Adrenals and allergies

[Guest guest]

Food allergies, intolerances? I wonder how this fits in with silicone antibodies? This is interesting, posted on another group. HC (hydrocortisone) and Allergies Thu May 3, 2007 3:48 am (PST) >I'm happy to see this topic as I was about to open it up. Yes, I have had a lot of success with HC use and allergy disappearance. My food allergies backed off with the cutting out of gluten and the addition of 6-7 grms. of vit c. The other thing that made a lot of impact was a "gut drink" I concoct and drink every morning. Adding HCL to my digestive enzymes had been imperative as well. I take Betaine HCL with every meal and snack- every time!For the air born allergies the buffered vit c in my water all day does wonders but not totally fool proof. When I found my sweet spot of 32.5 mg HC I had no allergies and near flawless digestion.

Then I cut to 30 mg after 2 months of plateau. From here I went to 27.5 and allergies remained in remission- nearly. But recently I backed to 25 mg and allergies had surfaced again, mainly environment stuff. Granted I have been a bit hit and miss with the high doses of vit c and need to jump back on this before i increase back to 27.5 mg HC.So for me the whole package has been impt. in beating back allergies, yet the higher HC did a lot more for me than lower- at this point.If you are interested in the gut drink I'll post the ingredients. If you are having issues with digestion, as I was for years, you will need a total approach. Leaky Gut is very real and happens with the incomplete digestion of food and this causes allergies.Higher HC makes me hungry, very awake. Too much makes my muscles turn to flab and a little retentive with water.AG> Wed May 2, 2007 5:46 pm (PST)>
