It All Started With A Stomach Virus

It all started with a stomach virus, then 10 months later I found out it was gall bladder disease. I took every PPI known to man and they eventually quit working after a few months. I lost more weight and did a second endoscope and found I no longer had a burnt esophagus but a mutilated stomach.

I freaked out because none of the GI's could help me. So I had a very stressful summer and was on raglan, ppi's and domperidome. Then a friend referred me to a whole health chiropractor and she discovered I had leaky gut syndrome, slight allergies, overgrowth candida, hypoglycemia and a very nervous stomach filled with little red sores (peptic ulcers).

I decided to take mastic gum in the morning, Solaray Digestaway and Glutamine at night and slow down on my stress.

I have two very active, young kids and that was incredibly hard. So, I healed up and got off all the prescription medicine. I ate smaller more frequent meals, but then I would get hungrier as I went along. After a year and  a half, I got my periods back. Then, I lost them again after surgery.

A stressful summer started and my stomach aches came back with a vengeance b/c of pms. Yikes! And family visitations with young kids running around everywhere. I am going to a psychotherapist for anxiety, my GI for ulcers or bacteria overgrowth, chiropractor for massages and adjustments, whole health endocrinologist to test my adrenals and hormones, and my gyno to make sure my pms isn't getting me out of wack.

I just think I'm a bundle of nerves and short of being comatose. I need to cut down on my anxiety. But how do you do it with kids who need to be entertained all the time, house, working at home, and all the other stuff that comes with it?
