We plan to have the 4 (me, PH, Beth and CLynn) of our stories right on

behind implant illness " where we will include links to everyone else's

stories.

It is really coming along nicely!

PH,

Thanks for relating to me and for the food journal. I think it will

help, it's much more detailed than the one I was doing. I'm going to

give it a try. )

many sites as we can! We want to get the TRUTH out there to all.

Thanks so much for all the great links. I hope you and your dad are

doing ok. You're both in my prayers. Love, PH

Hi April,

I thought I would chime into this discussion. I am have been a

stresser my whole life, long before implants. Now that their out, my

adrenals are haywire. I just discovered that I am EXTREMELY

hormanally out of balance. My naturopath had me do a saliva test and

discovered that I have severe depression, nervousness and I'm very

anxious....stressed, due to this imbalance. He tired a Tang Kuei

Plus supplement on me....my body did not go for it. I am exremely

sensitive to anything I take. It was to help start balancing me out.

He is going to try somehthing else. He says my moods have ALOT to do

with my hormonal imbalance. This might be something you can look

into. One of the biggest frustrations I have is.......patience. I so

desperatly want to feel better since explant and it's coming at a

snails crawl. It's always great to have these ladies here help in

hanging in there! It helped me just reading this.

Good luck!

Hugs,

Cherie

Hi Sue,

Here's Mercola's Food Journal below that Rogene mentioned this

morning. I hope it helps. I came up with the same intolerances on

my test as you. It's hard at first but after a while you don't

even miss the things you're supposed to stay away from. The hardest

one for me was gluten until Mercola reminded me that if your body

can't digest gluten (which most people can't), it stays around longer

in your gut, fermenting and providing a ton of food for the bad

guys. Hearing that was enough to help me avoid it! Good luck.

Love, PH

Thank you PH,

I thought I was doing pretty good with my

diet …..guess I was wrong.

I only ate organic brown seeded bread, but

I will buy gluten free from now.

Thanks Sue
