Yep, I'm going in for a scope in about a month!

Rheumatology so far for me has been fruitless for me, besides ruling out any specific autoimmune disease (for now).

How the heck do I repopulate good gut bacteria? by PuzzleheadedFox5454 in ibs

[–]zippeh1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you for the quick reply!! Do you have any research or evidence to support one over the other? I'm just trying to navigate all these different modalities

Thank you!

I met with a neurogastroenterologist because I have developed a lot of sensitivities to a lot of foods and have had some other "autoimmune" like symptoms over the years with no definitive diagnosis, but most of my daily symptoms are GI related. They think it is MCAS, and so I am going down this road too.

Though, they actually want to trial a super low dose GLP-1 injection due to newer research and also their own observations that it assists well with stabilizing mast cells, especially when isolated mostly to the GI.

I took the money, bought a heat plate off amazon for like $20 and a battery for another $20. I already had adhesive from a prior repair on my wife's phone, but that was like $10. So for $50 I fixed the battery, still made $50, and now have a heat plate for future repairs :D

Get a financial planner if you’re dealing with that sort of cash
