I actually replied to you five times yesterday. With fact, my personal story, how my blood counts changed, why this diet worked for me and others didn't, and why paleo and keto work for some and not others. i also spoke of the GERD, IBS leaky gut connection. You didn't respond to one post. I do see the irony that when…

I am at 50 NET carbs or less a day. That equates to approximately SEVEN CUPS OF BROCCOLI people. I AM IN KETOSIS. When people talk about low carb they are talking about going without grains or sugars, not without carbs. God bless it. All this infernal babbling and people think you have to consume absolutely NO carbs to be…

GERD, IBS, thyroid, they all have a leaky gut connection. Like many of the above posters, i went through 4 endocrinologists before I found one who actually looked me in the face and was more interested in my health as a whole than in prescribing me pills and scheduling the next appointment 6 weeks out. Although, I do think…

I had a nice picture for you, but it is SO darn complicated doing it on this web site that it's just impossible. But how about this... How you treat me is your karma How I react is mine.

Thank you Wren! Right now, My diet is pretty strict and i follow it pretty closely. I have managed to regulate my cholesterol, liver enzymes, and tri's with a fairly strict keto diet. I currently am up to 35 carbs a day garnered from vegetables and low (limited) sugar fruits) I have dropped 18 pounds in 2 1/2 months. So,…

Weeeellll,many people quoting studies above me, yet, I must ask, how many of them actually have GERD or IBS? How many of them have gone Paleo or Keto? How many are aware that GERD and IBS are linked to leaky bowel? Why so angry? The only people who should be angry are the ones who are suffering and not finding the answers…

Exactly. I am doing something quite similar in that I am doing Keto and have eliminated all grains. Gerd is gone. So is the IBS. No more belching, no more teeter totter on the other end. Weight falls off without too much effort on my part. I sleep a solid 8. It probably sounds like I found Jesus under the couch, but I…

From what I can tell from your diary...you sodium is off the charts. There seems to be coming from a great deal of prepackaged/fastfood. This is probably contributing to you retaining a great deal of water. Also, I do notice that you are doing a fair amount of "quick add" calories. In fact, every single day has them. What…

Reality: There is NO scientific data that shows you actually need a specific amount of water daily. In fact, there IS scientific data correlating our heavy water intakes with kidney overloads however. Research people!!! ***The Mayo Clinic's recommendation is "If you drink enough fluid so that you rarely feel thirsty and…

i just realized the ED stands for eating disorder. Disregard EVERYTHING i said. NO ONE with an eating disorder should venture into a diet without regular and continual doctoral and dietary support. Even with my health issues, I would not attempt any dietary changes without doctors consent and REGULAR visits. (every 4 weeks)

As someone who has tried every diet out there, I can assure you that diets are like jeans, one brand does not fit all. From diabetics, to hypothyroid's, to hyperthyroid's, to butt fat, to belly fat, to post menopause...you name it. I found that a keto diet works for me. To the tune of 16 pounds in 2 months. As for the…

That is simply epic and amazing! What an incredible story. I am so very happy for you! Your light burns so bright, please never hide it because of what others fear in themselves!

Hello! Got the invite and thank you! 3 pounds in!! Good on you!

Well, I totally forgot i started this thread. I have a new endo. In fact, i may have had him when I started this thread. I finally got in to see him late October. What a difference a good doctor makes. He treated me like a bomb victim coming in off the field. All of my weight loss concerns were put on the bottom of the…

OMG...you have THREE pounds to go?!?!? Congratulations!!!

I'm in! I'm down 11 since December 1st, so I'm on my way. My ultimate goal is 122, but I'd take 130 in a heartbeat!!!

Hollllly **** girl, you look awesome! I myself have finally just switched endo's (for the 3rd time) and it's been magical. Down 11 pounds since December 1st. God bless his little blood testing heart. I DO BELIEVE there is a life after this disease.

Down 11 lb from Dec 1st till now. Booya!

Well, i started on December 1st and I'm 9 pounds down. I'm considering every pound a victory since it's the worst time to lose weight and sell a house. Actually, I think it would be easier to sell a house! Still, though, even with a set back of a surgery and a wedding, I'm still averaging a 3 pound loss a week. heck yeah.…

Well, i just joined your group about 2 minutes ago and have been doing low carb for a whopping 7 days. Actually, 6 1/2 days, but I'm starting to struggle so I though it might be a good idea to join an active group for motivation. Last week Thursday i started at 172. And I've been that stinkin' weight for about 3 months.…

Oy! I remember when my mom found Jesus under the couch. It was her only topic of conversation for years. She still kind of leans towards the couch when having to answer for something she doesn't want to own up to. I'm not much of a conspiracy theorist myself. I think that if i smoke, I'm the one who stuck the thing in my…

thank you both SO much! i have sent each of you a message and a friends request. Vlland, I have been experimenting with foods lately and I have found that broccoli keeps me full FOREVER. And, I don't crazy sugar. Yes, broccoli. BLAH! But, I mixed it with a few low fat tbps of low fat may, some white wine vinegar, a packet…
