Return of allergies after resolving hypo

@pittybitty said in Return of allergies after resolving hypo:
Lately I stopped being hypo and my body temp normalized after half a year of watching stress levels, fixing my diet and various supplements. That's the good news.
For some reason however, during that Hypo period I didn't have any allergies, but now that the hypo is gone suddenly my allergies are back. It's not all the time, but frequent enough to cause sleep deprivation. It's some general allergy without specific triggers, aka what people call dust mite allergy.
What I don't understand is that my diet should already be low endotoxin, thus low estrogen, thus low histamine. But that doesn't seem to be what's happening and I am at a loss of what to do to further improve it.
Diet: 1.5% Milk, Orange Juice, 2-4 egg yolks/day, +some Soda, some Meat (low fat), some Coconut oil, some Sweets, some Fruits
Supplements: Aspirin, Taurine, Betaine HCl, Thiamine TTFD, Niacinamide, Vitamin K1+K2, Vitamin A+DI would try dropping the supps except for the aspirin k and d and see if things improve. If so then I could gradually add them back in one by one to see which ones are problematic.
I would make sure the d is d3, and as for the Betaine wouldn’t take it at all. I remember reading it has a net negative effect.
I’d also try to get my taurine and thiamine via seafood, my b3 from orange juice and my A from eggs/liver rather than pills/capsules/powders as much as possible -
@16characterstwas You are probably right. Yesterday I had a bit of a scratchy feeling in my throat after taking the sups that persisted until the night.

100mg
Need B2 too if long term use. 2x/wk is enough.

I am suspecting H. pylori. Last few days I had mental anguish consistent with increased serotonin from H. pylori as well as some bloating. Betaine HCl would have get rid of the other bacteria in stomach but not the H. pylori since it is more acid resistant.

Found something amazing:
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC2694061/
They infected mice with h. pylori and tested how tea consumption was affecting it.
"green tea" is control group that was not infected and whose water supply was replaced by tea.
"green tea Helicobacter green tea" means they got green tea before and after infection
"Helicobacter green tea" means they had water before infection and tea afterwards "Helicobacter" is just infected without teaSo drinking tea after infection greatly reduces H. pylori inflammation and bacteria population. While drinking tea before infection completely prevents it.
I actually only read the research paper after I already found out that my symptoms greatly improved after drinking tea with L-Theanine powder mixing in, but this is good confirmation that it is not just symptom managment but an actual cure.

@pittybitty glad that’s helping

I tried both L-Theanine and brocolli sprouts, they helped but at the same time also didn't really. The problem is no longer allergic reactions, stools are also very solid now.
But my leg muscles started twitching at night and I get really irritated. It usually lasts 1-2 hours until the next bowel movement. Restless leg syndrome I think? Georgi mentioned in a podcast that it is usually caused by bacteria.
I am now trying L. Reuteri to hopefully get the bacteria population under control.

My seasonal allergies have been the worst they've ever been this year, despite my health probably being the best it's ever been, even with daily antihistamine. A few weeks ago, taking Vitamin E for something else has completely eliminated my allergies. I now take usual daily antihistamine and vitamin E when I feel allergies slowly creeping back in, every 5-10 days or so.
-
@rpc In what Form are you taking the Vit E?
-
@pittybitty Mixed tocopherols, the cleanest supplement you can find, 400 IU as needed, is what I'm doing.
