Let the healing begin

After a lengthy meeting with my Naturopath on Thursday, I came home with a very specific and aggressive plan to get my health back on track. It turns out that I have a significant allergy to dairy that has caused a slew of other issues including anemia, the tanking of my immune system and the relapse of Esptein Barr. The latest bloodwork showed problems with both my thyroid and adrenal glands which the doctor explained stems from the non-absorpion of nutrients from all the food I eat. I also tested positive for a mutated Celiac gene that makes my susceptibility to the disease much higher throughout my life. Now that we've established the root of all the problems, fixing it should be easy, right?!? Think again! With a lot of help and support, it's going to take several weeks to get all the dairy out of my system and restore my stomach lining. For the first week, I am on a structured plan of supplements, shakes and powders with nuts, veggies and meats as the only allowable food. It's definitely not easy, but I've committed to whatever it takes to get me back on my bike. I'll post more updates throughout the upcoming weeks but until the bad is gone and the good slowly gets replenished, it's going to be a rough and difficult road to recovery. Stay tuned!
