I have been coming to this site for a while now but never really posted.I have tried every healthy thing possible to lose weight but it never worked.until now....
My name is Marcy,I am 32 years old and have been overweight since I was approx 11, each year getting a little heavier and heavier.I never really ate fried foods,or even ate a lot of food(quantity) etc but I was always getting sick, being put on antibiotics,and getting heavier. I was going to doctors for years and they all told me they cant figure out what the problem is.
For approx 2 years now I had a bad rash underneath my breasts and the dr. kept saying its because I have large breasts and that could happen, so just to use powder.Up till recently it ususally helped but never went away.A few days ago it was so bad I couldnt take it anymore and went to see my dr. he wasnt in , so I saw the dr filling in for him and let me tell you he saved my life.
See he is open to homeopathy and alternative medicines and right away he told me what my symptoms probably were and what he thought it was,as far as yeast ,allergies and toxicity etc and ordered tests and blood workups.
I finally have been diagnosed with an immune disorder due to severe allergies to yeast and molds.
so basically everything I was eating for me even though it was "healthy" per say was the worst thing for me.
So as it stands right now I am on alot of herbs and supplements and on a very strict eating plan taking away all the foods i am allergic to which are ALOT!!!!!!!!!!.
when you are allergic to yeast,molds,vinegar,sugar,dairy and wheat that eliminates alot of the typical foods out there like ketchup,mayo,broths,canned foods,breads,crackers,mushrooms,mustard,etc etc
The funny thing is I am not even scared about the news because at least they gave me an answer and I know that I am not going crazy.
right now they have me eating only protein and certain veggies for 2 weeks for a detox,so i can start clearing out my body and repairing my immune system,and he said the weight will melt off me now.
I have really learned alot from these boards as far as nutrition goes,etc so I wanted to share my news as well. I never knew that being allergic to foods and additives could make me so sick and keep me overweight all these years.
so I look forward to finally joining you all in losing the weight and along the way making some new friends
