Hi Sarah. Please speak to your doctor about specific tests for fluoride toxicity. He/she will be able to advise you accordingly after considering other factors and conditions that may contribute to some of your symptoms.

Thanks for this – what kind of tests would be best. I have already been tested for kidneys, liver, glucose, cortisol and full blood all of which were fine??

Hi Sarah. That could be a possibility as there are concerns about the high fluoride content in some brands of Himalayan salt. The only way to know for sure is to undergo the relevant diagnostic tests under the supervision of your doctor. There are various other possibilities that could account for the symptoms that you have experienced. It would be difficult to say with any certainty without the relevant tests. Your doctor will advise you further.

Doesn’t it obviously sound like nicotine poisoning since it was an e-cigarette?
Did you look up nicotine poisoning?

Hi Kami. It is difficult to link these symptoms to a specific chemical just yet. The liquid used in e-cigarettes could be responsible if consumed in small quantities over a long period. There may be other issues as well. At this point you should definitely see a periodontist and possibly also consult with a physician. To some degree these symptoms could be associated with acid reflux or bile reflux. However, this is best diagnosed by a medical professional. Speak to your dentist again and get the necessary referrals.
