chronic fatigue/leaky gut

Hello, i am a 28 year old male that has been sick for around 6 years. I have severe food, chemical, and medication sensativities. I am sensative to artificial sweeteners, fluoride and chlorine in tap water, dairy, caffiene, and sugar. If i drink or consume caffiene i start getting a shortness of breath immediately along with a feeling like i need to catch my air. Then i will get terrible panic attacks. If i drink tap water with fluoride i start getting muscle twitches all over my face and body and become extremely fatigued. The flouride will also make me have nightmares and a feeling like im sufficating in my dreams along with me kicking my legs in order to get out of the dream. Flouridated tap water also gives me electric shock syndrome if i consume even a few sips of tap water. I know this sounds impossible but its true. I used to have severe pain for almost a year straight,joints hurt, burning pain throughout the whole body. It was so bad i couldnt even do my dishes. I felt strange surges of elecricity throughout my head while this was happening. I quit drinking fluoridated tap water and everything got better. It is so wierd. If i drink tap water it comes back fast. I get severe panic attacks if i consume sucrolose or aspartame also. I am at the point where i am afraid to eat because im afraid of the reaction. Most days i am so tired and depressed until i get caffiene or sugar in my system but then i get sick from the reaction from sugar and caffiene. If i consume just sugar like a sprite i start getting dizzy and shaky for about an hour. I have a constant tension headach everyday for a year now and the only thing that helps the headachs is sugar but i no longer can use that. I dont know how much more of these sensativities i can take. I cant work because i never feel well. Im not on any medications anymore because all of them made me sick. I get side effects from all meds. At this point my body is be
c
oming allergic to everything. I do have a condition call gilberts syndrom. This means my liver count is always elevated and my skin always has a tint of yellow. Iv had this condition since i was about 13. Could this be related. My stomach always hurts and i used to be on prilosec for about 14 years but i have been off them now for about 3 years. I dont get heartburn anymore which is a good thing. My sensativities seemed to be worse after quitting the prilosec. I tell myself everyday im going to stay away from sugar and caffiene until the headaches come and then the cycle starts. Drink coke or mountain dew then getting panic attacks etc. I quit dairy because my throat starts to get scratchy andclose up after i drink milk. My gerd heartburn went away after i quit dairy. I cant be around cigarrettes, paint smell, mold, electronic smells, or laundry rooms without having reactions. I get so chocked up and become dissoriented if im around them to the point i lost my house because of this. The doctors tell me there is nothing physically wrong with me and tell me its my anxiety but i can assure you it goes way beyond anxiety. Iv developed a mild case of ocd because of this. Doctors think im a hypocondriact. If anyone can relate to anything i just wrote please write back. I wouldnt wish whatever this is on my worst enemy. Thanks.

Thanks nike, i never knew there was a chat so i will check it out. Thanks.

Thanks for your response. The only thing i have ever been diagnosed with is gilberts syndrome. I dont know if you know what this is but i always have elevated bilirubin and i appear jaundice. The medical field says theare no side effects from gilberts syndrome and it doesnt alter the way you feel. Basicallymy liver cant detox properly. I think this may be contributing to how iv been feeling for years, but the medical field wont ever acknowledge this. I appear yellow as a banana at 28 years old. If this isnt whats causing me to feel ill, than im at a loss for words. I dont know where to go from this point. Im through with doctors telling me im a hypocondriact and that its in my head. I dont want anymore garbage man made medicine in my body. Its just more toxic waste my body cant get rid of. I truly feel i wont make it to 30 years old i feel so rotten.

disturbed33, I truly sympathize with your situation.

As for the headaches. Caffeine and sugar are both very addictive. Many people get headaches when their body starts to withdraw from these two items. For some people withdrawing from caffeine can be as physically devastating as withdrawing from heroin.

If you want to get off these two item, you are going to feel uncomfortable at the least for several days, and very sick for a couple of weeks at the most. One time I went cold turkey off caffeine and I thought I was going to die I was so sick - in bed feeling like I had the worst flu, sweating profusely. Now I taper off very slowly so as to minimize the side effects.

If you know for sure they are making you sick, and they are both toxic so I am sure they are, it is best to push through the pain and rid your body of these things.

As for the rest of your list, all those items are toxins and chemicals. It doesn't sound like real, whole foods cause a problem. When our bodies are compromised, like yours is, it is very important to be very careful of what we put into them.

Good luck

Disturbed33,

I know this post was from a few years back so I was wondering if you found any answers for your problems?? I am also 28 years old and having all those exact problems.
