Hi,

I'm new to this but figured I'd give it a shot. Lol. I was  just reading about prostaglandins being related to too much omega 6 and not enough omega 3. So any organic food source of omega 3 should help. And limit all sources of omega 6.

I think I read that we shouldn't be using oils from flax or walnuts to get our omega 3s.  These go rancid too quickly. I found this true with flax.

Fwiw, I'm a celiac with long term gut damage and I always feel better if I take a children's aspirin. I've been avoiding them because I'm a celiac but I'm going to try taking one every other day for awhile and see how I feel. I have chronic pain from angioedema and this may help.

Hi Debbie.  I have had elevated prostaglandin F2 24 hour urine sample. May I ask what your level was?  Or what is considered slightly elevated?.  I have not seen Dr. Castells yet but have had several conversations with her and every time I have an appointment I am too sick to travel.  Anyhow, I have a ridiculous amount of pain.  I too have tried asprin and I felt very strange after taking it.  But it was a baby asprin maybe it was the dye.  Will try again.  I also have heard that adding Omega 3 is very good. I was told by another patient on a blog to try grass fed butter.  I found Kerryland Butter from Ireland at my local Von's and it really helps.  I use a lot of it first thing in the morning.  Some people put two tablespoons in their hot drink.  I have fatty liver but had my liver checked a few months later and my liver was actually better.  Not sure if it's coincidental.  I've never been a drinker, so fatty liver is not from that.   Wish it was because that would be an easy fix for me.  Anyhow, I used to eat a ton of walnuts and when I stopped that and the olive oil, it did help with food reactions but  my joints and body ached a lot more.  And the butter and also coconut oil have been very helpful. I can only do a tiny dose of coconut oil as it gives me a little too much energy and I get anxiety from it.  So go with caution and it can also release mast cells in some people.  I can't do coconut oil on very very reactive days, but most days I'm fine with it.  Good luck and hope you feel better soon. Also, I wanted to say I can't take zantac or pepcid or anything like that.  It causes a nasty reaction.  But my local doctor wrote a prescription for children's ranitidine or zantac in syrup form and I am able to adjust my dose to what I can handle and it's only about a 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon, but helps so much.  It literally knocks me out, so I only take it at night.
