Regarding your brother’s recent labs. I read through our last threads and this was the summarized list of additional tests to consider:

• Genetic PANK2 test: did you decide to pursue this? Or holding off?
• Blood sugar & electrolytes: unfortunately, they didn’t measure fasting insulin. His fasting glucose at 97mg/dL (although within normal…

Hey @Annie
Like Bernadette mentioned: in some cases, some people don’t respond well to a certain supplement. We are all unique and sometimes what works for many people simply causes problems in another.

That being said…

Not all interactions between medications and supplements are well described. If he is taking this supplement together with…

Hi @Annie – we’re all going through the teething stage of getting used to this new platform together. 🙂 I also missed your question notification so thank you for your patience. I will reply tomorrow as I’d like to review our previous threads to see where we left off…

Hi Annie – sorry to hear that. It’s unfortunately a common side effect of Xylitol in larger quantities, as it is not easily absorbed by the body and can draw water into the intestines.

Making sure he stays well hydrated is key. Coconut water and electrolytes can help stay hydrated.

– How fast after taking his supplement he experiences the discomfort

Hi Bahareh,

Unfortunately, I do not know of any holistic ophthalmologists in Dubai. I’ve been taking my kids to see Dr. Fadi Saad at the American Hospital: https://www.ahdubai.com/doctors-profile/fady-saad

He’s been quite thorough.

Hi Nadine – can you please email support@bbettermembership.com and ask them to give you access to purchase the tests you need. Please let them know the exact test you’d like to pursue. I would suggest the OAT test, MycoTox test (for mold exposure) and Doctor’s Data Hair Elements (hair sample to show longer term circulation) since you’ve…

Very good! Wish they’d run a full thyroid panel at once but that’s the way they do things unfortunately when it comes to insurance approvals. But glad you found a cooperative doctor and they’re taking the cautious approach with CK enzymes. I agree.

Please keep us posted with neuro appt. Good luck!

@Kkol no, that panel won’t really add much, except to differentiate between heart muscle and skeletal muscle involvement, and if budget is a concern, I’d prefer you spend your money on tests that will help provide information that can help you take the right preventative and corrective action.

I still believe efforts are better spent…
