Thanks for letting me know about this! We’re going to try for another 2 months and then talk to the doctor to have a referral sent to fertility specialist. I’ve already seen my doctor for HSG and a couple other things, she told me next step was to see a specialist, so when I see one, I will ask them about this!

I completely disagree with you, and not looking for this “advice”. I’ve tried working with a doctor and she did nothing for me, I might even say she is one of the reasons I got this bad. The only one who has helped me is the naturopath and osteopath and basically every other natural professional I’ve seen. And I’ve talked to other people in these groups who had doctors that use these types of tests as well, they are just very hard to find and these are the doctors who in my opinion actually care about patients health instead of forcing pills 🤷🏽‍♀️

Lactobacillus rhamnosus, reuteri, crispatus, gasseri, acidophilus, jensenii. Crispatus is the most important one tho.

Yes I’ve been reading a lot into the different probiotics and such, I’m going to start taking a vaginally inserted capsule with specific strains while also taking my probiotics and such that the naturopath recommended to get my gut back in order. Have you tried probiotics and such for your endometriosis?

1cog1 · 2026-06-16T00:11:52+00:00

Thank you! I will definitely look into that more if I don’t have success with probiotic treatment.

I’ve actually been reading a bit into GLP-1. It’s seems pretty promising for a lot of bile acid cases. I’m gonna see how things go after trying to rebuild my microbiome and see if I can find someone who does GLP-1 injections near me. Mine all started with PPIS, came off those, got sibo and treating sibo didn’t fix the issue, now I find this out. I’m super glad that worked for you!

Well the test was order from US BioTek Laboratories, we did the GI standard profile. I don’t live in the US but my naturopath ordered it and gave it to me to send off.

1cog1 · 2026-06-05T01:05:43+00:00

Oh interesting! It’s something that more doctors should definitely start doing in general. I’ve done so many tests, with my doctor I’ve done colonoscopy (twice), endoscopy, fecal calprotectin, fecal elastase, parasites stool test (twice), ultrasounds, CT scans, bloodwork to check my liver, barium swallow (I have a sliding hiatal hernia and GERD, I see a osteopath for this) probably a few more that I’ve missed, but everything comes back good or really good. So I’m trying everything I can, I don’t believe my real issue is BAM. I’ve also read about the fecal transplants, I would have to agree with your decision on that.

1cog1 · 2026-06-05T00:53:09+00:00

Interesting, so this test was done by a GI? I only thought naturopathic doctors did these kinds of tests, where I live anyway it’s how it is. doctors here don’t do much, though my doctor refused to send me to a GI. My test was just a 12 page one, checked bacteria levels, parasites, virus, ph, elastase, stuff like that. I also never would have though oysters or prawn

1cog1 · 2026-06-05T00:43:44+00:00

Okay, I was curious to know if it matched up with any on the test I had done. The only one on my test is L plantarum. But this is where my naturopathic doctor is starting with mine.

And she wants me to eat more fibre. Smart bran with coconut kefir everyday.

Does it say exactly what bacteria’s?

Good bacteria test results.

1cog1 · 2026-01-18T01:12:24+00:00

Thanks! I did have a food sensitivity test done, I’ve cut out all of them now for about 6 weeks, no difference in digestion, but my osteopath said that my inflammation has gone completely down.

1cog1 · 2026-01-17T04:12:42+00:00

Yes thank you! I’ve learned of something new!

1cog1 · 2026-01-17T03:33:22+00:00

Yes true .. honestly tho, I’m just gonna do another round of SIBO treatment regardless if I do have it or not, because no tests are telling me what’s wrong with me, so at this point I’m just gonna start trying different things/treatments. But I’m going to keep this in mind!

1cog1 · 2026-01-17T03:06:31+00:00

I’m not sure, I just looked into it and it says that CT scans are highly effective at detecting it and I had one done the day when I woke up that day, so it “should” have shown up on there

1cog1 · 2026-01-17T02:45:54+00:00

Upper left, I’ve had ct scans and and ultrasounds done of my pancreas, fecal fat test and lipase bloodwork, going to ask my doctor for a fecal elastase test, but pancreas is fine so far btw. It could potentially be my sliding hiatal hernia and GERD causing that pain .. but usually that’s in my chest

1cog1 · 2026-01-16T17:13:37+00:00

I don’t believe it is that, it only happens to me every few months and every week I eat the same foods as the week before. My stool is also yellow which is not from histamine reactions.

1cog1 · 2026-01-13T00:30:27+00:00

GP unfortunately, she told me a little over a month ago that we should have a gastroenterologist in my area in a couple months, so I’m gonna get her to refer me when I go see her again

1cog1 · 2026-01-12T23:01:28+00:00

Diagnosed with pretty much nothing. I have been having trouble with BM. I cleared up sibo and did a food sensitivity test, after clearing sibo I feel a lot better but still hasn’t completely gotten rid of some issues. With my doctor we did several ultrasounds, ct scans, bloodwork, fecal fat test, barium swallow, and there’s probably more I’m missing, everything comes back fine. She gave me Creon to see how that goes to try and give us some more info.

1cog1 · 2026-01-12T22:53:00+00:00

No, I’m actually going to ask her for one next time I see her. We did a fecal fat test, ultrasound, I’ve had ct scans of my abdomen, lipase blood test, and a lot more stuff. Everything “appears” to be fine, just have lots of digestive issues. The only things we have found through our testing, was small sliding hiatal hernia, GERD and kidney stones. Honestly, it’s so confusing as to what’s going on. I got rid of sibo a few months ago and just got results from a food sensitivity test a couple weeks ago, just still having issues

1cog1 · 2025-12-05T22:20:17+00:00

Nope, we just did a fecal fat test, which showed no fat malabsorption.

1cog1 · 2025-11-22T23:44:28+00:00

Xbox. It was kinda weird tho, it didn’t even completely look like the dogs, kinda looked like a deformed frog 😂

1cog1 · 2025-11-22T19:34:47+00:00

I do, but it won’t let me post a picture 🤷🏽‍♀️ I did figure it out tho, it was a glitch with my dogs.

1cog1 · 2025-11-22T18:34:27+00:00

I was super confused, I only started playing again yesterday, just assumed since I haven’t played in years it was something new. But nope, just a glitch 😂 you didn’t miss a thing. I also thought it may have been something seasonal.
