Another naturopath appointment for those who care

jenn0021 · May 2012

For those of my fellow bumpies who are following my sickness and were asking for an update, here you go!

So my appointment this morning went well. We discussed how I've been feeling and she is happy with the overall results. She thinks this Sunday's attack (for those who don't know, I was really sick on Sunday and am still feeling gross) was triggered by some food intolerance (probably a combination of things) so we'll keep plugging along and doing what we're doing. She wants to work on bringing the inflammation in my stomach down and focus on my liver and gall bladder. She has me on a couple more supplements and tests and has made some recommendations. She wants me to continue to avoid dairy and I need to focus on eating better. She wants to see more proteins in my diet and I need to drink more water.

So all in all, I'm still feeling optimistic and I will continue on. I really need to sit down and make meal plans and snack plans and figure out how to fit everything in. I've gotten really bad at eating well since my goal right now is to just eat something. She wants me to drink lemon water in the mornings and put castor oil on my tummy in the evenings. So, we'll see. That's about it for an update. Sorry it's jumbled, I'm still trying to digest it all myself.

Wow Jen, it's so amazing that you're working so hard to get well. My DH's aunt is an acupunturist and was trained in Chinese medicine. She has told me that healing yourself naturally is a much longer and more challenging process (and often more expensive), but it is so worth it in the end. When she treats patients it does take a while, but often their ailments are gone for good and they're all around much stronger human beings. I have everything crossed for you that this journey will bring you not only relief, but ultimately excellent health in every way.

I think this is the best news I've heard so far today! As always, you'll be in my T&Ps, especially this week as you're getting over whatever sickness attacked you this weekend.

Glad the appointment went good and you are feeling good about it...

Has she done a food intolerance panel on you?

My mom has an auto-immune disorder and is being treated by a naturopath. They did tons of bloodwork and she had a huge, huge list of intolerances and allergies. I can't remember exactly what he called the test, but I can check with my mom if you're interested.

I'm glad your appointment went well, though. Good luck, and hopefully feel better.

I did have one food intolerance test done, but it wasn't a blood test. She said that she can do that one too but wants to focus on getting my digestion a bit more on track first.

I am glad she thinks things are going well and that she has a plan for you. You should be proud of all your hard work. I hope you start seeing some good results soon.

I'm so glad it went well. Do you like eggs? I have really started increasing my egg intake recently to up my protein. I will mass boil eggs and make deviled eggs, which are easy to store in the fridge and grab and go really quick.

I love devilled eggs! Thanks for the brilliant idea. I was going to boil some eggs but they're even better when they're devilled. Devil
