Thank you @Bernadette_Abraham !

Very useful.

At the time this test was taken I had the streptococcus B urinary infection. That was thankfully taken care of.

I’m waiting for this last blood test (2days ago) to be emailed to me, so during this time I had the food poisoning. I’m waiting for the stool test to see what exactly happened there..

The…

Dear @Bernadette_Abraham

My platelet count has been decreasing over time and now I have really lower than normal. I’ll have it investigated now of course, but I wanted to check if you could point me in the right direction in terms of why this could be happening (I have been iron deficient for a while for sure so will discuss if I need iron…

Hi @Bernadette Abraham and community,

could anyone suggest a reliable gastroenterologist in Dubai who would help with investigations with a functional medicine approach.

thank you

Thank you very much Daniel, this is so formative. I’ll be doing some research and learning based on your and Bernadette’s suggestions and resources shared this weekend.

Thank you!!

Hello @Bernadette_Abraham

Would you have any suggestions for where to do annual health check up in Dubai? I guess where it would be most comprehensive or where we can customize most?

Thank you

Hello @Daniel Schepers and @Bernadette Abraham ,

So yesterday unexpectedly I had a strange night, going to bed a bit unsettled and waking up with a shivering and little shaky, with some stiffness under arm on my left side.. felt a little like a few years ago when I had some panic attacks in the night.
I managed to fall asleep again… Read more

Hi Daniel,

Thank you so much for asking. It was good, it’s just very satisfying so see how strong we can be, saying no to so many things (like grains, sugar, diary etc…) and feel good about it. So for me is a great psychological achievement.

This time(second time) my digestion was not as great as the first time (more constipation) but I… Read more

Thank you so much Daniel! This is super useful.

Thankfully I can still eat protein with this diet (excluding pork,beef or shellfish) so will keep protein most of the days for my one solid meal.

I will keep an eye on my digestion as well for sure and will probably try and go do some infrared sauna too once a week. (If it was summer I… Read more

Thank you Daniel!

Hello @Bernadette_Abraham and @Daniel ,

My husband was diagnosed with Barrett’s esophagus. Generally I believe he was told that this valve or sphincter is not closing properly and so he has acid reflux and GERD. No ulcers, thankfully. He is now taking medicine but long term he wants to change his diet to manage things better without a lot… Read more

Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  and @Daniel !

I’m starting my January clean detox (just like last year based on this book as it worked very well). As part of the diet I’ll be having lots of smoothies including chlorophyll.
Any consideration you would highlight?
Any brands you would suggest? I found this brand on Amazon , is with copper.. says… Read more

Thank you!! Appreciate the help! 🥰

@Bahareh who portal are you using? I’ll try perhaps but want to choose a replicable company. Thank you ☺️

Dear @Bernadette_Abraham

I’m looking for a clean make up brand here in Dubai but no luck 😒. I have been trying to order in from Amazon some known clean US brands but they never arrive.. second time I ordered something and is just not delivered.
Any store or brand you can advise or another way to order in?

Thank you so much!

@Bernadette_Abraham , hello

Would you know where I could run a test here in Dubai? I would love to do it out of interest and not sure if I could fit something like this under my annual health check up but I would like to investigate.

Thank you

Thank you very much Daniel! Is super interesting…

Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  and @Daniel  ,

I recently heard about a company/ concept of the importance of our Omega 6:3 ratio and I wanted to get your opinion. Do you think is worth testing it?

This company offers to run a fatty acid profile… I got interested but I also don’t want to fall for marketing campaigns.

Thank you
Szilvia

Thank you, I realized I forgot to reply.

The second opinion was great to talk about my questions (that raised after leaving the initial clinic).

Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  and @Daniel ,

I’m on natural progesterone (100mg from compounding pharmacy) for 3 months – to reverse a condition of some thickening of myohyperplasia which I was told is also leading to heavy bleeding.

I missed a day by accident and the next day I started spotting and I then continued to take it but it seems now… Read more

Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  and @Daniel  ,

My 4 year old daughter has mumps and I was wondering if you have any suggestions on special diet or some home remedies.

Thank you

Hi @Bernadette_Abraham  ,

I was wondering which form of coconut is the best to use for cooking. Coconut milk or powder?

I’ve been trying to make my own coconut milk from shredded coconut but the milk I make always spoils the next day.. also it comes in plastic boxes which I really don’t like.
Any suggestions on how to make store to… Read more

Hi,

I was just given a positive test for dientamoeba fragilis. The doctor even seeing me again just sent a prescription of metronitazol (antibiotics) without any further consultation.
I started reading about this parasite and I think there may be some other more natural not so gut damaging ways to get rid of them.

Would you have… Read more

Hello, I wanted to ask the general opinion about fruit and veg washes. (I guess there are a couple of natural brands in Spinneys) Do they really make a difference? Good to use them? Any considerations?

Thank you

Hello, any remedies, diet suggestion or suggestions on how to lower bloating in lower intestines?

I just came back from an ultrasound and was told that I’m quite bloated after full night and morning fasting when my lower intestines should be empty and resting. Wondering if I can do something to improve this – as I assume this could be an… Read more
