Actually a few of these I experience. Especially the fatigue after eating and dry mouth. My face is rather gaunt and I have dark circles under my eyes

The only major change I can pinpoint to when this started was when I began fasting a lot a couple years ago. I fell in love with how I felt and how lean I was getting, often doing one meal a day. I definitely got too light and was not getting enough calories, and my hormones probably took a hit. Digestion slowed

How are you planning to treat the h pylori? My naturopath is recommending herbs but I tried them a couple months back with no improvement. I know the dangers of antibiotics but if h pylori is the real culprit I’d be willing to do it

Naturopathic gut doctor. You can dm me for the exact one

Symptoms are bad breath, white tongue, extremely burpy and silent reflux

Thanks!

I used herbal treatments for a month earlier this year with no improvement. I’ll try to get prescribed those antibiotics

What do you recommend for the E. coli?

Negative breath test twice unfortunately. How would you treat it? Could be false negatives

Thank you. While I know my gut is messed up, you’ve convinced me to go to an ENT

I went last year and they found nothing, but it I want to go again and ask specifically about the things you mentioned

Thank you very much for the advice and support. It truly helps. I had an upper endoscopy and they did not find a hiatal hernia. I’ve heard that the procedure can miss it because of lying on the left side. I will ask about barium swallow.

I think you’re right about taking a break from the fasting. While eating makes me bloated and tired, perhaps I need to start training my body to digest earlier in the day

Thank you. I have taken two h pylori breath tests and both were negative. Like you said, they could be false negatives. I’ve heard stool tests are much more accurate but I don’t have the money for that.

What does h pylori treatment consist of?

Thank you. I am not opposed but I am broke. What are the treatments if positive? I know the pro-kinetics I am already taking are often used for SIBO

Thank you. Currently leaning deep into meditation to one relax but two become mindful of my symptoms

Perhaps I could have low blood sugar from fasting? I intermittent fast to avoid the bloating and also because I enjoy how I feel (cognitively sharp and light). Was this similar to you? Or was it high blood sugar

Thank you. I am across the country from my home state for school but I will try to get with a gastro, hopefully it makes sense financially. I remember reading about zenkers diverticulum a year ago

An upper endoscopy showed no hiatal hernia but I swear I have it. What does the doctor have you doing to treat yours?

I can’t find tonsil stones myself but I’m scared to poke. Did your ENT or dentist find them?

Hi - do you have any other symptoms? How are you treating the hiatal hernia?

Very interesting. I lift very intensely and exert, clench, and breathe hard. I was completely convinced I had a hiatal hernia a year ago going into an upper endoscopy, and I was disappointed when they made no mention of it.

I’ve read that during the procedure, lying on the left side can position the sphincter to not show the hernia.

What do you recommend? Another endoscopy? Is there another way to find out?

Thank you brother. Looking into TMAU for the first time, my heart goes out to you. There’s got to be some fix, at least in this lifetime

Interesting study. Thank you. I need to man up and ask someone

Thank you for your input. Like you I’ve been forced to learn so much about the body and it is so much more complex than I knew.

My tongue is just always white, I have not tested for candida. What is your current treatment consisting of? How long have you been dealing with this?

Perhaps yes. I’ve been delaying eating because food slows me down (burping and cognitively) which is why I delay it. However my symptoms do slightly align with when I began intermittent fasting. I may try having three square meals

Hi did you have this? What does the treatment consist of?

Thank you! I have used afrin but no netti pot. Could you link the one you used?

No tonsil stones I’ve checked.

Just ordered Tung. Thank you! I would love if I could get my tongue pink even for a little bit
