    Thank you so much for this info. I was dealing with sudden bad allergies in mid-Feb that turned to a sinus infection and then possible bronchitis. Couldn't get in to see my regular Dr, so saw a new P.A. in the practice who prescribed prednisone (10mg). I was leery of steroids, but the cough was so bad that I stupidly took one dose (6 pills). NEVER again. That was 5 weeks ago, and I had a horrible reaction. Among other things, it immediately irritated my stomach and caused reflux, which hadn't been a problem for nearly a full year year after I quit taking a PPI. I don't know how long a single prednisone dose stays in the body, but I'm still trying to heal the after effects and wish I had never taken it.
    After spending 8 months weaning off of the PPI, I don't want to start taking it again. So I started using Slippery Elm this week and really hope it helps the throat irritation and effect of the reflux on my voice. I'm a singer, so the fallout from trusting that doctor is just devastating to me.

All of then can still be taken with your treatment . They will help heal you. Take them daily in a tea , reishi lions mane and turkey tail can be consumed in powder form and added to your smoothies.

    I use slippery elm powder for one of my dogs who has a digestive disorder. The slippery elm has definitely helped him heal and keeps the diarrhea in check. I have just been through a terrible bout of eczema on my face and other parts of my body. I was forced to do steroid cream for about two weeks because things became so severe, but I don't want to continue that. So I'm starting to use slippery elm, hoping to heal it and keep it at bay.

      Vitamin D acts as a fat soluble hormone that facilitates intestinal absorption of calcium, iron, magnesium, and zinc. The latter two are essential components needed by the body to manufacture the histamine degrading enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), so we definitely want to max out our ability to retain them. One of vitamin D’s most important roles however may be its regulation of the immune system, specifically histamine containing mast cells. In this capacity it has been shown to decrease production of histamine and leukotrienes.
      Research tells us that immune cells have vitamin D receptors and that it plays an important role in protecting us from autoimmune disorders. Vitamin D specifically regulates the action of COX, an enzyme that produces prostaglandins, which are one of many inflammatory molecules released (along with histamine) by mast cells when they’re activated. Mast cells can be triggered into releasing these inflammatory elements into the blood stream by stress, high histamine foods, allergies, extremes in temperature and more.
      I’ve experienced them all in spades and watched first hand as my mast cells spiralled out of control. Thankfully I learned to control my triggers and train my mast cells into not releasing too much histamine and other inflammation when not needed.
      Take the stress out of meal planning and healing histamine with this four week meal planner and stress relieving program.
      Vitamin D generally disrupts the release and production of inflammatory cytokines from mast cells, specifically interleukins and TNF. It can also promote the production of anti-inflammatory mediators that may help us heal. There’s also evidence that vitamin D may help regulate the allergic response and cause mast cells to die off. Lower than average levels of vitamin D have been found in those with autoimmune disorders like lupus, arthritis, multiple sclerosis, diabetes and others. 70 to 100 nanograms. Research Dr. Berg as he has about five videos on vitamin d and dosages for autoimmune diseases.
      To get rid of chronic bronchitis I took 30000 IU for three weeks and it went away and now I take 20000 to 30000IU. To beat viruses blood levels should be 50 nanograms per militer of blood. Some doctors now believe optimum levels are healinghistamine.com/blog/the-role-of-vitamin-d-in-histamine-inflammation/
