Since you are underweight, I suggest that you eat raw sunflower seeds, almonds and cashews(if you aren't allergic to them). These nuts and seeds have plenty of calories, and in addition they have plenty of protein, but most important is that they are loaded with minerals. Many who are mercury toxic are deficient in minerals, especially magnesium and zinc.
You might also want to consider doing a one month parasite cleanse. Many here have had parasites.
I suggest that you stop the Nexium ASAP. Why was it prescribed, based on symptoms? The symptoms of too little stomach acid are very similar to those of having too much stomach acid. Too little stomach acid can make you very succeptible to candida and parasites. I suggest that you do a Google search on stomach acid deficiency.
Are you eating well, or do you feel nausious and have little appetite?
I only took nexium for about 3 months back when I first got sick, and that was 3 yrs ago when I was 26. I discontinued it because I didn't feel it was helping. The doctor prescribed it to me say I had too much stomach acid, which I doubt was the case. My diet isn't the best or the worst, I always implement veggie into my meals daily. I don't feel nausious, I can eat a lot but it seem like I have a fast metabolism. When I first got sick, I was hungry very frequent. The hunger come very fast too, like a hypoglycemia symptom, it hit me like within 5 mins. It feels like it but when I measure my glucose reading when I have those feelings, the reading always in the normal range. I had to eat first thing in the morning and every 3 hrs and also right before bed when I first got sick. I would wake up in the middle of the night wit the hunger feeling, only eating can relieve the symptoms. Right now, my hunger is not as much as it used to be. I could skip breakfast and no more hungry feeling in the middle of the night. I'm just feeling weak/tired most of the time and frequent lightheaded. I'm not sure if those feeling are the results of constant anxiety or physical.
I have went to a few traditional chinese doctors and they all think because I had too much stress back then and it made me become sick. During the time when I first got sick, I was owning a business and with other things going on at the time, it was the most stressful time in my life. A year ago, I got rid of my business. My symptoms have gone away a lot. But since I'm still sick with no cause, I worry about it, I guess the more I worry the longer the symptoms going to be there, it's a vicious cycle
. Right now I'm not sure what caused me to be sick, mental or physical. Thanks for listening everyone .
