[quote=Anonymous]I had major major hot flashes and I went to my regular doc, and GYN, but got no help, and of course refused hormones. I went to an integrative med doc and a nutritionist, and did get help.

I took a blood test that showed I'm intolerant to a whole bunch of foods. The integrative med doc told me to "avoid" those foods, but the nutritionist told me to stop eating the entire list of about 25 foods for two months. At the end of two months, I felt great. Zero hot flashes, none, nada. I also felt like I was starving, so I went back to the nutritionist, who told me to rotate the foods I am intolerant to, eating them no more than once a week. I've been doing this for about six months. I still get hot flashes, but only about one a day now, fewer if I stop eating eggs and chicken, which seem to be the worst problem foods for me.

I know this sounds crazy, and I never would have believed it if I hadn't tried it, but I feel so, so much better. If I'd stayed off all those foods completely, maybe I'd have even fewer hot flashes. But I can manage one or at most two hot flashes a day. When it gets beyond that, I get very irritable and start feeling extremely tired and ill.

Good luck, OP. You have my empathy. [/quote]
