6. You might want to consider "gut permiability"

or if you a have a healthy ratio of "good" gut flora, either of which can really lead to these problems. As well you might have an IgG allergy to certain foods. IgG reactions are slower than the better known IgA reactions and can take up to 3 days to manifest (although 12 o 24 is a more normal reaction time). There is testing for these problems.

I hope this helps.


For non specific and non pathological digestive issues we tend to refer to a local naturopathic and functional medicine doctor. Try this link and see if you can get a free phone consult. http://www.naturopathic.org/AF_MemberDirectory.asp?version=1

Good luck.


The other suggestions seem good too, but it also seems as if you are aware of them and already doing some of them.
