Hi all,
I will be seeing my doctor soon to interpret these results but I am really interested in your input because I feel like I've learned more from this community than doctors themselves.
Quick summary: I experienced an extremely stressful time in my life a few years ago which happened to follow getting really sick in Nicaragua. My digestive issues started getting worse, which seemed to coincide with my increase in stressful situations, to the point where I now have multiple sensitivities and potentially a mast cell disorder. I'm currently on a diet of meat, certain veggies, and certain fruits. That's the shortest version I've got
Disclaimer: I realize this is A LOT of information and do not expect people to know everything that this information could mean but I appreciate any input. Also, I realize that I should only take the information on this forum as anecdotal but I do sincerely appreciate the information shared on this forum.
Thanks in advance for anyone willing to check this stuff out! I mostly want to make sense of the DHPPA and the BHBA but any further information would be AMAZING!
