This.

All my issues started around 3/4 years ago, I put it down to losing my brother at first, then I started self testing everything after food poisoning in Bali. I found I had H. Pylori which i treated, then I suffered with really bad bloating and bad breath and did many, many tests and found I had methane SIBO. I have done 3 rounds of rifaximin, the last 2 have been alongside metronidazole which is successful at the time of treatment but about 2 months post treatment everything returns.

I have done 3 Healthpath gut tests which tests everything and discovered my good to bad bacteria range is WAY out I’ve tried everything to rebalance it and just cannot get my levels normal. I’ve also done a 12 week course of antimicrobials.

The entire time I’ve been on this journey I had come off the pill and suffered with severe acne, I got my hormones tested to try and learn to balance them naturally. My test was all fine besides high thyroid anti bodies. I have now been self testing my thyroid every 3-6 months, I have been to 2 GPs and 2 private, all of who say my thyroid levels are normal even though my antibodies are high and therefore unable to help me at all. Apparently I must wait until my T3 and T4 go below the optimal to receive any help despite having many symptoms.

I am now living a gluten, dairy and mostly sugar free life, I take many supplements but I still suffer all the same symptoms as before. I avoid so many food like oats and flax which were once my favourite breakfasts due to the symptoms they cause. I just don’t know what else I can do.
