    Thanks B.

    When is he your guest?

    I will watch the homeopath guest recording.

    Could iron sprays work as well?

    Good morning B.

    Thank you for your detailed response.

    How can I improve on my ferritin level without having to go through another IV infusion if the doctor suggests. I am worried about taking another supplement with my stomach issues, especially gastroparesis which is very debilitating. Gastroparesis is affecting the lining.

    No, I won’t be able to tolerate meat at all. I can just about cope with chicken I’m afraid.

    I still have the gastritis and yes I did try betaine HCl without pepsin. Around 180mg to 200mg, I would get heartburn or warm feeling, so I stopped taking it.

    I am taking digest select digestive enzyme by moss nutrition and microbiome labs megaguard which appears to be a Prokinetic. I just started this last week. I find it uncomfortable and take one capsule. Maybe it’s the ginger.

    It doesn’t matter, what I do. I just can’t tolerate it.

    I’ve just repeated the gi map to see what is my gut situation is.

    I am meeting the Endocrinologist who by chance has asked me to have a blood test for full iron studies. The GP surgery only requested ferritin.

    B. Is my cholesterol high? There is serum cholesterol of 6.1. Is this considered high? Is this also known as fasting cholesterol?

    Hi B. ,

    Yes it does. I am looking for a DE which is less potent, but able to digest protein.

    Thank you for the clarification with regards to other macronutrients units.

    @Bernadette Abraham hi. I met him once. He prescribed one of the supplements by the company you mentioned. I took it but it would burn my stomach. He wanted me to take it frequently during the day. I couldn’t tolerate it and never went back. Plus, he was very costly and told me stop supplements through some technique which I could tolerate.

    I am not confident in trying metula tea in case they don’t refund. I could try silver hydrosol. Never heard of this.

    I’m not 100% gluten free due to having refined sugar foods at night. It’s only the sugar craving. I don’t have anything else.

    I have not come across acai bowl.

    The mango sorbet is a great idea.

    GI revive is a great product. Unfortunately, it has mucin pork based. I haven’t been able to find an equivalent product.

    I can’t tolerate bone broth on it’w or chickenrmeqt stock due to the fat. Cabbage juice burns. You mention, okra. Do you mean drink the slimy water?

    @Bernadette Abraham Hi B.

    I can confirm that i did not have bananas, avocados, walnuts, tomatoes, egg plants and pineapple as I don’t have high histamine or nightshade foods. Are there markers in the report which say otherwise? Also, the doctor didn’t advise me to stop any foods.

    Regarding B12 and B9, I did not take these for about a month prior to testing I think.

    I definitely need high dosage in any case.

    Sure, I will watch the fatty acid course.

    Yes, I’ve read your response about GI map.

    B. Genova website have have interpretation guide to the metabolomix test, but I can’t access it as I need a practitioner login. Is it possible to obtain this interpretation guide so that I can interpret the results myself if I repeat it.

    B. When is your next live call pls.

    @Bernadette Abraham hello.

    I have heartburn, acid reflux, bloating, abdominal distension, stomach burning occasionally, low energy, poor sleep due to having nightmares or getting woken up by mum when she’s not feeling well, confusion, loss of balance.

    Also, I am passing wind, but fouls smell and stools too. Is this due to the sugar.

    I am self injecting B12 alternate days and taking this folate by metabolics.

    https://www.metabolics.com/methyltetrahydrofolate.html

    I have yet to look for a B Complex excluding B12 and folate

    You mentioned I am following a high fat, moderate protein and low car diet. I tgues I am without realising. Which markers show this?

    I am not taking high histamine or nightshade foods. Do the results say otherwise?

    Do I need omega 6 too. What is gla?

    I am taking magnesium byglicnate capsules . Some days, I can’t tolerate it.

    Biggest issue B. is sugar.

    @Bernadette Abraham hello. In June 2023, H. Pylori was below detectable limit. Prior to testing in June 2023, I took one capsule of mastic gum which was 500mg only in the morning, zinc l caronsine, vitamin c and a and is it Brocolli sprouts capsule (not all the time as my stomach couldn’t cope with it).

    I continued taking mastic gum 500mg only in the morning and stopped Brocolli sprouts after testing negative. However, H. Pylori returned in January 2024 and now still there even in June even though number is reduced.

    Prior to testing in June, I was taking mastic gum, the same amount, zinc l. Caronsine, the Lactobacillus and Bifidium probiotic blends and megaspore, vitamin c.

    Unfortunately, the sugar craving is still there which happens at night. Which markers show I am having gluten. Is the sugar causing the Zonnulin and calprotectin. By the evening, I have no energy and feel faint.

    I am finding when I have my jasmine rice, chicken (be it boneless chicken pieces or drumstick), vegetables such as carrots, pak choi, courgettes, butternut squash). It’s too heavy and painful on the stomach. I am still hungry and sugar craving kicks in straight after at night. The biscuits, ice cream which cools my stomach as it is hot inside is soothing or anything else satisfies my hunger that night, but then then the following day I am bloated, and abdominal area is tight and painful alot more than if I don’t have any sugar for about a week. Lack of energy and hunger and maybe gut dysbiosis is causing the sugar craving.

    In the afternoon, I have oatmeal, quinoa flakes and millet flakes as porridge. I have one boiled egg and I add one tea spoon of hemp protein and blend the porridge.

    Basically I have two meals a day which I can only tolerate. I make up the rest of it by having sugary foods at night. These foods don’t cause pain because they don’t fibre.

    Betiane hcl, I’m now on 220mg. I do get heartburn somedays and somedays, I’m OK.

    Unfortunately, I still rely on famotidine 20mg at night only. Otherwise, I get severe heartburn and reflux. My throat hurts as well.

    Should I stop it, due to the h. Pylori being there. Also, I have oesoohagitis grade a and mild chronic gastirits.

    I will hold back on killing thr opportunistic bacteria as my stomach can’t cope with more antimicrobials.

    Can I have foods with akermensia instead?

    I’ve tried home made sauerkraut but it burns my stomach.

    When I click on

    Learn > courses > Adrenal Balance > Not enrolled message displayed.

    If I click on the Adrenal Balance Thumb nail to view the contents, I am being told, “the course is currently closed.”

    The same for Beginner’s Health Roadmap and so on.

    Please see attached screenshots for example for the adrenal balance course.
