Hi again Bernadette
I was going through the iron deficiency videos and the possibility of having mold mycotoxins stood out. How do I get that checked if it is possibly causing my low ferritin? I’ll also be getting tested for h.pylori.

After hearing your responses I’m very inclined to join as a member now. But please do tell that all this is going to be a self paced program where I go through all the information and if needed I can ask for help here? Regarding supplements and dosages as well?
Coming back, to answer your question, I honestly don’t remember being sick around the time of the blood draw because it’s been so long.
My oral health is fine, though I do feel I might be having a cavity which I need to get checked. No fillings or root canals done ever.

P.s I took your gut health quiz and this is what it came up with

Thank you for replying back so quickly Bernadette. You’re pointing things out that my practitioner didn’t even mention worth checking and I’m impressed 😁 <div>So I dug out another CBC report from 2021 (around the same time I was diagnosed with hashimotos) and it does show a decreasing level of WBCs compared to 2019. Attaching it below.</div>
<div>As for low ferritin, I do take animal protein with every meal, that’s thrice daily, so it being low is a surprise. My periods aren’t heavy usually, but maybe once in a few months. </div><div>Never got copper checked.</div><div>I’m supplementing with a B complex, so it being low is also confusing.</div><div>Couldn’t access the videos because it said I don’t have enough privileges.</div><div>

Yes I’ve got a full thyroid panel (done in August), ferritin and b12 (done last week) CBC (done around in February) attaching the results.<div>
No, I’ve never got checked for either ebv, h. Pylori or any other stomach parasites.
Haven’t got selenium or zinc checked ever (but supplementing with 200 micrograms selenium and 50mg zinc every alternate day)
I have switched to non iodised salt around 4 years ago, and no other sources of iodine intake that I can recall. Occasionally I do consume sushi but that’s like maybe once in 5-6 months.
Generally overall I feel fine, I have been loosing hair way too much (that’s what got me suspicious and I discovered my hashimotos)
Sleep is fine, weight is fine (I’m 5’5″ and weigh 57-56kg).
Periods are regular, 28 day cycle. Though once a year I noticed it tends to extend to 30ish days.
One thing I’ve noticed is that I burp a lot, during eating, after and in between meals, doesn’t matter what I eat it always happens. Sometimes even after a plain glass of water. I do take ACV shots before meals.
Also I’ve noticed bloating if I eat sugar/dairy (even though I have a dessert maybe once in 2-3 months)

There is visible water damage in one of my bathrooms. The paint is bubbling and often if it rains heavily the wall would be noticeably wet. While I don’t see any physical signs of mold (the black stuff) or smell anything, there is a false ceiling in the bathroom which may be harbouring mold underneath. Though I keep the window open for better air circulation I don’t think it’s helping much with the dampness.
Also I was watching the mold video and you mentioned allergies as a possible sign of mold. My 15 year old has allergic rhinitis which may or may not be connected. The city we live in is notorious for pollen and pollen allergies ( many people here get them) But I don’t think leaving the environment makes him feel any different. But he did mention brain fog once, so I’m on all alert.
P.s I scored yellow in the 1st quiz but in Dr Jill’s quiz I scored a zero (not mild related illness)
But I saw many symptoms related to my teen in her quiz.

What kind of physical symptoms should we be looking for?
