This year I had a major breakthrough in my treatment: I realized I have both Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and Small Intestine Bowel Overgrowth (SIBO). The interplay between these two diseases made diagnosing them extremely difficult. (It took me 12 years and five doctors: two GPs, a gastroen
Am I the only person who pronounces this drug as if I'm speaking Parseltongue? Gotta have some fun in the pharmacy somewhere. :)
NOTE! This list has gotten too big according to reddit so new ideas/actual recipes will be added in comments. I felt the need to make this post, because I would have found this post invaluable when I first started on this diet. After a month or two on this diet, I was still feeling my way through, b

I wanted to make a post about how to treat STC, because I have never seen a comprehensive regimen for treating it anywhere else on the internet, and even the gastroenterologists I've seen have struggled with treatments. Since my diagnosis I have experimented a great deal with drug combinations (unde
Hi everyone, I really need help and I’m honestly very scared. I have dysautonomia along with severe gastrointestinal motility issues. My constipation is extreme and chronic not mild at all and it seriously affects my ability to function. Right now, I’m on prucalopride and Linzess (linaclotide), whic
Does anyone know when coupons like ozempic, vraylar, rybelsus, linzess, lo lo fe, will be back up? Are they already and I’m possibly doing something wrong?

I’m not sure but I’m hope this is the correct flair for this type of post. I don’t know if anybody else experience this or if they do, it’s to this degree.
