Hi everybody,greetings from a Mum from Adelaide, South Australia

My 21 yr old son, Rohan, been recommended to try it & I have bought

Elaine's book, 's cookbook & Ramand's, & read stacks & stacks of

emails from the lists. It seems daunting but am willing to try 100% if

it helps !

HIS HISTORY -1999- Started with gradually increasing nausea after a

bout of what we now know was campylobacter food poisoning(Diagnosed

2002!).... Had a single stool spec test by the GP & was told it was

unknown cause. Over the next 10 mnths, increased nausea & D up to 10 x

day.... . next 18 months, did the rounds with Gastro Dr's,

Naturopaths, D remained ,he lost about 12kgs & basically ate nothing

much more than nuts & fruits.Dr's were starting to say it was in his

head!! ...... - Lactose free diet & Naturopathic supplements helped

& drug called Omeprazole helped put weight back on,& the D stopped,but

now had constant nausea, reflux & now Chronic Fatigue.

- Picked up an influenza bug Jan 2000 & it all

fell apart,lost all the weight,was hospitalised & had gastritis. Back

to a GP Sinclair Bode, who recommended a special 3day/spec stool test

sent to Melbourne- SUCCESS,we had a diagnosis ! Antibiotics killed the

bug, but he now has IBS with cramps ,bloating & nausea,cannot put any

weight on & is always tired & light headed. He also has been diagnosed

with a slowly improving Leaky Gut Syndrome & Chronic Fatigue. Reading

the info, he is surviving on lots of illegals Rice milk, pasta,

turkey & steamed veges & rice.. no wonder he never feels good!

Sorry to be so long , hoping for advice & suggestions, Thanks,
