 thank you kindly for your response.
My top (/worst) symptom is vomiting severity/frequency would be 10 being honest as it’s daily, often more than once a day. The nausea/bloating are not as debilitating. My top priority is resolving the vomiting. 

Thank you I saw the other post on gastroparesis.

Many thanks in advance for your advice/ support.

1. Is PCOS still present? Are you still menstruating? 

PCOS has not been tested for a while, however Endo did prescribe metformin because he said being overweight i’m by default insulin resistant – I however am not taking metformin at the moment (i used to but stoped an year ago).

No, no periods naturally, only with HRT I’d get my periods.

2. Has anyone ever checked your fasting glucose, HbA1C and fasting insulin levels?

HbA1C is normal – report attached. Fasting test no, but i can run it tomorrow morning at home.

3. Do you have any gut related symptoms like bloating, gas, constipation, IBS, etc? 

I do feel all the symptoms mentioned above – its very radical – some days more intense than others.

4. Do you have hormone test results you can attach/share? Was sex hormone binding globulin ever measured?

I have attached my latest detailed report, i’m not sure about the tests you mentioned. I’m meeting my endo tomorrow at 10.30 am should I mention these tests?

5. Briefly describe your diet. Do you consume enough protein?

Protein in my diet may not be enough – i’m primarily vegetarian, I can have chicken and fish (i get aversions every now and then) and therefore i’m not able to consume enough protein consistently. I love eggs but in Dubai it gives my stomach burning (in india however i can have eggs without an issue – strange but true, dont know why though)

6. Rate your overall stress level
I want to say high – i’m into my own business and personally as well – more than anything my increasing weight is causing most stress.

7. What are your top 5 symptom complaints currently?

Weight-gain, headache, overall feeling unwell, lethargic, bloating

Currently on following meds –

Euthyrox – 75iu

Progyluton -last tab taken on 25th oct (got scanty period)

Then started with Oophorium30 (homeopathic estrogen) taking this 2 times a day.

Sideral Forte (been but careless with this one) please i’m thallesimea minor as well)

Please find reports attached.

i left a long reply it isint showing tho, let me try once again.

[unknown]

I was initially put on HRT for irregular periods because of PCOS however later on I was diagnosed with very low AMH. And I had all the menopausal symptoms. I was prescribed oral – Progyluton and then switched to Yaz. I think it was prescribed as hormone replacement as my body wasn’t producing these? And that was still at very young age?

[unknown]

Hello, for 3 days i took
D-mannose 2 capsules, 2 x daily
Uva Ursi 4 capsules, 3 x daily
My only symptom is not being able to hold my pee, nothing else
 

[unknown]

Hello Bernadette,
I have been on the dosage for 3 days but I still feel my UTIs
Any recommendations? 

[unknown]

thank you B. And what does low homocystein indicates?

[unknown]

I’m not sure why I thought you were based in the US! So happy with all the information I’ve learned from your platform so far! Thank you

[unknown]

Yes I will definitely have my thyroid and blood sugar test. I will get back to you later about the GI testing ok. 
Thanks again for all your effort and great info! 

[unknown]

Okay….let me quickly answer your questions:
1. Has your VitB & Zinc ever been tested?
Yes a while back but I probably need to have it tested again. I can’t even remember what the results was because it was a few years back.

2. Do you eat animal proteins?
Yes I do! Not a vegetarian or vegan at all. I follow a low carb whole-foods only approach and stay far away from anything processed! I would control my portions everyday to about 100g per day. Weekends I will have about 4 eggs. Im also a fan of intermittent fasting from time to time (7pm – 1:00 or 2:00).

3. Alcohol use:
VERY limited …. Only on rare occasions. (I prefer to EAT my calories not drinking them !)

4. Giardia (Parasitic) Infections?
I was tested by my South African friend Ilsé Onderweeg who also practice Functional Medicine ( you might know her) and we found that I had parasites. She had me drink some stuff to kill the parasites but to be honest I never followed up again. It’s very possible that I still have them !

5. Comprehensive stool test?
Ive done a stool test recently for the gastroenterologist, and I forgot what it was for ‍♀️. I don’t think it was actually a COMPREHENSIVE GI-Map! I can definitely request that as well.

Sex Hormones tested?
…. Not at all…. It’s probably all powder by now ! I could most certainly ask for that test as well.

I can’t THANK YOU enough for giving me these guidelines. At least I would know what to test for. I’m not going to lie, I’ve been so overwhelmed and confused about what’s going on with me and although I’m not SUFFERING, I am eager to find the real problem of all this.

My other issue is high blood cholesterol, but with very low triglycerides. I’ve been fighting a lost battle for them to NOT put me on Lipitor Statins, but they reckon my high Cholesterol is hereditary.

Thanks again Bernadette. I’m going to study the videos now

[unknown]

Oh WOW….. thank you for all this information! I will have to read it a FEW times to comprehend everything ‍♀️! Watching the videos first off course!
I will try to answer all your questions. (BTW, Ive never tested for thyroid, sugar or even sex hormones! ) I’m compiling my list as I’m reading and I guess I’ve got some bloodwork to be done!)

Hi Daniel,

Many thanks for your detailed and thorough response. I guess the biggest thing I’m hoping to address/ reduce is the daily vomiting. That’s my main concern and barrier to optimum health I feel.
The surgery I had to address the gastroparesis was Per-Oral Pyloromyotomy. It’s the only surgery I’ve had.

Regarding meds, I’ve tried Metoclopramide, domperidone, Zofran. Prochlorperazine.

Regarding, test blood tests can I send you the ones I had done earlier this month following a viral stomach infection?

Thanks in advance for reading; I’ve included detailed feedback from 2 sessions with a Kinesiologist.
Prior to the surgery in 2021, I attended a Kinesiologist in 2019 who stated I had leaky gut and post virus.

I’ve always had success with alternative medicine adopting a holistic approach, below is her feedback;

So what came up were mainly the muscles relating to your digestive system.  (Stomach, spleen, liver, small and large intestine).  You also showed to “Leaky Gut” where the lining of your intestines is compromised and is allowing particles through to the blood stream that aren’t fully digested.  This will be helped with the L-Glutamine.

You also have a number of digestive toxins:
Candida – which will be helped with the change in diet, and the PB Assist (probiotic) phase of the cleanse.
Fungus
Bacteria (the bad kind)
Parasites – 4 types
Post Virus (where a virus goes “dormant” and can lead to anxiety/digestive issues etc).
These will all be helped with the GX Assist (Cleanse).

We found a number of foods that you are intolerant to at the moment.  Many of these will be OK once your gut is healed.  We will check them on your next visit.
Foods to Avoid:
ASPARTAME (artificial sweetener).  This was the one that weakened your arm muscle at the beginning of the session.  So, no Diet Coke, or diet anything!!
MSG – probably why you reacted so badly to the Thai and Chinese when you came home.
Wheat.  Milk (though some cheese is OK especially sheeps or goats)
Beef, Beans, Soy
Pineapple, Banana, Grapes, Nectarines, peaches (due to the Candida), Apples
Broccoli, Cabbage, Green Pepper (Red peppers are OK), Cucumber
Chocolate (sorry!!)

Also, be careful of spelt.  All other grains (Oats, rye etc) were fine.  As were chicken, fish, eggs, mango, grapefruit, all berries.

As I said to you the Cleanse is done in 3 phases:  Activate, Remove and Restore.   Activate is where you get the required vitamins and minerals to support the cleanse.  The AlphaCRS also has some cleansing ingredients, so we start slowly!  It can also increase energy, so in phases 2 and 3 I advise taking 2 in the morning and 1 in the evening. 

So your “prescription” is:
General Advice: 
Drink LOADS of water to help eliminate the toxins. 
• Eat slowly to allow digestive and pancreatic juices to be released to digest food
• Massage under your ribs to stimulate your Small Intestine and help digestion
• Massage UP the outside of your legs from the knee to the thigh to help with constipation (stimulates the Large Intestine), and where your middle finger touches the outside of your thigh is a great spot to massage for headaches.

Until your kit arrives:
Glutamine x 4 per day.  Break them up into 2 doses – or 3 if you prefer – with food.  This will start healing your leaky gut.

When the kit arrives:

Days 1 to 5  (Activate Phase part 1)
Morning:  2 x Glutamine.  1 x Microplex, 1 x xeOmega, 1 x Alpha CRS
Evening:  2 x Glutamine.  1 x Microplex, 1 x xeOmega, 1 x Alpha CRS
Days 6 to 10 (Activate Phase part 2)
Morning:  1 x Glutamine, 2 x Microplex, 1 xeOmega, 2 x Alpha CRS
Evening:  1 x Glutamine, 2 x Microplex, 1 xeOmega, 2 x Alpha CRS

Days 11-20 (Remove Phase) (this is where the cleanse proper starts and you deal with the toxins)
Morning:  1 x Glutamine, 1 x Microplex, 1 xeOmega, 2 x Alpha CRS, 2 x GX Assist
Evening:  1 x Glutamine, 2 x Microplex, 2 xeOmega, 1 x Alpha CRS, 2 x GX Assist

Days 21-30 (Reset Phase) (this is where you repopulate your gut with beneficial bacteria)
Morning:  1 x Glutamine, 1 x Microplex, 1 xeOmega, 2 x Alpha CRS, 1 x PB Assist
Evening:  1 x Glutamine, 2 x Microplex, 2 xeOmega, 1 x Alpha CRS, 2 x PB Assist

When this is finished continue with the Glutamine at 4 per day until the tub is finished, and with the Microplex (3 per day), xeOmega (1 per day) and Alpha CRS (3 per day).  If you have any PB Assist left it’s no harm to take 1 per day too. 

You may feel a bit “blah” about 7 days into the Cleanse/Remove stage.  This is where the “nasties” die off and emit toxins of their own.  It shouldn’t be severe enough to send you to bed and will only last a day or two. 

NB if you have any other symptoms AT ALL, or are having any difficulties at any stage please contact me.  We can adjust the protocol if necessary.

This was the 5 week follow up:
Hi Laura

It was lovely to see you again the other day and I’m pleased to report that, despite you vomiting up some of the tablets, there has been a good improvement in your digestive toxins.  The Candida, Bacteria, Fungus and 2 of the parasites have all gone.  You are left with:
• Leaky Gut – this will be helped by AlphaCRS from doTERRA
• Post Virus – this will be helped by Microplex (the multivitamin) from doTERRA
• 1 remaining parasite – again the AlphaCRS helps this along with 1 drop of Oregano oil – DILUTED – on the lower abdomen.
•

Foodwise, also things have improved.  The ones you need to avoid now are:
Soy, Beans (including Kidney Beans), Beef and broccoli.  Aspartame and MSG are still out too.

But you can reintroduce: Wheat (in moderation), bananas, apples, peaches, nectarines, pineapple, grapes.  Cows milk, cabbage, green peppers, cucumber and chocolate (dark – 70% plus) are also OK.
Sweeteners – the best ones are Stevia and Xylitol. 

The Essential Oils we tested included:
Balance – apply a drop to your Throat and to your abdomen, 2 inches up from your navel in a “swipe” to balance your Adrenals to your Thyroid.  For stress, a drop in the palm of your hands, and inhale deeply 3 or 4 times. Apply the residue to the back of your neck and over your chest.  It’s also a great one to put on the soles of your feet and over your Solar Plexus for stress. 
To help your head stop churning, especially when trying to sleep, put some on your chest and the
And, as it contains Frankincense, its good to use when flying to help your body deal with radiation from x-ray in the airport etc.
OnGuard the immune blend, will help not only your immune system but also your energy so you don’t take on other peoples “stuff”.  Dilute and apply to your Solar Plexus as this is where you seem to be taking in negative energy. 
ZenGest (or DigestZen in some places).   Put a drop around your navel for bloating or discomfort after eating.  Put a drop on the tender areas on the lower left or right hand side of your abdomen when uncomfortable –this will help to reduce digestive toxins and support your large intestine. 

As regards ordering more products, unfortunately it’s not as straightforward as I thought!  UAEi is not an “open market” at the moment, though they are working on it (it’s all to do with local laws etc).  Currently your order would have to be sent to either your mum and she send it on, or to an address in the USA where you would have to ring them to get them to send it on.  I’m going to send a couple of emails to see which is the best/easiest/cheapest way to do this and I’ll let you know when I find out. 

Enjoy the rest of your trip, and the wedding, and safe travels back to UAE.  Good luck with finding your accommodation too.  Hopefully you’ll manage to get some rest when you get back

Take care, and email me if you have any questions when you get back.

Regarding hypothyrodism, I had testing done some time ago, nothing showed butI definitely quite sensitive to cold (always have been but perhaps less tolerant now)  thinning of the inner and outer parts of the eyebrows and regular constipation.
