Re: adrenal functioning

[Guest guest]

I highly recommed reading Dr. 's book, Adrenal Fatigue.

This book is very informative and helps those with stressed adrenals. I

swear by it because it helped me alot(I had chronic fatigue and low blood

sugar).

This is actually from someone else's post that Andy had answered.

hypoglycemic.

Which means inadequate adrenal function. Which means she will

guaranteed get yeast at the drop of a hat, be hyperactive, generally

emotionally very bouncy, disturbed, etc.

This sounds like my daughter - what does one do for this, I've never had any

testing about being hypoglocemic, but she does get yeast at the drop of a

hat,

hyperactive, bouncy as all out doors!!! What are some other signs I should

look

for. I realize alot of different things can happen for alot of different

reasons. She mostly gets like this when she has alot of yeast or has an

intolerance to a new supplement. I was just wondering if you could elaborate

or

give me some other info that I could decide if I should look further into

this.

Hi Teewinot. Firstly, good for you for ignoring the arguing.

Secondly, I don't know where to find the study, but a couple of years

ago some researchers did ultrasound tests of adrenal glands of

patients with CDC defined CFS. They found the adrenal glands to

be on average *50%* the size of normal adrenal glands. So there is

an HPA axis problem. Why or how it occurs is the mystery.

It didn't say in the piece I read what stage the subjects were. Thanks

for this info.
