Hi, Lisa. So glad to meet you officially! Feel free to email me personally by clicking on my name -- which is in orange -- above this post.
Interesting that you notice that the problems are worse when you overeat. I have had swollen fingers, ankles and knees for the last three days, after about two weeks of eating mostly crap -- I was packing up our house and then on the road moving it, and you know how you eat in that instance -- frozen stuff, chips, salty stuff, sweet stuff. You kind of throw healthy habits out the window, at least I did. And I think I must be suffering for it now.
Wondering, do you or did you ever drink a lot of diet soda? I did and do, and am trying to cut it out of my diet now. I miss the caffeine, but I drank a lot of soda this weekend too and I know all that sodium isn't good for me.
I have no allergies that I know of, so we don't have that in common, but I've never really heard of low-grade food allergies; is it possible to have some without knowing it?
What doctor did you start with when you started looking into all this?
Ironically, yesterday I was answering a question about inflammation, and went searching for information on natural supplements and foods that help inflammation. If you are interested, here's that thread:
