Well, I checked out your blog, but I messed up my comment there, so I'll say it here.

Have you thought about finding a good naturopath or nutritionist to help guide you through an elimination diet?

It's possible that some of your issues are caused by other foods. If nothing else, a monitored elimination diet will teach you more about your body and its relationship to food.

My problems are not caused by foods. There is something serious going on. Certain labs are off, but they just can't figure out what exactly is going on.

Thanks,

What makes you say that your problems are not definitively food related? Is it because you have already done an elimination diet?

Those symptoms sure sound like they could be intolerances, especially since dr's have said they can find no big indicators.

Maybe you don't believe the food is a problem. If it isn't food than doing an elimination diet shouldn't make you any worse or better. Why not give it a try? Couldn't hurt, might help.

My daughter used to "lose" important things from time to time; school books, homework, etc. She would spiral into a panic. I would help her look for it while she followed me around screamiing, "it can't be there, I already looked ...... I never put it there!!" When I finally found the item, she would calm down, look chagrined and apologize. I told her, "when you can't find something, looking in the same place over and over won't find it for you. You have to look in places you haven't searched before even if it seems like you'd never find it there."

I would say the same to you, looking for answers in the same places over and over (dr's) without any satifactory results will be no help to you. It's time to look in the places your sure it could never be. Look for the answer to your health every where you can. You made a good start by posting it here. But I caution you, don't blow off the ideas that come your way. Nothing has helped you so far so maybe a strange suggestion could help.

I'm sorry you are feeling so badly.

I am not a doctor but in my limited experience your description does sound like heart problems. Is it possible that any of the medication you are on may affect the heart?

My father, a very active 70 year old, started to have problems like you are describing and he went to the hospital, he refused to leave until they fixed it, turns out he needed a quadruple bi-pass and two days later they did the surgery. I am not suggesting this strategy for you, but I am saying if you know there is a problem then you may have to force them to pay attention to you.

The internet is a risky place to be looking for a diagnosis and our minds are powerful, in my opinion we need to be careful about the kinds of messages we give ourselves. I would encourage you to focus on gratitude for the moment you have now with your beautiful children and husband and to lean in every thought towards wellness .....as in I will live, I will live, I will live.

As for diet, this is a Celiac site and food is the solution for many of us here. I know you do not think that this is food related and it may not be but some foods can heal, others foods are neutral and some do harm. White sugar is a poison that robs our body of nutrition inorder to digest it, aspartame is toxic to some and if you drink diet drinks that could be contributing to your illness. Seriously.

What is your diet like?

I hope you find some answers soon and live a long and joyful life.
