Guest guest Posted March 8, 2004 Report Share Posted March 8, 2004 I was very disapointed with some herbal remedies I have recently tried, fennel and peppermint drops and dandelion coffee. Both were revolting to my taste buds and made me feel quite sick.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Dear Katrina, It is quite understandable. Our taste buds were designed to protect us from eating unripe and unwholesome foods, so that we don't ingest such foods. But, there are some literally bitter medicines that are good for restoration of health. Even modern medicine has some preparations that are revolting in taste. One has to close the nose and just swallow! Anyway, pl. use any herbal supplements with caution. If your system is unable to tolerate them, you need to check out alternatives. I noticed that you are in UK. If so, Homeopathy and Bach Flowers are good option. If you need any specific help, pl. do write to me off- line.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 I threw the coffe away and the fennel and peppermint drops are in my medicine cabinet. The directions on the drops was to take so many drops at a specific time but there was a small measuring cup supplied which to me didn't make sense. My bloating is showing little sign of abating so far, I have been moved home now since January 16th. I am planning to get myself a bike when the weather gets warmer and if this has no effect I will have to see someone about it. I still feel there is a strong chance that I have acites. I am now 11 stone and normally go around 9 and a half. Katrina In holistic-health , " S.V.Swamy " <truthseeker123x> wrote: > > Anyway, pl. use any herbal supplements with caution.

Guest guest Posted March 10, 2004 Report Share Posted March 10, 2004 Dear Katrina, A measurement of BMI (Body Mass Index) will tell you whether it is fat or fluid, that has caused the weight gain. If it is fluid, yes, it could be Ascites or Edema. Is the renal function normal? Can be relatively easily checked by - measuring the urine output in 24 hours, - serum creatinine test and - BUN test. If these are normal, a LFT, a liver function test may be in order. It is always essential to understand the underlying cause, unless, you are going the pure homeopathy route, where you, as a person is the focus of treatment and Ascites as a symptom is probably last. And a good 'homeopathic' remedy, that is a remedy which matches, the patient's symptoms with its own provings, resolves physical complaints, without the why element. Best wishes.

Guest guest Posted March 11, 2004 Report Share Posted March 11, 2004 This is very interesting, my partner says it is fat but as it wobbles and feels so soft I am sure it is fluid. I think gettting this done must be the first step to sorting this out once and for all. How do I get this BMI test, will I have to go to my GP? I dont mind going if it is something that they will do for me.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2004 Report Share Posted March 12, 2004 Dear Katrina, Yes, going to GP will be the right thing to do. Either they will be able to do themselves or refer you to another. I am not sure exactly how it is done, but it refers to the ratio of muscle and fat. And a good doctor will of course know whether it is muscle, fat or fluid.
