Best shakes for allergies?

Sounds like you'd be better off avoiding them and just eating what real food you can, within your calorie limits.

I've been in your corner, with reactions to chemicals too, none of this happened when I was a child but from my 20's it grew slowly. I recommend that you have proper tests to see where your issues actually lie. There are intolerances which, from my understanding, come from some oversized particles of food passing through the lining of the gut and causing problems from there. You should be in a better place if you are in the US, there are medics who look to what is causing the symptoms rather than say do this to work round the symptom if you follow, there are several on line who possibly could help but it comes down to money.

I am in the UK and the allergy testing which is permitted failed me twice, telling me I'm ok with milk and I am not, I react to the casein, the protein, its more common than the lactose everyone goes on about. I also react to paraben which crops up in so very much from cleaning products to foods, unreal.

It is possible, if your situation is progressive, it could be driven by an endocrine imbalance, not as bad as it sounds. I'll try to break this down process by process. There can be an issue in the feed back loups, usually between the adrenals, pituitary and thyroid. Here in the UK this loop is not usually investigated. The medical profession is told there is no need to by NICE, who tell us where NHS money is best spend! Some who have issues in this feed back loop could improve their condition by using "good" vitamin and mineral supplements, primarily selenium, vit d, vit b, and omegs 3, a miss balance 3-6 is not good. All this is very complex, on a person by person situation and it takes a true specialist to point you in the right, for you direction. For example, a professor in immunology at regional level, told me one thing about salicylate that was rebuked by the local endocrinologist. I believed the professor.

From current information, the thyroid gland is the first gland which becomes worn down by an imbalance, thyroid hormones are required inputs for each and every cell. It seems all Hypothyroid persons are lumped together under one heading, medics treat with t4 as long as your test numbers fit the proforma listing, but Hashimotos presents with normal range numbers and is identified by antibodies which are hardly ever tested, so you have to live or barely exist with it. Someone like me adds to the list of foods they can not eat and the places they can not go, I even had problems in my own garden and could not hang the washing out, for fear of what it would smell of when it came in, I'd use special unscented products. The paramount problem here is the number of food particles which pass through the gut being mis-identified by the immune system as alien but by molecule mimicry cause an attack on our own cells be they thyroid or other even the cilla in the ears leading to tinnitus has happened. My situation was contributed to by early antibiotic use before the medical profession knew we need to supplement with digestive microbes so as not to sustain damage.

Hypo and yeast also known as thrush in the UK connection. They hypo body runs at a lower temperature than the healthy body this low temperature is beneficial to the yeast microbes most of which love the sugar in our modern diet reducing the hold of these yeasts which can, its been proven, demand more sugar is to reduce the sugar in the diet, look into "the candida diet", there are others on line. Increasing beneficial digestive microbes by supplements using soluble fibres, oats flax and the like to feed it all helps. Being hypo slows the digestive tract which facilitates the retention of yeasts too. There is more which can be done.

Looking at your issue with corn, from my experience this could be from the salicylate in it or possibly from its histamine both being intolerances some call them sensitivities, at the edge of science to quote my professor, there are sites which help with these. One site on histamine is by an accredited US reporter. Not all probiotics are histamine intolerant friendly.

"The Hypothyroid Mom", has a well established site in which she gives a list of 300 possible symptoms, every person has their own group which is probably different to another in there social group unless the two are related. The 300 symptoms will break down into umbrella categories, respiratory including oxygen into the blood, reproductive, every cell and personal reproduction from the menstrual cycle of the woman to the production of embryo's. Mental health, because t3 the active form of thyroid hormone, which needs the selenium etc to convert from t4, is needed by the brain in order to perform all its functions and if the brain is sluggish you feel ill. I have also said above but to emphasise the point, the digestive tract is slowed contributing to diabetes and other issues not forgetting the metabolism slows, reducing the ability to enjoy exercise, in some situations exercise can be detrimental particularly if one drives oneself trying to boot the system. All this can impact on the liver, king in the body for the elimination of everything from toxic elements, be they from the products of life making all our enzymes and things or from the food chain, when it starts to struggle one can see dark rings round the eyes often "things" chemicals can be deposited in cells so they are not clogging up elsewhere all this is probably not enough to show in tests for liver function, that happened to me.

Please consider t3 testing is not permitted very often in the UK, mine was but only after regional intervention but at 4 t was low, deemed to be ok but I was supplementing like mad to feel slightly better and this was not taken into account. As of now there are no tests to see if t3 is getting into the cells where it should fit like a three pin plug. Ones production of t3 can be subverted when the t3 is blocked into reverse so it will never fit the cell, all this matters.

This whole situation is/can be complex which is why one needs a functional practitioner. Recent research is showing, many can be predisposed to thyroid related problems, remember the adrenal and pituitary inputs for starters, if they experience some trauma in utero or in the early months after birth, this a an ever increasing number of person. Not forgetting there are more who never get a diagnosis and struggle than those who are treated either successfully or not which is most common.

I've had issues, probably all my life easily by 13. I'm 67 now, I am grateful that I have found a nutritionist to work with and digestive enzymes which enable me to eat what I want. I will keep away from the mass produced foods preferring to keep to the organic foods which have fewer chemicals used in their growth.

If anyone had bothered to read through all this and messages me I will do what I can to share more information.
