The results from the IGA test are in. Here is how I did. The range they are looking for it between 51-215. My naturopath said she would likes to see it in the hundreds. I scored a whopping 15. What does it mean? Not quite sure. What little I know is it means that I have no mucus lining my gut and keeping large food particles from entering into my blood stream. Those particles are considered foreigners to my body, which triggers an immune reaction and bogs down my liver function. That would be why I feel so much better with the liver detox tea. For right now that is all I know. She is not going to change anything until the blood test results are in.
In the mean time, I seem to be plugging along. The only thing I really struggling with is starvation. I don't know how to describe it. I am always eating and always famished. It literally feels like my body is never satisfied with what I give it. I have been trying protein drinks to see if that will help. It has not. So I just keep eating and eating. It does not seem to change the scale.
What I really don't like or understand is the evolution of the whole thing. This is not part of the original symptoms, this is new. In my fairy tale once we addressed and took care of the original symptoms I should have been able to pick up my life where I left off and lived happily ever after.
That is not the case. I just keep reminding myself that I am so much better then when I could not get out of bed for days on in. If I could have seen that I was going to get this much better then I would have been happy. Now I am here and I want something more...The grass it always greener on the other side. I need to spend more time counting my blessings.
