Answer
Dear Michelle,

Thank you for your question.

I shall advise the appropriate protocols for your particular conditions.

Your digestive condition can be solved easily by taking some good quality Probiotics you see. The symptoms you have given me: "stomach problems mainly constipation lots of bloating and lots of air, i can get extremely hungry and not feel full and other days i have a little bit of food and feel full. I wake up most mornings feeling full in the tummy and bloated and unwell."  are all that of a lack of Digestive Flora. Increasing this will bring healing to your body and get rid of these symptoms.

The ones i use Personally are the I-Flora Acidophilus.
They are the best in the world, and most effective.
They contain 16 different strains with 30 Billion living cells. Check the other brands to compare.

See if you can find these I-Flora in your Local Health Stores.
If not i can send you some of mine. {I live in Canada}

To address the other symptoms of heat and cold, this sounds like your Thyroid really.  One thing that is important is to take 100% Pure Coconut Oil everyday. Or Creamed Coconut. Take 2 table spoons per day. Start with one table spoon for the first one week, then go to 2.
This will balance your Thyroid Functions.

Make sure the Coconut Oil is Pure and Not Refined in any way.  The other thing is your hormones should be balanced. Please let me know if you are taking any Estrogen or Progesterone prescription substances currently. They may be causing the imbalance.

I will from there advise you on what to use for your hormones.

Lastly, please let me know what kind of a Vitamin Supplement you take, if any. It is important that i know this.

SOY is TOXIC!  Please do not use any soy products, except in its Fermented form: Miso, soy sauce...  etc. Soy contains Enzyme inhibitors that Prevent the absorption of Proteins, Iron, Zinc, Calcium and Magnesium.

Please cut out using Margarine and Canola Oil in cooking.
Use Butter instead, and Olive Oil, Coconut Oil... other oils.

Also Please Stop All artificial sweeteners permanently.
Aspartame, Splenda, Sucralose are all very toxic. Splenda and Sucralose are the same thing: A Sucrose molecule bonded to a Chlorine molecule. Chlorine does not break down - it poisons the body.

Jagery, Brown Sugar, Xylitol, and Stevia are far better and are natural sugars.  If you ever need to take them.

Lets start with this:  Let me know of what other supplements you are on if any, and we shall go from there.

You may email me at:  second-sun@shaw.ca

This is my personal email address, and it is easier for me to answer you from here more quickly.  

Sincerely

Imran Rajan
