Also, lately the bottoms of my feet will swell and it feels like I'm walking on golfballs.....
I am going to ask my Dr. to test my PH..
I am going through a very similar situation as the other lady..Only this time I have a yeast infection with it..The swelling happens to me quite often..twice a month or more..I also have Hepatitus c, which I attributed this too..My lips swell first, then my fingers immediately..Then my entire face...I have some swollen tender glands on the right side of my neck also..I have bloodwork done every 3-6 months and the last couple of times my pottasium levels have either been too high or too low..I am scared because this happens so frequently..I usually end up in the ER to get a shot of benadryl...My esophagus is usually what sends me there..It swells and I can't stand the throat and chest pains I get..I will sleep sitting up tonight because of it...When all this happens I am totally drained of energy..I do not sleep well.Just dream weird dreams all night long..I am sooooo tired of being in pain and being tired..Today my entire body is swollen..I just want to lay in bed..Help me please..I have no insurance and I go to the Health Dept. for my labs.........................Thanks sue-z-q
Before spending a lot of money on Allergie testiing, I would suggest that you get a pH diagnostic test. If your pH is out of balance it is very likely that you are not converting the nutrients you are consuming properly. A large percentage of people in the 50 and up age groups, but not limited to these age groups, do not produce enough Hydrochloric acid in the first stage of digestion. When this occurs unconvered Protein (raw Protein) will be dumped into the small bowel. Under normal conditons the Gut will sterlize and break down the nutrients consumed, and Pepsin will cause the conversion of Protein into Proteoses and Peptones. When you are not producing sufficient Hydrocholric Acid, Pepsin is not active in the conversion process. All this means is raw protein, which contains Allergins are dumped into the Small bowel. These allergins will cause many different allergic reactions. The immune system is designed to attack paracites, bacteria, and viruses, It was not designed to attack sterilized and converted nutrients we consume, but that is exactly what happens when raw protein is dumped into the Digestive tract. When the immune system is activated, antibodies (also called immunoglobulins) are produced. Antibodies in turn trigger an inflamatory response. which will cause incresed mucous production, swelling, skin rashes, irregular stools, etc. There is a very inexpensive test that uses a micro electronic pH capsule that works very well, I know,I had one and it realy helped. You might want to search on the internet for pH Capsule.
Hello,
Unexplained swelling of the lip without any predisposing disease is frequently caused by allergiesThis swelling of the lip is called angioedema. Symptoms include swelling of any body part which appears suddenly and comes and goes.
Hives (medically known as urticaria) are red, itchy, raised areas of skin that appear in varying shapes and sizes. They have a tendency to change size rapidly and to move around, disappearing in one place and reappearing in other places.Many cases of hives are "idiopathic," meaning no cause is known. Others may be triggered by viral infections or medications.
Diagnosis of both is by clinical examination and complete blood tests and allergy tests.Treatment is by antihistaminics and steroids.
I sincerely advise you to consult an allergist and get allergy testing done to find out the allergens to which you are allergic.Once allergens are identified then their avoidance is the best treatment.
I hope that helps. Please do keep me posted on how you are doing or if you have any additional doubts.Warm regards.
