My visit to the Naturopath was pretty great. It's a community clinic located at PCC slyvania, run by students at the National College of Natural Medicine. Good option for people with limited budgets. They sat with me for about an hour and just walked through the events and symptoms I've been experiencing over the last couple years. Which, to say the least, was much more time than my primary care physician ever allowed me to talk.
In the end they were unable to diagnose me...but put me on a food diary plan along with Magnesium and Vitamin B drops. I go back in with my food diary in 2 weeks so they can get a better look at my habits and symptoms. By that time they will have retrieved my medical records as well which will be helpful. Apparently, it will be a long process but they are confident we can figure out what's wrong. So I'm blessed.
As for Candida they told me to eat "Light and easy foods" until we know what's wrong. So I plan to continue to the Candida diet. More than any other eating plan I've tried, this is the most helpful....but also most grueling. However my fridge is full of veggies, homemade soup, water and chicken. So here's to eating like a freakin' chipmunk for the next few weeks....gotta love that :)
Glad your appt. went good & that you made it to the grocery store! Do you ever go to New Seasons? They always have 4 fresh soups made. At least one, would be safe for you to eat. Their deli counter has some good things too (roasted veggies, kale salad, tofu/eggplant...) Trader Joe's has 3.99 lunches in their refrigerator section that are great also! (greek salads, hummus plates, etc...) When you don't want to do the prep., you can go treat yourself!
