Hey,Hi @Rafael Lao Wai,
I'm sorry to hear the only thing you got from the doctor was the knowledge of your hands' hypermobility. I find it frustrating when you see a doctor for something they are trained to treat and you leave without help.
Huh, that's interesting about infant muscularity and mucin. I need to research that. I struggled with constipation as a baby (formula fed), but I think my muscle development was normal for a dancer and how active I was.
Yeah, the cleanup is my least favorite part. I also prefer to eat my calories so I have even less motivation to juice, however, I can't remember the last time my stomach was this flat and completely free from cramping — minus last night's trial.
It is sad. Even the doctors I've had that specialized in hormones never mentioned progesterone, only estrogen. I finally learned about it, and Dr. John Lee's work, from my RBTI practitioner.
Oh, that's right! Cayenne. My gut is just finally starting to trust me again so that's one I won't be trying anytime soon. lol
Thank you. :) Errors have happened so many times that I usually look over my results just in case, but I didn't have a copy and figured because the doctor was head of the department, that she read the results correctly.
Yeah, it's what I suspected — my issues with dairy are due to bacteria, likely because of poor thyroid and adrenal function and resulting weak peristalsis. Before the NDT, my digestion was so slow that when I took activated charcoal, I was still eliminating it after 3 days.
LOL Go big or go home? Desperation is a great motivator. I was in so much pain from the back injury, struggling to get a menstrual cycle and above a certain weight and doctors weren't helping. I came across a post, by someone whose name I won't mention out of respect to those here who I know believe in her work, that made me think my bones and cycle were dependent on gaining weight. I learned the hard way that wasn't the case — my stint with refeeding ended in the ER.
Going by the examples in her post, it's far too easy IMO to self-diagnose as having an eating disorder. It had me thinking that maybe I had been chronically undereating given my size, lack of period and insatiable appetite. Add to that the claim that most damage in the body heals as weight is restored and I took a shot. I ended up joining her forum where the standard advice was to get some sweatpants and eat whenever we thought of food. Anyway, I totally agree with you.
Ye, it's very frustrating.
Good thing your muscles were fine.
I also like eating fruit better than drinking juice. But similarly, juice is really the only way for me to even tolerate fruits. Btw, I tried using your double filtration technique for my melon juice, and I did feel it being lighter in my stomach. Gonna try that for a few more days to see if I notice other benefits
So, by dealing with the SIBO, then you may tolerate dairy? That would be awesome! Frank Tufano said that he found a way to tolerate dairy after following a protocol which he didn't explain fully. How cool would it be able to drink a bunch of milk everyday XD
Wow, overfeeding can be pretty dangerous. I always cringe when I see those youtubers eating an incredible amount of food( usually junk food) in one sitting for no good reason. It does atract a lot of views though. That's probably why they do it.
