People Are Allergic To Me (PATM)

[HelplessHopeful]

People are allergic to me. And a lot of other people around the world are suffering from this condition. Doctors do not beleive the reports, and most of them claim that we are crazy but we all know that we're far from being crazy. This condition causes so much heartache and stress. I have sent emails to CDC, NIH and WHO with no help. Would you please address this issue?

Through my quest to find the answer!!! I came across and interesting website that talks about GERD, as this seems to be a common thread among us. Basically it says that carbs is the may issue secondary to not being able to digest them properly causing gut bacteria to produce lots of gas causing pressure (intragastric pressure) resulting in reflux, bloating etc.  It's kind of like IBS and Fodmaps but this guy (a microbiologist) says it's different. Anyways I think you guys should read the articles. You'll find it interesting.

My theory was we are producing a gas from say a specific species of a bacteria in the gut which is unable to digest carbs properly causing patm reactions. However the gas is likely not Co2, methane or H2 etc.
I have read people saying that following a low carb diet, using digestive enzymes and even betaine HCl has helped.

The website is:

My other theory was maybe it is connected to IBS as many have said they experience GERD, fibromyalgia type symptoms (i.e. back ache, neck pain etc.) as well as anxiety. Maybe there is one more piece of the puzzle missing relating to this that can explain patm???  plus stress contributes to IBS and GERD.

FYI, I also find chocolate exacerbates my patm very much so. Chocolate is known to make GERD worse. Maybe patm is GERD related!!!

Any thoughts....

Last year I remember your allergist actually 2 allergists that took an interest in patm and were asking you lots of questions. I was so excited as I thought they would maybe go further and investigate this "thing." Others on this forum had also contacted them.  What happened to that, did they just lose interest. If we had any shot at figuring this out it, it possibly could have been them as they believed what you were saying (right)?    Have you tried seeing them again?

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to mention that when I do lower back exercises I do feel my patm is reducing. Before my patm I had an accident and my spine was standing wrong from top till down (lowest rib). Prior when my patm started I remembered that I had such a pain in my lower back that I couldn't walk and needed to lay down for 2 days.

I do notice that when I'm doing certain exercises like laying straight on my back and lifting my legs with a 90% corner in the knees and doing my legs from right to the left that it helps with the straightening of my lower rib.

Maybe you guys think that this is ******** but I don't only have this patm thing I also have more neurological problems that are also really annoying. Anyways my quess is that patm is just a symptom off the organs/ body that are not correctly doing what they should do (digesting?).

Maybe you guys could practice my exercise and tell me if this is helping you in controlling your symptoms.

Greetings!
