Hi I initially visited my doctor in December due to having frequent urination late night and being bloated. I have been told I have stomach inflammation and food sensitivities to gluten, dairy. I am currently follow a gluten free diet that can be really boring and supplements for my stomach. I have dairy on occasion though not very much. I have been dealing with this gluten sensitivity and frequent urination for a long time, about 2 years already. I initially went to a clinic back 2 years ago thinking I had a UTI due to frequent urination. Though tests came back saying I had no URI. Ho ...

Final update. It has been histamine intolerance. One of the pills the nutritionist suggested was N-Acetyl cysteine. It gave me horrible headaches, which is a hint for histamine intolerance. I have cut back on my dairy, alcohol, gluten, chocolate, tomatoes, spinach. And the headaches are going away. My menstrual cycle is normal for the first time in my life. No bloating or brain fog. Tons of energy.   [End]

I saw a fantastic OBGYN. He practices NaPro, which means he looks to find the root cause and treat it instead of just masking symptoms! I have seen him, a dietician, and a Creighton charting instructor. So far, I have some leads that I am low in progesterone in the second half of my cycle. I bought a cream from GNC and it seems to help. I go for a blood draw for hormones in a month or two, once I can charting reliably. What causes low progesterone? Blood sugar swings, perhaps. I am aiming to keep carbs low (as in 15g per serving and 8g or less added sugar). Turns out food ...

Good thing you are fasting. Nothing but water should go in your mouth. That means no toothpaste or chewing gum, etc. to clean your mouth. You got some good advice from the poster above. Try to eat as much raw and fermented foods after you break your fast. Yogurt, kimchi, sauerkraut and kombucha are good fermented foods. You can do colon cleanse and liver flush to get rid of bad bacteria. Good job thus far. Good wishes. Archus   [End]

Thanks so much! Just stumbled on this site today and didn’t know if its an active community. Glad to see it is! I will look into marshmallow tea :) I think i will just do a 3 day water fast as I did not consult with any experts. So i don’t want to do anything terribly wrong. I will do watered down fresh green juice and sauerkraut/kimchi and then buttered cooked vegetables to ease back. Also Im not big into supplements but should i really be taking some like the glutamine etc while fasting or while re eating? I definitely will try to find a naturopath or gastro dr to get some actual ...

Fasting is a GREAT idea. How long? It all depends on your energy level. When your energy goes drastically down it is time to end it.... slowly ... with fresh vegetable juice first . If fresh juice is too difficult for you, sprout (alfalfa and others) as well as raw veggies + sauerkraut (to help the flora) are going to be a good start ... slowly, your stomach won’t be used to digesting much anymore so make it many, many small meals instead of eating too much. Raw veggies will help finish the bowel cleanse. Fasting is a great way to boost your immune system. If you get bowel pain, make ...

Yes, you have to find the right things that can work. Intestinal permeability is due to immune action in the gut, likely due to pathogenic involvement. I started on organic gelatin or some use bone broth which will heal the gut but not kill the infection. The amino acid makeup in the gelatin or broth (which are the same) is glycine and proline which are the aminos that make up the gut lining. Much more healing than glutamine. Gut permeability will cause big problems, it did for me. I would consider this as well. Remember with any infection, liver toxicity happens and when the liver ...

Hi all Recently, ive been thinking of the possible effects of medical marijuana on treatments and cleansing I can put this into three sub categories 1) The effect of medical marijuana on treatment with RX medications such as antifungals (nystatin etc) 2) The effect of medical marijuana on other herbal treatments such as black walnut etc 3) The effect of medical marijuana on the body/immune system and general healing Does anyone have any insight or experience? Interested to hear back from everyone   [End]

Don’t want to ”weird anybody out”, but I wanted to add to the idea of intestinal health, the concept of fecal transplantation. I won’t go into it, but it can be done ”Do It Yourself” if you have a close family member who is known to have a healthy gut and immune system. There are two methods. They are both used by medical doctors. 1. Blend a poop in saline and use it as an high colonic enema. 2. Make poop pills by freezing a sample from a donor and put it in gelatine capsules. This is not a recommendation, but I wanted to share that this is a valid medical procedure that can ...

Hi guys I had my functional medicine appointment yesterday. It was quite fascinating.

I need some time to ease into the diet of course, ive never cooked meat in my life.

Hey all In preparation for the next phase of my cleansing/healing, im trying to find a diet that will help reseal the gut while cleansing candida and restoring microbial balance I also plan to experiment with ”The Pulse Test” as recommended by Jaguar (Mike Forrest) Both of these diets look promising and there is a book for each one Any experience? I’ve developed tons of food intolerances and feel so much more tired after doing a fruitarian cleanse this summer, though I did kill off a lot of worms Thanks guys   [End]

Well, one month after the Reglan. I’m completely off it because it was causing my left jaw to lock up. I was having trouble opening my mouth wide enough to get a spoon in. I can feel my gut moving, though, so maybe it has done its job. I have been back on Xifaxan 550 mg 3x per day for over two weeks now. Still adhering to FODMAP diet and not the trouble I had back in June when I was on Xifaxan for the first time.

Nothing came back, but he gave me Reglan 10mg 4x per day (30 min before meals and at bedtime), Levaquin 1/day, and Flagyl 500mg 3x per day. The antibiotics were for two weeks. I was 100% back to normal on them. Then, three days later (still on Reglan), I got worse. Back to pre-antibiotics.

That’s a spot on question from blond-angel-girl-65. Have you cleanse your colon and gut? If you don’t, how are you gonna make ways for good nutrients to be absorbed.

What do you consider an unnatural sugar? Obviously stay away from splenda and aspartame ect. Well it depends. From my experience so far ketogenic gives great results but the energy lack is an issue. Besides that all carbs are basically the same and the real marker is blood sugar control. So reducing agents like vitamin c, thiamine, L-cystiene, ect should help.   [End]

I applied Iodine on the fresh cracks around my toenails because they hurt like a wound does. It dried up the following day so I did not apply anymore.Days after that I had a foot spa in a salon to remove the dead skin. The cracks lessened somehow. But then yesterday I got a new crack on my right big toe and the old cracks on my heels are starting to show. I really do need to moisturize my feet to prevent recurrence. Coconut oil can do that right? Any brand would do I hope.   [End]

alinc, If it has the name Lugols, then it is formulated in exactly the same way. The only thing that changes is the size of the bottle. Lugols = Iodine and Potassium Iodide in the exact ratio: Iodoral 50 mg = Iodine 20 mg, Iodide 30 mg Iodoral 12.5 mg = Iodine 5 mg, Iodide 7.5 mg Lugol’s 5% = Iodine 2.5 mg, Iodide 3.75 mg = 6.25 mgs total per drop Lugol’s 2% = Iodine 1.0 mg, Iodide 1. 5 mg = 2.5 mgs total per drop The chemical composition of Lugol’s is: 5% (wt/v) - Iodine (I2) 10% (wt/v) - Potassium Iodide (KI) - (7.5 mgs Iodide & 2.5 mgs of Potassium) Distilled Water - 85% D ...

Sorry, but Nascent iodine is Not Recommended by the iodine doctors, nor by the curezone iodine group. The only iodine recommended is Lugols Liquid or iodoral capsules. ”i.

The iodine is reduced to a 1% concentration in 100% ethyl alcohol and electro-magnetically transmuted (while being suspended in a wet bath containing a mild acid solution) into the Atomic state. 1 drop = 150 microgram (mcg) or .150 mg of Iodine.

Maybe call a place where they sell wine coolers and ask them if they know where to find used ones. Just some ideas that came to mind.. :)   [End]

I seriously doubt that you require a NO boost because you probably have high levels and certainly above normal which can happen with autoimmune illnesses. If anything reducing your levels would probably be of benefit. B12 can help with that as it can with increasing T suppressor cell activity if a sufficiently high dose is taken. NO tends to lower BP by dilating the blood vessels, what is your BP like? It might indicate whether your NO levels are truly high. I don’t think that this is leading you down a route which will benefit you.   [End]
