FIVE

Katie. Day 5, 19th December 2011. Monday

Today I had an appt with my Naturopath. Got results back from a full digestion stool test. Shows that I am very low in beneficial bacteria, malabsorbing fats (steatorrhoea), deficient in pancreatic enzymes, parasite present, amongst other things. This means that I am deficient in many of the fat soluble vitamins. 
I also have been diagnosed with KPU (Kryptopyrroles) - meaning I am chronically depleted of minerals and certain vitamins. Mainly Zinc and Vitamin B6. With KPU, you pee all of these out leaving you depleted. 
I have been given a number of supplements. These include:

• Activated B6
• Zinc Picolinate (already has this) - to take once in morn and once at night (will increase to 3 times a day eventually)
• Hydrozyme (already had this) : functions to increase stomach acidity to aid digestion in the stomach
• Critical Digestion (probiotic, enzyme formula)
• Probiotic formula (need to swap this bottle for a dairy free version however) 
• Vitamin A (retinyl palmitate)
• Paracea Forte (already had this)
• Magnesium (wasn't given this from naturopath however will take once a day/ or every 2nd day)
• Castor oil for castor oil packs. Will place this over liver/abdomen to soothe organs
• UDO's oil 3.6.9. blend. KPU patients are required to increase their Arachadonic acid intake. Therefore I am to stop taking the fish oil (need to buy UDO's oil tomorrow from health food store)
• Activated Bcomplex  - will continue to take these every 2nd day or so because they contain Biotin (which is also needed for KPU treatment) and B1 (amongst other B vit's) which are essential for me and which I feel I am not getting enough of through diet

I am to introduce the supplements gradually as I am very sensitive to great changes. It is expected that I may experience some feelings of unease as I work towards my greater health. It is only expected, as when important minerals like Zinc are being replaced, toxic metals and other toxins can leak into the bloodstream and cause unwanted side effects.
