New Symptoms

[Patty55]

So happy to have had this site to resort to for the past two years! I have only written twice, the rest of the time just sat with my mouth open while I read about everyone who sounded like me!

I have only for the past two months been unable to shake my symptoms. For one year I was successfully gluten free after hospitalization and miss-diagnosis of Crohn's. Then developed Leaky Gut Syndrome and improved dramatically with nutritional supplements from my chiropractor and Kinesiologist. Two months ago I developed strange new symptoms, aching joints, feeling feverish and started on new nutrional supplements which contained trace amounts of wheat, defatted wheat germ, oat flour, alfalfa flour and buckwheat seed and juice, which my chiropractor tested and told me would not harm me. I immediately began feeling better, but noticed an obvious degree of hair loss and weight gain the day after starting the supplements. Also saw my regular MD who (of course) said it was a virus because of the aching. So I stopped the supplements and the sypmtoms reappeared! My chiropractor insisted I had a bacteria and that I continue the supplement. A week or so later he tested me again and said it was not a virus or bacteria, as he first thought, but a parasite. For the last three weeks he has treated me with Oil of Oregano and acidophilus, which has slightly alleviated the aching, etc. I have also developed a soy allergy, which I identified, thanks to this site, and he confirmed Kinesiologically (whew!). But to date I still have hair loss and the weight which I am not sure if due to the soy I've been unknowingly ingesting or the trace amounts of gluten I took for two weeks.

Can anyone tell me whether these disconcerting sypmtoms will go away soon or I should expect a wait while my body clears itself of the gluten and soy?

Thanks for listening and more for all your information!
