alias_sqbrBefore I forget:
I went to the doctor again, my test results came back low-but-just-within-normal for Vitamin D and something similar (low or high?) for ANA.
It turns out that colloidal minerals did not mean silver, but actual useful minerals like potassium etc, in the form of concentrated sea water. This stuff tastes really odd (a bit like salted licorice) but I've found it makes a nice addition to savoury sauces. I should check with him if that's an ok alternative to drinking it :D (vitamins etc I wouldn't do that too, but these are metals, they're hardly going to degrade)
He seemed pleasantly suprised that I was having an improvement so fast.
He said fermented soy (ie soy sauce) is probably ok (THANK GOD) but mainly went on a little rant about GM soy which I nodded and smiled through (it's not like I'm going to eat it either way...). He said there's no way to tell if trace amounts of gluten etc will affect me very severely except by comparing my health with them and without them, which is kind of annoying but what can you do. I think I'll wait to get really picky about that sort of thing until after christmas or there'll be no end of angst with my mum's cooking.

Date: 2008-12-01 01:27 pm (UTC)Usually is best to wait until after a strange period to do full scale assaults, but never hurts to be careful/start preperation prior to it. I'm about to start taking a fair amount of notes on my diet/daily happenings/etc to try and work out what's up with me. (finally got my tests back and suprisingly they told me very little we didn't already know, and just cancelled out a couple of things)
