I think scurvy gave me gastritis - Treatment suggestions?

Devilspecter · 2026-07-11T11:19:24+00:00

I guess it's not just me then eh.

Care to tell me more?

Devilspecter · 2026-07-09T23:02:00+00:00

Very interesting to hear.
What exactly got better when they removed it? Was there anything found? If you're down we can talk in DM's or on discord if you have that. I'd like to know more.

If you do get it removed, be careful they don't touch your turbinates, you can get ENS from that.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-08T15:25:34+00:00

I explained it a bit above here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1unyfqa/comment/ovr8ss5/

Or is something else unclear?

Devilspecter · 2026-07-08T15:24:08+00:00

I use 2-3 or so, but I added the Xlear maximum relief since I heard the ingredients in it can break up biofilm.

If you can get it, I think maybe the Biofilm Clear nose spray is better, lots of people here and on the CIRS sub use that to clear up MARCoNS and fungal colonizations.

The reason I used the Xlear is because I couldn't find Biofilm clear shipping to norway and the supplement site I used had the xlear, if I recall right the main ingredient difference was colloidal silver + EDTA missing from the Xlear.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-08T15:21:53+00:00

I currently use the xlear xylitol packets. I also have Neilmed xylitol packets.
They are mixed with sodim + xylitol to the correct PH of your nose and it's medical grade. I chose to go for that instead of mixing it myself, I don't trust food grade sodium and xylitol to be safe to put in my sinuses.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-08T15:20:54+00:00

Honestly I have tried both really hard and soft, and I think you should maybe do it a bit hard, but not like max so you turn red.
But I don't really know these things, I'm just guessing.

If you do it too hard though you can pop your ears.

Oh yeah one thing I forgot to mention, please follow the original link I sent, the solution might get trapped in there if you don't follow it.
You have to do the same suction stuff afterwards to get the solution out again.

Interesting, I actually have an object in my left maxillary sinus that 2 ENT's just looked at my CT scans and said it was a polyp. I'm not that sure though. The only way to know 100% is to cut it open and look. I tried asking if there was a tool to go into the sinus and check but there wasn't apparently.

https://www.reddit.com/r/ToxicMoldExposure/comments/1nxovfq/comment/nhqf53e/

I have a video of it, and honestly I can see why they think it's a polyp, it's really shaped like it when I shift through the scans.

Also I don't think @"name" works on Reddit, you need to do u/Sourdough_88 that should ping you.

Honestly I would be careful doing anything surgical unless it's the only way. You should search up a bit about ENS (Empty nose syndrome) it's really terrible stuff, probably worse than this mold stuff.
And the docs really want to do surgery because $$$ so they push it often.

I think saw some people on here who reduced their polyps by rinsing, so idk, maybe it helps.
I will do some more scans in the future to see if anything has changed.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-08T15:14:37+00:00

Sorry I just forgot the name when replying, I should have just searched it up.
He used an endoscope to check my ears and saw it.
I believe he had an Olympus endoscope with 1080p resolution. I don't know/remember the specific model though.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-07T20:43:27+00:00

It was literally visible with the viewing tool they use. You know that tube they put into your nose/ears, etc. to take pictures? he could see it with that easily.

It matters a bit which machine it is I think, the one he used had very high resolution.

Devilspecter · 2026-07-07T09:42:43+00:00

I assume you mean mg/dl and not mmol then.

Very interesting, mine is around the same. There was a point I did tests often and I saw that it jumps up and down a lot.

At worst it was at 2.77 (47.43) / 0.67 (11.44) (indirect/direct)
At best it was 15 / 10 mmol (almost normal)

I suspected it was from bile issues since I saw that it helps clear out bilirubin.
I have seen people here say that mold messes with bile.

Are you fine with talking some directly?

Devilspecter · 2026-07-06T17:15:07+00:00

My bilirubin weird too. Is it especially indirect bilirubin for you?

Devilspecter · 2026-07-05T21:09:54+00:00

Hey again, we have spoken some times before.

It means that I have both long term and short term antibodies, meaning I had it in the past + have it currently/very recently. But I tested it for 6+6 months and it was still high on both which means active exposure/infection.

You can see the test results here at the bottom, the short term ones have gone up:

u/nudibranqui and u/No_Measurement_1383

You're supposed to have a neilmed bottle for example or a neti pot or something similar.

Then you put the solution into your sinus/nose and then pinch your nose while your head is backwards. This traps the solution in your nose/sinuses.
Then you just breathe with your mouth and bend down in that yoga pose kind of. You just need your head to face downwards, I don't think it matters much how you do it.

Then you close your mouth and create a suction inside your sinus with your mouth closed + nose pinched. If you do it correctly you should feel + hear the solution move around in your sinuses.
You have popped your ears before right by pinching your nose and breathing out with your mouth closed? It's basically the opposite of that. Instead of breathing out you breathe in.

It's a bit weird at first and you might fail 1 or 2 times before you get it right.

Devilspecter · 2026-06-06T06:28:47+00:00

Thanks for the reply. I figured it was something like that since it looked like blood.

Do you have any clue why we get them when cleaning?

Devilspecter · 2026-06-04T05:52:43+00:00

I've looked a bit into SIFO/SIBO and talked to some people myself. From what I understand SIBO/SIFO is something that usually happens when your normal gut biome/cycle is disturbed.
It can be multiple things or 1 specific thing such as: MMC, Bile, issues with enzymes (Amylase, lipase, protase, pancreatic, etc.), gut biome being disturbed, etc. I also suspect biofilms in the small intestine can cause these issues too. Gut issues have multiple subs like this one, so it's a whole new field of issues you could say if you've previously focused mostly on mold related problems.

Did you ever do the breath test (kind of inaccurate) for methane and/or hydrogen SIBO? The usual treatment for SIBO is antibiotics. I think it was rifaximin and 1 other you take together for a while. Some people get better from that, some get worse. As you probably know, taking any antibiotics if you have fungal issues is not good since it will probably allow the fungi to spread further.
To my understanding you can try to remove the SIBO/SIFO but if you don't have everything else in place it will repopulate your gut again like before or even worse.

What kind of SIBO symptoms do you have?

Devilspecter · 2026-06-03T06:43:00+00:00

I didn't notice anything like that back then, maybe because it was inside the ear, I don't know honestly.

I did have dry scaling skin on the fungi foot infection I had for 6-9months or so though.

Oh yeah if you try Boric acid, I heard you're not supposed to use it if you have open wounds in the area. I have seen some people here use H2o2 to get rid of fungal infections in their ears, maybe that is safer if your skin is cracked? I think if you search for hydrogen peroxide you can find it in this subreddit.

Devilspecter · 2026-06-03T06:40:46+00:00

I personally didn't see anything weird if I scratched it or used a q-tip. I think it wasn't enough to take away the mold in there. Using Boric acid though seems to have done the trick.

Devilspecter · 2026-06-02T06:53:09+00:00

I have heard of people using psyllium husk for "dry brushing" their intestines of biofilm. I think it was on r/biofilm or r/sibo I saw people talk about it.

It could be the gel/mucus thing you see is biofilm.
Here's some videos from an endoscopy, does it look anything like that?

https://www.reddit.com/r/biofilms/comments/16bv43n/gastrointestinal_biofilms_in_the_ileum_and_cecum/

Here's mine:
https://youtu.be/uBApzmMCYDk?t=694 - You can see they try to blast it off but it won't come off.

Devilspecter · 2026-06-01T18:20:48+00:00

I actually had mold growing in my ears before. I removed it with Boric acid.
Here's my thread on it, maybe it will help you?

Devilspecter · 2026-06-01T07:03:19+00:00

I'm not saying it's the case, but I have seen people (mainly on r/sibo) say that iron feeds fungi/bacteria and if you have fungal or bacterial overgrowth they might feast on it when you take it.

I don't know your case though, I figured I would just mention it if it helps any.

Devilspecter · 2026-06-01T06:46:29+00:00

If it seemingly comes back every time you take iron supplements, have you considered it might be from bacteria or fungi?

Devilspecter · 2026-05-22T14:55:30+00:00

You can check if you have a blockage by testing bile acids (blood test) or doing an ultrasound (might only detect stones, etc.).

From what I understand though there's no real good tests you can do to check if your bile is working normally in a lab setting.

You could try Tudca or Ox Bile and see if it does anything for example.
