Congratulations & continued success, Elizabeth. It sounds like you've experienced some radical healing!

Like you, I take high potency enzymes and literally vive le difference. Everyday, my hair is fuller, glossier. My skin looks copper kissed. I'm following a high protein, high greens diet. My mood, my energy is so much improved. My D is pretty stabilized by following a modified specific carb diet--quite paleo/neaderthol, or BARF, I suppose.

I'm interested in some of your recipes! I'm eating lots of egg whites (a guaranteed protein success with me! i always know that they'll stay down!) & fish when I feel 'safe.' (I love TUNA & shrimp/shellfish, tilapia, cod, sole, turbot...)

May I email you for some notes/tips?

My green sauces/monsters take on a new meaning. The first time I tried them in an egg white frittata I was in ECSTASY!!! Garlicky Goddess Green beans are a favourite tuna topper--it's basically green beans, lots of garlic, and tons of herbs (i.e. basil or dill...) with a twist of lemon. I don't eat chicken. (I have no desire to...except when I'm sick. I'd have to put it in the food processor because my teeth are so crappy) I avoid starches & grains. They violently just disagree with me and won't stay down--even with NEXIUM. I have a personal ingrained ideology/programming that grains are bad. Don't worry, I'm not preaching or advocating a thing. I just do what works for me, in the here and the now, which is constantly in flux, perpetually revolution, evolution.

It's encouraging to read your energized update.

Kate.
