Any Insight Into What These Symptoms May Be From?

Posted By Brenda (Placerville, Ca) on 05/26/2011

My 19 year old daughter has been sick for several years. Her symptoms started around 15, shortness of breath was the beginning. Doctor put her on an inhaler for a couple of years, didn't help and made her jittery. Digestive issues started around 17. Doctor thought GERD, put her on protonics, didn't help. At 19 her symptoms are shortness of breath, digestive issues, constipation, muscle aches in arms and legs, abdominal pain, hair loss, insomnia and weight gain. She seems to be getting worse.

She has had numerous test: Endoscopy, thyroid ultrasound, cat scan, xray of lungs and heart, hida scan and ultrasound of gallbladder, barium test, gastric stomach emptying, breathing test and blood test. All with normal results.

She recently did a juice detox, which didn't make her feel better or worse. I have her trying ACV and after 1 week no difference.

She was tested for Lyme, came back negative, which doesn't always mean negative. I am thinking of having her try Himalayan salt and apple polyphenols. I am thinking if she feels worse it would be a sign of Lymes bacteria leaving her system. Herx symptoms?

If anyone has any ideas based on her symptoms, I would appreciate any and all feedback.

I read an article about low stomach acid and what can happen. There seem to be many ailments associated with low stomach acid, including many you describe. The article is at the link below

I had most of those symptoms when I was diagnosed with Barrett's Esophogus. The acid from my stomach made its way up and into my lungs, giving me asthma. But you had her tested for that...

I would still do what I did... Juice aloe vera (just filet the inside - no outer leaf) and mix it with some water with a hand blender. Take digestive enzymes, eat more raw veggies, drink ACV with baking soda and water. B vitamins are always good and some lavendar essential oil rubbed on her chest will bring calm.

Forgot to mention to take magnesium (double dose it according to RDA). This will help with constipation and muscle pains.

Ted often says that our issues could just be an issue of balance... With ph, vitamins or minerals, or it could be a bacteria or parasite.

brenda, could it possibly be low magnesium?
