I know thebigpeat said she saw an improvement in her hormones after doing the raw garlic protocol so I'd say it's worth a shot. From what I remember, her appendix ruptured and she had to go the hospital, but didn't want to have it removed so the doctors had a meeting and finally gave in to just giving her high doses of antibiotics. Sorry BP if I got your story wrong. But yeah, I don't blame you for having your appendix removed. That's scary!Lindsay said:Is the bigpeatowski living currently with a ruptured appendix? That is brave, let me tell you. My doctor offered me that route, but I was so scared..... there are some things in life I just don't want to deal with and that's likely one of them. But they said my appendix was real bad, so I'm kind of glad to be rid of it - it was such a nuisance anyhow.
Hello Ladies! Yes, my appendix had already ruptured by the time I went to the hospital. According to the scan there was nothing left except a massive debris field (everywhere the toxins spilled became inflamed). The doctors told me that they would need to remove several feet of my intestines in order to clean up all the inflammation. Therefore I declined as they could not guarantee the outcome or how much of my guts they were going to remove. I stayed in the hospital for a few days on IV antibiotics and went home with two more antibiotics that I took for several weeks.
I felt great while on the antibiotics, but it was a while after I finished the course when all hell broke loose (heading into fall and severely hypothyroid as well). I had a major bout of gastroenteritis followed by serious indigestion, intermittent constipation/diarrhea and ultimately chronic diarrhea. Four years of seeing many doctors and several specialists got me absolutely nowhere.
Looking back, I think I must have had a chronic C.diff infection and SIBO. Taking raw garlic and more thyroid finally helped me to overcome the gut issues. My opinion, solely based on my bizarre experience, is that gut dysbiosis causes the intestines to become inflamed. Inflamed guts release estrogen, serotonin and histamine which leads to food intolerance AND can also lead to weight gain. Also, my previous years of low-carbing DEFINITELY made me insulin resistant, wrecked my metabolism and effed up my hormones. I had a high-fat diet back then cuz you gotta get your calories from somewhere. I feel that eating a lot of fat majorly contributed to endotoxin and mood issues etc.....just my two cents :2cents
lindsay said:Thanks for sharing bigpeatowski!! I had my appendix removed - sadly, when I had to make the decision, I had had a 103 F fever for 3 days and was in no place to make big decisions. But, at least I can never get appendicitis again, I just have thousands of insurance deductible to pay off (which would have been more if I had stayed in the hospital more than a day). My experience was similar - I felt fricken fantastic on the antibiotics, but it was short lived. I started to develop my normal digestive problems a month or so after taking them and now I am trying to figure the best route to clean the gut - the carrot doesn't do much for me. I'm looking into pickled garlic - it supposedly has the same benefits as raw garlic, but it tastes much milder. I think, in general, eating lots of fermented foods to give good bacteria to the gut is very helpful. If garlic & fermented foods don't work, I will have to keep up my thyroid dose. I just went from 1/2 a cynoplus pill to 3/4 and it definitely makes a difference, but my experience is that this is always short lived and the body adapts to the new dose. However, I really need to keep the digestive tract happy and estrogen away!!
P.S. How was Mexico???

Jennifer said:Okay, I just saw this. I missed the part about the doctors wanting to remove several feet of your intestines, BP. That's crazy! Doctors seriously don't have much faith in the body's own ability to heal.

Thank you. How much meat do you consume a day? and what kind of meats do you use?
Anywhere from 100-120 grams of protein worth of very lean ground beef.
tca300 said:Yup im a living science experiment. I've gone from potatoes, to meat, fruit etc... I've done most every diet I can think of to see what I personally feel best on. I eat totally different now than when I commented on those posts. Sorry for the confusion.
