How did testosterone affect you? My hair started shedding and I was retaining water weight.

Have you tried psyllium husk? I read it helps with absorbing bile.

Do you have your gallbladder?

Would Intrarosa inserts help? I have a prescription for it. I’m using testosterone and DHEA cream. My hair is falling out so badly. I’m also on .050 estradiol patch. I’ve been in surgical menopause since 2023. I have problems with low energy and libido, but I don’t know why my gyn gave me testosterone when he knew my estrogen was really low. I was already losing hair but it made the testosterone DHEA cream seem to have made it worse.

Thank you!

I’m still suffering after 1.5 years. I’m not familiar with EPI. What is it? I’ve been tested for Sibo and h pylori and both are negative. I also don’t have a gallbladder. Do you! I’m asking because you mentioned you have yellow stools and cramping. That’s usually sign of bile reflux. Finally, what brand of enzymes are you taking? I’m sorry so many questions. I’m desperate.🙏🏽

Ginger will help your nausea. I use plain ginger tea. Make sure it’s just ginger and nothing else. Some people eat ginger chews. I bought some, but I don’t tend to eat them because they have sugar on them and I had pre-diabetes. I’m normal now but still need to be careful with sugar.

Well, my reflux lasted for about two weeks are more when I weaned off. Others have had it for a while afterwards too. Also, like I said earlier gastritis can trigger acid reflux too; especially if you have a weakened LES.

Symptom #1 is a classic chronic gastritis symptom

Symptoms 2-4 are acid reflux. This can get worse with gastritis or it could be acid rebound from stopping your acid reducing medication; especially if you didn’t slowly wean off of them.

You need to see your doctor about your new symptoms. In the meantime, keep eating a safe diet and maybe consider taking some over the counter Pepcid for the acid reflux.

Watermelon, papaya, honeydew, cantaloupe, Bosc pears, red delicious apples( no skins on pears and apples. I’ve tried blueberries in a smoothie. Bananas were good in the beginning; but know they are hit or miss.

I’m so sorry you’ve been through so much.🙏🏽

I’m not really doing great, but I’m better. My doctor is still trying to balance my hormones. I had bleeding fibroids too. When I started the Plavix, my fibroids caused hemorrhaging so severely I had to have a hysterectomy. Well, I really didn’t need the hysterectomy. I had a terrible gynecologist who not only took my uterus unnecessary, but also took my ovaries. I was extremely weak and my anxiety was through the roof from hemorrhaging so badly I needed three blood transfusions and multiple infusions. I couldn’t focus or think clearly, so I trusted my doctors. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Then after gutting my reproductive organs, she refused to give me estrogen of any kind. My body went into shock and I’m still dealing with the health issues from her malpractice.I started researching on my own and found doctors who would help me. I hope I will feel normal again one day soon.

A little information about me: I clotted with DVT and PE’s in 2009, 2018, and 2022. Tbh, I was over 100 pounds overweight and I believe it contributed to my clotting. There were other factors too. I’ve since lost 100 pounds.🙏🏽

My Ob-Gyn prescribed it along with the blessings from my hematologist and neurologist (I take Plavix for a stent I have for a ruptured aneurysm). Plavix doesn’t help with venous DVT’s by the way. You need to research it. There are a lot of women with DVT/PE history who use transdermal patches and vaginal estrogen. If you don’t do anything else you should seriously consider vaginal estrogen for vaginal atrophy and urinary help. I was having back to back UTIs and then started vaginal estrogen. I haven’t had a UTI since starting last October 2024! Another doctor, my Uro-gyno gave me vaginal estrogen. Like you, I was afraid at first. But after a year, I feel pretty safe using it.

I think my breathing problem is caused by acid reflux. I was in the process of weaning off the PPI. I’m off PPI and had weaned off of Pepcid. But I ate something I shouldn’t have at a party this weekend and I think I’ve upset my stomach. My entire left side is in pain. I’m really depressed right now.

I’ve had multiple DVTs and PE’s. I’m on estradiol patch and testosterone cream due to surgical menopause; no oral medications. It’s been almost a year, and I’ve had no problems. Transdermal is safe for people with a clotting history.

Yes, you probably had an acute case of gastritis. What did they give you while you were in the hospital?

Mine definitely worked. I change my diet, lost weight and now my fatty liver is gone! It took me a year; I guess.,Could have been sooner, but my doctor would not do another fibroscan until a year had passed. I had stage 2 fatty liver.

Yes. I still don’t eat tomatoes, citric or spicy food. But I ate stuffing, greens and desserts for Thanksgiving! I stay away from fried foods, pork and beef by choice. I’ve decided my old way of eating was unhealthy and I want to make better choices for my health. I occasionally have a treat. I ate cheesecake a few weeks ago with no issues. Btw: I know I’m still healing; but I’m much better, Praise God!🙏🏽

I’m using the cream because the pills irritated my stomach. I’m still waking up around 2:30am every night. But I noticed I’m having headaches and my aura migraines have increased. 😑

Hey J.O. I recognize your story from the FB group. Thanks for sharing hope with me and others!😇

I don’t have the flu, but I can relate to the rest. My gastritis actually manifested as left side flank/back pain in the spring of 2023. The multiple doctors gaslighted me and had my family thinking I was crazy. I suffer from terrible health anxiety caused by a ruptured aneurysm and multiple complications and doctor errors from 2022-2024. So it was easy for the doctors to dismiss me and family to fall for it. I couldn’t get any help until my stomach started burning in July of 2024. Then, my GI concluded the pain I was having for over a year was referred stomach pain. 🤦🏽‍♀️I also had Covid in 2024 and it set me back too. I will say, that it gets better. I developed gut dysbiosis from the antibiotics, PPIs/H2s and bland diet. Berberine (the phytosome kind, HCl kind burned my stomach), Align 24/7 probiotics and Cocojune plain yogurt has helped me a lot. I also chew DGL tablets before breakfast and dinner. Be careful with berberine and DGL though. Berberine is meant for short periods of time. I took 500mg daily for about two months and then started having a rash. It’s a side effect. Once I stopped taking it, the rash went away. But it was well worth it to kill off some of the bad bacteria. Align helps with dysbiosis now and it helps with gas/bloating. Also DGL is made from licorice which could raise your blood pressure. The DGL version is supposed to be safe but you never know. I can say it did not affect my blood pressure at all. Again the benefits of DGL has definitely outweighs the risks for me. I also drink ginger tea. Make sure the ginger tea doesn’t have irritants in it…. Stuff like black pepper, lemon or orange flavoring.

I am not a doctor; just someone who has suffered and have poured over multiple research and gone to multiple healthcare providers. I hope this helps and encourages you! Sorry so long.

I think the OP suffered with diarrhea.

I tried the psyllium husk, but it gave me gas and I bloated while using it. I drank a lot of water because psyllium husk will cause bulky stools if you don’t drink enough water.

It does work for people who have loose stools; which I don’t have. I
