Re: Leaky gut/candida/anxiety/adrenals; LOST, need help...

Hi everyone who's replied and read this message; hopefully this post shows up in the right place.

I'm feeling better in some ways. The skin reactions have minimized a great deal, and I don't look like I did in those pictures after I shower!

Things I've done so far:

-Quercetin daily

-Molybdenum

-Watercress

-Probiotics

-Digestive Bitters (Yummy! I've come to like them!)

-B5/Vit. C/B-Complex (tried nutritional yeast but it made me itchy again)

-Still some Betaine HCl and Digestive Enzymes

-Herbal (fairly gentle) liver and kidney flushes

-Cellulose Fiber Powder (I'm not finding it too harsh and things are coming along with, ahem, good regularity)

-Started taking Seacure; no adverse reactions I've noted, and I feel it's helping with the gut issues

-I finished another bottle of Aloe Vera Juice; the brand was "George's" - they claim bitter constituents are removed, and absolutely no water added

And food-wise:

-Still absolutely no grains, not even gluten free ones. Been a bit hard, but I think it's doing me good.

-No seeds

-Not many nuts, mostly pecans I seem to do okay with, but my body tells me if I've had too many

-Lots of coconut products, which I love, but am trying to taper down - I think I might be a bit sensitive to them...?

-Still no concentrated sugars, except fresh fruit

-Many veggies

-Lots of fat

-Tried eggs once; no skin rash, hurray! But I did feel icky after. Will try again, away from other food, to determine if they're problematic

-Nearly all protein from red meat and fish. Feels easier on my stomach than nuts and beans!

-Tried Sauerkraut again, but didn't like how I felt

Thanks for all your suggestions. I haven't tried the Body Ecology Diet, but haven't put all fermented veggies out of my mind yet - just maybe not for now. There are some things I've yet to try.

Hopefully I'll get my saliva cortisol test soon. Based on the results and how I continue feeling, I'll decide or not upon other courses of action.

Take care everyone.
