Guest guest Posted January 5, 2008 Report Share Posted January 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I'm going to indulge myself and rabbit on about my situation for a few minutes... hope you don't mind. I know I've mentioned this before, but the reason I got sidetracked from doing the AP much sooner, was that I went down the road of thinking I could cure my disease by eliminating certain foods which were triggering the symptoms (the Leaky Gut thing) and taking supplements (funnily enough someone on this list told me about the diet thing, however I was previously a vitamin junkie anyway . Also, I was paranoid about antibiotics, as I've read that they cause illness in the first place by mucking up the body's eco system. I guess the AP can help Leaky Gut by killing the bugs that cause it in the first place ? I'm sure that some foods trigger pain, but I don't know which ones and couldn't be bothered finding out, since it's too hard to go on elimination diets etc. I just try to keep things down to a dull roar by not eating the main offenders like wheat and dairy, but it's hard. When the pain gets bad, I go on a fast for a few days and that usually gets me back on track. I also found some natural remedies that are great anti-inflammatories, and have managed to keep off the drugs like Methotrexate etc, just taking Celebrex. I think all this will hold me in good stead for taking on the AP in a few weeks. Is anyone else on the list into the supplement " thing " ? I guess I still feel a bit anxious about taking antibiotics, and want to make sure I do the right things re diet and pro-biotics/supplements etc. Be good to swap notes with others. All the best, ~Leonie (Canberra, Australia) leoniecent@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
