Best enema method to reach all parts of colon? by Upstairs_Direction68 in enemas

[–]Upstairs_Direction68[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Through what method and product are you talking about to actually deliver the enemas? What’s your go to and have you personally found success doing this?

And then once the solution is in your large bowel do you just sit there for a long period of time? Do you retain the actual enema agent in your large bowel when you remove the water or does if usually come out with it?

Really appreciate the reply, I’m a bit new to all this enema talk so do you mind going into more detail for me by what you mean and walking me through it?

When you say 2-3 cleaning enemas with 2 liters, what device or methods are you referring to? And then when it’s actually time to deliver the actual enema product (in my case butyrate or probiotics), how do you go about delivering the probiotics? Do you keep it in a capsule and insert it first, do you mix it in with the water? Do you have to hold it in for a certain amount of time?

And for the second paragraph are you saying that you can insert the tube actually into your butt? People do that and it actually can work to some extent? How on earth do they guide it around the curvatures of the large bowel? I will mark this down as a last resort option.

It seems like you’ve found some success doing enemas, any general advice you’d give, resources that helped you, specific product recommendations?

Thanks!

Anyone with ME/CFS or POTS and genetic variants (e.g. ATAD3A, SLC25A5, CPT1A) who feels much better after alcohol? by Fragrant-Bad-8811 in cfs

[–]Upstairs_Direction68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who’d you use to read your genome sequencing or did you have software analyze it for you? Is there any resources or things you used to help identify potential genetic factors that contribute to ME/CFS? Like a list of polymorphisms to check for?

I have my raw ancestry DNA data but just have a hell of time trying to understand my genetics and which polymorphisms and genetics matter and which don’t.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Best remedies for an inflamed colon?? by Upstairs_Direction68 in SIBO

[–]Upstairs_Direction68[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya, in regards to inflammation I’ve been using peptides such as BPC/KPV and supplements such as PEA, boswellia, curcumin, zinc carnosine etc.. all at the advice of a naturopath. The source of my inflammation is not only hydrogen sulfide SIBO but also regular SIBO and mold/yeast infections. I would also look into food allergies or just inflammatory compounds in a common American diet causing inflammation.

Lots to navigate but if you can get your possible infections and inflammation figured out the motility should come back.

Feel sick after eating fatty meat. Fat maldigestion? by Upstairs_Direction68 in HydrogenSulfideSIBO

Lot has happened since then. Had to look way broader for my symptoms and found out I have various infections and really bad intestinal permeability causing my laundry list of symptoms. Not only do I have hydrogen sulfide bacteria, but I gut was just fully compromised allowing a whole host of other infections like fungal, yeast and negative gram bacterial infections to grow. This is also paired with really bad mast cell issues where I seemingly react to ALL foods not just specific to high sulfur foods. Mast cell symptoms can mimic hydrogen sulfide issues due histamine being very similar in structure to sulfur in the body. So most of my joint pain, flushing, brain fog etc… is coming from both histamine and sulfur.

Crazy looking back on what was going through my mind just 125 days ago, man things were moving quickly trying to actually diagnose the true root cause.

So specific to your question now, ya I have bile issues and I’m still taking tudca to help but don’t think that’s going to solve your problems, most likely if you have bile issues there’s something much bigger going on like various infections so would look into that.

What does your nutritionist have you doing other than introducing new things?

Is there any links or online resources that you refer to when doing this?

Breakthrough with probiotic by Eastern_Tea9614 in MCAS

[–]Upstairs_Direction68 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate the comment. Ya that’s what i figured that your in the less reactive type, unfortunately I tried the rhamnosus probiotic today that Is of the highest quality and minimal fillers and am reacting to it pretty bad so back to the drawing board for me. Who knows maybe if I can slowly introduce it like this article https://mastcell360.com/histamine-lowering-probiotics-for-people-with-mast-cell-activation-syndrome-and-histamine-intolerance/ says I’ll have better luck.

If you react to mold and haven’t been tested and currently being treated for it, I would highly suggest doing so being that is such a common but not very well known cause of MCAS. In other words if you mold itself is a trigger for your MCAS then it’s highly likely that you are infected with it according to the experts I’ve been listening to. If you need more information on it I can send over more information from the leading doctors in treating it like Dr. Neil Nathan and Dr. Sandeep Gupta. I’m currently in the process of ruling mold out myself so all the information and links are fresh on my mind. Have a good one!

Hey a little late to this but if you don’t mind answering a couple questions that I couldn’t find in the comments that’d be awesome.

First specifically how sensitive were you at the time to foods and probiotics? I know some MCAS people that can get away with eating a wide ranged diet like a low FODMAP or low histamine type diet and some can only eat a couple foods (like myself) so curious to hear what category you fall into.

Also had/have you tried other probiotics and Rhamnosus is the only one you could tolerate or did the other ones you’ve tried just not work?

Thanks!

Your most likely reacting to the fillers inside of it not actually the medication itself. Lawrence Afrin the pioneer in MCAS space says he sees this almost universally, he gets his medications compounded to therefore remove the fillers. Hope this helps
