My only suggestion with improving one's immune system is to (as lame as this sounds) drink tons of water, and don't go anywhere near any refined sugar. I would almost take all fruit sugars out of your diet as well; as I've found the times when my immune system is most supressed is when I'm not watching that sugar thing.... But if it is cellulitis, your...

One of these days I'm going to get my stuff together to write a "diagnosis" thing in my signature. Today is not that day. I was diagnosed by blood test in New Zealand, because its something they recognize as routine there. I'm still having problems with my gut so my GI wants to do a whole barrage of tests - including a biopsy. He isn't making me go...

Hallo, I'm new to this board and to this thread. I've found my greatest issue with trying to lose weight are my cravings for sugar and my level of energy. No matter what I eat, I get tired. I get tired, I crave sugar. I eat sugar, I get a bit of energy, but usually just to digest the food I've just eaten. Repeat. I've been concerned about PCOS in...

I've had a bunch of problems with my neck/ throat area and it has been a combination of: - swollen lymph nodes (either from infection, or body not flushing stuff out enough, so maybe a kidney infection as well) - saliva duct stones (if you have horribly bad breath and feel like something is stuck in there) - a goiter (which can be from too little or too...

I guess one of the things that I've learned with this is that you have to ask to see ingredient labels. I'll often ask and if someone goes , "Uhm, I'm not sure. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have gluten", that's when I know they have no clue. I hated being the one that held up a line, or that caused a scene, but it almost behooves you to get the names of the...

I won't buy anything that is made in a similar facility with wheat or gluten products, and I will go nowhere near anything that has traces of wheat. I am rarely eating any products that are packaged, and my spices in my house are now entirely whole, or bought from places where I know they are gluten-free. I just can't gamble with this anymore. I've spent...

I've found the same thing - I even tried taking more psyllium thinking that the original dose wasn't enough. This was around the time when the new Charlie and the chocolate factory was in theatres, and, minus the blue - I felt like Violet! You know the one that expanded and expanded? So, ya, no good for me. Disappointing, really, because I wanted to find...

I'm not sure the name, its a dairy-free probiotic that has something like 9billion active cells per dose. I found it difficult to find a dairy-free one, so I imagine there aren't that many out there?

I was just diagnosed in October of last year when I was living in New Zealand - luckily they gave me a blood test for IgA when I was there and it was astrong strong positive. I was low in B12 as well. It wasn't a surprise because my mom, sister and neice are all positive. Anyhew, on to the constipation. OVer the past year or so I've had the worst time...
