Went to a TCM practitioner recommended by a friend today. Besides describing my usual gastric pains and stomachaches, I had to vividly describe the "scenery" in the toilet bowl *.*
Conclusion: IBS and leaky gut, coupled with 血虚, 湿 on the inside and something about my liver doing OT...
Recommendations: Chew my food properly, cut down on sugars and carbs (sad!), wean off nasal spray and do acupuncture
And the next thing I knew, I was whisked into the next room, scared and unprepared for acupuncture.
"Oh, you'll grow to love it!"
Really..?
I hardly dared to move while she poked the needles into me - calves, tummy, arms, head! During the 30 minutes of resting in the dark, with some heater over my tummy, I dared not sleep in case I tossed and turned.. Soon, I could feel my calves getting numb, and when I tried to wriggle my toes, I could feel the needles near my toes poking at some nerve!
Gaaar!
And then it was done. I collected my medicine and left. Had two packets so far, bitter powdery stuff dissolved in hot water - pretty gross stuff =(
Need to store chocolate :)
