I've been having issues since the early 2000s but its gotten way worse.
I started with gallbladder irritation under my right ribs, then IBS and had numerous more issues when I moved to the US.
It seemed ok while in the Army but the last few years issues got worse.
Now my gallbladder is severely irritated with stones and the like, I'm extremely bloated with my weight fluxuating.
Basically from my throat with GERD all the way down with what feels like hemeroids.
I turned 43 in late November and i'm male, anyone knowledgeable have some pointers? With all the GI cancers going around i'm quite nervous.
Magnesium helped break up some gallstones, I'll need to find something with probiotics, any suggestions? Have not been tested for candida but definitely one of my suspicions, my gallbladder flares up with eating bread products...
Also they found precancerous lesions in my throat from GERD.
Definitely stop eating bread and starches. I recommend full carnivore. It's quite a big switch, and it may be difficult to change quickly, but it will help tremendously. Don't forget to hydrate as you switch.
Second this. 13 months for me. Don’t even fart anymore. Body recomposition is another plus. I got abs. People are healing type 2 diabetes, all kinds of gut issues headaches and even depression(see Jordon and Michaela Peterson)

Hmmm don't mind if I do!
My gut got ruined once by antibiotics and kefir got it working again really quickly. All it takes is getting some kefir grains (from a friend or on-line) and milk, and it is the best probiotic I know of. You can also enable your thyroid gland to produce high quality T4 and T3 by supplementing with iodine and selenium. The thyroid hormones are made from iodine, selenium is used by the thyroid to regulate the production. Without supplementation of these things it is likely that the iodine receptors in your thyroid can't scavenge enough iodine so they grab onto anything close and fill up with other members of the halide family like flouride, bromide, etc. which directly reduces production and high quality T4 and T3 output. These hormones are required for the body to maintain homeostasis and healthy cells. This may resolve several of the listed issues.
editing to add a thought. You can get your iodine eating beefsteaks, and your selenium from brazil nuts if that is preferred to using supplements..
My thyroid is indeed not functioning properly, I take synthroid (I know, bad and ruined my teeth). I have possibly been exposed to radioactive particles in the service. I really need to find a good iodine supplement but thank you so much for the lead!
ETA: Also took antibiotics for my teeth infections.
Mary Ruth's Organic is what I take. It has helped with a lot of issues and I take 1-2 drops a day. A bottle lasted me almost a year.
Where do you live? Find a good alternative, holistic doctor that does chelation. That will take care of the heavy metals you probably picked up in the military the same as I did. Also get some UV blood treatments with ozone. Will help with a bunch of things! (Got rid of my migraines for one.)
I live in Oklahoma.
Lugol’s iodine is what I use. I’m hypothyroid too. I suspect fluoride in my drinking water was what did it. Now on good well water
More and more research indicates that cancer is actually parasites. After you do your stone flush to conquer your GERD, try an anti parasitical drug, Remember that parasites lay eggs, and while the initial round may kill the living parasites, you'll have to do several rounds to make sure you get the hatchlings. There could be a connection with having a parasitical infection and making too much bilirubin.
Fenben. Ivermectin.
Hey brother, you can try kombucha and even make your own for very cheap. Buy some at the store and make sure it's real and use a cup of it for starters. Find a nice big jar - I use a big pickle jar (the gallon one).
Here's how I do it because you don't want the heat to kill the bacteria:
Brew 6 bags of black tea in a quart mason jar
1 cup of sugar or honey with hot water in another quart mason jar
Dump both into a stock pot and fill with filtered water up to 4 quarts.
Pour all into jar and let sit until around 89-84 degrees (or cooler) add in 1 cup of starter from the store
Cover with coffee filter and secure and leave until SCOBI is ~ 1/2inches thick (approx 4wks).
Now do the same thing again but this time for the starter use what you just made and transfer the SCOBI into the new jar or dump what you made out and use the same jar. Then wait around 2-3 weeks and bottle and drink.
Make sure not to use any wooden utensils when stirring or pulling out the SCOBI as it can cause contamination.
