Valerie - I'm so sorry to hear about your loss (((hugs))).

Al - Sorry to hear about your PN. Yeah, dairy is hard to give up. At least I can have ghee and some of the fake cheeses with casein. Hardly a replacement for the real stuff, but when you're desparate, it works.

Grace - Way to stay positive! You've made a lot of progress. Hopefully your current healing crisis will be short.

Kim - I'm glad to hear that your son is doing better!

I feel like I'm just starting to get my energy back. Perhaps the giving up of soy, nuts, and seeds made a difference in my digestion, but it took about 6-8 weeks. I rarely have diarrhea now, but things still aren't perfect. I think I sometimes get a reaction to my probiotic, or maybe it's just that the probiotics are killing off other critters I have.

I have also gained my weight back. I liked looking like an anorexic model, but I had no energy and didn't feel all that great. Isn't that twisted? Anyways, I'm still working on the root of the multiple food intolerances. Hopefully, I'll have more to report next month. I'm amazed at how many of us have multiple food sensitivities. Is it all from the gluten damage, or something else?

OK - I laughed my head off at your anorexic model comment. I was an anorexic model for several years. Looked great in a bathing suit but couldn't carry on a conversation...haha...I am past that now.
