Well for most of you girls and boys who know me and what I am going through with cold hands and feet, weight loss, constipation, undigested food, bladder pain and urine frequency, chemical sensitivities, hair loss, food intolerances and allergies, my naturopath called me yesterday and said that my mercury test came back and that I was real high in mercury toxicity. So next off to the dentist to get my almagams removed and start detoxing my body to see if I can beat this illness and candida overgrowth that was brought up by the mercury. At least part of my questions have been answered.

My mom was diagnosed with high level of lead and mercury about 6 mos ago. She went thru Dr after Dr trying to find out what was wrong. She has been taking a med that you take 3days a week...it really hurt her tummy--she's done with it now and she feels better. Her Dr told her that she could have past it on to her children. ?? I haven't gotten tested yer. Don't really want to add anything else right now. I know what your going thru--my mom was miserable.Comment

Re: heavy metal test
Hi tabasco32, can you please tell me what you took for heavy metal chelation. Was it calcium EDTA? I'm getting tested in a few weeks.Diagnosed Nov 2012 after birth of my daughter. I feel like IVF hormone injections triggered my debilitating IC symptoms, but that I had it mildly even before that and didn't realize it.
Currently taking daily: probiotics, licorice root, vitex, vitaminB12, thyraxis, D3, Calcium/Magnesium, permeability factors, digestive enzymes. Nightly castor oil packs on my abdomen. I follow the IC diet, anti-inflammatory diet, gluten and dairy-free (most of the time), with as much organic, local food as possible.
My approach is to try to get to the root of the problem, which according to everything I've read, is probably centered in the gut (read, chronic constipation my whole adult life). I have a list of things to try and keep checking things off my list. My inspiration has been Wendy Cohan's Better Bladder Book.Comment
