What are peoples experience treating H pylori and overall dysbiosis? What did you do and was is successful/did you feel better after treatment?
I haven't treated H. pylori but I am treating severe dysbiosis, confirmed through testing. I have gone from only being able to do about 3 hours a day of physical activity to 6-7 hours a day.
Treatment for me has been very slow because I don't tolerate antimicrobials for treating the gut very well. Having said that, I'm not the same person I was when I started treating dysbiosis.
My life is completely different. I routinely walk to a convenience store, the laundry mat, a farmers market and a grocery store. I don't have a car, so it's incredible to be able to walk to these places to get things done!
I've been treating my dysbiosis for a little over 2 years now and continue to improve. I'm on a low carb diet, focused mainly on eating as little as possible of starchy foods, which are dysbiosis's best friend.
I take herbal antibiotics every day. The equivalent to about 14-15 grams of whole herbs. I also take both probiotics and prebiotics. This protocol has been life changing for me and as I said I'm still improving.
I'm also 60 years old and have taken about 35-40 courses of antibiotics through my life. Which devastated my microbiome. Both of these things (age and antibiotics)make it much more difficult to treat dysbiosis. I have also had CFS for 42 years.
So if I can improve this much after 42 years, just think what you can do! I think you are much younger than me and you haven't had CFS nearly as long. Both of these things work in your favor.
I have learned that taking mitochondrial supps and supps that help to lower/prevent brain inflammation, helps me tolerate my protocol MUCH, MUCH, better and wouldn't be without them.
If you can tolerate the treatment you are on, I strongly encourage you to stick with it, as long as is nessesary and modify as is nessesary, so you can stay with. My bet is, it will be
more than worth it!!
Are you on a low carb diet? I'm convinced that a low carb diet is
absolutely imperative to healing dysbiosis.
