Thank you B.

B.

ALT is also raised.

CT abdomen scan showed a gall stone in the bile duct.

She’s going to be admitted for an ercp procedure.

Thank you for your detailed response. I don’t have access to the course, but I have downloaded the PDF file.

See attached course message.

Yes, I think understand in that despite lemon contain contains citric acid, the underlying minerals are alkaline once digested.

I tried a glass of water with 1 tsp of lemon juice extracted from the lemon. Unfortunately, it did cause a little heartburn. I’ll tray again later.

Good morning Daniel,

I started taking K2 since becoming aware of functional medicine in 2019 and reading up in your course. However, I didn’t realise about MK4 and MK7 out there.

Hi Daniel,

Out of curiosity, I was just looking up my last Vitamin D reading. It was from November 2024 – 118.4 nmol/L.

I might be able to get hold of it from

Yes, this is indeed very helpful Daniel. My next question, have you come across a liquid version of Vitamin D K2 MK7. I would like to switch, but can’t find one.

Hi B. & Daniel,

I’m meeting Professor Sooriakumaran on 26th September and will raise both Daniel’s points as well as the findings from my results so far. I may have to undergo an ultrasound scan or MRI in addition to the cystoscopy.

Regarding Famotidine, I’ve never been able to come off the 20mg dose (which I only take at night), despite working with a practitioner in 2024. I also tried micro-dosing with very small amounts of Betaine HCL, but continued to experience heartburn.

At present, I don’t take any antacid in the morning, but I do get severe heartburn when eating protein (e.g., two small chicken breast pieces) with a small amount of vegetables, even when blended. I usually need Gaviscon immediately afterwards.

A quick update on Mum.

She was discharged on September 10th without needing an ERCP. Instead, the consultant carried out an MRCP scan just to be sure, which showed no stone. He mentioned that the 2mm stone, previously lodged in the ampulla of Vater, may have flushed out naturally.

Her ALP, ALT, and GGT markers have since come down, and she’s had no symptoms. The consultant has asked the GP to repeat blood tests on October 2nd to check where the markers are now. If symptoms such as high fever, yellowing of the skin or pain in the right hand side of her abdomen reappear, we should inform the gastroenterologist department immediately and ERCP will be need to go ahead.

Hi B. ,

Mum was moved from Accident & Emergency into the Acute Assessment Unit at midnight last night. Unfortunately, they don’t carry out procedure over the weekend, so the gastroenterology team will review her tomorrow and then put her on the waiting list. This is what I was told this morning, over the phone. I’ll be heading in shortly to get a clearer picture.

I’d also been looking into your liver and detox module, as mum had mentioned having pain on the right hand side last Friday. The module was extremely useful and timely. I had my hunch it could be gallstones even before the CT scan, based on what you explained about blockages. I also picked up on the raised ALP from your course and raised it with the GP and nephrologist where it was going up and down gradually over the past three months, though at the time they didn’t seem too concerned.

I really hope the procedure goes smoothly and without complications.

Thanks so much for your kind wishes.

Hi B.

Thank you for the clarification. Aha, I recall Geoffrey was going to make a course available to you at some point. Sure, I’ll watch it after the SIBO programme.

Thank you B.

Thank you so much once again for your detailed response. I had my doubts about the blood test results. To be honest, I simply went with what the consultant said that I had high spike protein and he also wrote it in the clinic letter to my GP. As I result, he prescribed me Ivermectin and Low Dosage Naltrexone. I did purchase them, though reluctantly, but haven’t taken them because of my doubts about whether I had long COVID or high spike protein. It’s s a relief to hear from you that I don’t have either.

I don’t have any respiratory issues, but do have fatigue and brain fog which are most likely from my digestive issues.

I’ll also look into Jill’s research and her recommendations, as well as Dr. McCulloch’s protocol. But thankfully, I don’t think I’ll be needing those protocols. You’ve clarified that the results are really more about antibodies, which makes sense now. Sorry, my naivety kicked in there.

Thank you B.

Yes, absolutely.

Hi Daniel,

Once again, thank you very much for your detailed and thoughtful response. I really appreciate it.

I’ll take a look with the alcohol free digestive bitters first, as my stomach lining is feeling a bit irritated and I want to avoid anything too harsh. I’ll make sure to double check the ingredients, especially for orange or citrus extracts, which can be a trigger for me. If needed, I might consider the alcohol versions in small amounts, possibly diluted in warm water.

As for the mucosal lining support, you were absolutely right about GI Revive, it’s an excellent product. Unfortunately, I can’t take it due to the pork derived mucin, which I can’t take. I do take slippery elm, marshmallow root powders, L-glutamine, zinc L-carnosine, and DGL regularly. I’ve also used Megamucosa in the past and found it helpful, so I’m planning to go back to that now that my gut lining feels more reactive again.

Thanks again for all the options and your helpful insights.

Hi Daniel,

I’ll go ahead and order your original recommendation – Klaire Labs.

Thank you.
