I was feeling crummy all the time too. I've blamed SO many things for causing reactions when in reality I had no idea if it was that food or stress or something else. I was having daily D, had no idea what it meant to feel "well". For me well is not TOO many pains and cramps and not too bad D (going once or twice instead of heaps more). When I found this site I tried the "what to eat when you can't eat anything" diet and I got WORSE, WAY worse. Now it's about 8 months down the track and I finally wondered why that was. It seemed weird that all I was really eating was wheat and water and I was worse. So I thought about what I ate in a day and realised wheat for breakfast, wheat for lunch, wheat based something for dinner so I wondered if all I was eating was a trigger food? So I decided to cut it out. Are you still eating anything other than wheat which MIGHT be triggering a reaction? Have you tried the what to eat when you can't eat anything diet? I buy my Slippery Elm from the HFS but I can also get a digestive powder which is a combination of slippery elm and peppermint powder from the chemist. If you ask at the HFS for it they might have it. It can be called by a few different names. The link you gave me looks okay but I'm not sure about some of the ingredients. I'll ask Linz to take a look, she knows a lot more about this sort of stuff than I do. The only multi I've ever been able to take is one without iron and I couldn't take the full dose or it cramped me up. I'm now on one my naturopath gave me and I take a quarter dose of it every day (it comes in a powder so you can alter the dose to suit) but I'm not sure if it's doing any good at such a low dose. Here is a link to the aloe vera juice that I take. If you google it, it is available in the US. Good luck and let me know how you go.
