Just wanted to throw another POV out there. I don't like the idea of using meds

for symptoms because symptoms are my indicator of what's going on with my body.

Now, I've been fortunate that my symptoms (when I eat something I react to) are

fairly minor - tingling or numbness in hands and feet, vertigo, fatigue & brain

fog, bad handwriting, etc. - so it's easier for me to say that than someone who

has more severe symptoms. If I couldn't get things under control holistically

and had a symptom that was affecting my quality of life, I may consider meds.

But that would definitely be last resort.

However, I was wondering what are people's opinions about taking prescription

meds to control symptoms.
