Hi, I just started Creon after gb removal as I'm still in a lot of pain and can't eat any fat. My GI started me on creon yesterday to help digest fats easier. I started them today and have been...
Can you tell me is you have any other digestive issues from the removal of your gallbladder? I have lack of bile flow and I'm wondering if CBD oil would help me. I've just had gallbladder removal and...
Really that's interesting. What about a stomach biopsy for celiac? I had one done during an endoscopy and it came back negative......
Thanks for sharing your experience. I've been tested for celiac multiple times so I don't think that was the root cause. I don't eat much gluten anyways since it seems to constipate me. I was eating...
Hi, I'm not sure if I can post about gb removal on the IBS forum but didn't know where I else I could ask. I've been dealing with severe digestive issues the past two years and finally after two...
Listen to this podcast. I ordered the book a couple weeks ago. What do you all think? http://www.medicalmedium.com/listen/the-unknown-cause-of-lyme-disease...
The juicing has really boosted my energy levels. I did stop adding cabbage due to the goitregens that can affect your thyroid. I added some parsley and romaine in its place....
I took Jarrow sublingual b12 methylcobalamin this morning for the first time and it made me sleepy! I think it's supposed to boost melatonin levels. I will try it before bed. The plus is that I did...
Hey all, I've been dealing with some stomach issues (gastritis) and have completely revamped my diet and started juicing 3x a day. Although I'm still dealing with stomach pain I have seen SIGNIFICANT...
Hi, I'm new to this forum (usually on the Lyme forum), but was just recently diagnosed w/ gastritis and possible peptic ulcer that is healing. For months, I've been plagued w/ a sharp pain in the...
Ok, thanks for the info cd... I will look into it!...
happyjo- he told me the ONLY way he would treat me is if I came back w/ a CDC positive test...then he would consider IV rocephin. Thanks all for the encouraging words. I wish I could find a great...
I went to the ID doc because an ER doc told me he was great and that he's treated many w/ Lyme....
I don't know of any other LLMD's in TX. I'm running out of options. Right now I am self-treating w/ some Cowden and Buhner herbs. Overall I'm doing better but it would be great to have a...
Well I just had my appt. w/ an ID doc who supposedly was a great Lyme doctor and what a complete waste of time. This is what I was told at the appt: -I don't have Lyme -I might have MS -Have I...
Traveler- thank you for the advice. I will be bringing ILADS guidelines with me and see what he has to say. I know for sure I have Lyme and Babesia (positive Immunoscience test) and am taking herbs...
Thank you for the kind words Janet. :) I hope I can dig myself out of this hole soon....
Yes it makes sense. I am just at a loss for what to do....
I forgot to mention, the infusion center he works through treats the coinfections etc. Here's the website: http://www.experienceinfusioncenters.com...
Thanks girlie- I feel like I'm back at square one. I'm feeling horrible, in pain and feverish. I'm still taking my herbs. I'm not sure what to do. There are no other LLMDs in Houston. If I have a...
I am dealing with some type of severe gastritis and/or ulcer issue and now I'm starting to think my babesia infection could have caused it (Klinghardt): The gastroenterological presentation, where...
Thanks for sharing your personal stories. I've been miserable! I feel like the Prevacid he prescribed is giving me anxiety...there truly is a "gut-mind" connection. I'm going to try some natural...
Hi all, It's been an extremely rough week and I'm feeling pretty horrible. A couple days ago the severe pain near my left abdomen got so severe I haven't been able to eat much. Finally went to GI doc...
The pain is left upper quadrant and radiates to my back left shoulder. The initial pain came on like an attack and was a sharp, stabbing, pain that was debilitating. It stopped after a half an hour....
Hi all- Two months ago, I thought I had what was spleen pain (due to Babesia), had an ultrasound and everything checked out fine. Recently, the pain is getting worse and now I realize the location is...
I could travel to Louisiana if need be but I have been making some improvements on my herbal protocol. Trying to stay optimistic. Thanks all for the encouragement!!...
Thanks traveler- yes he insists that I only buy from him and that all other supplements are trash. What amazes me is that he completely forgot what we had talked about at our last appt.... which was...
I dropped my LLMD today after he spent five minutes berating me about "cherry picking" things to take to balance my hormones. He said just because I've read something on a forum doesn't mean I'm an...
I'm not sure about the heavy metals, but it's something I will look into if I don't keep making improvements. I had severe chest pain as well and thought I was going to have a heart attack. Wow! It's...
Hi Kyo- My neuropathy started exactly as yours did. My left toe went numb, and then it spread like wild fire. Now it is mostly contained to my left foot, calf and arm/hand. I've had the whole gamut...
Also, is your daughter low in melatonin? I had my melatonin level tested and it was very low. I started taking low dose melatonin early in the evenings, hourly, until bedtime and it has helped reset...
I have adrenal fatigue and low hormone levels. Low dose sublingual pregnenalone has helped some. I am also very sensitive to many things and adaptogenic herbs for adrenal fatigue are way too...
Thanks for the input Tooty! I think I will cautiously start taking the arginine and lysine together and see how it goes!...
Currently I'm taking a modified version of Cowden- two herbs for about two months, 2 day break, and then rotation of herbs. For the past week, I've just introduced two Buhner babesia herbs along w/...
Rereading post about Buhner- and duh, of course that is what he is saying. My poor brain. I think I'll start w/ the whey protein before any supplementation. I'm still on the fence about the arginine....
And now I'm just seeing what you've posted about taking both together. Hmmm.......
CD- I will definetely keep notes on how I do w/ the L-arginine. It looks like L-lysine might be beneficial to take along w/ the L-arginine. I saw something about the ratio of lysine to arginine being...
Interesting thread! So cd- did you decide to take the the l-arginine? I just started yesterday. I'm going to start w/ just 500 mg 2x a day and see how it goes. Buhner does hype it up in his book. Is...
Thanks rowingmom- I'll have to look into it. Thanks for the heads up....
Rowingmom- can you explain why you would omit l-arginine as part of the protocol and it's role w/ viruses? I was just curious because I just started taking it. Buhner states that there are studies...
I also had hormones tested right after my period, and my progesterone was super low. I'm thinking my adrenals are "stealing" progesterone to make cortisol and causing the imbalance/hot flashes....
Yes- I had my cortisol and hormones tested on the 18th day of my cycle through Dutch Labs. This was a summary of results: 1. Estrogen is lower than it should be given your age. 2. Progesterone is...
Hi- I have severe adrenal fatigue and I was wondering what others are doing to help heal their adrenals. Currently I'm taking desiccated adrenal (Standard Process), Vitamin C, B vitamins, and was...
Sebreg- you are not being dramatic when you say you are fighting for your life. I know a lot of us are in survival mode here and we have to lean on each other for support. The truth is no one really...
Thanks Cd- that's a very helpful chart!...
Quick question: I'm also taking Cowden herbs....do you think it's alright that I take cowden and buhner herbs all together?...
Sounds like I need to incorporate it into my protocol. Thanks for the great info Mister Mike!...
Hi- has anyone used Hawthorne and had positive results? I know Buhner recommends it for Bart, and I am assuming I have it along w/ babs and lyme. Currently, I'm having chest pain that comes and goes...
Since the beginning of all my Lyme symptoms, my left foot and calf have always given me problems. I have a toe that goes numb off and on, nerve pain, and what feels like circulation issues. I also...
Ok- just ordered Dan-shen and should get it soon. I'm interested to see if it does alleviate the spleen pain I've been having. I also have periodic lower back pain as well. Thanks for the input...
