Gyl Rae. Digestive disorder.

In early 2004 I started to have really bad problems with feeling nauseous, vomiting, gas, bloating and lack of energy. This has continued on and off for the past four years. There was months on end, where I was being sick every time I ate and drank. This left me with no energy; I was irritable, had no focus and found it hard to sleep.

I made an appointment with the doctor, I had blood samples taken and was sent to hospital, where they took an x ray of my chest, then sent me home with a six month prescription of anti biotics. I was taken on as an outpatient for the next year, and was told they couldn’t find a problem and to come back in a year.

It took me so long to see anyone, which by the time I did my problems had settled down. Basically I got so fed up with the lack of help I was getting from the doctor that I started to try and find out information myself on food intolerances, digestive problems etc.
I tried not eating late at night, avoiding alcohol, cutting out certain foods etc, but although sometimes this worked, often it didn't and I was constantly worrying about what I was eating, when I thought I had found what was causing my problems, something else would irritate me.

Through my self-help I became interested in alternative medicine, and I realise that the mind and body needed to be treated as a whole, and there was probably underlying issues that needed to be addressed too.

In late summer 2008 I went to see Deepika Rodrigo at The Ayurvedic Clinic, she gave me a thorough check. She recommended that I change my diet immediately gave me a diet sheet of what I could and could not eat and prescribed Ayurvedic herbal supplements. Within the first month I noticed a huge difference.

I continued the treatment for another three months, including a panchakarma de-tox treatment. Which made me feel absolutely amazing, I can’t remember the last time I felt so good! After the Ayurvedic treatment my digestive complaints have disappeared and I feel amazing now! After years of going round in circles with no one getting to the route of the problem, I am so thankful to have finally found someone who can help me.
