I finally got into the Integrative Medicine practice yesterday. It was a very long, 2-hour appointment, but she covered every little nook and cranny of my health. She told me that all my conditions - fibro, IBS, GERD, rosacea - are all because of inflammation in my body. She wants me to go on a very strict, 8-week elimination diet from foods that cause inflammation. So I won't be able to have sugar, sugar substitutes, gluten, dairy, eggs, soy, corn, or peanuts.
She believes that I have leaky gut syndrome and metabolic syndrome. She feels that with diet and adding more supplements in that I will be able to get control over my symptoms and significantly improve my quality of life. She herself has fibro and IBS and has done quite well with this plan. She also feels that I will eventually be able to come off of my prescription meds for these conditions.
I know that everyone reacts differently, but it's worth a shot. The only side effect I can see is that I'll be eating healthy and losing weight which I desperately need to do.
