Alchohol is a potent GABA receptor ago it's and there are many withdrawal symtoms associated with this. All of your symptoms sound alchohol related to me. This stuff will pass you just have to give it some time. Continue eating a very healthy Diet and do calming exercises such as yoga, tai chi and meditation. Also, check your blood pressure when standing as that can cause your dizziness if it drops. Your still very young and will bounce back. Just make sure you stay off any alchohol or GABA agonists such as benzodiazepines. You dont want to get addicted to something else also. You will be just fine.

Take some Swedish Bitters, a good Liver Cleansing formula. Take 5 mls three times daily before meals. A "green" drink daily or a good chlorella drink will help a lot too.

Wow, so young.
Yes, it is the alcohol. It will clear in time.
BUt, if your drank as an alcoholic, it would have been better to taper off slowly.

I've heard of a good book called "Seven weeks to Sobriety" a natuaral approach of overall healing. Sure you can find it on Amazon.

ALcohol also wreaks havoic with blood Sugar and insulin.

The vegetable and gluten free areas are a good start. I would limit your fruit for a few weeks to a few months.
And also, need to incorporate some good protein, ( fish, beef, eggs, cottage cheese, chicken, turkey) as this helps with the glucose regulation. ( but still do not consume a lot of protein as it is hard to digest and in turn is hard on the liver too. Digestive enzymes do help with the protein, like Prancreatin and HCI.

Avoid sugars, desserts and fruit juices too.

Without all this, it seems like there is not much to eat, but really there is.

If you need any advise, even thuogh I am in a severe stage of AF, I have been hypoglemic for 27 years and have learned a lot about it, not just from reading, but from my own experience and from my past naturopathic doctor.

Be sure to eat a snack of protein and a little complex carb about an hour before bed: like cottage cheese and a few baby carrots, or Celery stock with almond butter on it, as it will tie you over till morning.

Eat small meals 4-5 times a day. Do not go more than 3-4 hours with out eating.

Hope you get better soon.

Make sure you are getting plenty of sleep!! With dumping the alcohol, your body is going to need a lot of rest/sleep to detox and reset itself. A good diet and some exercise will do wonders. I had a friend dump his bad habit and it took him a month to get back to "normal".

Hi Breath,

If you are still interested in finding a solution to your health problem, and gaining greater health in ALL areas of your body, I STRONGLY encourage you to read this article written by Dr. Robert Cathcart, M.D. http://vitamincfoundation.org/www.orthomed.com/titrate.htm

Perhaps it may help solve your problem. You have only better health and well-being to gain by applying its recommendation. What have you got to lose?

These two quotes are instructive:

"There are more than ten thousand scientific papers that make it quite clear that there is not one body process (such as what goes on inside cells or tissues) and not one disease or syndrome (from the common cold to leprosy) that is not influenced - directly or indirectly - by vitamin C." -- Dr. Emanuel Cheraskin, M.D., Dr. Marshall Ringsdorf, D.M.D., and Dr. Emily Sisley, THE VITAMIN C CONNECTION.

“I have never seen a patient that Vitamin C would not benefit.” -- Dr. Frederick Klenner, M.D.

I wish you BEST success, Breath, in your search for a solution to your health issue!

David
