Lately I've been having problems with my digestive system. I always feel bloated and gassy and rarely have a strong appetite. I'll get really nauseous a couple of days then just back to feeling bloated, gassy, and sick. Sometimes I'll get diarrhea, other times I'm lucky to go at all. At first I thought it could have been milk 'cause I'd only get sick after drinking milk. Now, it's more prolonged, so I don't think it's lactose intoloerance. So I've been considering fiber, probiotics like acidophilus, and maybe even trying that danactive yougurt challenge?

Anyone else have any thoughts/suggestions?

I know it is a kind of drug-free therapy. I am interested in finding solutions to my problems without drugs. I am a chronic insomniac plagued with other physical problems as a result of years of my anxiety and constant worries.

I am having these multiple gall bladder stones since June 2006.I had been advised surgery which i am not so keen on. Ihave been getting terrible pain just below my ribs and i have shown to 2-3 doctors who all said (key-hole) surgery is the only alternative. The doctor said i could even collapse due to the pain. I have been taking pain-killers when ever the pain occurs. I am in Oman but my friend from India suggested i eat a particular leaf for 25-30 days with a black pepper in it. That friend had a kidney stone and now it has gone. Aso she said that drinking 5-6 litres of water would help flush out the stone along with some vegetables and and milk/ products that have to be avoided. Now i would like to ask
1. are the medications same for both the kidney stone and the gall bladder stone
2. what are the foods to be avoided in case of gall stones
3. what other alternative to surgery -I will be doing the Dr. Hulda Clark's" Liver Cleanse and Gallbladder Flush, any help

my blood pressure has been running fairly high - I'm recovering from a spinal injury and I have had nerve pain for 4 years. on top of that I lost my job, my mother, my wife and now my dog. I follow a low fat vegan diet. I'm probably about 40 pounds overweight I'd guess. I'm a big muscular guy - I try my best to eat healthy and exercise daily. - things I've done natural - apple cider vinegar, vitamins, antioxidants - garlic - celery seed flax oil and I don't know of anything else that helps. thanks

I am vegan, and I am also interested in natural and homeopathic remedies for minor ailments. However, I have two concerns:

1) I understand some homeopathic remedies are animal extracts or animal-based.
2) I have yet to see homeopathic pills that don't have lactose (milk) in them.

So which remedies are animal ingredients and which are plants, and are there companies that make homeopathic tablets without animal ingredients?

Thanks!

I'm just wondering if there are any Alexander Technique teacher-trainees (or even serious students) on here. If so, would you guys be interested in exchanging emails and stuff about what you're experiencing in your classes or lessons?

Just curious. :)

All you really need to say it that you believe in it or you don't. I'm just curious about how many people do believe in it versus the number of people who don't. Thanks
