Thank you very much! I did my first cilantro “shot” today. 1/2 bunch blended with a bit of water. It didn’t bother me at all. I don’t mind cilantro and I’ll try anything at this point! I bought several bunches and froze it. I’m very excited to have something to try. I’ve been miserable and searching for help and answers. I’m grateful for all the informative, helpful posts you have made. I’ve been reading through all the posts and it’s great to know there is a community of people trying to help one another. I requested to join the FB group and checked out Earthclinic site as well. I’m so glad to hear that you are feeling better after your last breakout. Thank you again for taking time to write. All the best.
Thanks to your recommendation, I've been buying large quantities of cilantro at a time and blending it in my food processor with a small amount of water and freezing it in cup cake pans. Once frozen I take the frozen cilantro discs and put them in large Ziploc bags. Every night I put one frozen cilantro discs in a small juice glass to defrost with a tiny bit of water and chug it down. The taste doesn't bother me and the burning all over my chest, abdomen, back and thighs is almost gone. 😃
I am putting this out to the GD population in general. Gardeningjunckie is probably the single most knowledgeable person on the subject of this miserable disease around. I have had GD for about 5 or 6 years now and a day does not go by when I don't read what is said on this site. I am incredibly thankful for her knowledge and insight about this disease we all suffer from. I did fresh frozen Cilantro for about 2 years and the itching stopped. It resurfaced about 1 1/2 years ago but only minor, intermittent outbreaks. I am lazy by nature and decided to try the Cilantro oil instead of going through the process of preparing the herb and choking it down in a fruit smoothie. I have been using it since my last outbreak, and in all honesty, I don't think it's as effective as fresh frozen. My outbreak is small, and I manage the itching with ice, which I find very effective, so I continue with the oil hoping it will eventually rid me of any symptoms. On the other hand, I may just go back to the fresh, frozen in an attempt to finally be rid the symptoms entirely. My hat is off to gardeningjunckie for her incredible transparency, and all the research she has done. For my money, she far and away is the best resource about GD there is. Thank you again for all that you do for all of us.
