Does anyone have a solution for this? My gut is constantly leaking endotoxin and I don't know how to fix this. It's pretty much destroyed my health.
This started right after I took bacteriophages in October of 2019. I had a stool test done and it looks fine for the most part. The only "bad" bacteria was detected in a throat swab I had done. It's enterobacter, which I'm currently treating with Bactrim. It's not helping my lps symptoms at all, so I don't think it's my main issue really.
I had a cyrex labs lps blood test done and it did show elevated endotoxin. Also, any time I'm active at all, even grocery shopping, I turn pale/yellowish, and look sickly, which I know is caused by endotoxins leaking into my blood stream.
So far I've tried xifaxan and other antibiotics to lower bacterial load which helps for a while sometimes, but then I'm back in the same inflamed boat. I've tried colostrum, gelatin, bone broth, suppressing my tsh to near zero, progesterone, niacinamide, multiple carrot salads per day, probiotics, aspirin, low iron(I didn't eat red meat for a year), sunbathing everyday for a whole summer, red light therapy, and nothing helps enough to end this nightmare. These things are keeping me from spiraling into severe health problems but they aren't fixing the root of it all.
Some things that have helped mildly are xifaxan, cyproheptadine, vitamin A(I seem to have a serious deficiency or something), and now vitamin E succinate(I just started this and it calms me so much)
My main symptoms are: purple/red extremities from poor circulation(like people with pots), high blood pressure and heart rate, chest and vein/vascular pain, poor muscle tone, low energy, depression, low body temp, low potassium (I'm guessing from elevated renin due to endotoxin poisoning), just overall feeling sick and fatigued, red angiomas appearing all over my skin, high prolactin and serotonin.
I had none of those symptoms until the phage induced nightmare.
My diet is great.......cottage cheese(no gums), occasionally boiled spinach, boiled mushrooms, carrot salad, gelatin, oxtail bone broth, eggs, oj, coconut water, chocolate, etc.
So I guess with all that said, is there something I'm missing here? Do bacteriophages cause leaky gut permanently? I have zero ecoli in my intestines thanks to the phages....could that cause leaky gut? Do bacteriophages stay in the intestine forever? How do I fix this?
