Message Subject I found a direct causal source for my recurring PTSD symptoms. Maybe this info will help you too.
Poster Handle Red Harvest
Post Content
This post is first I've ever read stating food brings on PTSD. Worst nightmare was during high fever when a child. Still think about that one and it was 40 years ago. We live in a sea of hormones that act like spirits. We get more free will when understanding these. Will does nothing for a type 1 diebetic without insulin or a young person who overdosed on Tylenol and didn't know that they have few hours to treat or their dead in month.

Developed a severe dry eye. Ended up being dairy allergy but didn't' appear that way. After paying for test insurance wouldn't and stopping all dairy, eyes were fine after three days. There was a 3 day lag from either eating dairy and dry eyes or stopping dairy, cause and effect were difficult to understand.

Any other effects of red sauce? Things like blood pressure, general anxiety, etc? I looked at ingredients and nothing added thats out of order.

That's what made the link so hard to figure out. I always assumed those foods were fine because I had been eating them for so many years and because the ingredient list is actually quite basic by modern standards. It contains common known ingredients that exist in many other foods that I have never had issues eating. Who knows, it might even be a unique weed killer or fertilizer that's sprayed on one of the ingredients in LaVictoria products before harvest, or something unique in the soil where their particular ingredients are sourced from. It might not be an obscure spice not identified on the ingredient list.

In terms of other effects, there aren't any that I can think of. In general my body falls easily into calcium deficiency. I have to make sure I get enough calcium and K2 each day for everything to keep working well. My magnesium levels seem to stay fine on their own. If I get lazy and stop taking 400-600mg of supplemental calcium and additional K2 for a couple days I will notice continual but painless micro muscle twitches starting to return in my lower legs. If I still don't take my calcium/K2, it will progress to calf and hamstring muscles that feel somewhat stiff and will cramp very easily within another day or two. I will also notice my finger joints starting to get a bit stiff feeling. A couple days back on the calcium/K2 and I am back to normal and feeling great again.

It probably doesn't relate directly to PTSD, but I thought I would mention it since nutrition is a topic of this thread. Most people don't realize that you can get vitamin D from food, it isn't just from the sun. Word games are used to make it seem like the sun is the only natural source. That's because the sun makes vitamin D3 on the surface of the skin. That D3 is then absorbed and sent to the liver and converted to calcidiol. Calcidiol is what a blood test for vitamin D level actually tests for. The kidneys then take that calcidiol and convert it to calcitriol. Calcitriol is actually the final product vitamin/hormone that does all the good work of vitamin D3. Nightshade foods like tomatoes, potatoes, and eggplant all contain calcitriol, so eating them puts calcitriol directly into your body without any processing through the liver or kidneys first. Too much calcitriol in the body is known to cause soft tissue calcification and joint calcification because the body is flooded with a hormone telling it to absorb all the calcium it can get from the food you eat but it isn't getting enough of the K2 needed to tell the body to put that calcium only into your bones. As a result, that extra calcium ends up being deposited anywhere it can find room, like your vein/artery walls, in your joints, etc. People who are very sensitive to this dynamic are considered nightshade sensitive. In reality they might just be very K2 deficient.

I think the dynamic of nightshade foods containing plenty of the active hormone that's associated with the benefits of vitamin D supplementation might also be why some people experience negative effects from taking supplemental vitamin D even if they test low in vitamin D on a blood test at the doctor. Their bodies aren't actually vitamin D deficient even if a blood test says they are, becaue that test doesn't test for the actual final product amount of calcitriol in the body which is in nightshade foods and is the hormone/vitamin that actually matters and is doing the work of "vitamin D".

Interesting you have a calcium metabolism issue, as I do. You appear to have hypocalcemia, while I have opposite. You shouldn't have to take calcium sups but appears your parathyroid hormone is low or your VDR is wonky and doesn't respond to it. I don't have deep tendon reflexes you? When parathyroid is high asthma and high blood pressure, am sensitive to MSG cause it increases inter cellular calcium. How does alcohol affect you? Its important cause it mobilizes calcium and makes havoc on vitamin D metabolites.

I get frequent full labs on calcium related stuff including ionized calcium, phosphorous, 25 hydroxy, 1,25 vitamin D and pth. One winter stopped doing tanners, and coffee. Vitamin D 25hydroxy) rised to 60 whatever units. The body also destroys vitamin D. Coffee moves calcium around body decreased vit d. Another lab after taking a small handful of 100,000 IU vit D, another handful of A, another of k2, mk4 and was 100,000.

Have you done calcium labs? BTW 3 beers at 5pm greatly affected labs 24 hours later. Calcium was lowered but calcitriol, active vit d was 3x upper limit of normal.

Red 40 makes me hot and hyper, I wonder if they added as a poster under you mentioned it.

Oral vitamin D is a poison I think, causes body to absorb too much calcium AND heavy metals, taking it with calcium is big no, unless your chemistry is needing it.

vitamin D is a hormone and its Vitamin K that's the danger with calcium it can cause blood clots.
