Bad Flare!

I've been in treatment for a year. My symptoms have been SO much better. And then last week, I started a terrible flar that has lasted a week and is still going. I know it started because I ate a banana (List 5), which I thought was on List 4 (which I"m on.). But I don't see how I could STILL be flaring from that. Boaz put me on Goldenseal, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something similar at this point in treatment. I'm really discouraged. I thought the days of these kind of long, intense flares were over. :(

Oh NO! I am so sorry! Take heart that you have been doing so much better., This is just a temporary blip and you WILL feel better! Bananas are so high in potassium and I am sure some people need to stay away forever. This will pass.

Hi Melinda,

 

I hope you're feeling better- just wanted to say that I remember having a very bad flare many years ago from eating a banana, they are really hard on us.  Hang in there and you'll be better soon.
