Can Anyone Help Me With This?

[BabyMae09]

I know something isn't right with my body. I am tired, dizzy, don't want to eat, feel bloated, have frequent gas, and am loosing lots of weight. The tired and weight thing might be due to a still breastfeeding 13 month old. But the rest of it is really stumping me.

I've been doing research and there is just SO MUCH information out there on allergies that I can't even begin to sort through it all. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Ask me any questions you want!

Also, I'm moody, quick to anger (even though I don't want to be - it's like my body just needs to go there), easily confused (I typed just when I meant to write quick in this sentence!).

Thanks in advance

Have you had your thyroid checked?

Nope. Google-ing it...

The moody, quick to anger is adrenal for me.

It sounds like you're not digesting well at all. I'd look into supporting stomach acid - so eating fermented foods and/or supplementing zinc.

zinc and magnesium and vit C to start

Pumpkin seeds, Nettles infusion and green smoothies will make a huge difference. Some kefir or yogurt too.

I seem to recall problems with your housing situation (mold or something?) and general life stress? Have things resolved somewhat there? (I'm sorry, I lost track of the thread.)
Generally speaking, hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue and gluten intolerance tend to go together like three little girls skipping down the street. You MIGHT try removing gluten from your diet (said the kettle to the pot ).

We did move into a new place, and mold was something we wondered about for a while, it kind of got pushed to the backburner. When we moved into this place (away from our in-laws house), our stress level went way down

Thanks for the info on hypothyroidism, adrenal fatigue and gluten intolerance. I'll be looking those up tonight.

Okay, so the search for adrenal fatigue led me to candidia, which sounds exactly like what I'm going through. The adrenal fatigue and gluten are, I think, symptoms pointing towards what happened with me: I ate TONS of carbs, and had very high stress in my life for months on end.

All good things to mention when I see my doctor on Tuesday!

Thanks, ladies. I feel like I'm gaining some clarity
