Just Wanted To Tell You A Bit About Myself


Sambucca

Hi Everyone, I'm new to the forums and thought I would post an introduction so you all know what I'm doing here :)

 

I'm a 29 year old wife, and mom to an almost 2 year old. I've had GI problems (D) ever since I was 12 years old. It has been an ongoing problem, I've suffered with bouts of D off and on since then. I've also had problems with dairy.

 

Then about 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. It was pretty bad for the first 2 years but then seemed to get a little better, so I went on to have a baby. This past December it came back with a vengence. The vertigo was so bad I could not care for my son by myself.

 

After consulting with a Naturopathic Dr. I decided to cut out gluten completely and start a nutritional supplement protocol. He believed my health issues to be directly related to multi mineral deficiencies. He also believe's that gluten is bad for everyone, not just Celiac's. So, my entire household has become gluten free and we are also taking nutritional supplements.

 

I am having a very tough go at it, as I cannot seem to absorb the vitamins and minerals, even in small doses. Upon further research of my ongoing symptoms I have self diagnosed myself with some sort of gluten intolerance. I believe it will take me a while to heal the damage that has been done. I came here looking for support, and to learn as much as I can about how I can help my body heal naturally.

 

Thanks for reading :) Look forward to getting to know you all.

      Thank you. I already cut out dairy and eggs because I found out I was having a problem with them. To be honest I’m just getting worn out 😂

      Hi Kitty, thank you for your e mail,  I have seen a nutritionist who seemed to be happy with the food diary I had been keeping and nothing was mentioned about extra vitamins, and I’m still using milk etc . The steroids seem to be working and everything is functioning as it should however,  the course of tablets finish at the end of February and I have an appointment with the consultant early April probably followed by another endoscopy, as far as I’m aware I have not been tested for vitamin B and will definitely discuss it with the doctor on my next visit.

      It might be understandable to say "friends or family weeded me or you out of their lives". Some people are fearful of getting out of their comfortable known lives and having to make changes to accommodate another.   If they are too uncomfortable to walk a mile with me, I shake the dust off my feet and journey on.  They're just not ready to learn that lesson.  But you confidently keep going on your journey.  They can catch up later.

      You might also be sensitive to other things while you are healing. Dairy, for example. It won't harm you from a celiac standpoint but is inflammatory and could be bothering you. Have you been keeping a food & symptom journal? Might be worth it for a week to see if you notice something you are eating prior to the times you feel your worst. I hope you start feeling better soon.

      Someone recently recommended Superfoods for looking up recipes free of allergens or intolerances.  It's a web site but there's also an app.
