Guest guest Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 Hi there, Sorry I did not catch your name. Your symptoms sound very familiar to me. I have always been an obsessively " healthy " eater...and I have always been over weight and always struggled to loose/kept it under control. 6 years ago I was diagnosed with Coeliac disease and had to remove all gluten from my diet, as you have had to do. My symptoms, bloating, pain, frequent trips to the bathroom, dnever improved, though the villi in my small intestine did heal. But that improvement took over 6 months. So firstly I would say to you that if you have only just gone gluten free you can not yet expect a result, if it damaged your villi you will need a minimum of 6 months to heal. Having said that, I never improved until I went on this diet. It seems, from the TON of reading I have done, and from the wonderful knowledge of Bee, that if you have a gluten allergy (coleiac disease) then you will certainly have a candida problem. There is a whole realm of medical research out there that links gluten intolerance and candida, which comes first and what causes what is up for debate, but generally if there is one the other will also be present. What I would say is try this diet...I believe if you have a gluten issue, you will also have a candida issue. Once I got on to this diet in full, it took me a week to have a flat tummy...FLAT! For the first time in my 24 years of life (I can remember learning to do sit ups at 4 to strengthen my " weak muscles " ha!). Give it a go, its tough, but this groups is a wealth of support. Once you break through to some results, it will be easy...coz you will feel so much better more often. Be prepared for hte bad times though, and they will come...but dont give up...sign up here and leave a message. You will get through. Best of luck!

I had them too when I cured my candida over 20 years ago. There are many more things you need to understand about the correct diet, which is not just gluten- free. Everyone with candida is gluten intolerant. Please read the articles on candida as noted above so you understand, and get back to us with any questions.

Guest guest Posted August 18, 2007 Report Share Posted August 18, 2007 Hi Bee, My name is and I am 25 years old. I have pretty much had it with my Dr. visits and nothing ever gets accomplished. Usually I walk out of the office with a prescription in my hand (which ends up never working). My age throws Dr's off because I am too young to have problems in the Dr. eyes. I know I am not dying, but obviously something is wrong. I have been battling this feeling for over 5 years now and it has gotten to the point where I never make plans, never go out and have fun because I never know how I am going to feel the next day. I follow a very healthy guideline, but by reading more and more on this site, I see that " healthy " foods do not always equal feeling healthy. I am constantly battling the ADD feeling (even though I am not ADD), I have no motivation and I can turn moods within 5 min's. Most of the time, my mood is directly involved to the way my body looks and feels. My abdominal area gets so bloated during the day that I feel like I am pregnant. Cutting out the gluten has actually helped in relieving this, but still, I don't feel like that is completely it. I have a problem with this dry flaky skin around my eyes and on my eyelid, sometimes my cheek, and dandruff and dry skin is a major problem. I cannot seem to figure out how to get rid of it. After I eat, I always feel like the day goes downhill. Most of the time, my body swells up throughout the day, to the point where my rings don't even fit anymore, my pants are tighter, and all I want to do it hide and lay down. I cannot lose any weight no matter what I do. I feel like self-image issues are becoming severe. I don't really have energy to go out and run 10 miles, but I try to exercise and stay fit. I have a small build, so extra weight is noticeable. After I eat an apple, I can just feel my body swell. After joining this site though, I have cut out all fruit. My gastro is onto the celiac, my rheum. Doesn't know what is going on and thinks that the livedo reticularus on my legs and arms is what is happening internally, and my gyno assures me that I am fine (even though I have not gotten my period in 2 ½ years). She told me the only things that came up were that I have low body density and my body temp is off. She gave me a prescription for provera and sent me on my way. Trusting her, I kinda let it slip off my radar. I took the provera, but it didn't work. I need to go back to her and get that straightened out. I don't know why I wouldn't get my period… Now, I feel like I have to be proactive and figure this out on my own. I can't talk to people my age about it because they don't understand the feeling. My family is very open, but still, they don't get the way I feel. After talking to someone that has Celiac, they brought up Candida. I did the saliva test and it did just what it said—since you wrote back I took the Yeast Health Quiz and my score was 290. I think I took it right. I really don't know what to do. I am just sick, literally, over all of this. Just trying to understand what could be going on, so I can get rid of it. Thanks for this site. Any advice? How can i get officially tested? I am reading up on the literature under the files and trying to educate myself on the best foods to eat. I see that oil and butter are ok. And, I see the foods I can not eat, but just not that confident on the foods i CAN eat. I try to stay clear of oils and butter--since i already feel like i gain weight by eating an apple, let alone real butter. Just feeling confused....Sorry this post is SO long. Thanks, > > > > Hi Everyone: I'm new to the group and defintly need advise. > > ==>Hi there. Welcome to our group.

Guest guest Posted August 21, 2007 Report Share Posted August 21, 2007 Dear , I'm sure you will get many other replies encouraging you to thoroughly read the information here and gradually get on Bee's plan. I believe that this will make all the difference in the world for you. I just want to reassure you, that what you are experiencing is not that uncommon. Obviously you have already been listening to your body, and not doctors, so you're on the right track! I just turned 25, and after being on Bee's diet and plan strictly for 7 months I feel healthy in nearly every way. However, I felt the kind of symptoms you are talking about for at least the past 7 years, maybe even longer. There have been others on this list that are even younger, also. I know how hard and scary it is do go out on a limb and do your own thing, especially with doctors and all kinds of literature telling you a conflicting version of what " good nutrition is " . but just give this stuff a chance and it will be worth it. I promise you you can get healthy again, and definitely lose weight too. Good luck, and feel free to email me anytime for support! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Hi Tara, You have come to the right place! Skin problems (like acne and rashes) and dizziness are both symptoms of candida. I would recommend that you read Bee's getting started article in the files. Bee's approach to candida is really unique. Its not just about taking antifungals like garlic, its about healing your body and strengthening your immune system so that you body can keep candida from every becoming a problem again. So read the files and see what you think. And if you have any questions you can always search the old post for information, or make a new post yourself. Welcome to the group!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2008 Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 Welcome Ali,You're in the right place . . . If you'll read through the old messages, and the archives, you'll soon see you're not alone.And, you're probably right. Most medications just mask symptoms. The only way to know for sure if it's your implants is to have them removed. . . . There is no test.The ladies here can help you sort things out . . . The good news is that you can get your life back!Hugs and prayers,Rogene Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Hi Ali, You are right when you say you feel you are covering the poison with more poison. Drugs do not have a positive track record for HEALING, only covering symptoms. True healing happens when your body goes back to a state of health without drugs. I had dozens of strange and weird symptoms going on with my saline implants. I also went to a rheumatologist, but I did have an elevated rheumatoid factor, though no diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis though. None of the people in my family history ever had rheumatoid arthritis. I've had my implants out now for over 10 years. I have healed completely. I live a totally normal life now, and I did it by firing the doctors that kept telling me it wasn't my implants and promising to help but delivering empty promises. I went with natural and alternative medicine. I let the results speak for themselves. I remained totally drug free for my entire healing process. I never took anything that would create a burden on my liver and cover up symptoms. I wanted the symptoms to go away completely at the ROOT Cause! First things first...you need to get your implants out if you want to get better. And they need to be taken out correctly, which means en bloc removal or a total capsulectomy. Nothing less. Complete capsule removal will be a necessity. We have a list of doctors that know how to perform this surgery, so check it over and see if anyone is near you. Most women end up having to travel to find a good doctor. Question any doctor you use carefully about their explant procedure so you KNOW they are going to do a total capsulectomy or en bloc! That list can be found in our files section under " Explant Info " . You can get better, but you will have to think outside the box. I basically had to turn my back on modern medicine and go with what's worked for centuries to bring the body back to health, in the form of various detoxing methods. (Fasting and enemas, plus addressing hormonal issues with natural bio-identical hormones.) I hope this helps you! Keep us posted on your progress and don't be afraid to ask questions. We are here for you. Patty > > Hi, I am new and I have all these strange symptoms going on. Does anyone know how I > could get tested for silicone poisoning?

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Ali- Just wanted to say a quick " welcome " to our group. Like Rogene said there is no way to test for silicone poisoning, but the odds that your implants are causing your problems are pretty high. I was in your shoes just 6 short months ago. I had my implants removed in November and my health is already improving. What kinds of symptoms are you having? Yes, you are right to say that drugs will only mask symptoms. The trick is to get to the root cause of the problem (more then likely the implants,) and treat that problem. I bet if you removed your implants and did some detoxing, you will see some significant improvements in your health. You will get a lot of support and advice from this forum. There are so many wonderful women who will answer your questions, and give support and advice. Oh, and I just put up a website with a few of the other gals from the forum, if you want to check it out (it has some great info that you might be interested in.) The site is http://www.truthaboutbreastimplants.com/. And, you can check out the links and files on the left side of this forum, lots of great info there as well. ~Krista > > Hi, I am new and I have all these strange symptoms going on.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 PS, Ali... There are tests for silicone poisoning, but they remain essentially " unaccredited " due to the political nature of this issue. That is, they will not " prove " that your implants are making you sick. Silicone is in too many other products, and reputed to be " inert " (though it is not), so the association with implants remains nebulous. If there was a single test that could directly and unequivocally point to our implants as making us sick, then we would not have a controversy in this country and around the world about whether or not implants make women ill. We would have won in court decades ago and implants would have been banned. How I wish that would have been the case. So, the whole issue remains clouded, and we who have gotten better have done so because we listened to our instincts and got the implants out....the same instinct that is telling you that your implants are causing your symptoms. We've been proved right in case after case after case. We KNOW implants make women sick, because too many have complained of weird symptoms that are otherwise unexplainable, and we get better in time when the implants are removed--properly.

Guest guest Posted April 9, 2008 Report Share Posted April 9, 2008 Rogene,Thank you for your prayers, I believe in prayer and I feel like I cannot do it enough! So far so good with my kids. They were 4 and 5 years after implantation. The only thing was reflux with both of them and I attribute that to the implants 100% because when I bottle fed them they had no problems. But, I think it was due to the fact that I was so engorged with no natural space for it that my milk was coming out way to fast for them to not choke, and also they were small babies so that complicates things in itself. I really feel that if I had not had the implants I would have been able to breast feed both of them for much longer than I did. I hope and pray that was the only bad thing to come of it. Nobody tells you these things before hand, and the cosmetic surgeon who implanted mine was not forthcoming about anything. I was told I could be hit by a semi and my boobs would look great. I am feeling so betrayed in so many ways, by myself for not liking my chest the way God made it, and by the medical community from the surgeon to my team of drs now who think I am nuts for thinking it may be intertwined, to the manufacturers and the FDA. It is all overwhelming. The hardest part is keeping my head up and clinging to the hope that I may be healed. Again, thank you for your prayers.Love,Alisaxony01 <saxony01@...> wrote: Ali,Were your children born after you got implants?Are they OK . . .

I don't want to sound hard . . . but I want to be straight with you for the sake of your kids. Talk with Sue Gibbens in this group.

At least I haven't seen any kids with lasting problems who have been on really good diets. . . But we don't have any science, and very little history. After a woman has had her implants six years, or if he's symptomatic, I can tell her about her children's problems without ever seeing the child. . . Reflux is a relatively minor problem, compared to some!Still, guard those kids health like you would life itself! They have refused to test the sick offspring of implanted women . . . even though there are hundreds of MedWatch reports on file with the FDA. . .

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2008 Report Share Posted April 10, 2008 Rogene, I haven't checked the Silicone Kids group lately, but do you have a list of these symptoms/conditions that the children are showing up with, the time frames you allude to below, or progressions, the correct dietary measures to take, and other practical info like that anywhere? I'm just wanting to look over some of your info without having to read every post. Is that info available? I'm curious to know what these parents are dealing with so I can better help the women I talk to. Patty > > Ali, > > I hope your kids don't have any further problems . . .

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Hey Craig, I have type II diabetes and I have been sleeping with a CPAP for about two years now. That is until my surgery on May 6, 08. My diabetes numbers are normal and I haven't used my CPAP since surgery. Plus my blood pressure is down close to normal and I am only taking one pill instead of two for it. I am still on the mushy diet, and I can't wait to go on a normal diet so that I can start to loose more weight. Right now I am at a standstill. My Inusrance would not pay for my lap-band even knowing what benefits it would have on my co-morbidities, so I went to Dr Aceves and I am so glad that I did.

I was starting to show signs of diabetes coming on, but they are now long gone. After experiencing this process with Dr.Aceves, I am so glad I made the choice I did, and even if the insurance I have would have paid...I'd rather pay what I did and go to the best, Dr. Aceves.

I'm 38 married with 3 kids, I live in Michigan and need to lose about 150lbs or so.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2008 Report Share Posted September 1, 2008 Hi Shannie, We seldom eat out, but when we do I ask if they have a gluten-free menu and then order, fish, chicken or beef w/o seasoning (bring my own) or sauces and have steamed or roasted vegetables or a salad w/lemon and olive oil dressing. Hope this helps! Good luck, Beth I'm New Hello! I'm new here. I know most of you have probably heard this 100 times, but please bare with me. I tried to go on the yeast free diet my natural doctor recommended, but it's so hard to follow! What do you all do? First of, I'm so thin for my height (I'm almost 5 " 7) and I weigh only 114 pounds. When I go on the diet, I lose too much weight. Also, I work off hours and go away a lot and it's impossible to eat out. Are there any easier varitions of a strict yeast diet that anyone has found helpful? How do you deal with eating out? Thanks so much, Shannie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 Shannie, we use undenatured whey like the body builders do to avoid excessive lean mass loss while dieting because it keeps one's muscle tone better than not doing it. An undenatured whey is also listed in the Physician's Desktop Reference for Prescription Drugs for preventing wasting associated with cancer Duncan > > Hello! I'm new here.
