I know for almost a fact the COFFEE habbit triggered it… but I am thinking the dairy is significantly affecting me. I’ve actually totally settled two flares in the past by use of massive doses of cannabis unattainable to most people and unattainable to myself currently but not too far out of reach hopefully. As discussed earlier, this process can trigger an immunologic reaction.The worst part is that once the body mounts a defense against any particular protein that escapes, it becomes trained to react to those proteins every time they appearBased on Dr. Fasano’s research there are two key triggers to open the zonulin pathways: In another research study, Dr. Fasano suggests that gluten/grains According to Dr. Fassano, gluten attaches to the transport molecule, which causes an enormous release of Zonulin. I would recommend trying it out in small amounts and see how you react.
The pain, the suffering in silence, the lack of empathy from family, friends, and loved ones… the feelings of despair and isolation, etc – we all go through it to some extent.I know there are a ton of people out there that are a lot sicker than I am, but I have experienced the pain and frustration that accompanies your body giving up on you in a super embarrassing way – it can be very depressing, debilitating, and isolating.
