A few thoughts from a lurker...

July 25, 2006

Hi all-

Thanks for the direction to the egg drink recipe. Found it!'

Also, I've been lurking for a while. I think I'm about ready to hit the

diet as well. Just thought I'd hop in and introduce myself and my situation.

I'm , from Columbus Ohio.

I have diarrhea regularly; it can hit really fast sometimes; often on

weekend mornings when I go out for breakfast. I'm overweight, though I

exercise regularly, but I eat plenty of sweets and starches. I have

rosacea, and was just diagnosed with chronic daily headache. That last is

just what it says, I have a headache every day. I'm on Elavil for

that. Also some mildly high blood pressure, so I'm on meds for that

too. And I'm on antibiotics for the rosacea, spent several years on the

birth control pill/patch--am off that now though.

I got Epstein-Barr/mono about 5 years ago, and that has left me with bouts

of fatigue/brain fog, etc. That EBV really did a number on me for a couple

years. And I get stomach flu's-I never got these as a youngster,

never. I'll be 38 in less than 2 weeks; though most folks wouldn't think

that's my age, I do look younger.

I did Atkins about 3 years ago, and lost 70 pounds. But that was tough for

me to really sustain long-term, and I've gained a fair amount of that

weight back.

I got a couple books on Candida a few years back, and printed off several

things from the groups site. Is there anything new, published

recently that anyone suggests? I tend to love to get my hands on books, so

such suggestions are fine. Or if there is one particular piece of advice

someone out there would want to pass on to a newbie? That'd be great.

Thanks all.

Boy, I know this diet thing will be tough for me...
