I am having a challenging time moving from List one to List two. Everything seems to set off flaring, although I do wonder if I ate nothing, I would still have problems.  It is a real treat for me to have a salad (iceberg lettuce, celery and olive oil) and have eaten one a day for several days..no change in any other food. The symptoms gradually got worse after lunch and carried over for rest of day and overnight. Yesterday I left out the olive oil (mixed some cooked broccoli, melted butter and a bit of water for dressing ....I can tolerate these) and reacted less.

I have just found out that London Drugs on Vancouver Island is now carrying Arrowhead Spring water....it's in 15L bottles...hooray!

I am getting concerned about sore and inflamed gums. I have been telling myself this is more die-off, but it has been a week with no improvement and am beginning to fear dental work. Has anyone else had this problem. This is in one area only....Every strange and returning symptom, I am learning to welcome as a sign of healing...hope this is one too..lois

I have been away for several months and am now home to stay for awhile. 
I would like t take part in the next support forum and am wondering if here is a step by step formula to hook up electronically. My cellphone plan won't allow this, but I have a Mac and hope that will be possible. Any tips or info would be appreciated.  Lois 

does anyone ever use saunas, and if so do u find them helpful? ive never used one but have heard good things about them and wonder if matia thinks its ok?

Has anyone had pain after / not able to tolerate manicures?  I don't even get mine done in a salon -- do it at home -- and with non-toxic plant-based brand No Miss -- but still think I might be reacting afterwards.  Sometimes it's hard to say as my normal pain level is up and down.  Also hard to believe as I had IC for years and never noticed any problems after manicures (my trigger was always sex)... so I'm wondering if Dr. B's treatment makes the body more sensitive and thus susceptible?

Has anyone else experienced problems with adding in vitamin d?  I seem to be going through a bit of a flare with bladder burning.  I went through the same with the fish oil which I am finally now able to tolerate.  Feeling a little frustrated by this.

hey everyone. right now im really worrying myself. i have been feeling really puffy/swollen all over. my hands arms ankles and legs. its a really weird feeling. i asked matia about this and she thinks it has to do with the large intestine. i just need some comfort in knowing that maybe others have experienced this, its quite weird and scary:(

has anyone ever had their asymptomatic husband/partner test positive for bacteria? if so, what kind of protocol did matia put him/her on? my husband just got tested (on matia's suggestion) and turns out he does indeed have a bacteria (staphalococcus coagulase negative - if that means anything to anyone!). well, matia and i haven't yet talked about the protocol for him, but really hoping he doesn't have to do anything as strict as we do. that would be really tough to get him to do, especially since he is asymptomatic. anyway, just curious what your experiences have been with this.

hey all. i was wondering if anyone has problems with hypoglycemia and insulin issues? i think i may have some issues with these b/c i always am very hungry for carbs and get shaky. i forgot to metion this to matia, am waiting for my next appointment, but if anyone has an information on this and if it will go away during the healing process? thanks!
