Hi everyone,
30/M
Long story short on few bullet points -
1. Poor diet from the beginning, teen age, most of the adult life of last 15 yrs
2. Tremendous stress for last 3 yrs, psychological emotional
3. Depleted critical nutrition, Vit D, Glutamine, Magnesium, EFA etc
4. Too much Cortisol for too long killed gut flora, damaged gut tight junctions, and low vit D, Glutamine etc couldn't save the gut lining
5. Inflammation inflammation inflammation, suppressed immune, bad bacteria injection/dysbiosis, repetitive infections of all kinds, sinus, throat, gut, skin. adrenal fatigue, leaky gut. irritable bowel, irritable bladder.
6. Homeostasis is lost, it is like a mystery illness that can't even be fully explained, I just don't feel completely balanced and fine. So many things wrong, circling through so many symptoms, they keep changing
7. problem with almost every body part, brain fog, memory problem, unable to feel, lost motivation, psychological social trouble, head aches, sever painful episodes, dry skin, hair loss, dandruff, joint weakness, nerves, muscle catabolism, sexual problems of all kind, no libido, constant fatigue, weird discomfort pain in many parts liver kidney torso, body jolts. Many more.
Been trying to fight back be functional for couple of years, spent a lot of money on so many supplements, some helped and kept me hanging in. Tried probiotics, green juice, vitamins, EFAs, amino acids, and many herbs.
Finally went to a Functional med doc. Right track. He asked me to do NutrEval, gut permeability test, Stool, Adrenal, SIBO test. I got some results. They are showing good info about my problem. But the doc isn't the smartest one, I don't have much faith in him, he is not well informed and doesn't have a clear interpretations of results, and no experienced plan. I can't change my doc, that's the only one available in my city.
To be specific, my results show - obviously leaky gut, and signs of infection (dunno what kind yet), high homocystein inflammation marker, high CRP, neuro inflammation, malabsorption, High cholesterol, nutrition deficiencies even after long history of using supplements, broken carb + energy + fatty acid metabolism, protein metabolism is little shaky, broken urea cycle, possible metal toxins, some imbalance in neurotransmitter metabolites.
With all this, I already have tried herbs for adrenal, supplements to reduce inflammation, neurotransmitter support, balance vitamins, minerals, probiotics, green juicing, some diet restriction. Almost same as many functional med doc advice. But that hasn't made any improvement in my condition.
Has anyone gone through this kind of scene? Has anyone healed similar leaky gut? How? What else I have to do? What is missing here? Trying to get clarity here, I have tried many things but no substantial results, I need higher, in depth prospective so I can follow the treatment plan that will produce results. I can probably share results to compare. Any info / insight is appreciated!
