My doctor (who specializes in MTHFR, COMT etc) had me take an Organic Acids Test.
I have been trying for years to cure/improve my lifelong OCD, Anxiety and Depression. I have tried everything including medications and supplements and therapy.
The test came back - I am attaching.It showed high arabinose, markers for hippuric and 2-hydroxyphenyllacetic among other stuff
He wants me to address my gut. I am 35 years old. I have not taken a lot of antibiotics. I have asked him questions but haven't gotten responses to some of them. He wants me to follow a SIBO diet and take supplements.
My questions:
Does you stomach get upset while you are doing a "gut cleanup?"
Do you get upset stomach etc? Does the "die off" cause symptoms?
I asked him how long I'd have to be on it. He said that some people are on it for months but he doesn't know. I know that there are 10 day gut repairs. When do you know that you are "done?"
Do you have to adhere to an extreme SIBO diet when you are done? Can you just be sensible? Will the bad stuff come back?
I lived an unhealthy lifestyle for most of my life prior to this. As long as I am sensible is this a one time thing?
The strange thing about the test is that my Dopamine was high and other catecholamines were low. I did testing last year and Dopamine was fine/low and Adrenalin was high.
Another doctor told me that this test (urine) was useless and that I needed to get a stool test
I just don't want to be spending 500 bucks a month on vitamins. These DRs get ridiculous.
I am just looking for an idea of what to expect.
