I would recommend checking out essential oils and homeopathic remedies too. I know a lot of people poo-poo them, but I've seen them do wonders.tammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10849649019416902710noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-13018824070247187932012-08-01T23:13:43.261-06:002012-08-01T23:13:43.261-06:00Ouch!

Never before have I heard of so many issues from Gluten intolerance, to Crones, to things like this.

I don't know whether it would help, but what about digestive enzymes? I see a doctor (she is actually an MD) but she focuses on diet and alternative methods to cure the body. She's helped me tremendously with my RA, with an array of enzymes,etc as my root cause seems to be digestion - or poor quality of. I also take an L-Glutamine powder 3xdaily in water. It's to cure a leaky gut - which isn't your problem, I realize. Just thinking out loud. You might look into alternative methods and supplements. Good luck - I, too, am always on the research hunt!karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-31515452157647796782012-07-31T10:07:13.698-06:002012-07-31T10:07:13.698-06:00Sorry to hear that!

She takes it usually before every meal and it helps the stomach empty faster so you dont get sick or have bad pain after eating. Of course there are some times where she still gets sick but its really helped her. She buys it from Canada because it's cheaper and most insurances dont cover it in the states. Best of luck!{Lara}https://www.blogger.com/profile/02130411667221627623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1325664396085481862.post-40925301039187328422012-07-31T10:06:16.118-06:002012-07-31T10:06:16.118-06:00Well crap.
