    My journey to getting well

    Got the munchies today. I'm thinking that came from the workout that has me a bit worn down but nothing to problematic. Natural vitamins are a big help I believe that giving me improved energy levels. Tongue is looking great. It isn't perfect but close to it. I'm still believing the tongue...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm doing well today. No illness so far, and I don't feel tere will be any. Tongue is looking better, nearly healed up. Skin is looking quite good. I'll be looking at how I do with fasting. I won't begin to fast till after Tuesday, the dental appointment. It might explain why sometimes...

    My journey to getting well

    I did better today. I was still a bit sick this afternoon, but overall it wasn't much. Famous last words but I believe the worst is over for the latest flare. Kind of looking forward to avoiding spices, nightshade, and carrot family long term. Never thought I'd say that, but confidence it...

    My journey to getting well

    Well, the latest citrus avoidance is short lived. I decided to concentrate on avoiding spices, nightshade, and carrot family. At this point I figure I need to go on a very long avoidance with that. 1 year I'm thinking. So if that doesn't workout I'll revert back to citrus. The pain felt...

    My journey to getting well

    Well shoot, I woke up this morning with a bad upset stomach. I'm thinking this is a continuation of Saturdays flare. As i mentioned this, Imodium was not working, yet I took a lot of Imodium and it did work eventually. The problem I've noticed with Imodium is that while it can help some it...

    My journey to getting well

    I've done much better today. The stomach has been calm. My energy levels remain good. Fatigue is not really as issue. I suspect avoiding citrus is the cause for that but I'm not entirely sure. No tongue sores. I'll be watching the tongue closely as I'm curious to see if the tongue does...

    My journey to getting well

    Yesterday was a rather frightening day. It is never fun dealing with a big flare. The stomach seems calmer more settled this morning. I'll be on edge fro the day though I can imagine. It doesn't help that a possible hurricane is coming this way though most current forecasts show is moving...

    My journey to getting well

    today is an odd day. I was quite sick, scary sick in a way. Imodium was not working. That always causes fear for me. But now later this afternoon the stomach has settled some. And overall I don't feel bad. that is the strange bit, I still have decent energy levels. So I'll avoid citrus...

    My journey to getting well

    Well, I'm thinking now I guessed wrong. This morning and afternoon I've been quite sick to my stomach. I'm not thinking spices, nightshade, carrot family is the problem. I'll still avoid citrus. I should give it a long avoidance. I never do but it should be done. So starting tomorrow now...

    My journey to getting well

    The avoiding citrus and fasting didn't work. The laxative fasting effect happened this morning. It is early I suppose to know for certain if it worked or not. I've only avoided citrus for a day and a half. Once the tropical storm situation is resolved I'll likely try the idea again. My hair...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm doing well this morning. I didn't sleep all that well last night but I'm doing well enough. So far no laxative effect from fasting yesterday. Sometimes it is delayed so maybe latter. Hopefully not at all. I forget but when I avoid citrus the runny nose, and sneezing in the morning goes...

    My journey to getting well

    I'm still doing quite well with energy and overall how I feel this later afternoon. It is so wonderful. I've over exercised and I'm feeling a little bit sore. I'll be a lot sore tomorrow is my guess. My guess too is that I'll be feeling fine enough. Weighed myself a bit ago and I'm alreay...

    My journey to getting well

    Today is going wonderfully. I have a tremendous amount of energy. My exercise watch has the evidence to prove it also. I've more than doubled the amount of exercise I typically do and it is only 1:00, and I'm fasting also. I'm not feeling all that sore or tired so far either. So far the...

    My journey to getting well

    165lbs. I lost 2 pounds yesterday. Don't know why. Presumably this is after avoiding citrus as I don't recall ever seeing a drop in weight when avoiding spices/nightshade/carrot family. I'll record my weight for a bit while avoiding citrus. I might even fast today. One of the things about...

    My journey to getting well

    For the month of Nov. I am making another dietary change. I'll go back to avoding nightshade, spices, carrot family. that was the last item I added and while it started out safe might over time have upset the stomach. I'm also going to avoid citrus. I've been eating and drinking more citrus...

    My journey to getting well

    I feel rather lousy this morning. It is likely mainly due to over exercising. Yesterday I decided to exercise more, up to 1000 calories burned a day. I started yesterday and today I'm feeling run down, and have a slight upset stomach. I'll make it but it never feels good being like this...

    My journey to getting well

    The tongue is nearly healed. I love it. It healed quite quick. That's a wonderful sign, I believe. Gut doing well. I had ordered some olive extract. It arrived today. I might take that tomorrow to see if it causes a tongue sore. I doubt it will but worth finding out. Olive extract was...

    My journey to getting well

    I believe I'm feeling better this morning. Still have tht tongue sore but it is healing. Hard to say how long it will stick around. Hope it heals soon. Well, look forward to testing the B12 theory after Nov. 12th. I have my doubts that is the cause ofthe tongue sore but then again multi...

    My journey to getting well

    Tongue looking good, nearly healed. I'm healing quick. It is a positive sign. I'm not so sure that my problem is with B12 vitamins, but I read further on it today, and will adjust my diet some. At a latter time I'll test the dairy free cheese eating it again to see what happens. My guess...

    My journey to getting well

    I found some possibly troubling information. I've been taking a "natural" B vitamin complex the last few months. Looking at the ingredients though I see the natural B12 is listed as synthetic B12. Something deceptive is going on. I only take this natural b complex vitamin twice a week. When...
