Should I start smoking again.... i'm still ill after 1 year

Yep , you are right , I am being healed of my leaky gut now. The symptoms you speak of are because of vitamin deficiency. See a holistic Dr.. Many chiropractors are versed in this sort of healing also.

Hang in there!! It's a sad trick your body and mind play on you  to get you to go right back to where you were. If you have "horrible" issues, use the Nicoderm patches ( you can even cut them to the mg that is the lowest to take away the symptons. I smoked for 30 years and I am going on month 9 of being a non-smoker. Suffered all the same things everyone is. I couldn't believe the answer was to smoke again so I tried giving myself a "cheat" and to make healthy changes to balance things. ( #1, take fiber suppliments, #2 GET ACTIVE, MOVE, MOVE, MOVE. #3 Drink plenty of water, #4 Lighten up the diet (I spent 3 days journaling what I was eating and was shocked to discover I was about a cupcake away from Jazzy Scooter). #5 Take Vitamins, for years as a smoker we deplete our bodies time to put some good stuff back.  Hope this helps. :)
