I realize this is not relative to the goings-on in the world, but I believe it is a direct result of the stress we have all endured since 2020. This site has been a saving grace for me. I've saved and archived lots of health and wellness posts over the years, which I refer to often. This time, I am asking this community if anyone here has had any experience with Gastritis and Intestinal Metaplasia? I was just diagnosed with both as I have had a lot of silent reflux over the years and it damaged my gut. I do not want to take PPI's. I also tried the baking soda route for pH balance, but I need to watch my salts. My goal is to reverse the damage, if possible, in time for my follow-up endoscopy in a year. I loathe taking medicine, so any advice is appreciated!
Side note: I drink way too much coffee and sparkling water, so will be limiting that going forward. I exercise daily, eat healthy, take Ivermectin once or twice a week for good measure along with a handful of high quality supplements daily.
Thank you for both recommendations! Have you done the first one? I thought I had clogged bile ducts and started taking Tudca, but then the endoscopy revealed it looked like I had an ulcer at one time and was healing. Hence the abnormal cells.
Also, I am all for colon cleanse! Those make you feel light and free.
I also want to clarify that if you do the stone flush, you won't need to do the enemas (at least in close time proximity to the flush; you may want to do enemas in the future to keep from getting too much backed up). All the epsom salt in the stone flush gives you diarrhea, so the flush takes care of the old poop build-up. It's killing two birds with one stone (flush!). ;)
The "first one being the stone flush" (from comment above)? Yes, I have done a stone flush. It wasn't fun, but it wasn't as bad as I expected it to be in terms of discomfort.
Or, if by the "first one" was ileitis, that is treated with an antibiotic.
