Ok do I have a question... I have been trying to eat healthy (paleo diet after I spent hundreds of dollars on a naturopath) and have been feeling pretty well. Of course I have my cheat days or fall off the wagon days, but I have been getting really sick lately. Now, I do work with kids and I realize they're germ factories, but this is my 3rd year doing this so shouldn't I have built up SOME immunities? My husband lost 220 pounds and had gotten sick ONCE in the last 3.5 years, so he says he thinks its partly because of my weight. Anyone else have this issue or did have this issue and notice a difference once they had surgery?

I read that the part of the stomach that kills bacteria is missing so therefore we are more vulnerable

It's probably more related to your sinuses than anything. Our stomachs function just fine. I had sinus issues a few years ago and ended up needing surgery for it. See an ENT.

Did you end up getting your adenoids removed? I had really bad ear infections all my life and 2 years ago I had to have tubes put it. That helped a lot, but now it's a lot of sinus stuff
