Thank you

Hi Daniel, just quick response that I’ll come back to you shortly.

Hi B. and Daniel,

Apologies for the delayed response.

Weaning off Famotidine (H2 Blocker)
Unfortunately, apart from cold turkey, the doctors here don’t seem to have a weaning off protocol for me to follow. I’ve had this discussion with multiple primary practitioners in my surgery since 2019 and the feedback is the same.

To be honest, I don’t think I can stop famotidine at the moment. I had to stop famotidine for 12 days for the Bravo test on 9th May. 7 days prior to the capsule attached to my food pipe, but I could have natural remedies. However, after the capsule was attached, I couldn’t have any remedies. It was extremely difficult. Also, see attached histology report from 9th May Bravo test. I’ve yet to find out whether I do reflux which is the purpose of this test. I’ll know on June 5th from the data recorded.
[9.5.23 Histology Report During Bravo procedure.pdf] 
I’ve noticed type of gastritis varies depending on where in the stomach biopsies are taken. I’ve had so many biopsies and the type of gastritis varies.

On June 5th, I have a follow up appointment with the Gastroenterologist to discuss my video capsule endoscopy as well. The reason for having the video capsule endoscopy was to check whether I might be bleeding from the small intestine as the colonoscopy was normal. The Occult FIT marker in the last GI MAP showed a high figure.

H. Pylori
I’m not taking the matula tea as customer services told me the number is already below the maximum range and the tea will not reduce it further from the reading I have. I was about to order it and sent my readings. 

Below are his responses. 

Dear Naveed
Any reading below 1.0e3 is considered by GI Map test to be H. Pylori free , or less than for example 2.4e2 or 8.9e2 ( again not highlighted in red )  with no virulence factors . Taking the course of tea may marginally decrease the 0e2 reading . There is no 0.0e2 on the GI MAP test . There may be another factor on your GI Map test reading that may be causing the symptoms .

As the reading is below 1.0e3 , the guarantee falls away . 

Kind regards
Matula Tea Support

Instead, I am taking mastic gum, zinc l carnosine, magnesium ascorbate. Zinc L carnosine, I can’t tolerate on it’s own and have to take it with food. 

I couldn’t tolerate gastromend on it’s own. I think it’s due to the ascorbic acid and or zinc l carnosine. 

I’ve tried cabbage juice (8oz) but due to the gastroperisis, I am full after having the juice and then find myself after eating, I’m extremely full. Also, the juice burns my stomach. 

Could I add anything else to ensure H. PYLORI is below detectable limited.

With gastritis and H. Pylori still present, I don’t know how to acidify the stomach. 

Liver Enzyme
The liver enzyme marker nearing 30 u/L. What does this mean? Is this in the current blood test? 

D-limonene,
I am taking it with my evening meal, but only 250mg. I noticed, it says not to take it if having gastritis. I haven’t increased it yet. What should I do? 

DUTCH PLUS Test
I’ll repeat it. I recall it was quite involved which was the reason not doing it. Is this more comprehensive compared to the DUTCH complete test. How much is it through Nordics Lab in £? 

  
I think he mentioned in passing that I have autoimmune issues. I know this is serious, but he didn’t seemed to think so. To be honest, I’m not sure what this means. Does it mean, the cells which produce acid are damaged.

Yes, I am avoiding dairy and gluten, processed foods. I’m having a flair up right now. It also happens when my stomach is empty for long.

I have avoided so many foods due to the histamine issue. Also, I can only have eat two meals a day.

Constipation
Yes, I am but at the same time. Food intake is poor, meaning not much to come out No, I haven’t seen the constipation module. Will do.

Thank you B.

Is this the one?

Cool, you can drop most of the fruit or veg down the chute.

Sound advise buddy. Thank you.

FYI. I had my video capsule endoscopy last week. Next Tuesday, I will be undergoing a 96 hours bravo test. As of today, I have been asked to stop femotidine and and will have to until 19th May. This is a tough test.

Good evening Daniel,

As gastromend mentions to have four capsules daily. Could I have 4 mastic gums daily as I have allergy research group mastic gum capsules?

Thank you for the guidance. I’ll try to find a liquid version. I notice there is a liquid version by quick silver. It’s a pump mechanism.

I wanted to try TTFD to see if it helps with Gastroperisis. Regarding Folate, I’m not taking a separate folate. Just the B complex liquid.

The folate in in B complex liquid is 400ug. Is this sufficient?

Thank you Daniel

Good evening Daniel,

It irritated my stomach. Also, felt slight heart burn.

It could be the ascorbic acid or even zinc l carnosine. I know I can’t tolerate zinc l carnosine on it’s own and have to take it with food.

Good morning Daniel, I’ve ordered the Thianix. Do you have personal experience with clients with this brand. I did come across a cream, but it was in the US.

Should I continue with the liquid version of B complex by metabolics?

Hi Daniel, could I take TTFD and the B complex to keep things in balance. Also, wanted to know whether there is any correlation between different minerals and Thiamin. For example, zinc needs to balance with copper and vice versa.

Thiamix, what dosage should I take please?

Sure thing

Mum has diabetic neurapthy. I could get her to try TTFD. I just looked at the vitamin patch I take and it contains Thiamin mononitrate.

Thank you Sir. I will take a look into Thiamax. I am still taking B complex liquid at the moment.
