Thank you for all of the support and love -I wish I could tell you all that I feel better but I don't.
I have made some major lifestyle changes - starting yesterday - LOL and I am already having trouble with them - it is hard to change everything you have ever known - there has been alot of crying - but at the end of the day it is only food.
I have cut our all sugars and carbs - I am only eating meat, eggs, chicken, veggies and some fruits because alot of fruits have sugar in them. I am only drinking water and ginger and peppermint tea. Not sure if this will work but it cannot hurt at this point.
My husband has been 100% supportive and said he will eat what I eat - I am still very weak and just feel blah - but knowing I get his hugs at the end of the day make it easier to get through the work day.
I still have thrush and it does not seem to be going away so I am going to fill my precription for difiucan - it is only one more dose and I sure hope it works.
I am on a probiotic called Flora Q - and I am looking into getting some vitamins - any suggestions would be great.
I should get the results of my testing with the GI doctor next week - if they show nothing then I may have to get a colonoscopy done. I just want them to figure out what is wrong with me. I have the bowel issues with the yeast issues - I am just a mess.
I am sorry that this infertility blog has turned into a sick person blog - what that is what is going on in my life right now. I am trying to keep a positive attitute and pray that things will start turning around for the good.

Any type of lifestyle change is hard. It's great that your DH is so supportive. Stay positive!
Good for you, for staying positive Jackie. You are a fighter, I know you can do it. I hope you are feeling better soon. And talk about whatever you need to here.. we'll be here for you!
Oh man....sorry to hear your having a difficult time....that sucks. Hope things get figured out and you feel better soon.
shoot me an email. I'd like to discuss your diet changes with you. :)
Praying for you, keep up that positive attitude, everything will turn out wonderfully if we keep faith!
I'm sorry you are still feeling so crappy. I hope they can find out what is causing all this very soon. I think your new changes sound great though. I eat very similarly and while it's tough at first you will feel AMAZING once you are used to it (and all your other problems are cleared up of course). Now I feel blah and yuck when I eat processed foods! Feel better soon, big ((hugs))
That is so great Jackie! Congrats on your lifestyle changes and good luck with them! I suggest a digestive enzyme that contains tripsin. Tripsin is a digestive enzyme that helps digest protien properly, and with eating lots of meat you might want a little digestive help there.
I remember those early days of a major lifestyle overhaul. I cried more times then I like to remember over not being able to eat certain foods but it is so great that your DH is willing to do it with you. Not having the foods in the house will make it so much easier for you.
I hope this does the trick and has you feeling better in no time!
Jackie -- I tried to respond to your last email and got a failed delivery notice twice. No idea why.
