405855 tn?1217100767 We have lots of Yam in the Northwest! I would say sweet potato and yam in your neck of the woods are the same. a yam is a root vegetable, about 6 inces long, more orange than pink though. Although through the skin it may look pink. Yams are very, very yummy! Most people do call them sweet pototoes, although a true sweet potato is green.
19425378 tn?1477454647 I don't even know where to begin. 3 years ago, I got my period like clockwork. Then all of the sudden out of nowhere, they became farther and farther apart. I went to the doctor, twice, she looked at me and said everything looked normal, both times. They ultimately became absent from Dec 2013 until literally 3 months ago.
Avatar m tn Well I say f it it is what it is and I am what I am or in the words of the almighty Popeye I yam wut I yam and thats all I Yam........
Avatar f tn m currently on Ogen and would like to find an over-the-counter alternative if any exist. Has anyone taken over-the-counter estrogen? Did you find that it worked just as good as the prescription estrogen, better or worse? Thanks.
Avatar f tn Just curious if anyone uses wild yam cream (progesterone) only without taking any type of estrogen ? Can this be done and what symptoms does it help with.

Avatar m tn And do you mean peg interferon suppresses the immune system and increase insulin resistance . My present diet is mainly carbohydrate . I was obese before I start peg interferon please stef2011 I really need your help .
Avatar f tn I applied some cream on my perineum that had 14% wild yam extract. A few days later, everything is "inflated". The thin skin flaps at the entry of the vagina (I think what used to be the hymen) are now big pea-sized bulges and long fat fingerlike projections - everything seems like it had a Hollywood style collagen injection. Not in a good way either, it looks scary. What is happening? Is it temporary?
Avatar f tn I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
Avatar f tn Combine them with vegitables and maybe a small side of a complex carb like brown rice or a fresh baked yam. Eliminate fruit and juice. To get vitimins missing from fruit, take a good multi-vitimin. Also buy a large container of proteen powder. mix one large scoop with 8 oz skim milk and drink in morning for brekfast. It will give your muscle the proteen it needs with no carb intake. Muscle burns fat so the more muscle you grow, the more fat you burn.
Avatar f tn I also take a yam supplement. These work for some people and not for others. Soy worked great for me for a good 3 years. Then I started thinking it was contributing to hot flashes, which it can do by messing with your thyroid. Stopping it resolved the problem. It was very good while it worked.
Avatar f tn Watching a commercial can literally send me into a complete crying tail spin. I have tried over the counter hormone creams, vitamins such as black cohash and all kinds of other things that "older" ladies have recommended and nothing seems to be working. I am not depressed or anything like that so i do not need those type medications. And even more so, I now am experiencing weight gain and all kinds of other symptoms. Please help with any and all suggestions.
Avatar f tn I'm pn Armour and I was told Soy products shouldn't be used, I'd like to use wild yam cream, and I noticed it has soy oil in it, I'm not injesting it, you rub it on the skin, would this interfere with my Armour, I know its a dumb question, but i don't want to spend the money with the possiblility of not being able to use it.
1386765 tn?1451164337 For me, it was a hormone imbalance. I needed more progesterone. Ever since I've started using Wild Yam cream by Wise Woman's Essentials, I have not had a problem. I've been using it for at least 10 years now. I was spotting at your age too. It would still be a good idea to be checked by your doctor before you start treating yourself. Make sure your ovaries are healthy. I went to my GYN first. He put me on the pill and wanted me to stay on it for two or three months.
Avatar n tn I know some women who swear by wild yam cream. Maybe you could check a book on natural remedies -- I think I did see one specifically about natural remedies for menopause symptoms a while back. It kind of was tough to read (who wants to believe these things are really going to happen?) but it seems like I remember it talked about foods and supplements and stuff.
1286293 tn?1271745412 It is in a liquid form and is mixed with wild yam. I suggest you see a naturapath who specializes with herbal medicine. Over the counter vitex does not take into account all your personal issues, where a naturopath will mix vitex amount according to your needs.
Avatar m tn Due to stomach problems, I have decided to try a Specific Carbohydrate Diet. Has anyone experienced relief on this diet? So basically, this is what I got from it- fresh vegtables, fresh fruits, lean meats, most nuts, NO LACTOSE, NO SUGAR (except in fruits and honey), and NO STARCHES. Is this about right? Also, what is the policy on yogurt and coconut milk?
Avatar n tn I use cassava root supplement fertility pills . They are from a yam root only grown in Nigeria Africa. It could help with hyper ovulation so it could release 2 eggs instead of 1 egg. But majority of the time women conceive 1 baby. You can start it at any time of your cycle but it's best to start with your first day of your period.
Avatar f tn See if your nurse practitioner will prescribe Premarin for you. It can improve your vaginal tone a whole lot. You're really too young for vaginal atrophy. If you really can't stand the idea of seeing a NP about this, try Wild Yam Cream. Basically, you need something hormonal in your vagina. You don't need to go onto estrogen pills, but some estrogenic cream will help a lot. Then, try a glass of wine.
Avatar f tn Carbohydrate cravings are a hallmark of insulin utilization problems, and often signal the onset of diabetes. You need to see a physician and request a test called an hba1c, and preferably a fasting glucose test as well. "Checking the sugar" is meaningless because at times you may have normal blood sugar, depending on when you have eaten.
1715838 tn?1330648200 Hopefully others who use the MH Diabetes tracker will come along and provide you with tips. In the meantime you can download the Atkins carb tool by Googling "atkins carbohydrate counter list". The food list is quite extensive and detailed and is 106 pages.
