Adrenal Fatigue

Hi All,

I was curious to know if anyone has experienced a successful outcome when using homeopathy for the treatment of their moderate to severe adrenal fatigue?

I do realize that some symptoms such as allergies, usually have an adrenal component as the root cause. But I am more specifially interested in hearing from people (especially women) who have chronic adrenal issues(fatigue, food cravings, poor ability to handle stress, anxiety etc.)and their success stories.

Thank you for your input!

Hi Tammy -

I have done pretty well by taking licorice supplements for my adrenal fatigue. There's a hormone in licorice that will help support your adrenals and taking licorice regularly for me really helps bring me back up to normalacy. My system gets overbalanced with eating the wrong foods (hypoglycemia) and hormone issues and when this happens, I need to go back on track for a few weeks of taking licorice.

The main things to consider about this are that licorice can raise blood pressure so you need to keep that in mind, and DGL Licorice (deglyccorized licorice) doesn't, but also doesn't help with adrenal fatigue. If you need licorice for digestion, use DGL, if for adrenals, use the regular stuff.

So far, any other herbal remedies for adrenal fatigure haven't been that helpful for me, though I do also make sure I take things to support my liver and my B vitamins. They help with stress.

Take care

Hi

Does anyone happen to have a list of what specific brands of 'regular' licorice are gluten-free?

And, if so, what web site to purchase from?

Thanks,

Gina

I use Open Original Shared Link. It is pretty easy to find at even regular grocery stores (those that have some kind of supplement section) or at the health food store. I take three capsules a day.

the problem with manysupplements for adrenal fatigue is if they are stimulating the adrenals. This it is like flogging dead horse and will actaully make things worse in the long run, so if you decide to take supplements check out exactly how they work on the body first. stay away from guarana and cafeine

the reason the adrenals get fatigued is from too much stimulation. the best thing is reducing stress in all areas of your life, getting healthy and allowing the body the time it needs to get well, rest.

unfortunatley it can take a while but overstimulating already exahuasted gland will just cause more damage, a case of the cure being worse than the disease.

Yeah, it's like sugar crashes - then people eat more sugar to give themselves a little "pick up". And then make it worse. It's like living on credit and not paying the bill.

That's what I like about licorice - it actually benefits the adrenal glands by taking up some of the slack so they can heal.

      Looking for help sourcing gluten-free products that do not contain potato or corn derived ingredients. I have other autoimmune conditions (Psoriatic Arthritis and Sjogrens) so I’m looking for prepared foods as I have fatigue and cannot devote a lot of time to baking my own treats.

      I am so sorry you're going through this. It's completely understandable to feel frustrated, stressed, and disregarded after such a long and difficult health journey. It's exhausting to constantly advocate for yourself, especially when you're dealing with so many symptoms and positive diagnoses like SIBO, while still feeling unwell. The fact that you have been diligently following the diet without relief is a clear sign that something else is going on, and your doctors should be investigating other causes or complications, not dismissing your very real suffering.

      It is just so sad that health care in the United States has come to this.  Health insurance should be available to everyone, not just the healthy or the rich.  My heart goes out to you.  I would not hesitate to have the test and pay for it myself.  My big concern would be how you could keep the results truly private.  I am sure that ultimately, you could not.  A.I. is getting more and more pervasive, and all data is available somewhere.  I don't know if you could give a fake name, or pay for your test with cash.  I certainly would not disclose any positive results on a private insurance application.  As I understand it, for an official diagnosis, an MD needs to review your labs and make the call.  If you end up in the ER, or some other situation, just request a gluten free diet, and say it is because you feel better when you don't eat gluten.      Hang in there, though.  Medicare is not that far away for you, and it will remove a lot of stress from your health care concerns.  You will even be able to "come out of the closet" about being Celiac!

      Yes, I've posted a few times about two companies: Request a Test and Ulta Labs. Also, pretty much we can all request any test we want (with the possible exception of the N protein Covid test and I'm sure a couple of others) with Lab Corp (or Pixel by Lab Corp) and Quest. I much prefer Lab Corp for their professionalism, ease of service and having it together administratively, at least in DC. And just so you know, Request a Test uses Lab Corp and Quest anyway, while Ulta Labs uses only Quest. Ulta Labs is cheaper than Request a Test, but I am tired of dealing with Quest, so I don't use them so much.

      PS - I think you meant this site, but I don't believe it has been updated in years: http://glutenfreedrugs.com/ so it is best to use: You can search this site for prescriptions medications, but will need to know the manufacturer/maker if there is more than one, especially if you use a generic version of the medication: To see the ingredients you will need to click on the correct version of the medication and maker in the results, then scroll down to "Ingredients and Appearance" and click it, and then look at "Inactive Ingredients," as any gluten ingredients would likely appear there, rather than in the Active Ingredients area. https://dailymed.nlm.nih.gov/dailymed/
