I know you have alpha gal. Do you know any good resources for research. My wife is having what we think is gall bladder issues. But I've noticed she is improving when she eats less animal proteins.
Do symptoms mirror or have similarities with gall bladder symptoms?

in reply to Shogun of East TX • • •— here’s my fav AGS resource: alphagalinformation.org/sympto…
Many people with AGS have primarily, or even only, gastro symptoms. And it’s very different from person to person. A few examples from people I know well:
P1-stomach pain, diarrhea, chronic hives, fatigue
P2-stomach pain, diarrhea, brief bumpy rash, hair loss
P3-migraine, fatigue, joint pain, nausea
P4-stomach pain, diarrhea, vomiting, burning skin, arthritic pain in hands and feet, brain fog
P5-mild gastro discomfort

in reply to Lady MountainJay • • •— it can take some people years to get diagnosed, especially where it’s not prevalent. It’s just an easy antibody blood test though.
You could also try avoiding ALL mammal products for awhile and see if she feels better. If she’s highly sensitive though, that could include things like cross-contamination, sugar (bone char), natural flavors, and airborne fumes. But just cutting out the obvious mammal meats and dairy might be enough to know if it’s worth cutting out more.
