Hi sunshine, I take "real salt" (redmonds) which is highly quality rock salt, but am going onto something better when this one runs out. I use it quite liberally on my food and even in vitamin C drinks.

My swelling feet and ankles have been something that's been there for a while now and it comes when I cheat on my diet a little bit. It seems to be like a massive response to further toxins that my body just cannot handle. That's the only way I can describe it. They have gone down again now because I'm back on the strict diet.

It's pathetic really, but that's how it is. I can't eat banans or apricots, even for more potassium because it feeds the yeast inside me and in doing that, things get even worse.

I'm wondering if it's gluten too that might do this, even a small amount....but when the swelling happens, that is when I get the problems going to the toilet, so it goes hand in hand. Horrible, and yeah sounds kidney related for sure.

Yet blood tests showed all in tip top shape <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> WHAT A CROCK!

It could be somewhat related to the parasite cleanse, but again it's happened in the past and happens when I venture onto even a few wrong foods (even if they're not "sugar"). Finding it so hard, Xmas season and all.

It's not to say the extra from the parasite cleanse maybe pushing more toxins out than usual and the load is causing the swelling when I go onto a few wrong foods. Im not sure. Have increased water intake too!

I've written down every food now that causes a problem in me, even "suspect". Because it is clear that I am REALLY in a bad way and have to be completely vigilant. I've been very good in respect of not having had any sugar for so long, but it goes deeper than that. It means so many other foods too. Even corned beef is bad for me. Cheese, corn chips, chips. potatoes, milk (even a bit in tea can cause issues), fruit, grains. It's just incredible how bad I've become. I used to be able to include these things, even when I had candida, I just stopped eating sugar and gluten and the rest I could still eat. My how times have changed! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shiftyeyes.gif" alt="" />
