I'm slowly but surely getting better. I was so frustrated with the limited food options of a fructose free diet and the thought of having to deal with it for the rest of my life that I took my mom's advice and saw an acupuncturist. And guess what? Mom was right. I was really skeptical at the beginning, it didn't help that the acupuncturist had never heard of Fructose Malabsorption and we didn't seem to be on the same page. But I thought what could it hurt? It wont make things worse. On top of fructose malabsorption I am also allergic to raw fruits and vegetables, and I had a feeling I was a bit lactose intolerant. So there was no way that a few needles could make my eating situation worse. Those few needles have made me healthier though.
My acupuncturist is using Nambudripad's Allergy Elimination Techniques (NAET) to get rid of my allergies, and it's working! I feel so much better than before, I have more energy, and my body is finally getting healthy. So far we've done treatments for fructose, vitamine C, fruits, tomatoes, soybeans, nuts, wheat, milk, and a few others. I still have a few more treatments before I'm allergy free but it's so encouraging to see improvements! I'll be able to eat cake at my wedding and not regret it!!! Seriously, acupuncture is amazing. Throughout this whole allergy-fructose ordeal I've realized just how important it is to eat healthy, organic food. I'm really looking forward to the health food community in San Francisco!
