Hi Mary,
I got M in October of last year (2017) and began to experience feeling cold as one of my symptoms. It was so bad that I can remember drawing a bath using only hot water and getting into it feeling so comfortable. I could have easily burned myself, so I don't advise doing that! It was like my body was desensitized to temperature. Before M I could never have done that. I did read later that this is a sign of the disease. After a few months on the protocol my sense of temperature returned.
The diet I admit is not easy. I buy as much organic and Non-GMO as I can afford. Usually this is in terms of vegetables, fresh, frozen or canned and also things such as eggs, almond flour, coconut flour, coconut oil, olive oil. Believe it or not, many things I have actually found at Walmart at very good prices. Karen recommended Natural Choice which has nitrate free deli meats and bacon. I had purchased these before too and was able to eat these with no reaction.
Costco is another store that has a lot of organic food. I purchase organic ground meat for a reasonable price at Costco. I have only purchased organic chicken and a beef roast one time as I found the price to be exorbitant in my area. I still eat chicken but make sure it is the one that is free of antibiotics.
The effort and sometimes creativity to follow the sum of the parts is absolutely worth it! I often say to myself, "Do I really want to eat that or do I want to be well?" I know the answer to that, but when I pose that question to myself, it makes it easier to say "No!" After 11 months on the protocol, I can say it is like day and night in terms of my symptoms and how I feel. Honestly, I am at the point where I feel like "normal" more days than not.
Please continue to post and most of all read and/or listen to the conference calls. This is the place to heal.
God Bless,
Donna
