Can you talk a bit more about this? I did a little googling and found a reusable machine – is that it? The device that says whether you have low, high or peak fertility? If yes, would you avoid sex on high and peak days?

Have you considered that you may have poor methylation (detoxification) in the liver? This will affect the immune system causing toxicity. Maybe some of the things your eating and drinking are inflammatory to your gut? GMO’s and gluten?

Have you ever been tested for poor methylation (detoxification)? Could be that you don’t detoxify well through the liver. Just a thought!

You more than likely have a small intestinal bacterial overgrowth plus a candida overgrowth. You also may have a leaky gut…which can lead to autoimmune disease.
Alcohol causes leaky gut when you drink more than the normal amount for a woman or man.
Get to a functional medicine md for help with this. Getting a stool test to confirm the bacterial gut imbalances will be beneficial. When your gut is upset it will affect your moods. Going Paleo and getting a more healthy nutrient dense diet will help you to eliminate toxins. Alcohol depletes glutathione levels so you need to build up your glutathione stores. Get some multivitamins and mineral supplements and take them daily. Make sure there’s methyltetrahydrofolate and methylcobalamin in them. Drinking alcohol depletes all vitamins and minerals so that the body can’t detoxify itself. It all nutrient dense organically locally raised produce and meats. I drank alcohol due to having anxiety and depression and the professionals long ago just did talk therapy but didn’t address the underlying cause….gluten sensitivities and genetic polymorphisms in my liver (missing the glutathione gene and I don’t detox well through the liver). I am suffering quite a bit. Not sure if I will make it…thanks to western medicine and not finding the answers to my chronic health issues over time.

Shelley,
Where did you get the mold test done? I have had mold sensitivity tests done, and my immune system reacts to the toxic molds, like you have mentioned. You may also not be able to eliminate mold from your system as I am.. Ritchie Shoemaker has a protocol.
Thank you for any help.

Your GI doctor won’t have the answer and will throw up their arms. Some of them know about Leaky gut…but not all of them. They know how to diagnose a bacterial overgrowth with a breath hydrogen test. But it comes to diagnosing Candida overgrowth, non celiac gluten sensitivities, methylation genetic issues and nutritional deficiencies, blastocystis hominis, and auto immune disease created by a leaky gut, you won’t find any answers.

I too used to suffer with anxiety and panic attacks. Hind sight is 20/20, but now I know that it was a combination of stress, poor diet, having a parasite in the colon (blastocystis hominis), poor gut micro biome (due to taking antibiotics and eating foods treated with glyphostates and antibiotics), plus I had poor detoxification pathways in my liver (gene snp’s and polymorphisms). I am missing one gene from my parent for the glutathione gene…plus many more that I have that are/were affected by a poor diet. Plus, I had non celiac gluten sensitivities as well. The regular western medicine doctor’s would never understand why the anxiety and panic attacks and would just suggest a SSRI but I couldn’t tolerate them due to the nutritional deficiencies that I had.
Hope I have really helped you in some way….make or buy some nice chicken or beef bone broth.
And make sure that you don’t have a bacterial or candida overgrowth too….this will tremendously affect the gut lining and your mind!

Thank you, I have done all of that. I have eliminated breads for weeks, found it was better. I can’t eat apples, causes major episodes. Pears are ok. Anyway….thanks..
