TTC After a Loss

Successful Naturopath Appointment

My appointment went great! She was super nice and not at all weird and she spent the first hour just talking about my symptoms and how I felt and stuff. It's like she actually cares! Then she did some tests and it showed that something is definitely off in my body and she gave me some supplements. I have fish oil capsules, a probiotic pill, and something else that I forget the name of. She's pretty certain that once we get the inflammation in my stomach down and work on getting my digestion figured out, things will start to look up. She also wants me to start avoiding dairy. Not excessively yet, like I don't have to search out ingredients and such, but she doesn't want me drinking milk or eating cheese, yogurt, or ice cream. I have another appointment on May 16th to go over my full assessment. But overall, it was good and I'm feeling positive.

That's just a quick summary since there was a lot of info in a short period of time and I can't remember everything but I am feeling so much better about all this. Like maybe I can actually be feeling better by the summer! She's says I'm young and the body wants heal itself. Keep your FX that my body cooperates!

  • I am so glad to see that you felt like she cared, because sometimes that is half the battle! Here's hoping that the few things she has you on/changing already will lead to some immediate improvements.

    I know this has been an unimaginably trying time for you, so it is great to see such a positive post about it all. And the fact you're already feeling better about it all makes me really happy. All my best to you!

    We lost our first (EDD 07/23/12) after finding out at 12 weeks there was no longer a heartbeat. Our rainbow was born 05/22/13 and was worth all we went through.

  • So glad everything went well and they are working on a plan for you. I love going to see my Naturopath physician. He is amazing. I've been going there almost 3 months now and I feel so much better than when I started there.

    Hope you see some great results in the coming months and hopefully be feeling better soon. ((hugs))

  • Oh that is wonderful news!!  I'm so glad she listened and that you're feeling some hope!  I feel hopeful for you.  I know dairy can definitely be inflammatory so that doesn't surprise me that you're cutting it out.  I hope with all those things combined that you'll be feeling back to yourself soon!!
