Herbal Diagnosis

Have you looked at the possibility that something you are eating may be triggering your stomach problems? The reason I ask is because both my cousin and my friend's little girl were constantly battling stomach pains. In both cases, they went totally lactose and gluten free, and they have no more problems. Every once in a while, the little girl will eat some junk food with her friends, and she ends up in pain again. If your docs have not suggested this, maybe see a nutritionist who can help you figure out if food is your trigger. By the way, my cousin has what I think is called celiac disease? Have you heard of this? She has become very healthy since changing her diet.

Your herbalist sounds like an idiot. I am seeing a wonderful homeopathic chiropractor who has really helped me to balance my system since BC. I am doing a liver detox now, and I have changed to  a low glycemic diet and cut out sugar, and it has made a lot of difference. I have opted to not do any hormone treatment because I do not trust the long term side effects, so I had to look for support from another doctor besides my ONco. I hope you can find a better doctor. No one should have to deal with someone who prescibes something, but really does not know what is causing your pain.

Good luck to you!

Hi Sashiko,

I had stomach problems too.  Really bad pains in the lower abdomen and digestive problems.  After checking for gynecological problems and doing a lot of tests, my doctor finally diagnosed Irritable Bowel Syndrome or IBS. It's a very common problem - check out info on the Internet and you'll see.  I now have medication to take when it flares up.  It has helped a lot.

Hi Shashiko - I've been reading up on the virus you say the herbalist says you have - CMV (cytomegalovirus) right?  If that's correct, do you have any other symptoms besides pain in your stomach?  The reason I ask is that stomach pain isn't a symptom of a CMV infection.  "Active infection in otherwise healthy children and adults can cause prolonged high fever, chills, severe tiredness, a generally ill feeling, headache, and an enlarged spleen.  People with weakened immune systems can have more serious, potentially life-threatening illnesses, with fever, pneumonia, liver infection, and anemia."

I had been seeing an herbalist and iridologist for many years prior to my diagnosis and whenever I saw her for breast lumps, she would tell me everything looked fine according to my eyes.  She apparently didn't know that breast cancer doesn't show up in the eyes until it's pretty far advanced.  Fortunately, she moved and I started seeing another iridologist prior to my lump appearing and she told me to get it checked out because it would take awhile for it to appear in my eyes.

Good luck and I hope you get some answers for what ails you.
