Helen, starting diet

[Guest guest]

Hello Helen,

Are you starting the diet about now? I,ve been on it for 3 weeks and can

report changes but not improvements. The first week I felt nauseous and

could eat very little with C followed by D followed by removing the

banana and cooked apple that I had introduced. then more C and D and C

again...what next? The nausea has practically gone now and I am hoping

that it was a good sign (die off?) and that in a week or two I'll start

to feel better. I must say the fatigue, my worst symptom, has been even

worse during this period, exacerbated perhaps by all the cooking,

yoghurt making and washing up involved. I plan to stick it out for 3

months; long enough, I would have thought, to see an improvement if

there is going to be one.

What do you think of the Gut and Psychology book - does it seem relevant

to ME/CFS/CFIDS? I was wondering whether to get it; as I am considering

contacting Dr N C-McB I suppose I should (but just had to buy a blender

and yoghurt maker to start this diet).

Good luck with the diet; I hope you don't get a bad reaction, mine, the

nausea, was quite bearable and didn't go on all that long.

Best wishes
