Oh!! I do remember I went to several md's they all thought it was stress , Anxiety!! It was frustrating bc they all had that same puzzled look on their face. And here I was suffering week after week. I could barely take care of myself. Finally one doc suggested to be tested for h pylori. She thought I might have drank bad water. It all came about after a very bad hurricane in south fl 2005. Who knows?
It's really not that rare considering anywhere from 1/4 to 1/2 the population is affected by it.. Depending on which study you read;) and yes the doctor did think the pain was anxiety related! My anxiety is more managed now than ever so I knew that couldn't be the sole cause. Interesting to hear your story Bigkitty!! Love and light and peace to you. Glad you recovered and are here to share with me now!
Just wanted to update this in case anyone was curious or in the future maybe this could help someone. Yesterday I finished my last day of my H. Pylori treatment. 3 weeks of mastic gum increasing slowly by the week. I wait 3 weeks before I get tested to see if it's under control. If not next I will try either Matilda tea or Manuka honey. Hoping for the best bit keeping my options open. However I just say I feel so much better !!! Little to no processes sugar, minimal gluten and wheat, no processes meat. Lots o veggies, fruit, nuts , smoothies, protein shakes. I haven't gained any weight yet, I would really like my5 lbs back that went away in March. :) I'm still taking the Adrenaplex until this course is done. Hopefully when all is said and done I'll be a bit heavier on the scale because that what I want mentally and in my soul I want peace from pain that neglect has caused. Either way life is great! I also just started a course for healing empathetic fatigue and overwhelm that was suggested to me by another lovely SV member. We will be working I. The 524th week on sugar monsters, that really stood out to me as far as how I comfort myself. I am blessed to have that opportunity to heal myself :) thanks for the space to share all. Peace and happiness SV
Matula tea not Matilda and 5th week - 524th;) chubby fingers here
Sigh. So the H. Pylori is still troubling me. I start my 2nd course today. Mastic gum, manuka honey and a 102 billion count probiotic. I also recently started taking curcumin for inflammation and boswellia to heal my tummy. Being your own experiment can be stressful and validating at the same time. I am determined to heal myself with out harmful things being put into my body. Much of my family disagrees with my choice, my husband is supporting me through this and that feels great!! It's easy to trun to quick fixes when we get scared. I refuse to get instant gratification and not solve the real problem. More diet changes and this new set of tools to help my body heal. I see sugar is such a huge trigger for me, it leads to the worse self neglect in every way! Lucky to be healing my body and mind so the soul has a clean playground:)

I was wondering how everything was going, wishing you speedy health. 💜💜
Thanks Veena! Everything is as it should be, I just have to keep my head cleared out so my tummy can do the same, meditation and more meditation. Every hour I am forcing myself to look at What I need. What a crazy connection between emotions and the tummy. I also am in the 424th week of healing fatigue and overwhelm .. This week are we working with our sugar monsters ! Wow. Big eye opener about feeling, sugar (whether it be chocolate or potato chips its all sugar) and then guilt and shame. Cycle has been very evident in my life. So just really focusing on mantras to help positive notations take hold so the mind doesn't get to tell me I'm a bad person any more. The ego has his place, but really it's myvspirirts turn to shine. I feel this illness has been a gift in a way, my children are learning compassion in a new light and the bond they have developed while mom has been down has been so special. They remind me nothing is ever wrong with NOW. :) thanks again for the love Veena!
42424th... Hah let's try 4th week ;)
I hope this next course of treatment is effective. Do you notice any difference yet? Any of the symptoms resolving? Please get better quickly.😊
Bigkitty.. I am feeling better surely! I am starting to have more energy and I haven't had an episode that takes me down for several weeks, for that I am very grateful, curious if it's the adrenal supplement that cured that hiccup. Only time will tell! I have a really good feeling about this 2nd treatment:) I had an xray yesterday for some other lower tummy issues so I am waiting on that now. I appreciate your support and love lady!
You may have already tried this, but I was recently recommended EFT (emotional freedom technique) for dealing with sugar issues- not had chance to try yet but hear lots of good things! There are YouTube how to clips and it's easy to do...I also found cranial sacral therapy hugely helpful for releasing anxiety / trauma from the body- so powerful but gentle and can also be great for tummy issues....wishing you strength on your healing journey xx
Lindz-- thank you for your response ! I did a short tapping meditation this am... Wow. expressing worry or anxiety and then positively affirming my glory after... I liked this. Clearing and creating. I've been curious about meridian work. Thank you so much ! I will return to this practice , another tool in The bag for leading a calm life. I really appreciate YOU Lindz! As far as cranial sacral, that was my first stop on my journey to get myself settled... I had 3 visits 0 benefit , several hundred dollars out and she closed down a month later. Maybe in the future I will find someone legit in that area. I love in a small town, about 10 years in The past ;-)
Ah, so pleased you found the tapping helpful :-) What a shame about your cranial experience - I too live in a small town about ten years in the past, so totally get that! All blessings on your day xx
Just wanted to update in case others were wondering or if anyone goes through this I hope this thread will help. So a few doctors later here I am , yesterday I seen an amazing naturopath:):) My spleen and liver are suffering. All the energy in my body is being used to fight this bacteria, no wonder I had h. Pylori which is now under control. 80% of my body is being affected by this bacteria, she said I have been fighting this for 11 months. I know I also have candida overgrowth but right now the bacteria is So heavy that's all she is worried about, until it's under control. So yes I was RIGHT my Adrenals are absolutely causing my fatigue. They are taxed. Which I why I get sick after 5 minutes of cardio. Yes 5 min!! It's been rough. The last dance I posted, I was terribly sick the next day. Now I see the pattern and heart pumping exercise has been making me sick since March, I just did not want to believe it !! I have new herbs and 1 week to feel considerably better or else I am on to man made antibiotics. Which is ok, not what I want but I don't want to die either! So after my treatment this week I will post what I did. All natural of course and I can feel it in my heart... This is going to be good for me. I have given myself some pats on The back because this has been a huge growing period for me, learning how to function with pain. The Power of Now has transformed how much I allow myself to suffer. This book showed me how to move out of the past and future and into the present. True gift. to just be, and for me mindfullness pulled me heavy into attention when the sysmptoms would arise as to not be overcome but drawn into the present moment. It has been a true blessing. And yoga. Oh my without yoga and meditation... I'm not so sure I'd be handling all this , and no pole. That's been hard. But it is all the way it should be and thank YOU for taking the time to read this. We are all brothers and sisters and as we heal ourselves we heal our brothers and sisters, as well as the past and future and this planet!!✌💕
Don't feel bad for having to take man made medication if you have to. I don't believe one should have to suffer for endless months , putting there body through more harm if just a few weeks of traditional antibiotics could actually completely get rid of the infection. H pylori can literally be cured within a few weeks of antibiotic treatment. It's not a failure to have to go that route. I completely understand wanting to go a natural route before synthetic medications. You tried very hard and for a very long time . I hope you get to feeling better soon! Sometime we need a combination of alternative and traditional medications and there is nothing wrong with healing your body that way if that's what it takes. Take care and heal well
I don't understand the idea that just because something is natural that it is better for you. There are plenty of things that are natural that can wreak havoc on the body. Either way, one is attempting to change their body chemistry, whether the medications are synthetic or natural. The difference is, synthetic medications have been through rigorous testing, whereas natural medications have not.

Thank you for updating us, I was wondering how everything was going 💜 I agree with the comments above and I also see your goal and point of trying to honor your body through natural methods. I'm always looking for the least invasive and at times non medical way of dealing with pain or sickness. However, there is a time to find healing in medicine so never feel bad for taking s path of traditional medicine as well. 💊
Phoenix and Veena thank you for your support. I won't feel bad if I end up taking what I've been avoiding. And all the people around me can say I told ya so. But for me it's about the journey not about being right. Its about learning that mother earth has a plethora of herbs to heal us, we have just wandered so far away. I'm currently still in my course for healing fatigue and overwhelm. Its helping me on a deeper level. Stress is the worst food! I am not into a quick fix it it does not get to the root. Others may be. I have learned I am seprate from my pain and have gained beautiful insights and life lessons by giving myself the chance to heal instead of letting the world shove their crap at me , like I always have. Again thank you ladies. I am proof that anything is possible, so are you all.
I wanted to mention I did take care of the h Pylori with mastic gum, and a 102 count probiotic, manuka honey and boswellia. That was my last treatment and when I saw my new doctor the other day it was not a problem. this will be here to help the next guy or gal that looks for an answer here. The thing listed here were things I chose to try after doing research and speaking with 2 naturalists in my town. Honestly. where there is a will there is a way:)
Poleisnewtome. Its hard to accept something we don't understand. Maybe that's where your disconnect is. Either way no one way is right for everyone. I may be deathly ill had I have taken an antibiotic for something when there is a bigger picture happening. So thanks for chiming in but that wasnt very supportive ! I some here for support and I accept whatever may be. Do you feel that was a helpful thing to say to me ? I really am not looking for your response. I also need to remember not everyone thinks like me and not everyone talks with a heart at their tongue. I will understand natural and man made medicine more as I live. I am the experiment for me. Not the other statistics.
Wow. Stefana, I do not understand your negative reaction to my comment. There is absolutely nothing I said in my comment that was speaking with a "heart on my tongue." You say you are not looking for my comment, yet you post your dilemma on an open forum where people are allowed to post their opinions. You went on about how you were reluctant to take antibiotics, and I responded with factual information. I am sorry what I said wasn't what you wanted to hear. I did not insult you in any way so I don't understand why your reaction was so full of negativity.
And that's still your opinion. You said nothing positive. Please just let it be now. The others posting have been participating in my life the last year and then you just pop on to say what feels good to you. The only reason there's no reasearch behind natural is there's no money in it. That is also my opinion. Of this thread turns negative I will delete it. I don't need drama. I need support. Maybe this isn't the place for it.
Again, there was no drama in my comment, but that is how you choose to interpret it. If you don't like my comment, just ignore it. There are others who responded similarly to what I said, yet you didn't react in the same way. I am actually confused by your reaction. Anyway, I hope you feel better soon, whichever pathway you choose.
See that last comment had niceness to it. Thank you. Others actually said they support me either way. You said you don't understand it. So ya open to interpretation. Just wondering what you thought your comment would do for me. Because it made me upset. I'm actually thinking about deleting it all together because my feelings and life are important and I have always felt safe to share here. But I know the truth. People are mean. Thnaks again.
The whole reason behind this post was for support through a trying time for me. I guess I forget the negative is always there too.
