@Annie – that’s amazing to hear! If you don’t mind sharing the cost and if it’s possible to do familial fecal transplant through self-pay, I’d love to know so I can pass on the info to others who may need it in the future.

And I’m so happy to hear that your brother has improved as well! Don’t underestimate the toxic effects of mold – even…

@Annie – there are many brands that provide supplemental glutathione only, and that’s where Fullscript’s catalog can be really helpful to sort through the different brands and compare ingredients as well with their filter features.

I often recommended Seeking Health’s Liposomal Glutathione (original mint) to clients, but there are many other brands too.

@naslam1603 – I replied in a different thread. I’ll recopy my reply about supporting better bile flow here:

Please watch this video from the gut health masterclass to understand how to better support liver health and bile flow for various situations.

@Annie – yes I knew she was coming out with her own test, but if I recall it’s to look at bifido strains specifically. She discovered during Covid that those with low levels of Bifidobacteria had the worst outcomes and vice versa. She has a cute slogan/hashtag called #savethebif 🙂

Do keep us posted if you hear back from her regarding your…

The Contraception Guide

My definitive guide to contraception. Find out which birth control method is best for your body. Is your current contraceptive harmful to your health?

@naslam1603 – was this a formal diagnosis? What I see is that DAO is low, which is contributing to higher histamine levels. DAO is produced in the brush border of the gut lining, therefore is highly influenced by microbiome balance and overall gut health. Since you already know that there is dysbiosis from the GI Map and borderline SIBO…

@naslam1603 – I would encourage you to search through Amrita Nutrition’s catalog to see what’s available near you since that’s often a limitation for you.

I have also recommended Quicksilver’s liposomal vitamin C before, but it may have the same effect as Seeking Health’s product. A capsule in that case might be a better option to provide…
