Very uncomfortable and in need of help - Warning TMI post

[Guest guest]

Hello everyone. This will be a very embarrassing post but I need

help.

I have been a member of this group for some time but, sadly, have

been in denial about the changes that I need to make in order to be

healthy. Well, my body will not let me get away with it any longer

so I've been transitioning onto the program for 13 days now. I am

nursing a 6 month of infant so I am trying to keep the die-off/toxin

release/weight loss to a minimum for my daughter's sake. Anyway, so

far I am completely grain free and eating lots of protein and

vegetables. I have yet to go off of fruit and nuts completely though

I have decreased their intake as well. I have been using honey and

vanilla in 24-hour yogurt that I make (transitioning to this diet

from the SCD).

Anyway, the background is that I came back to this diet because for

the last 5 months I have had cracked/sometimes bleeding fingertips on

my right hand. Nothing I have done (all have been natural remedies)

has made the problem any better. Dressing and diapering my daughter

every day is excruciating. I also have a red, bumpy and itchy rash

all over my forearms. To the touch it feels like my skin was dipped

in cornstarch. On top of that I have severe labial itching with

redness, redness at the vaginal opening and an area about 6 inches in

circumference that extends from my anus with pretty severe rectal

itching as well. The first 4 inches of this area look like a very

bad sunburn and feels the same. At times there is a clear liquid

that oozes from the skin (not pus or like infection). The outer edge

is composed of very thick skin that flakes up and can be peeled off.

It is very painful to sit, to wipe after BMs and, again, nothing I

have done to this point is making the situation better. The only way

I get relief is by soaking in an Epsom salt bath with tea tree oil

and even that only lasts several hours. I have also done 2 douches

with garlic tea and at night inserted probiotics. I have done one

clear water enema. No relief.

My question is, I know that I need to be on this program. I know

that in time my issues will resolve if I follow the program and I

look forward to that. I have read on the enemas and douches but they

say to wait until you have started taking anti-fungals. In the

meantime, I am having a hard time functioning and wonder if there is

anything I can do to decrease these severe symptoms. Please help. I

am miserable and feeling desperate.

Thank you so, so much for any help that you can provide. I don't

know what I would be doing now if it wasn't for this group. Thank

you Bee.
