@Bernadette Abraham hello. In June 2023, H. Pylori was below detectable limit. Prior to testing in June 2023, I took one capsule of mastic gum which was 500mg only in the morning, zinc l caronsine, vitamin c and a and is it Brocolli sprouts capsule (not all the time as my stomach couldn’t cope with it).

I continued taking mastic gum 500mg only in the morning and stopped Brocolli sprouts after testing negative. However, H. Pylori returned in January 2024 and now still there even in June even though number is reduced.

Prior to testing in June, I was taking mastic gum, the same amount, zinc l. Caronsine, the Lactobacillus and Bifidium probiotic blends and megaspore, vitamin c.

Unfortunately, the sugar craving is still there which happens at night. Which markers show I am having gluten. Is the sugar causing the Zonnulin and calprotectin. By the evening, I have no energy and feel faint.

I am finding when I have my jasmine rice, chicken (be it boneless chicken pieces or drumstick), vegetables such as carrots, pak choi, courgettes, butternut squash). It’s too heavy and painful on the stomach. I am still hungry and sugar craving kicks in straight after at night. The biscuits, ice cream which cools my stomach as it is hot inside is soothing or anything else satisfies my hunger that night, but then then the following day I am bloated, and abdominal area is tight and painful alot more than if I don’t have any sugar for about a week. Lack of energy and hunger and maybe gut dysbiosis is causing the sugar craving.

In the afternoon, I have oatmeal, quinoa flakes and millet flakes as porridge. I have one boiled egg and I add one tea spoon of hemp protein and blend the porridge.

Basically I have two meals a day which I can only tolerate. I make up the rest of it by having sugary foods at night. These foods don’t cause pain because they don’t fibre.

Betiane hcl, I’m now on 220mg. I do get heartburn somedays and somedays, I’m OK.

Unfortunately, I still rely on famotidine 20mg at night only. Otherwise, I get severe heartburn and reflux. My throat hurts as well.

Should I stop it, due to the h. Pylori being there. Also, I have oesoohagitis grade a and mild chronic gastirits.

I will hold back on killing thr opportunistic bacteria as my stomach can’t cope with more antimicrobials.

Can I have foods with akermensia instead?

I’ve tried home made sauerkraut but it burns my stomach.

@Bernadette Abraham Thank you.

@Bernadette Abraham Thank you. I will keep you posted. I’ll buy slightly larger size as i guess it won’t cause any harm despite having such a small amount of betaine hcl.

@Bernadette Abraham I’ve DMed my email address.

@Bernadette Abraham B. Please can you send me the last monthly round up email just for me to check I am receiving these emails.

I said yes yesterday, but could be mistaken. I do receive the weekly round up emails.

@Bernadette Abraham hello.

Yes, I do. I may have missed the updated email address notification. I found it just before receiving your response.

She wasn’t given a suppository at all yesterday. I’ve arrived at the hospital and asked the staff nurse. They’ve just inserted it.

Thank you for the remedies to try. I will run it pass the doctors.

More upsetting news B.

Mum’s egfr is now 7 and creatinine is 480.

Is there anything she can try which I can run pass the doctors to increase the egfr and lower creatinine?
