Hi Zara,
Went today. She was really good, and had me on magnesium supplements within a couple of minutes of listening to my symptoms (esp. pain, cramping and constipation) - she was stoked to hear I'd already started.
She's given me a diet to follow according to my blood type, which I know people think is crazy but right now I'm willing to try it. It's pretty normal actually, no meat, no dairy, and all other kinds of foods are separated into "beneficial, neutral, avoid". Which is cool by me.
I have to cut wheat (but not gluten), she said straight up the cellulose is too hard for me to digest, but lots of other wholegrains are fine, oatmeal included. Lots of the avoid foods I don't eat anyway.
Also for two weeks I'm on no sugar and no fruit; I'm taking colloidal minerals, and drinking a mixture of slippery elm, green clay and sea salt with water twice a day. This is for a kind of cleanse. It's great to have someone talking about healing my bowel. In the meantime I'm getting some more diagnostic tests done and in two weeks we'll start tweaking the diet more, and letting fruit back in!!!
Anyway; it's not strictly the EFI but I can still work with those same principles and around the list of foods I'm allowed. She emphasised to focus on what I can eat rather than what I can't. Most things fall into the former. If I hadn't already cut dairy and red meat it would be a bigger change, and wheat I can say goodbye to easily.
I'd recommend seeing a naturopath if you're open-minded about searching for treatment options, definitely.
Cheers!
Jodie
