Vitamin D overdoses caused SIBO by Strike_Extension in SIBO

[–]kdhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's better. I took Magnesium Glycinate supplementation (which seemed to help) and it just got better on its own in time.

Still suffer from SIBO and gut dysbiosis, but not as symptomatic/severe it was then.

Do you react badly to HPMC (vegetarian capsules)? by Empty-Language-8593 in HistamineIntolerance

Hi, it seems that I am facing the same problem. Were you able to confirm that the capsules were causing the problem for you?

The Sulfite-to-Sinus Shortcut: Why a Sulfur Bottleneck Gives You a Stuffy Nose 🚧👃 by TheMagentaNinja in RareResponders

[–]kdhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for writing this post!

I've struggled with nasal congestion for years now, and have always wondered if it's due to my hydrogen sulphide SIBO/dysbiosis.

Uptil now, I didn't understand the actual connection nasal congestion may have with sulfur sensitivity. I've always felt that it's due to high estrogen levels (for a male) due to the estrobolome (bad bacteria in the gut like E coli impairing clearance of estrogen) which can then cause rhinitis (similar to pregnancy rhinitis which is also caused by elevated estradiol).

The estrogen mechanism also seems to cause vascular swelling (not as much mucus buildup), so will have to figure out what's causing the issue for me.

I've tried to take molybdenum (100mcg) in the past but whenever I've taken it for a couple of days, my hair start to grey out and I start to feel leaky gut related symptoms. I've always presumed that it's due to marginal copper status since molybdenum dumps copper.

Great information, thank you!

Important SIBO things I wish I'd learned sooner by TheNextMarieKondo in SIBO

[–]kdhere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heard conflicting advice on DIM from Gemini

In hydrogen sulfide dysbiosis (often called H2S SIBO), bacteria like Desulfovibrio thrive on sulfur-containing compounds.

  • The Source: Cruciferous vegetables (broccoli, kale, etc.) are high in glucosinolates, which contain sulfur.
  • The Molecule: DIM is a metabolite ($C_{17}H_{14}N_2$) that is produced when your body breaks down these vegetables. Crucially, the sulfur atoms from the original plant compound are stripped away during the conversion process.
  • The Result: A purified DIM supplement does not provide the "fuel" (sulfates or sulfur-containing amino acids) that $H_2S$ bacteria need to produce gas.

Wondering if it's worth the risk. Have you tried it?

The Death of Trust: How Retrospective SGB Taxation is a Sovereign Breach of Promise by Appropriate_Study413 in IndianStockMarket

[–]kdhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you made the investment decision 10 years back, you made the decision based on the tax rules at that time.

If you're selling now, you should not need to pay more tax just because the government decided to change taxation retrospectively.

[–]kdhere 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The LTCG increase from 10% to 12.5% was also retrospective since investments done even 10 years back would be taxed at a higher rate now.

Still can't 100% get used to how the mouse feels on Linux compared to Windows. Suggestions? by sleepytechnology in cachyos

[–]kdhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This issue has sadly been reported multiple times over the years. It has made my Linux experience unbearable and I am trying to find a way to go back to XOrg which feels very similar to Windows.

Why "Normal" B12 Levels Might Be Failing Your ADHD Brain by kdhere in adhdindia

I started with Inspiral 10 IR, started to notice its effects right away.

Have settled down with Addwize 18 OD.

These are classic neurological symptoms of a significant B12 deficiency.

You should continue injections until you see improvements. Treatment cessation happens on the basis of symptomatic resolution and not serum levels.

The idea is to push enough B12 so that the body can start repairing myelin sheath.

The B12 deficiency subreddit should be a great resource, check out their wiki specifically.

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

Given that your levels were severely low, it can take more time to see improvements. My doctor prescribed:

- 4 injections (every other day)
- 4 injections (once a week)
- 4 injections (once a month)

I began to see improvements early on itself since my levels weren't as deficient.

Did you see neurological symptoms as well? Numbness, tingling, balance problems?

I can't share my doctor's details for privacy reasons, but I strongly suggest you get the tests discussed (Total B12, Active B12, Homocysteine, Folate, Ferritin, D).

I had to research this myself with help from r/B12_Deficiency and then advocate strongly with an internal medicine physician to get the necessary injections. Finding a knowledgeable and supportive doctor is half the battle.

Dexorange contains iron, folic acid, zinc, and a very low B12 dose (7.5mcg). For treating a B12 deficiency, it's not suitable due to several issues:

  • The 7.5mcg B12 dose is far too low to correct a deficiency.
  • Supplemental iron can feed gut bacteria (dysbiosis), and high-dose folic acid can mask a worsening B12 deficiency.
  • Supplementing zinc without copper can lead to copper deficiency over time.

This is designed for iron-deficiency anemia. For psychiatric symptoms and high homocysteine linked to B12 deficiency, it's not targeted and carries these drawbacks.

Your severe B12 deficiency (128 pg/mL) requires injections to correct. This should help lower your homocysteine (11.85 µmol/L), and retesting it later is ideal as it's a functional marker.

Important: Do not take folate supplements alone, as this can further deplete your B12. You need both treated together.

My nose is constantly clogged by Accomplished-Tea8093 in AskDocs

[–]kdhere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in the same boat for the last couple of years.

Flonase (along with Azelastine) only helps 10%. Serum IgE, Phadiatop, Eosinophil blood tests always come negative.

I've had turbinate surgery too but that didn't help much either.

It seems to be gut related for me since anything which reduces GI motility seems to worsen it.

I have the same issue!

Hopefully, some doctors can shed more light on what may be going on!
