Gluten Allergy

[Guest guest]

Symptoms and signs of gluten allergy often tend to a LV condition

with flank pain, subcostal engorgement, LV Flux with Rising Heat.

 

If all 5 Element illnesses are cyclical and progress or regres along

set pathways, and as gluten allergy is a gradually progressing

condition, one wonders if it has originated from an inherent LU

condition, or a LI problem, as the basic theater to work out

allergens is the ST, a sister viscus to LI.

 

In which case can gluten allergy really be a progression of LU LI

illness, and can the allergic status be amenable to treatment by

regularization of Metal.

 

I request all folks who have wisdom in this to pitch in.

Having this very malady, I have worked for a couple years for

solutions.

 

Think about what a food allergy response does. Much liquid is

produced to surround the offending food and transport it out faster

than normal, without full processing, or, if severe/extreme, expel it

ASAP via vomiting. Skin can turn red, generate hives, blisters, etc.

Mind gets fuzzy, weak, memory, etc.

 

Edema and phlegm accumulation can result from failure to reprocess

the liquids summoned for the allergy response. Metal imbalance is

indeed suggested as Metal and KD are both probably taxed hard in

condensing enough liquid for rapid reactive response. LV is supposed

to be guiding the smooth flow of QI and so it is implicated as well.

At heart, it is probably a failure to process nutritive Qi.

 

The LU, KD, LI and LV are most likely being depleted, and the more

depleted, the more overly sensitive and overreactive they can get.

You may notice allergic responses can get worse over time, possibly

as the imbalance and depletion gets worse with each inciting

occasion. Skin and mucuous membranes are where most of this improper

reaction happens, which points fingers at LU and LV.

 

Treatments which turn up internal heat in digestion and tonify Kidney

help. But the simplest help did the most good--just add a teaspoon

of cinnamon to the diet in the morning. Very cheap medicine. It made

a remarkable and nearly immediate difference for me. The stools

straightened out in 48 hours.

 

Find out from your allergy sufferers how many are eating after 9pm at

night when systems should be quieting down, or have 'urges' to eat

around or after 11pm. The timing of eating needs to be controlled as

well.

 

For me SP dampness/phlegm was a related issue along with the LU/LI

problems, but at least the allergy issues are greatly diminished with

cinnamon consumption.

 

Now the remaining problem is wanting to sleep after eating gluten

containing food. So there is still Qi depletion to correct, but the

reverse/perverse Qi with the allergy is not so problematic.
