Low Stomach Acid?

I can't remember...have you addressed the possibility of having leaky gut? From what I've read about how that affects us, it sounds like your body may be reacting to it, which is caused by Candida causing contents to seep out of our digestive system and cause our body to react to it.

Bloating is usually candida. Ever try the home saliva in water candida test? Some truth to it. Wont work if you have a cold - ecces mucas ect.

Astro - I know I can do a search....but since you're posting here about D-limonene - I will ask you:


Should I start with one every other day? or does it need to be every day?

I don't have a really bad problem...only at times I get some phlegm...or a bitter taste in my mouth.
So, I do want to try it.

dbwilco-

No gall bladder? Well that makes you special then. You might want to do some heavy goggling on that and what supplements help- If you have not done that already. I knew someone years ago who had it removed- Docs said "dont worry, you'll be fine". He found out later certain digestive supplements helped his new "digestive issue". I dont remember which ones specifically.

Is that how they still do it - yank out your GB without telling you what to take now that its gone?

I did use the licorice dgl and a multi digestive enzyme (had hcl in it too) a few months too now that I remember. Part of what healed the leaky gut. I use to get super tired after eating, (head snapping -falling over tired!) was not blood sugar, think it was what leaky gut does to you. Nothing like that after food today.

Even though the gerd got way better in a month from the d-limonene, the ability to digest correctly and comfortably prob took 6-8 months up to a year. Maybe the DL was killing lyme in my gut too, who knows.

RED MEAT was real hard to digest. I only ate fish and skinless grilled chicken for meat then. I still do NOT buy pork and only have beef on occasion.

The whole digestive thing was really rough and was the same time frame I woke to blindness (was dark)- so I though death was near for sure. Nope. No pearly gates, so guess I wasnt close.

Girlie - I think every other day is more than enough for starters - with no major gerd. Maybe even less than that. You have a couple orange burps maybe in the forst 10 min- thats it - happens more if your moving around. So I took when relaxing before bed.

dbwilco-

l-glutamine, its supposed too. Its one of those suppliments you can feel though. Cal-Mag- Buterate is for leaky gut too, I took that as well.

If you do have leaky gut, red meat protiens and glutan should be avioded as they both can cause havock when leaking out into the body. That can start up autoimmune or add to current AI issues too.

Do you get lethargic after eating? (but have tested blood sugar and know its not that?)

I bought many of those cheap glucose meters. My glucose was not crazy eratic, but the overal AC1 was near diabetic when my adrenals were toast - as there is a direct relation. Dr Lam mentions this. His writings are good if you can cut through the needless marketing "filler BS".

My adrenals are better (still in progress) and so is my blood sugar AC1. So much for western medicine not knowing this.

dbwilco have you tried to take Betaine HCl supplement?

astro- is being real tired after eating leaky gut? had a lunch of cauliflower, brown rice ( a cup), chicken and olive oil and couldve fallen asleep

"glucose. It can appear normal but you can still be suffering from hypoglycemia."

..........hu?

Taking multiple glucose readings right after a meal or the whole day for that matter (we have 10 digits)will give you a good idea of what your sugar does.

I did spectrocell. I dont remember anything special on it for glucose.....? Other than it being inner cell.

But hyoglycimias is a short term temp (few hours most). How will that show on spectrocell? - Unless one has FULL BLOWN hypoglycimia...........that would be very bad.

I also sugar supplimented after meals as a test for this - did nothing for my lethargy.

I take less stress for my addrenals. Sea salt, holy basil and taurine as needed or as estimated for that day at work.

Your chromium value is related to glucose. And trust me I didn't believe it, but I found it to be true. I increased my chromium intake at the insistance of the doctor and after a month or so my hypoglycemic episodes were gone. Mind you whenever I tested with the home glucose monitor it seemed as though my values were fine.

Anyway there were 2 doctors that explained this to me and I don't remember everything that was said but basically your glucose can appear normal, but there are other values that really tell how your liver is processing glucose especially overnight when it is needed most.

Long story short, I've implemented chromium again. Incidentally, many people are lacking in chromium.
