Thanks for your comment. I understand there are a lot of useless products that are marketed to us. I do find that I've found a few supplements have eased symptoms and helped me expand my diet so it is less limited. Digestive enzymes are among these products, and some have been too strong and some have done nothing, so it's still trial and error. I also have taken some herbal products that seem to help. Products are so different in quality and formulation - for example, the form of magnesium I was taking was very hard on my body and while it helped to reduce some symptoms, a change in product type (brand and formulation) for the same type of magnesium by a practitioner who understood what she was doing worked so much better without unwanted side effects. Even with prescriptions, I've had experience where a brand drug changes something in the drug and it is much harder on the system than a previous formulation. A very good pharmacist will help you figure that out. Practitioners are all different so it really helps to see someone who has in depth understanding and not to make blanket statements. It also helps to be observant of your symptoms and how they change. I keep my diet fairly tight so I can discern if something is helping or not and try not to change more than one variable at a time. It is still inexact, however. I find if I work with someone whose knowledge base I've come to trust and who can explain why she is prescribing something and is willing to try and then assess, over time, I do get some help managing things. Overall, it has taken time to get out of the panic and fight/flight initially trailing along with my symptoms and find a lifestyle with supportive practitioners that ease this path... It's wholistic - emotional/psychological/physical (nutrition and medical)/stress, community, etc.
