Delurking with Female Health Questions

[Guest guest]

Hallo all,

I have been a lurker for quite some time and really enjoy this very informative

list. The more I read, the more I realize how badly I need to rethink my eating

habits. Figuring that the New Year is as classic as it comes for new

resolutions, 2007 should see me trying to better implement NT nutrition.

But what is it they say about the best laid plans??... 10 months ago, I was

found to have a smallish fibroid. Over the last 6 months my cycles kept getting

longer and heavier until 10 days ago I had to go in for a D & C. I will spare you

the yuckier details, but let’s just say that I am now severely anaemic, my

hormonal levels are out of whack, and I am constipated to boot. This is neither

a good nor comfortable combination! My doctor has put me on iron supplements,

and yam extract and vitex agnus-castus (Chaste tree berries) to stabilize the

hormonal levels. I am going to my homeopath today for additional suggestions on

dealing with the fibroid. He said he might also have something for my

constipation issues and nothing could make me happier at the moment. Since the

D & C I have been getting more bloated by the day. If I press a finger into my

lower leg, it leaves a dimple.

Any suggestions of what I could do on the nutrition front?

Gratefully,

ne
