need help (very detailed)

[Guest guest]

Ok, so I turned 40 a couple weeks ago and have been falling apart ever since.

Here's the story (thank you in advance for reading). Might be TMI for some!

Through an exam, several internal and external ultrasounds and a cat scan, I was

diagnosed as having a dermoid (cyst/tumor) the size of a ping pong ball near my

left ovary about 3 weeks ago. It beng removed some time in November. Dr. says

these are rarely malignant (i'd prefer 'never') but needs to be taken out. Fine.

Needless to say, it's been a harrowing time.

I've never been so freaked out in my life, crying all the time, worrying, not

eating: I lost 4 pounds in as many days. For a few days I was drinking only

coffee (yes, I know, I've since stopped), kombucha and eating yogurt. Once I got

a handle on my emotions I've been eating more normal.

So now I'm having bowel issues and am having a sigmoidoscopy and barium enema on

Friday. These bowel symptoms didn't start happening until the whole dermoid

thing and I started to worry day and night.

My symptoms are:

1. very irritated colon, especially near the dermoid, especially when I pass gas

or have a bowel movement.I actually wake up when I have to pass gas, it's that

uncomfortable. I feel like it's pressing against whatever is exiting my

body.Then everything just feels irritated for a few minutes afterwards.

2. Only 1 bowel movement a day but the last week or so they've been considerably

more yellow

3. Off and on pain to the left (my left) of my belly button. Comes and goes.

Sometimes feels like a heavy feeling, then pain, then sometimes gone.

4. Sometimes pain in my lower back, mostly left side when everything else is

already hurting.

There's more but those are the basics. My blood tests came out fine, metobolic

panel and 'hemocrit' or something like that. My doctor listened to my bowel

sounds and said it sounds like there's a war going on in there

My question is.... what is the best thing I can be doing for my body in general

right now?

I take 1/2 to a whole Bio-K probiotic drink a day,

1/2 teaspoon high vitamin clo a day

acerola tablets

raw milk

cocnut oil

I eat basically NT but have slipped here and there with my b-day and then with

stress.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Danae
