Re: prettysoulful, how are you doing?

Sorry for the delay in my response, computer issues. But to answer your questions, I have made very good progress. I have improved in every symptom. My thyroid nodule has shrunken, bloating is rare, my facial breakouts completely cleared, but I got a little too eager and tried the EFA's which broke me out, but I stopped and they are nearly gone now(after only a day and a half). Still working on those omega pathways. I can tell that the candida has lost its foothold, no more soft pale stools. I wasn't consistent with my Iodine gargle so I haven't completely cleared my white tongue, but I can remove it with brushing now, it just returns overnight, and I'm too lazy to gargle nightly. I have had great benefits from the probiotics. I had to drop my digestive enzymes and HCl temporarily because I accidentally ate some gluten for a few days(gotta be more careful!) and the enzymes and HCl really irritated my small intestine after. I will resume them in about 2 weeks to be sure that everything is healed, and I had to resume the glutamine.

I'm using the Kyo-Dophilus 9 enzymes, shelf-stable, gluten and casein free. Great stuff! I'm eager to resume the enzymes and HCl, but I can say that I was down to 2 caps of HCl per meal with no problems. I am also going to be adding taurine to my regimen to improve my bile flow, and I started taking a product that encourages hGH release to help heal my intestinal tract. Must be working because all the pain after meals is gone. And it contains glycine which also improves bile production as well as HCl production. So maybe by the end of 2 weeks I won't even need HCl anymore.

My eyes are doing well, but unfortunately got thrown off just a bit when I took the EFA's too. But they are clearing. Seems I have to work on each pathway separately, starting it seems with my 6's and eventually adding my 3's. I found a good resource for clearing my omega pathways, and I'll have to see if my efforts pay off. The moly has finally cleared my sulfur buildup. I have been able to supplement 500mg of MSM daily without any problems, and I'm really glad as I believe it will be key in my improvements of my right eye, and perhaps even my interstitial cystitis.
