Global Idealism

last update may 19??? oops. went to a nutritionist/doctor a few days ago to see what was going on with my stomach/bowel issues. turns out i have bacteria and parasites in my stomach from the water in peru. poor digestive system has caused malabsorption, which means my body hasnt been getting any nutrients that ive been putting in and has gone into “starvation protection” mode and hanging on to any possible fat, which explains why its been very hard to lose weight! sooo turns out the digestive and malabsorption issues have caused a thyroid deficiency —> fatigue, hair loss, ear wax, low energy, excessive sweating. all my symptoms now make sense! so she put me on 7 different supplements/pills to take 3 times a day and an extremely strict diet for THREE MONTHS. all my meals are pre planned and weighed, eat 5 times a day, no wheat, no sugar, no yeast, no processed foods, no hydrogenated fats, no dairy, NO beer. now for the good news: WEIGHT LOSS BABY. and emily coincidentally has the same thing that she picked up in uruguay so we are on the same pills and same exact diet … convenient for turkey.
