Hi Danzo,

Your spleen and pancreas effect how you feel about food. When function is good your appetite will be normal, but this disease effects spleen/pancreas function from what I have seen other reporting about appetite and other issues, including what you just posted here. Some of the bloating in the middle area of the body may be coming from that. Essentially the body is unable to process the water it needs to function correctly. So some of it backs up in the body causing symptoms such as you describe. The organs effecting this bloating probably vary from person to person, but I suspect many of us have deficient spleen and kidney function as well as a liver which is stagnant (blood flow is too slow).

I figure whatever we can handle as far as food is what we have to do. People can tell us we need to improve diet, we should do this or that, but ultimately it all boils down to what we can handle on those days we don't feel tip top. Ditto on food sources as not all can afford organics or even fresh food (depending on where we live). My motto is to just do the best I can on any given day. I figure that's about all any of us can probably do.

Hold on though, I think Jean Long may over time give us some clues about eating and fixing foods which may help alleviate some Morg symptoms. At one point she mentioned something about a spicy soup with herbs in it, so over time we may hear more.
