Yes, I seem to have symptoms of weight gain, endocrine problems, and fatigue and lethargy, and I do feel bloated, especially after meals. I have a lot of fat in the abdominal area, and my digestion is one of high acid and slight nausea at times. I'm going to get a test done that measures how quickly your food moves from the stomach into the intestines. It may be a motility issue. So far, the cinnamon and ginger are very helpful for a few different symptoms. The cinnamon increases my appetite, which I really need, but I don't need the extra weight. Still, I have to eat so I'm not worried so much about the weight issue. The nausea is unexplained, but may be related to the acid reflux. The cinnamon really helps with that as well as does the ginger. I enjoy reading your posts because of the knowledge you possess. It's all very intriguing, and I guess most westerners don't pay it any mind because it sounds strange, not at all like our type of medicine and diagnosing illnesses. I'm still cautious about mixing a bunch of herbs I know nothing about, but I am keeping an open mind thanks to you. Keep posting. It is interesting to read. I think my biggest problem is the initial stages of digestion, probably involving the stomach, spleen, pancreas, bile flow. I believe my kidney function is normal. My bowels are functioning normally, no constipation or diahrrea. Eating habits could be better, but I try to limit my intake of sugar and bad fats. I crave mostly protein, not carbohydrates. I'm taking calcium and magnesium and that seems to be good for your entire body, perhaps even your digestive system. I tried Licorice lately, and I just don't like the way it makes me feel. Any experience you might have on individual herbs would be greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.
