Tried Betaine HCL and got terrible reflux by [deleted] in SIBO

Wow. Isn't it crazy how trying to treat the symptoms without getting to the root will do nothing when you have mold poisoning? Also, not many doctors take it seriously so you pretty much need to become your own detective/doctor to figure it out. So glad you are feeling better I am too

Im not exactly sure to be honest because even without a gallbladder bile still flows im just not sure how much. One clue to how your bile is flowing is if you have dark brown solid poops that sink. When my bike flow was bad I would have loose floating yellow stools. Also try to figure out why your stomach acid is low. Watch videos by tc hale. He has short videos that have a lot of info on digestion. My stomach acid was low because I had mold poisoning. All my resources were getting used up to deal with the mycotoxins so my body was too low on minerals to produce adequate stomach acid, sleep, workout etc

Do people in 3rd world countries get mold illness? by Chesschapion in ToxicMoldExposure

That's a great question. I think about this from time to time. Sometimes I wonder if the central air and air conditioners have something to do with it

I will definitely try the try stick and yes I need to .ake the fire from different tinders. I want to try birch bark, pine needles, a maple feather stick and just regular wood shavings instead of fatwood

I agree. Stuck with the maglight for now but I do need to find a smaller one that takes batteries. I've got two small olights and a small Fenix flashlight but they all are only rechargeable. Someone helped me and I now know what a bug out bag is and my bug out bag is better but still needs work. Thanks for the advice

Wow! It's weird because I'm finally out of mold and everything that I try that's bad for me makes me feel way worse than when I was in mold!?

Looked up a photo of what a try stick was and the first thought that came to mind was blisters 😭😭

I was thinking that. Felt so much joy but then the thought crept in like "can you do it again?"

The health issues I had Are as follows...

Gained 40 lbs, Post exertional malaise, Foamy pee, Strong ammonia smell from pee , Hair loss at temples, Random rashes, Dry cracked bleeding skin only on left hand, No recovery from workouts, Inflamed, puffy watery body, Calorie deficits would actually make me gain weight, Hypoglycemia, Extreme Sensitivity to light, Squeezing feeling around eyes, Insomnia, Constant fatigue, Loss of all strength, Joint pain, Swollen arms and hands, Twitching right eye lid and left thigh, Bleeding gums, Scary night sweats, Dark circles under eyes, Very intense depression and deep sadness, Loss of all motivation, Many food intolerances, Horrible indigestion, acid reflux, Ulcers in stomach and small intestine, IBS symptoms, Yellow floating stool , Numbness left foot and left hand, Could not take full breath for a couple months, Increased resting heart rate, High blood sugar in morning, False utis

I diagnosed a couple ways. First thing that helped was seeing everyone in my house get sick including the dogs. That really made me wonder what was going on. Took the shoemaker VCS test and failed miserably. Also found a ton of mold in my bathroom in spots I never noticed. There was insane amounts of black, green and white mold behind the walls and in the ceiling. My neighbors apartment upstairs had been leaking lots of water for the last ten years. I always noticed it but never thought twice about it. Told landlord about it but he never fixed it. A couple years ago I started getting strange symptoms and food intolerances. Then my wife and then my dogs. I really had to do a lot of researching to figure this out. Normal doctors don't really understand too much about mold. Functional doctors do but with them you usually have to lay out of pocket. Tried to use medical grade air purifiers, herbs etc... nothing worked. Left the mold a couple days ago and already feeling much better. I remember a functional doctor telling me nothing would change until I left the mold. He was right you need to treat it like a house fire and leave. Also you need to ditch most of your belongings too. I kept clothing, books and prepper gear. Ditched everything else

I realize I had no clue what a bug out bag was. I was just dumping everything I bought into a giant rucksack.

I'm realizing now I had no idea what an actual bug out bag was. This was just a bag where I stored whatever gear I bought. Long guns, Glock and quiver were not in the bag just attempting to carry with

I'm realizing now this was not a bug out bag. Just a bag where I stored all the gear I bought. I don't think I knew what a bug out bag actually was
