If you suffer from shoulder or neck pain, you may need to focus on your digestive health.

In fact, 80% of muscle knots are actually referred pain from poor digestion.

A muscle knot, also known as a trigger point, is a tight and sensitive area of contracted muscle tissue that is often painful to the touch.

If there’s a problem somewhere in your digestive tract, it could surprisingly result in muscle knots in your upper back or neck.

And in many cases, the digestive issue has to do with your gallbladder. The gallbladder is a small organ in your upper right abdomen that stores and concentrates bile needed to digest and absorb dietary fats.

The same nerve fibers that connect to the gallbladder also regulate other tissues, including your right shoulder and neck muscles.

So when this nerve becomes irritated or inflamed, it can radiate pain to other areas, explaining the link between poor gallbladder health and persistent muscle pain in the upper right back.

Following a high-fat, low-carb diet, in combination with intermittent fasting, can support gallbladder function. Try adjusting your diet accordingly to ease muscular tension in your right shoulder and neck.

Due to a scheduling conflict, this Saturday’s learning session ‘Histamine & Methylation’ will be postponed.

Instead we will be offering this presentation on Saturday May 16th, in the morning at 9:30am.

🌸 Please join us for this educational and informative session 🌸

❤️ Histamine intolerance is becoming increasingly common, but many people don’t realize it’s often linked to MTHFR gene mutations and other methylation issues.

Histamine intolerance often goes undiagnosed because its symptoms can mimic other conditions.

Think of it like trying to fit too much into a 5-gallon bucket—if you overfill it, things spill out and cause issues.

Histamine intolerance causes symptoms such as headaches, hives, anxiety/irritability, acid reflux, nausea, arrhythmia, sinus drainage, and heartburn due to excess histamine in the body.

Could your eyes, ears, and throat be signaling a deeper imbalance?

Hearing loss, tinnitus, itchy ears, irritated or gritty eyes, dry or burning eyes, light sensitivity, eyelid tics, post-nasal drip, mouth breathing, difficulty swallowing, GERD, mouth ulcers, canker sores, cavities, gingivitis, burning mouth, and itchy throat can all point to irritation and inflammation along the delicate mucosal surfaces of the head and neck.
​
When these tissues are inflamed or reactive, symptoms often show up in clusters—affecting vision, hearing, swallowing, oral health, and daily comfort, along with other areas in the body.

✨What you’ll learn at this session:

▪️Gain a deeper understanding of the connection between histamine intolerance (HIT) and the methylation process

▪️Identify foods that increase histamine levels and foods that support histamine reduction

▪️Design targeted food plans to support histamine clearance and balance

▪️Determine which supplements support histamine breakdown and which may exacerbate histamine load

✨ Kindly stop by Ottawa Valley Supplements to sign up and secure your place for this session. Payment is required in advance. (E-transfer is available)

✨ Cost is $15 per attendee and written notes will be provided.

Artificial food dyes burden your kidneys.

They require excessive filtration and re-circulation within your bloodstream.

You may think food dyes are easy to spot, but they can be found in so many grocery products, including:
-Baked goods
-Candy
-Pie filling
-Cake frosting
-Cake mix
-Fruit snacks
-Cereals
-Sodas

To avoid them, always check the ingredients when purchasing processed foods. And better yet, avoid processed foods whenever you can!

Whether or not you have celiac disease, there might be a huge benefit to cutting gluten out of your diet, especially for those with Hashimoto’s.

This was my personal experience, and it’s not unique! In my survey of 2,232 people with Hashimoto’s, 86% of respondents who had gone gluten-free reported improvements in digestive symptoms.

It’s worth noting that out of all who responded, only 3.5% had also been diagnosed with celiac disease.

This may be due to something called non-celiac gluten sensitivity, where people have celiac-like reactions to gluten, yet they don’t test positive for the typical IgA celiac antibodies, nor do they present with the characteristic damage to intestinal cells seen in celiac disease.

However, they may experience various digestive problems when they eat gluten, or delayed reactions like joint pain, brain fog, or fatigue.

Today, I’m here to look at the research behind going gluten-free to reverse Hashimoto’s, and I cover it all in my latest article. Comment GLUTEN101 and I’ll send it straight to your inbox.

Have you tried going gluten-free? How has removing gluten from your diet made you feel?
