Re: RE: I see my consultant tomorrow

Wow, Joanne... This is all huge, eh?

You are obviously way ahead of me on the learning curve!

But I have a question or two for you.

You stated:

>>I have written a letter to them telling them I am on Dr Ebringers diet <<

Is this something different from Bee's program and are you following both?

Have you approached Bee with your questions, IF you are following her pgm?

[Who, as far as she knows, only has Candidiasis]

I think what Joanne meant was the DOCTORS made up the term to encapsule many

symptoms...

Most definitely. I went to some counseling a few years ago and the pgm she

wanted to take me thru started with infancy... I couldn't afford to pay her

$175/mo to go back that far, tho, LOL...

>>Wished I had done better in School now, <<

I am so blessed to be home schooling my last two children and I so want to

make the best choices in their education so we have a 'wellness' session

each day where we Unlearn what " society " is telling us via TV, advertising,

packaging, etc...

Hi Joanne,

I understand what you're going through with the IBS. I started having that when

I was 23 yrs old. Now I'm 5 months away from becoming 68 years old and the

Doctors have done nothing about it. I don't think they know what to do

actually. So after being on the awful Codalgin Forte tablets I switched to

Aspirins about 4 or 5 years ago. These really help me and I only need one a

day. And I don't have to go to a Doctor to get the aspirins and there are no

bad effects. I know the haemmoroids I have are to do with the IBS and a Doctor

offered to help me by removing them. Unfortunately I forgot the appointment and

he'd waited all day at the hospital in the next town 10 miles away. I felt

awful but I didn't know what to do after. I've had the fibro since I was

married and it started when I turned 23. I'd love to know why I got that.

Still I'm managing to cope. I know a few other women with the same problem

fibro and the symptoms. One lives in America and there are several here in my

small home town. We all feel close because of the FMS. I'm so glad I got off

the bad tablets that had been given me by the Dr I was going to. Aspirin is the

easiest to take. Also I eat lots of fruits and vegetables and have gone off

gluten products. I get gluten free bread which is nice but more expensive but I

only eat a couple of slices a day. Also I get corn Cruskits which are also

gluten free. I love bananas too and they're good for us. Apples, strawberries,

apricots. I grow them here in my back yard.. oh and also a grape vine. I also

grow herbs like sage, parsley, aloe vera, garlic chives, rosemary etc. Used to

have a fig tree as well but that died in the hot weather. Also a plum tree and

lemon and orange tree. They're still going well. Almond trees too at the back

of my yard. I haven't grown vegetables for a long time. I have some tomatoes

down the back too but must plant some more in spring. I love vegetables and

they help us stay healthy.

All the best to you!

Re: RE: I see my consultant tomorrow

Hi Joanne:

I do know what you are talking about. I have recently been reading about

this sort of thing in the gut. I have the same symptoms as you and been

diagnosed with IBS. Irritable bowel syndrome. Either you can¹t go or you

go too much. They don¹t know why. But certain foods really do aggravate

it. Cheese, milk, wheat etc.

Lazarides talks about this on her website. She is british and has

several books on nutrition that describe exactly what you are talking about.

I bet you can get them in the library over there for free. Several of them

are years old.

Anyhow, take heart. They will probably not diagnose you with anything and

that is a good thing. That means you are disease free. You are not pain

free, you are just disease free. That means that you are not in any

imminent danger. But you are living in pain and that¹s the truth.

I gave up looking for diagnosis years ago. Fibro says it all. And stress

can cause all of these pains. We also stress over over our pain so how is

that for circular? Yuk. LOL . Laugh or cry it doesn¹t change it.

Christ died and was crucified and ridiculed and we suffer some of his pain

on a daily basis as well. Nobody escapes this tortuous existence. We all

need to take his attitude. We are not here for worldly purposes, we are

here to correct our own self, and hopefully help others in the process so

that our soul is in alighnment with God.

Our wordly cares can become bigger than our love of God. I believe that¹s

what we need to remember.

I hope I am not preaching here but recently I have been reading about

Catherien of Siena and she had the right message. Very inspiring.

Let us know what they say Joanne when you go for your results today.

Love to you and yours
