Thanks for pointing that out 🙂

Thank you for your recommendations B! Recovery has been going well so far, I just need to continue with the probiotic supplements and foods.

Thank you for your recommendations Daniel! I have been taking the probiotics from the first day I started the antibiotics and will continue. Will definitely try the food options too!

Hi Sheetal,
As Naveed mentioned, Rude Health and Plenish are both great brands. You will find them at Spinney’s or Waitrose. There is also another brand called Innocent that has a variety of vegan milk, you will find them in the refrigerator section of Spinney’s/Waitrose.
Hope this helps. 🙂

Thank you Bernadette! Just a note that it was a blood elements test and not a hair elements.

Hi again! 🙂
My first naturopath used a bioresonance machine to diagnose me, the first time I saw him he said I had a flu virus and “dead” fungus left in my body (I had done a candida cleanse around 2 years prior), weak stomach and intestines. To be honest, I’m not sure if I had chealtion because he didn’t really explain his method but I assumed that it was based on the supplements he gave me. He also worked with me to address mental/emotional aspects that might have been affecting my body. He told me to omit dairy, gluten, processed food, sugar (I did this for around 1-2 months initially) and to avoid dust and any chemicals in household & personal care products. He recommended several supplements in the course of his treatment, some are:
• Ashwagandha, magnesium biglycinate, calcium carbonate, zinc, liquorice root, curcumin, blue green algae, omega complex, milk thistle, cranberry protein powder.
• Ozone treatment to combat oxidative stress with vitamin b complex in IV, and vitamin D injections.I have to say my health did improve with the help of this doctor but I got frustrated as he would give supplements and tell me to take them without going into why I need them.
The second naturopath is the one who ordered the tests I attached in the previous post but she is no longer practicing so I wasn’t able to get any advice from her. I was supposed to get a GI Map but the clinic ran a GI panel instead, do you have any recommendations as to where I can get this done in Dubai?
As for my thyroid, these are the best level of antibodies I have had in years, they were above 2000 and in the 1000’s previously. They did not change much with the naturopath treatment, however, I witnessed a slight reduction in my thyroid size following the treatment.
I have attached the results of the blood elements test here again. Please note that I had not been supplementing selenium, I have ordered the supplement you recommended from Thorne. As for my iron, it shows that it’s high in my blood elements but my ferritin has been low every time I tested it the past year or so (18.51 last February).
As you mentioned, I think I need to go gluten and dairy free again. Thank you for your recommendations, I will check out the videos soon.

Thank you so much for all your suggestions in the previous post. I was going through something difficult recently, which is why I have been inactive on here. I went to see 2 naturopaths since my last post. The first one did a lot of things, which included chelation, vitamin B12/D injections, and ozone therapy. I definitely saw some difference in my health but due to lack of explanations I went to another naturopath. The other one requested some blood and stool tests, which I will share here. I have not gone back to any of these doctors due to differing circumstances and I would really appreciate your input.
Also, a very important update is that I no longer have severe debilitating anxiety and I’m doing much better overall. I still struggle with fatigue, brainfog, and some digestive issues. I also struggle to feel motivated to do things, but I’ve been trying.
I also changed my Endocrinologist and she reduced my Levothyroxine dose as my previous doctor refused to and I think this has helped me feel better.
Below are my results for your input. Thank you for all your efforts. [1. Thyroid Blood Test.pdf][2. Glucose Blood Test.pdf][3. Liver etc Blood Test.pdf][4. Stool Test.pdf][5. Comprehensive Blood Elements Test.pdf]

Hi Bernadette! I wanted to update you on my health. It’s been a rollercoaster ride for me and still is! I got better and felt that my anxiety was manageable and now I’m back at it again. I’ve been working on my gut health and I feel better (no more burning stomach pain and no bloating). I do struggle sometimes due to trapped gas in my chest. But my anxiety has been so debilitating. It feels very physical, I get palpitations, I feel like I can’t control my breathing and I feel like I’m being chocked. I often feel dizzy and have headaches. I have eye floaters and eye cloudiness. As a result, I have had to take time off work, I’m unable to drive with ease and I my day to day life has been greatly impacted. I often feel depressed and unmotivated to do the smallest of tasks such as tidying up my home. I recently tested my ferritin and it was 24 last month, this month it is 13. I remembered a time in my life that I was facing debilitating anxiety and it was the same back then, I had anemia and gut issues. That time I got an iron transfusion but felt dreadful after it and it took a very long time to feel normal again. Iron tablets from the hospital also seem to just worsen my symptoms. Any advice? Should I be checking other things? FYI, my thyroid results are “normal” according to my Dr and the antibodies are lower than last time.

yes the H Pylori test was a breath test. I was actually adding lemon water to my morning routine and noticed it made things worse recently so I guess you are right! I watched the video and will work on my gut. Thank you

Hi! I’m feeling better thank you. I think my throat problem is related to my digestive issues. I’ve been having a burning stomach, my throat feels tight after eating and it feels like I’m choking on my saliva somehow. I also feel bloated and belch quite a bit. It feels like gas is stuck in my chest. Anything acidic makes it worse. I’m taking probiotics and avoiding irritating foods but still struggling. I guess all my health issues caught up with me after getting sick.

Hi Bernadette, the H. Pylori test came back negative. My anxiety got slightly better, but I developed some other symptoms. I’ve been having dizzy spells and some swallowing difficulties. Sometimes when I swallow (even just saliva), it feels like I suffocate and lose control. It’s hard for me to explain. And last night I wasn’t able to have dinner, felt like the food was poking the back of my nose. I currently also cannot sleep properly because of this. I don’t know if this could be gut related, sinus issues or something else. It’s been hard trying to figure out what is going on with my health recently.

Bernadette, thank you so much for taking the time to give me a thorough answer. I got a H. Pylori test done today in order to know how to address my gut issues. I will look into getting the supplement you recommended. I’m just trying to be gentle with myself and rest as much as I can.
