I live in the New York City area and would like to see someone in regards to my 12 years feeling of near syncope. I have associated it with oily, fatty or gassy foods. I have done colonoscopies, Upper endoscopies, MRIs, I have seen a Cardiologist, Endocrinologists, Urologist and Neurologists, all types of blood work and everything comes back normal. It all started a day or two while still in the hospital for a hysterectomy and has continued throughout the years, sometimes on a daily basis for months on end. My only ease is when I try eating only bland foods and the same food every day. One neurologist that my Primary Care Physician referred me to suggested that I should try some medication for Abdominal epilepsy, it just so happened that I had a very bad case of poison ivy at the time and was not able to start the medication. I just saw another GI doctor who indicated that I may be suffering from lack of good bacteria in my intestines from antibiotics given after my surgery 12 years ago. one day ago she started me on Probiotic Florastor, which am to take for two weeks. I saw a nutritionist yesterday who suggested taking Beano but I have decided not to at the moment..waiting to see whether the Florastor will work.

I am really desperate now because my whole social life depends on how and what I eat. My near syncope always starts right after my stomach feels messed up and sometimes last for hours after which am tired and drained. Also, I have noticed that when this happens and I move my bowels(which most times I have from 2-6 bowel movements) even after having a full meal, I am then totally hungry like I have not eaten for days. The bowel movement does not bother me as much as the near syncope feeling. I work but I have stopped going for walks by myself because am afraid of actually passing out(which incidentally has never happened over the 12 years with this condition, but I am afraid).

I need your opinion..I just happened to come across your book last night and bought it…The food Allergy Cure. Not sure why but I bought it because I had never heard of you before. I was reading one of the stories of the 81 year old(Betsy) woman and saw the part of her always having to constantly eat to avoid feeling lethargic or faint and that’s exactly how I feel. So if there is anyway that you can help me I would very much appreciate.

After taking Gastric Ease since 15 Nov 07 as recommended which is more than a month ago, my mouth ulcer especially on the gums, are still not healed. If they do they will take a long time (slightly more than a month), although now I don’t feel so painful.

I am still taking prednisolone (3mg) a day under my immunologist instruction. Though she doesn’t believe a person can suffer from enzyme deficiency, she didn’t say anything even when I told her I was taking enzymes which helped me to relieve my indigestion.

It looks like I’m also suffering from protein/fat as well as carbohydrate intolerances. When I went through the questionnaires on Protein/Fat intolerance from your book “MicroMiracles” I have the following answers:

1) Bloating immediately after meals or within 2 hours (But now not so severe, though have some burping even taking Gastric Ease before meals and in between meals)

2) Chronic digestion symptoms including constipation

3) Osteoporosis (My doctor prescribed etidronate disodium and calcuim tablets)

4) A tendency toward outbreaks of canker sores.

5) Respiratory problems such as coughing & slight breathlessness after meals.

Do you think I should take protease together with carbohydrate enzymes as well?

I had gone through X-Ray, Ultrasound, Endoscopy and all proved negative. Later next month I’m going for colonoscopy as recommended by doctor.

Thanks

I am greatly influenced by your work. I am currently suffering from indigestion and acne. I am based in London and have ordered your home treatment kit and enzymes and will start treatments soon. Can the home treatment help me resolve my conditions completely? Do you have any practitioner in London trained by you who uses your biomeridian test?

I first suffered from IBS when I was 10 years old. The doctors originally thought it was a food allergy so I tried different diets for years which never really worked, until finally I went to a Chinese Herbalist who completely changed my life.

He told me the IBS was from tension in my stomach. He gave me some herbs which calmed the stress in my stomach down and cooled my body, it worked. I went from waking up in the middle of the night every couple of weeks with diarrhea, nausea almost every morning and bloating and stomach cramps a lot to absolutely no symptoms at all.

Now I’m 27 I rarely need the herbs any more but I still get IBS symptoms when I’m very tense or stressed.

Not everyone gets it because different people feel stress in different ways or in different areas of their body.

I think IBS is probably brought on by different reasons by I also think stress and tension is a big one.

I am so sorry to hear about your situation. I have a 17 year old, so I can completely empathize with you. Have you tried an enzyme? It sounds as though you have some food sensitivities and an enzyme may be extremely helpful. Otherwise we do have BioSET practitioners all over the United States who may be extremely helpful. Where do you live?
