HouseCall: Next Steps, Pinguecula, Bromine Rash, Gluten & Dairy, Swollen After Exercise
Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Let’s get started!
Anonymous: Hello… I’ve done the FM detox, followed by CBO and now on my 3rd month of CBO finisher… I have fibromyalgia and thought that my symptoms would subside but they didn’t… I also still have arthritis pain in my fingers, and all other chronic pain that moves around in my body without any logic to it… I also still have a white coating on my tongue and vaginal thrush, sometimes it gets very itchy and smelly, I guess it depends on what time in the month it is depending on my period… I was following the protocols and diet (I eat quite healthy anyway)… Do you have any suggestions? Why am I not feeling better after? What to do now?
Kayla: Hi, I was wondering if you’ve ever helped anyone with Pinguecula. I’ve seen the eye doctor and they said there is nothing to get rid of it, just to wear glasses and use eye drops. I eat paleo, am on a prenatal, magnesium, probiotic, omegas, and workout regularly. I’m trying to heal menstrual problems right now, but other than that I am healthy. Any advice would be awesome! Thank you!
Andrea: Hi Dr. Cabral! I was hoping you could help me with this reaction my daughter is having every time she gets into a hot tub treated with bromine. Her skin breaks out in a rash that is similar to eczema. It is extremely painful, and itchy, and is all over her torso, back, arms, and legs. The rash persists for 4 to 6 weeks at a time, depending on the severity. This reaction only happens in hot tubs treated with bromine, not as much with chlorine. Have you ever seen this before? Would you recommend us do the heavy metals test, and maybe the stress and mood test for her thyroid? What else? Thank you in advance for answering this question.
Hope: I recently got diagnosed with hypothyroidism and osteoporosis. I took Prilosec for over 20 yrs. I hear from different MD’s that gluten and dairy is a NO. My questions are: 1…is fermented milk ok?Like Kefir, yogurt? 2…is gluten di to the new GMO wheat? Are ancient grains ok to consume? 3..I also hear No to rice potatoes, oatmeal, and coconut oil. I consume these products regularly. Please, help me with this frustrating and confusing subject. Thanks.
Erin: This happens to me when i have been active a lot the day before…I wake up feeling puffy and swollen. I know I’ve consumed plenty of electrolytes that day before so what would Cause this? What can I do to prevent this? I really appreciate the input!
