@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…

Hi @naslam1603 – was that a formal diagnosis that was given to you? Are you currently experiencing symptoms? If so, please list them out.

Hi @Annie – unfortunately, microbiome testing is still in its infancy, meaning all tests currently have limitations. The ones I currently use for helpful insights on microbiome balance and overall gut/digestive health are Diagnostic Solutions GI Map or Genova’s GI Effects tests.
I 100% agree with the notion that the gut microbiome and mind…

@naslam1603 for my sensitive clients with compromised digestion, I usually recommend the Biocidin LSF version (or liquid if cost is a concern) to help with absorption. The starting dose could be anywhere from 1 to 3 drops per day, and gradually increasing it to 5 drops, 3 x per day for 30 to 60 days.
And yes, that product contains many…

Hi @naslam1603 – weaning off famotidine can take time, especially if you’ve been on it for a while. If you couldn’t tolerate 150mg, I’ve had clients buy empty capsules and dump half the content into another capsule to reduce the dosage even further. It should also be taken mid-meal to avoid that burning sensation. Even a low dose or a…

@naslam1603 – I understand your hesitation with taking antibiotics given the borderline levels and history of gut dysfunction. This is when herbs can be considered as an alternative route. They can be just as effective minus the side effects of antibiotics, but they do take a little longer to rectify the situation (e.g. ~3 months of…

Hi @naslam1603 – yes, this is the correct forum.
There is in fact improvement in your latest GI Map results done in December 2024. Although it’s still being detected, H Pylori has improved by 56% since your Jan 2024 results. Working with a practitioner to wean off of acid suppressant is the best way to prevent a recurrence since H Pylori thrives…

Hi @ivona_n – sorry to hear you’re not feeling well.
You didn’t mention the doses you were taking of each, but when I or a family member get sick, I always use my go-to immune supportive protocol which includes arabinogalactans and high doses of vitamin D, vitamin A, and zinc for up to a week. You can find more details about that protocol on …

Removing radiation from children
@Annie Mary Ruth has great products for kids which you can checkout here for vitamin C and here for vitamin E.
Glutathione is generally safe but should be avoided by those with G6PD deficiency, sulfur sensitivities, or active infections. Cancer patients and those taking certain medications should also talk to their doctor as it may interfere…
