Hi - I know, I know...I haven't posted in a long time. But I'm trying something new to me so I have to ask you "guys" if you've ever done it and stuck with it and given it enough time to see if it worked.
I got acquainted with Nature's Sunshine products by going to a seminar a few Saturdays ago and found out a lot of interesting stuff. In fact, I sent our Queen Mum (Heather, of course) the CD on Colon in Crisis, which was very mind expanding, to say the least! So I decided to try some of their products with the help of my niece who is a Master Herbalist, Kinesiologist, Iridologist, Clinical Nutritionist, BTA Tech (Biological Terrain Assessment), performs Emotional Release, does mechanical adjustments and uses the Photon SoundBeam. Of course, you also have to eat right.
Well, since I've been doing things she instructed me on and taking pre and probiotics, food enzymes, bioflavinoids, irritable bowel fiber (their formula), etc., and have been eating broccoli, raisin bran, oranges, apples (sans skin), mangoes, pears (sans skin), dried fruits (apricots, peaches, dates--haven't tried the figs yet), along with carbohydrates and chicken, fish, salads and occasionally organic beef, I have felt so much better, both energy-wise and gut-wise. I still let gas go, but not as often and the "stools" (in my case "bupkas") are getting softer and they want out of my body more times a day than just once! And I've been drinking herb teas all day--licorice root, red raspberry, decaf green tea w/lemon grass, camomile, peppermint--all brewed together and I use honey and Stevia as sweeteners. Trying to get off the artificial stuff. My husband just looks at me in disbelief, but as long as I don't "stink" him out of the bedroom (or any room for that matter), he doesn't care what I do as long as I can conquer this thing!
When I first started, the gas was levitating me about 3" off the floor and at about 5 mph around the store. Now, it's happening less and less. I guess my gut is getting used to all the new stuff I'm sending down.
So, you guys and gals out there in IBS Land, have any of you ever tried this approach and if so, what results did you get, if any? And, did you stick with it and give it enough time or get disgusted the first week, like I almost did?
Thanks for your responses. Sorry this post was so long, but you know me!!
