Here's a little background

Here's a little background:

I'm in my 20's. I've been sick. I feel terrible. I've had headaches, fatigue, and a multitude of miscellaneous other symptoms.  I've also been to 7 doctors and 4 specialists.  I've received ridiculous diagnoses and a variety of medications to treat the symptoms, not the main cause.  I'd had enough. 

I ended up getting referred to an amazing doctor in Southern NH.  Her Name is Robyn and she specializes in women's health.  I was a little nervous due my previous experiences with other Doctors. Robyn asked me what was going on. All I had to do was tell her my worries, what was going on with me, and how it was making me feel.  She actually listened to me instead of just looking at a list of symptoms.  She then told me what would end up being the single-most life changing thing I've heard to date: you have food allergies.

Food allergies?!?!   How could I be allergic to food?  I've been eating this way all along.  Little did I know my destructive eating was causing my body to rebel and take it out on my well being. The inflammation, the upset stomach, headaches, fatigue... all due to food.  How Miserable!

Dr. Robyn Jacobs Website  I reccomend her to anyone in the NH area, for any womens health related issues.  She's great.
