I, too, hope it's not gluten or dairy, Flavia.

I've had the bodily 'awakening' on many levels as I've aged. No sensitivities entire life! Now, we triage the chronic this and chronic that. Very frustrating for an immensely healthy person, now 72, the only exceptions having been (severe) asthma as a child and a hysterectomy at age 30.

Continue being gentle with yourself and let us know how you are.

I'm terribly sorry you're enduring this along with the other very trying life circumstances. It's not an easy ride. Allowing your gut to heal, giving yourself a mental break, doing that "self care" thing -- all are good medicine! Pure aloe vera juice is a wonderful gut healer, along with quality probiotics. And meditation. I'm a type 1 diabetic, and I sometimes accuse my body of trying other kill me on a daily basis- lol. ;) However, our bodies are indeed wondrous creations, so I strive to do what is best for it, know there will always be problems.... and just seek the gratitude I can find in each day. Be gentle on yourself! Sending you a warm hug with wishes for steady improvement in every way that you need it! xo

I’m so sorry this is happening to you. I went through a very similar scenario last summer. Hopefully you get answers soon!

Update :)

Blood tests are perfect, as is the abdominal ultrasound. This is a temporary inflammation that I am treating by drinking a mallow infusion every morning on an empty stomach. It really is much better! Thank you to all of you who have written and sent me messages of comfort and affection. Love, Flavia
