Overcoming

[1desperateladysaved]

Greetings old friends and new folks.  At one time I had lost all of my swelling (after avoiding all foods I had antibodies to).  After that I added many foods back in.  Shortly thereafter I began to swell back up and for some reason, I missed the problem.  Finally I had gone from 155 lbs to 203 lbs (No sweets) and I turned to my health providers to solve it.  We couldn't figure it out.  I decided to consult with an expert in the nutrition field.

I watched, "Thy Thyroid Secret" by Isabella Wentz to help find the person who might help me next.  Teri Cochrane's (nutritionist) patient seemed to talk about similar problems as mine namely extreme swelling and bloating besides super-sensitive allergies.  Because of her testimony I decided to visit with Teri Cochrane; she is the author of the new book "The Wildetarian Diet".  She had me do a 23andme genetic test and found I had (besides celiac genes) a gene that gave me problems breaking down sulfur, one that makes it difficult to break down fats,  one that made it difficult to break down pesticides and even my own hormones.  Those she calls "the big 3", so she put me on the most stringent diet that she recommends in order to try to re-balance my body and give it a break.  She also determined that I had chronic Epstein-Barr. I began late last summer and have had my weight go down to 165 lbs.  I feel so much better and my energy level is coming back although sporadic.  

Basically, I went back to the diet that I used when I had the allergy problems and I find the food very satisfying.  I also am using supplements and herbs to help fight the Epstein-Barr virus and help to heal my system.  I am profoundly impressed with the diet.  IF anyone has tried for a year or more and still is having difficulties, I highly recommend looking into the Wild Diet.

I am surprised that nobody replied to this. Is the diet also gluten-free? Can you tell us more about it?
