During hospital, diarrhea became frequent and urgent. Same at home. Desperate, I tried adding sauerkraut and yogurt - slowly improved stools. Still experiencing bloating/abdomen discomfort, some other ANS related symptoms. CPPS symptoms flared as well, urinary urgency/frequency. So lost.

Ferritin 893, Insulin 70.2! Doctors unhelpful so far. My research indicates acute autonomic dysregulation, precipitated by my already longstanding inflammation/metabolic issues and environmental stress + chemicals? Severe increase in fatigue, whole body muscle aches. I'm feeling hopeless.

Lower GI issues persisted. Had a chemical exposure incident 2+ weeks ago (chlorine/bleach involved) which caused a severe reaction in ~45min. Prolonged tachycardia, hospitalized. All cardiac & pulmonary tests clear. Low Mg (1.4), IVs of Mg sulfate, lactated ringers, saline. Discharged home.

Tried benfotiamine - made gut worse? Weight also stagnant & desperately need to lose, I guess it's just overall metabolic/inflammatory/gut related but I don't have the funds to attempt further exploration right now. Doc doesn't look for root cause or listen well, but that's all I've got right now.

I'm not sure. Carnivore was supposed to help resolve, but not for me? Or is the issue that I cannot afford fresh beef & eggs & this is somehow also linked to histamine issue? Let alone the methylation issues with chronic folate deficiency & high homocysteine. Metabolic system out of whack too. Lost.

Started with folinic acid & sardines (B12). Added B2, all good. Switched to methyl B12 instead of sardines - low dose (I was reacting with higher dose). Added creatine several days, fine. Added TMG & the wheels fell off it seems. Quit all supplements for a week, started back 2 days ago & monitoring.

Hope it helps! Not gonna lie, I'm getting desperate/tempted to try it myself. Do you think BiomeSight is the best value option for a personal gut health test? I am considering between it or Tiny Health's kit.

I actually need to avoid dairy completely for a time but given the antibiotic reaction, I gave in hoping the kefir or Greek yogurt would help.

Oh well, hopefully things can get to some normalcy soon - and I can better adhere to elimination diet (beef, salt, water) going forward.

Likely long standing critical folate deficiency, need to get homocysteine tested again. MTHFR mutation? B12 is low-normal.

Uric acid high - why? Is carnivore just not for me? I was having similar issues on keto too. I'm broken, metabolic dysfunction.

Turns out it was a partial tear where the Achilles attaches, or so the MRI report says. Got to revisit the doc for follow-up and prognosis. Hopefully since it's not a full tear the recovery time won't be so extended.

First foot pain/inflammation in 16 years that I actually know what it is, wow!
