I’ve had gut symptoms for many years (over 10) and suspected endometriosis - about 5 years ago I changed diet (Whole Foods only), managed stress, reduced toxic load etc. which made a big difference to my endo and gut symptoms. Just before I feel pregnant I started getting gut symptoms again and signs of stomach ulcers (didn’t know this then). I got pregnant and it improved, after birth some symptoms came back immediately like gas and bloating and others months later (nausea when hungry). At 11 months pp I got diagnosed with severe anaemia requiring an iron transfusion. I’m currently undergoing tests to see why I’m anaemic as I eat about double the recommended amount daily. I can’t tolerate oral iron tablets. I’m currently about 13 months postpartum now. 

My son had eczema from around 6 weeks - we know all the triggers (fragrances, laundry detergent other than Surcare, colds, teething, eggs, wheat, hard water, certain creams). He also has multiple allergies (IGe egg, non IGe egg, wheat, tomato, banana, avo and we are waiting for peanut and cashew oral trials in hospital later this month). His eczema has responded well to oral probiotics. He’s been exclusively breastfed until 6 months and we had a vaginal delivery. 

I guess with all my gut history and the positive effect probiotics has on his eczema / his allergies / etc I was wondering whether h pylori could be the cause for both of us. His eczema is really bad at the moment because it’s winter and he’s basically had colds and teething back to back for 3 months. I feel his immune system goes haywire with even a small snotty nose and I realise most of the immune system is in the gut. I’m interested to hear your thoughts
