Initial positive response to SpecificCarbohydrateDiet begun July 08 with rapid loss of 15 lbs (weighed only 134 lbs. before), all in abdomen. Then flare-up of all GI and bladder pain, bloating, constriction,constipation, gas, little sleep, when voids mucousy, were cloudy, but just changed to clear. So I discovered Dr. David Klein's Self Healing and been doing that about one week. Good energy, no hunger, but the flare-up begun three weeks ago persists. Can't do drugs, herbs, supplements so TENS unit saving my life from resorting to drugs I would regret, but anyone know how to ease this pain more to where I can concentrate on life and get some sleep and/or how long it should take to feel better on this otherwise so far satisfactory and appealing diet? p.s. my doc's sympathetic, but knows only Rxing drugs and he's the best I can do with my ins.
