Persistent Symptoms Since Age 8
Hello CureZone community.
I'm currently age 17 and I've had a couple persistent symptoms since around age 8.
Symptoms:
Throat mucus (never ever gone away for past 10 years)
Eczema (persistent for past 10 years)
Cold hands and feet
Bloating after meals
Palpable Lymph Node on right side of neck (mom says I've had it for as long as she can remember)
Loose stools/diarrhea (I've corrected this through diet)
Canker sores in mouth from ages 8-13 (completely corrected through diet)
These symptoms bother me, but I can still function normally, going to a stressful high school and playing sports at a very competitive level. The mucus gives me chronic bad breath, which kind of sucks.
I've tried many things to address these symptoms such as a Candida diet, autoimmune diet, coconut oil, multiple liver flushes, betaine HCL, digestive enzymes, apple cider vinegar, probiotics, l-glutamine, various vitamins, and bone broth. I've cut out dairy, gluten, sugar, and processed foods for the past 2 years.
The simple/complex question is, what in the world could have caused me to start having these symptoms starting from such a young age?? I've done hundreds of hours of research, reading CureZone threads, listening to podcasts, and I always end up with little to no improvement. It's kind of silly but it's also kind of sad.
I appreciate any ideas to help me find the path to healing.
