    Now for my update As everyone might have gathered from my posts, I haven't been doing too well in the past few days. I've been getting more and more tired which has triggered my depression. I have spent a lot of time the past few days crying So I'd really had enough of being on such a strict diet today and ate a jacket potato Well, within an hour...

    I second the yikes! Hope you're feeling better really soon.

    Te he Rachel! The question was, will the baths get the toxins out of my body or could they end up redistributing them? I need help getting them out. Mind you, had a bad day today, so set back quite a lot. Will post about that separately. Good to read about your dr appointment. Susie x

    That's a good link about baths, thanks. I'm going to ask a silly question now Is the bath part of the detox process or is it designed to get rid of the toxins released by the detox? What I'm concerned about is redistributing the toxins. I feel pretty toxic at the moment and want to dump the toxins rather than send them back! Would baths and brushing help...

    Carla , good to hear you're making progress. Can't wait to hear about the lame person but more importantly, about the kitchen counters and floor Susie x

    Hi Donna Sorry to hear you're still having sleep problems. It's really hard keeping going when you're tired. On the EFAs, have you tried cracked linseeds? They are also good from a fibre point of view. Well, my allergy to whatever it is in tablets/ supplements (which I think is magnesium stearate) is getting worse. I had paracetamol (like tylenol...

    Hi all! This is just a quick post as I'm really busy at the mo. Good to see Donna and Patti mftnchn - you mentioned a couple of pages back that you use charcoal. When do you take it in relation to everything else? Am I right in thinking you need to leave space between that and other supplements as it'll just take them out of the body? How long...

    Happy Birthday Andrea! I think we are starting to get to the bottom of my hair results! It looks like my zinc and magnesium levels were only in the OK range because there's zinc and magnesium in my shampoo. Not so sure why the iron is OK, but I have read that zinc deficiency can cause iron deficiency anemia, so maybe that's an explanation. Anyway...

    Jin, you must be mad wanting to be a lawyer! I am one, I should know I have been trying to draft some complicated wills this morning and my brain is fogged up today (herxing I hope as I haven't cheated!) and I just can't get my head round it all. Well done on passing your exam Thanks for the info about adrenals. I got my hair analysis results...

    Another quick question! I have always eaten a lot of garlic and still am on the anti-candida diet. Even though I've always eaten it, could it still be killing off the candida? I think I need to be gentle to my body for a while and that means avoiding a major herx, so I was wondering if I should perhaps leave off the garlic for a while?

    Kassandra, that's great news looking forward to seeing how you go on this new regime. For those suffering from adrenal burnout, what's the best way of dealing with that? I'm sure my adrenals are stressed out. I'm feeling stressed almost all the time now and for no particular regime - just like I can't cope with anything without feeling stressed. ...

    Hi Kassandra That's great about your new doctor Can't wait to hear about the appointment. Jin, that's great about your family (well, not great that they might have celiac disease but great they're getting out of that denial place). Me and my sister, who also has it, are convinced my dad has it. He had one negative blood test and is convinced that...

    If you are intolerant to them rather than actually allergic, you might try experimenting with cooking them. I'm definitely worse with raw onions. Onions that have been well cooked eg in the slow cooker, I am better with. It might be worth a try before you abandon them altogether!

    Thanks for the encouragement everyone! This is just going to be a quick post as I'm off to pick DS up from school in a minute. I've got back on with the diet today - although saying that have only just eaten my lunch (it's 3pm here ) as work was a nightmare this morning and I've been to the hospital for my appointment at the recurrent miscarriage clinic...

    I'm afraid I've fallen off the wagon biiig time It's been a bad w/e for various reasons and when DH came in this afternoon having been out to buy me just eggs but having bought gluten-free toffee puddings, that was the end of my tether...I ate a toffee pudding, started getting gassy, ate some doritos then a gluten-free curry All gluten-free but very...

    Hello everyone! Donna, it's good to see you back. Congrats on such a great deal! Jin, DS does look very cute in his uniform. I've got to load my camera software onto this new computer before I can post a piccie of him. He's loving school. The first year of formal schooling in the UK is called reception. He was in nursery last year which I guess...

    Hi Kassandra I hope you're feeling a bit better today. Come on here for encouragement- it's what's getting me through, otherwise I wouldn't stick with it. Does the oregano oil help with sleep? I could really do with some help with sleep right now! I feel really rubbish today coz I did too much cycling yesterday It was good I had the energy...

    Hello all Thanks so much for all the helpful info, Tom and Carla I've printed the diet sheets off whole approach. It's very complicated! I did notice tho Jin that they reckon red peppers are fine and raw carrots. Sadly I'm intolerant to both, so don't need to worry if I can or can't eat them on this diet! My question still remains tho, how...

    Hi Carla What does the oregano oil do? Should I be on the anit-candia diet for a while before trying it so that I don't herx too much? Hi Tom What anti-fungals and supplements did you use to defeat the candida? How long did you have to use them? Everyone - proud mummy alert DS started school today. He's so cute in his school uniform...

    Hi everyone Well it looks like I killed another computer.... After my July miscarriage, I was on iron, but had to stop as I was getting really bad hives (this is a brand that I've taken before and been fine). Then I took other supplements that I've been fine with beofre and more hives. They are all free of the things I'm not eating right now. Anyway...

    Yikes! Definitely couldn't afford that. I'll have to tell DH to hurry up and get rich lol Maybe I'll look into all the other issues first and then see if I'm any better... Thanks Carla

    Hi Carla I have about 20 symptoms on the list. I'm definitely not right just being gluten-free and am trying to find a practioner who can help me get to the bottom of all this. I don't remember being bitten by a tick, but we did grow up in tick country and my sister was bitten so I guess there's a fair chance I was too. Only problem, I live in the...

    I just reread over posts and hit the quote button so I could respond to the points I wanted to and it hasn't worked, so sorry if I get muddled as to who said what! Donna, you've won! I had peanut butter! But peanuts are not really nuts right?! I didn't realise it wasn't allowed on the anti-candida diet and that it can be really moldy. So thanks for...

    Hi Kassandra I really feel for you as bad reflux is truly horrible. And there are so many different things that can cause it. I guess your dr has probably given you the talk about avoiding stress, not smoking, avoiding fatty foods, taking exercise etc Are you also being tested for h pylori, as that's a bug that often causes reflux and ultimately ulcers...
  25. covsooze
    Thanks for that. It's interesting actually because I think dairy and soy are probably 2 of my biggest problems too, despite them not showing high on my ELISA test. Anyways, I've now cut them out, so we'll see what progress I make. Susie x
