EP07 - Metal Allergies & the Low-Nickel Diet: SHOCKING Before & After
Bethany had a normal childhood upbringing but realized early on that she was sensitive to the metal in earrings, jean buttons & bracelets.
She didn’t really worry about it, because it was just where the metal contacted her body.
She got braces as a teenager and aside from canker sores, didn’t seem to have much of a reaction, so the metal in the braces didn’t really throw any flags at this time. She also had a reaction to concrete, but didn’t make the association that there were traces of metal in the concrete.
As she started college, things began to get more serious as she had bouts of IBS, severe enough to require medical testing, but doctors were still scratching their heads, assuring her that she was young and healthy and most everything looked great in her results & chart.
During COVID, Bethany had a severe flare, presenting with significant swelling & redness, which almost rendered her unrecognizable.
Thanks to the wisdom of a progressive, on-call urgent care doctor, who pointed out the likelihood of a nickel allergy, suspecting piping used in older construction, as many of Bethany’s results occurred after bathing, Bethany was able to do further research.
After discovering that there is a dietary connection to nickel allergies, Bethany was able to change what she ate, as well as a host of things in her environment and achieved full relief from her symptoms, as well as relief of chronic pain she didn’t even realize she was in!
Diet is hugely important in helping to combat chronic symptoms and needs to be discussed more frequently. Anyone with a history of reactions to metal and jewelry will be able to benefit from Bethany’s knowledge.
Metal allergy can be a dangerous and life-altering condition. It can cause severe pain and disrupt an individual's life. Spreading awareness regarding this most important issue is of the utmost importance.
