My Symptoms
Posted: Thu Oct 27, 2011 5:44 am
About 5 months ago, I started feeling nauseaus in the morning and then started gagging. I wouldn't throw up anything. It eventually happened every morning. Then it got to where I was throwing up anything I ate in the morning. I feel groggy in the morning and thru the day, like my body is heavy and tired. I feel like something is caught in my throat and continually try and clear it out or cough it out. I have heartburn. I pee almost every hour when I sleep. I gained about 45lbs in the past year and my diet shouldn't reflect that. I have soreness in my calf muscles sometimes. My eye twitches off and on but a lot every day. My underarms sweat a lot and do doesn't seam to help.
Recently, I found Dave Hompus' videos on youtube and thought I'd try cutting out gluten. I only ate larabars for bfast and lunch and chicken, rice and green beans for dinner for a week and a half and I almost instantly felt 10 times better. My symptoms almost fully went away and I didn't gag in the morning. My mood improved a whole lot. Until today...I went to whole foods with my wife and got some shampoo and soap and grabbed a bolthouse chocolate drink. It said gluten free but it did contain soy. Within 30 minutes I felt bad again like I felt before I stopped eating gluten.
I don't know what to do. Living with this is like chinese water torture and it's driving me crazy. It seems like whatever is wrong with me is aggrivated by gluten and/or soy. I've been unemployed and don't have a lot of money. Changing my diet was financially hard enough and I don't really know how to go about testing to see if I have h pylori, but I can't really afford a doctor visit, medication and/or medula tea etc... Can anyone offer some guidance or advice please? Thank you.
