Hi Cher,
Believe it or not most of your health problems (GERD, Crohn’s, Diverticulosis , Chronic yeast, UTI, asthma and severe allergies ) have 2 things in common – ABNORMAL GUT FLORA and severe food allergies/food intolerance. I know how to help people like you. It is not an easy road to wellness but it is possible for you to have a normal, healthy life.

A few of the diseased that plague me terribly and indeed may finally kill me are (experienced together) GERD, Chrohns, Diverticulosis, Diabetes, Chronic yeast systemic. In addition I have untreatable asthma, severe allergies to dust mites and other things, and inability to tolerate medications esp antibiotics. I have suffered from UTIs monthly and yeast infecs for past 7 mos. Apparently the last antibiotic I took, a cephalosporin, gave me yesat so bad it has been in all oral cavities of my body; cant get rid of it and teh anti fungals made me deathly ill as did the antibiotic which I had to stop. I was give nystain for the thrush and had to stop it. Now yeast is back and I have cbronic diahrea cant eat anything and have had pus sometimes purulent from ane anal cavity. Been to the er three times and since they did not see the pus they sen tme home after iv rehydration. I brought up a sample and they refuesd it s it wasn't in their own cup. I am a pre med grad and gave a sterile sample, as steril as poop can be for goodness sakes...I am at home s my GI doc will not see me until Nov its now Oct. I am suffering so much I may die here. The er is so inept where I live, I got a copy of my med recs and found the medication they listed is not what I am on but what my Mom was on when she was there..same last name. My PCP refused to help me because I dont go to boston for help. I cant as I have no one to take me and idI go by ambulance no way to get home. We checked with three hospitals and they will not send you home. So had all the local er records senet to PCP but they said I am out of the "loop" and so I have no help whatsoever. am suffering greatly and am trying to minimally find a diet so I may get some nutrition and try to make it to Nov. I am not finding any one body of nutritional info anyplace that can help me obviously. BTW I diagnosed the Chrohns, it could be somethign else, allI know is the pus has at times come of of me for hours and hours, all nite to be exact, the first and last time it was much much less. I just am too sick to know what else to to other than what I have stated. Boy if I make it thru this I am doing a will! Cher Hi, I’ve an extremely complicated medical profile.

Because you son continues to suffer stomach pain, modifying his diet based on the results of Food Allergy/Intolerance Test and GI Function profile should be a good first step in a program for his recovery. He might be eating and drinking foods which his body has a hard time digesting and absorbing properly. That could be one of the reasons he is loosing weight. Apples and bananas are healthy fruit choices for kids with normal digestion. But for some IBS patient those fruits are considered fermentable carbohydrates and eating them could trigger abdominal cramping, gas and bloating. If you have any further questions and need my professional attention please visit my consultation page at http://www.knowyourgut.com/consultation/index.html Hi Pamela,

A low fat plant based diet helps. Meat and animal products are toxic not to mention cruel which causes IBS to be worse. A low fat plant based diet helps.

Some of my patients with IBS do exhibit symptoms of abdominal cramping and bloating while having the normal results of the following tests: colonoscopy, ultrasound and abdominal CT scan. But your abdominal distress is real and must be addressed. Because you suffer from constipation and abdominal cramping modifying your diet based on the results of Food Allergy/Intolerance Test and GI Function profile should be a good first step in a program for your recovery. I am in a process of making these tests available to my subscribers on my website; in the meantime, if you so desire, I can order these tests for you. Please communicate to me via separate e-mail for further instructions. However, you must consider that your problem is clearly a complex one and in order to be resolved once and for all it requires holistic approach and comprehensive program. Comprehensive program simply means addressing much more that food allergies. For example, if the test shows that you are allergic to wheat simple elimination of wheat may not be enough to get rid of your problem but simple adjustments to your diet and introduction of some supplements could resolve your GI problems for good. Therefore my recommendation is to follow these tests by an appointment with a qualified licensed health care professional who can not only interpreted the results of the test but more importantly, incorporate the interpretation into holistic program for you.

I am going to the health store right now to get some liquid chlorophyll because I have had bleeding after bowel movements for a few weeks now. I have had a colonoscopy, CT scan, ultrasound and an endoscopy and all appeared normal. I ended up in the hospital two weeks ago after intense upper abdominal cramping. I do suffer from constipation every so often so I am hoping increasing my soluble fiber intake plus using your tea recipe will help. I am wondering about these tests you are talking about though for testing for allergies and excessive yeast in your gut. How do I go about getting these done? Thanks, Stacy Hi Galina,
