Ever have gnawing, ferocious, nightly stomach pains? For years I was afflicted with this. Oddly, they seemed to disappear for a while every time I took an antibiotic for some reason. Finally, thanks to a holistic doctor, I learned about h. pylori. After a round of specifically targeted antibiotics, cabbage juice and mastic gum, they finally went away for good (mostly). Finally, I can sleep through the night without being awakened by what I now know to be 'pseudo' hunger pains.
There's much more to learn but oh, sleep, how I've missed you!
They'll occasionally come back and I'm still working on that. But life is a work in process. Baby steps is my motto. There are solutions. Never give up!
