Reply to comment by DeathRebirth in Study has shown evidence of a specific pathway of cells and nerves linking the gut to the brain that may be responsible for irritable bowel syndrome and anxiety by giuliomagnifico

I agree to some extent in practice, but recent changes to diagnostic criteria (ie Rome IV, and shortly Rome V) and a shift towards positive diagnosis are reducing the number of patients defined as having IBS.

There is certainly an overlap with conditions like SIBO, but as I said to another commenter, these are mechanisms within the DGBI umbrella given the need for visceral overreactivity to convey symptoms.

> gluten

fwiw. Never celiac as a child through my early 20's.... then things slowly changed and started having issues that i chalked up to aging and not something else.

I know this from personal experience far to well. It took me decades to figure out for myself and my own body. We're all different but...

Anti-biotics can cause gluten intolerance that can lead to celiac and IBS responses and diagnoses and positive tests across the board.

A standard course of anti-biotics is enough to completely screw the gut microbiome and for me, cause celiac and often ibs responses. Then a weird cycle can happen when dealing with many doctors to treat the different symptoms that prolongs the problem.

I can reset via specific probiotics and slowly re-introducing it. It takes me about 3 to 5 five months to reset, dependent on how long i had to take the antibiotics. I worked with some PhD folks as a "hail mary" before i said goodbye to certain foods forever.

Most folks seem to have gluten issues, they just don't realize it because it can present in many manners. Headspace is a big part of most people's responses.

I like my occasional pizza and soughdough to much, and I love a good burrito, and screw the medical world that told me I could not keep enjoying these things.

Reply to comment by Bird_skull667 in Phase 1 study: New medicine extends terminally-ill cancer patients' lives. Seventy percent of the patients who tested the medicine were stable after six weeks. Twelve continued the medication and were stable for 18 weeks. One woman took the medication for 17 months, and was stable for over two years by Wagamaga

Not a doctor so those are just my supposition using my medicao knowledge.

terminal stage cancer are extremely similar in the way that the metastasis all around the body makes the treatment impossible and therefore, the cancer type doesn't matter anymore since everything is affected.

Edit : this was false, i'm glad i kept myself aware to be proven wrong.

Reply to comment by Redneck2Researcher in CBD Was Efficient In Preventing Chemotherapy-Induced Neuropathic Pain by Defiant_Race_7544

CBD inhibits the negative effects of THC. but also makes it more difficult to get "stoned". CBD keeps the paranoia away, and stop down regulation of CB1 receptors through it's antagonist qualities increases andamide. You don't "need" thc for CBD to work, they are incorrect. Mixing with CBG, CBC, CBT, CBN and a little DMSO if it is used topically and you have a powerful mood boosting system wide antinflammatory. I put it on my rosacea and take it orally. Works pretty well, but it's just another piece to this puzzle of health I'm chasing.

My dear, sweet, highly qualified legal assistant of over 30 years died at 78 due to a fall at home during the covid-19 stay at home era. I wish you could see her file about the Veteran husband she had lost 20 years ago as it related to the connection between his closed head injury received while firing an artillery shell and his Crohn's disease.

We never made the connection scientifically, but she always suspected there was one, at least in terms of aggravation of symptoms.

Can you tell me more about the GI map test? What does it do and how does it help diagnose what may be wrong?

I always had bloating issues (I fart an INSANE amount after I eat) and also have anxiety. So I would love to start looking into this.

Reply to comment by lai-shxuan in A study shows that patients with the most serious health issues who thought that continuing the treatment would result in destitution only had an estimated 24% chance of continuing treatment, while those thinking paying fees would not negatively affect their financial situations had a 95% likelihood by nmhhg8

We need even the most obvious truths codified on paper and indisputable. It's a serious problem.
