@Bernadette Abraham thanks B.

Regarding the blood sugar markers. This is the response.

Dear Naveed No problem at all I can confirm Dr Lulsegged does them all apart from the Homa-ir I have never known him to do this one in the 5 years I have been working for him but thats not to say he cant. Kind Regards

Sorry, I was meant to say fasting insulin and reverse T3 are irrelevant or that hospitals don’t tend to measure it. This consultant apparently will as he’s a traditional endocrinologist with functional medicine mindset.

@Daniel Schepers hello. I don’t take any thyroid medications.

So, fasting insulin and fT3 are irrelevant?

My appointment is at midday. I will have probably eaten before my appointment or should I fast. I don’t tend to eat until around 1.00pm anyway.

I’m not sure if he’ll carry out a blood withdrawal on the same day.

@Bernadette Abraham Thank you B. I sent him your thyroid markers list.

This was the reply from the secretary

Dr Lulsegged has advised all of the Bloods are covered apart from T3u and free t4 index which are not over and above mandatory from the others.
I will watch the blood sugar video shortly.
Thanks B.

@Daniel Schepers I was on a two hour drive from London to Cambridge which was exhausting for me as I struggle to drive long distance in my current situation. It use to be a breeze in the past. Maybe, this could have caused an even lower T3 reading. I don’t know why the consultant didn’t do the other markers despite requesting them. His clinic letter says to meet an endocrinologist. Yes, there has been more stress both mentally and physically as well.

I wasn’t feeling sick but was tried from the drive due to traffic along the way, worrying about not being late and then finding a place to park. Basically, trivial things. Thank you for the movie recommendation. Daniel, I am beginning to realise how thyroid can be so critical in other areas of my well being.

@Daniel Schepers thank you for bringing this to my attention. I was thinking down the line of maybe the slow gut motility which I know I have where TUDCA may help. There are so many factors with me also which could could be the cause.

I love the tree and shadow analogy :).

I have compiled a spreadsheet with some key markers including cholesterol which the consultant wanted at the iron clinic on Feb 9th.

@Daniel Schepers hello. Please see attached full thyroid panel from 20.2.23

I did request the hospital to include all the thyroid markers which is mentioned in. B’s course. Unfortunately, hospitals don’t cover it.

@Daniel Schepers hello. I will attach full thyroid panel from a year ago which I recall was quite costly.

Could Body Bio TUDCA help with reducing the cholesterol?

I am taking Magnesium Glycinate, but due to being in capsule form I can’t take the daily 4 capsules which pure encapsulations recommend as it’s too much on the stomach. If only I could take it in liquid form.

I have another question regarding zinc l carnosine. Unfortunately, I also can’t tolerate this even with food. I noticed there is a liquid version of zinc by body bio. Could this work as a replacement?

I think my cholesterol was the same from previous blood test, but I will check and let you know.

Sorry for the late response Daniel. I still need to reply to your kind reply.

@Daniel Schepers hi.

H. Pylori

GI MAP labelled 13.3.23, H. Pylori was 3.32e²

In June 26th 2023, I only had the standalone H. Pylori test carried out and it was below detectable level. I couldn’t attach the PDF file for this result yesterday. I’ll try now.

In my GI MAP from yesterday, it came back and the reading was 2.59e2.

Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus spp

I’m not sure what to expect symptoms wise. Is this bacteria contagious? How can I get rid of it? Both have been increasing since the past GI MAPS have been done. How can bring the microbiome balance in Daniel?

Antigliadin IGA

This has increased as well.

Eosinophil Active Protein

This has increased from non detectable to 0.14

Beta Glucurondiase

Refined sugar foods in the evening is the big problem for me. Ok, this is the reason.

Calprotectin

This has increased from 43 to 134. Could this be due to the sugar foods.

Akkermansia Muciniphila

Yes, always been below detectable.

Would it be possible to go through the lab result as a live group chat and record it.
