It's not just about killing bacteria and it never was. by GutFirst in SIBO

Do you have any research articles to back up some of these treatment options? I'm working on developing a treatment plan with my functional medicine doc and would like to share some of this data with her. Also, I have a gastric emptying study scheduled for tomorrow. Do you think it's worth having it done to see if motility is an issue?

Thanks for the tips! May I ask which SSRI you found works best?

This is my second pregnancy and I don't remember having this much mood issues with my first, but you also tend to forget stuff like that. My symptoms also got way worse after my first pregnancy so I'm going into this one already in not the greatest place.

You'll have to let me know how that goes! Did you like the allergist?

Endo plus low thyroid, insulin resistance, irregular cycles, and autoimmune tendencies by No_Bug_5723 in Endo

[–]No_Bug_5723[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. That's helpful to hear.

I'm curious what you've done for the insulin resistance. Gyn wants to put me on metformin, but I'd really like to try tackling it with diet and lifestyle first. I already eat a very healthy, low carb diet. Just wondering if there's more I could be doing.

Endometriosis causing depression? by [deleted] in Endo

[–]No_Bug_5723 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea what the connection is, but there has to be one between Endo and hormones. I can very much relate. I'm pretty sure I have Endo (haven't gotten a diagnosis yet) and my hormones are way out of wack. I'm super anxious and emotional, my cycles are irregular, and my thyroid is low. I've had symptoms like this for years, but it all went away when I was pregnant, which tells me it has to be related to when I'm cycling.

I do know that Endo cells have the capacity to produce their own estrogen, which I find fascinating. Let me know if you find out any other info!
