Advice on a new direction

Hi there,

I’m having trouble deciding how I should attempt to tackle my health.

My symptoms progressed as follows

Poor diet -> post nasal drip -> even poorer diet -> hypoglycaemia -> fatigue/achy eyes/neck ache/insomnia -> then everything else, now including immune system and digestive problems such as multiple food intolerances .

My primary symptom set includes.....

- Hypoglycaemia (controlled by diet)
- Neck ache
- Food intolerance
- Achy eyes – everything appears brighter.
- Fatigue, physical and mental. Most fatigued around 6pm after work. Most awake after 8pm
- Insomnia – either waking up in the middle of the night and early morning and/or failing to get to sleep due to feeling ‘awake’ still after 10pm
- Post nasal drip
- Anxiety
- Irritability
- ‘Racing mind’
- Brain fog

My secondary symptom set, coming on more recently than the first...

- Unexplained knee joint pain (not relieved by physio)
- Diarrhoea
- Constipation
- Eye twitch
- Liver ache
- Muscle ache in the chest
- Peeling skin
- Mouth ulcers and tooth ache
- Coated tongue (could be the mucous from the post nasal drip)
- Occasional metallic/bitter taste in mouth
- Athletes foot
- Occasional uncomfortable bowel movements
- Greenish stools (This seems to co-inside with eating greens the day before or 2 days before, not sure if its anything to worry about)
- Dizziness
- Itchy ears
- Stress
- Addictive personality
- Spaced out thoughts
- Excitability
- Headaches
- Depression
- Hiccups and bloating after meals, even when eating slow
- Hair goes greasy/oilly after a day without washing
- Frequent flu like symptoms

My food intolerances include

- Dairy, eggs and milk
- Pretty much all nuts – Macadamia, almond, brazil and pine
- Hot spices e.g. paprika
- Yeast
- Gluten sensitivity

I have been on a rotation anti-candida diet for 5 months, and been on and off with supplements and antifungals. I went to see a doctor who put me on a leaky gut program but unfortunately I have since picked up more sensitivities, from either the supplements he put me on – beta glucan, probiotics, L-Glutamine, EFA’s, milk thistle and fish oils – or a new food. Because of this this will have voided any potential benefit from the supplements.

My know reaction to food sensitivites includes a flare up of brain fog, unable to stay asleep for long at night, loose stools after a few days and constant salivating.

Given my symptom set I most likely have a combination of leaky gut, Candida and adrenal fatigue.

Considering I have tried the Candida protocol for 5 months now I’m thinking I’ll try tackling the adrenals instead. Also my digestive problems came along most recently when looking at my symptom progression so the adrenals could be the cause?

If anyone has any ideas then let me know, as I have no money to see a doctor or ND or to do anymore tests.

Oh and I’m 6ft 2, 10.5 stone so low carb diets and fasting are out of the question. Also when I attempt any cleansing, my liver starts to ache.

Many thanks,
