Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hello everyone! My name is Pamela and I'm new to this group. There sure are a lot of knowledgeable people posting here! What's going on with me is, about 3 weeks ago I went to a Naturopathic doctor who diagnosed me with hypoglycemia and anemia and put me on a special diet and gave me lots of suppliments to take. I really enjoy the new diet, which is basically fruit and veggies with hardly even any grains. At first it was hard, then I discovered I could make great smoothie type blender drinks and now I love it. I'm mixing the suppliments, protien powder, and flax seed along with juices, raw veggies and frozen fruit and making one heck of a power drink. HOWEVER...a few days ago I started getting some acne like eruptions on my chest and now it looks like I have the measles! My entire chest, shoulders and upper back is covered with something that looks like a rash of big ol red pimples. It's showing no sign of slowing down; it's absolutely hideous but not particularly itchy or anything. Could this be a result of my new diet? I will greatly appreciate ANY ideas or information anyone is willing to share with me!!!! Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hi Pamela, Are you drinking alot of water?? Sometimes when we change our diet and start taking supplements to help rid our body of toxins, if we don't drink enough water the toxins have no where to go...so they erupt on our skin..this has happened to me (on my face), not as badly as what you are saying...but it did happen. Also, now that you are giving your liver a break, lots of toxins will be coming out of it, so you want to make sure you are drinking tons of water to try and flush them out. Take your weight and divide by 2 and that is the number our ounces you should drink a day... If it doesn't start to subside, I would just go back to you naturopath make sure that it is not something more... To good health, Shanta , " opalobsidian <all2much@l...> " <all2much@l...> wrote: > Hello everyone! > > My name is Pamela and I'm new to this group.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Sounds like an allergy to something external. Maybe the diet is lacking in something that keeps people from breaking out there. It could be the supplements, I suppose, because people who are allergic to penicillin seem to break out in the bronchial tubes. Maybe one of the supplements makes people break out torso-wise. The soylent in the veggies caused two large, red patches on my inner forearms, just above the wrists, the entire three months that I was in produce on my first job...many, many years ago >sniff<. Ask you Naturopathic doctor his/her opinion. Everybody's got one. Was you email address inspired by a Beatles song?

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hello Pamela, I think you should go get a diagnosis from a medical doctor. It sounds like a severe allergic reaction and such reactions can become more severe if they restrict the airways. Once you have a diagnosis, you can look into alternative approaches if you want, but I really think you should get a diagnosis in case it's something contagious; also, because with no intervention it can get worse and be harder to treat than if you begin treatment now.

Guest guest Posted January 8, 2003 Report Share Posted January 8, 2003 Hi Pamela I would think this is a result of your new diet which is detoxifying. I think it will calm down and stop once your body has cleansed sufficiently. Your diet sounds excellent to me. Good luck. Jo - opalobsidian <all2much Wednesday, January 08, 2003 4:53 AM Help!
