Hello all.

I am at my wits end here. I have suffered for many years with a number of health conditions. Depression, anxiety, bad digestion, bloating, constipation, and the biggest of all, a severe skin disorder which seems to be something between cystic Acne and DH (skin disease associated with gluten). I am gluten intolerant but also intolerant to a number of other things and sometimes seemingly EVERYTHING. I react, I react I react.. constantly. It's a neverending battle trying to get nutrients into my gut without causing stomach pain, bloating, and then often a skin breakout.

I know I have an extremely damaged gut from years of eating gluten and then 3 years being vegetarian and loading up on soy, which I also react to but didn't know at the time. A doctor told my friend that soy can literally eat holes in the gut when a person is sensitive.. if only I had known because after awhile of being vegetarian my condition got worse and worse and I didn't know what was going on so I kept eating soy, because naieve little me thought it was healthy at the time. Oy... :(

So my diet for the past year has already been soy/gluten/corn and dairy free, but I am still having a lot of problems. It's like my gut just wont heal. Not to mention in the past year I've relapsed completely with Depression and anxiety and had a lot of stress and am now suffering adrenal fatigue on top of everything, AND I've spent the last few years battling a nasty parasite infection on top of everything, which adds to the stress, etc. I think you can see the nasty cycle, it's like a huge puzzle with so many interlocking pieces I don't even know where to begin. parasite cleansing has helped some, but is also hard on my weak gut, so I feel I need to heal my gut before attempting more cleanses...

I guess I just am looking for some support, and I also am interested in speaking to people doing the SCD who are also high raw.. I have a strong instinct that the enzymes in raw food are needed and my diet of lots of cooked rice, beans etc has been destroying my gut even further. And if anyone has successfully helped the leaky gut with this diet I am interesting in hearing your story. I sometimes feel I am beyond repair. :(

Also, since I am so new to this, I was wondering if anyone knew why melatonin supplements are illegal on the SCD? I know a lot of supplements have fillers and what not but I have a melatonin supp that is free of all grains and allergens so I was wondering if it's the melatonin itself or something in the pills... I will stop taking it for now either way..

My skin lesions are so painful this morning... I knew this morning this had to be the first day of the rest of my life. I just can't live like this anymore and I will do whatever it takes.

Thanks!

PS- before anyone suggests Liver Flushing or other cleanses I should say I've done 11 Liver Flushes and they've helped a lot, but I feel I can't do more cleansing until my gut heals as it just weakens me at this point.
