Warning: unhealthy issues

This is my Fiancé, 23 years old. He had been very sick since I met him in 2019. So sick he hasn’t been able to work this whole time. He’d throw up after everything he ate, doctors gave him nausea medication and sent him away. It helped a little but he couldn’t eat a full meal without getting sick even with the meds. Jump forward to 2024, he had lost 80 pounds in 2 months. After that he finally said “F these doctors” and finally was able to see a specialist (GI). The GI ran a whole bunch of tests including upper endoscopy, colonoscopy, and a breath test. The breath test came back that he had a HIGHLY toxic bacteria in his gut that was close to killing him if they had not caught it in time. He took antibiotics and he’s feeling way better and able to eat food (keeping away from acidic). The GI took some scans because he’s not gaining a lot of weight back fast enough, so still some road ahead, but I’m so proud of how brave he was through this journey and I pray he recovers 100% soon

and WHEW insurance don’t cover anything in America😂😭

... Read moreGastrointestinal health is crucial for overall well-being. Many people, like the individual in this story, struggle with misdiagnosed or untreated gut issues, leading to serious health problems. Conditions such as bacterial infections can result in symptoms like chronic nausea, weight loss, and digestive distress. It's vital to seek professional medical advice and not disregard persistent symptoms. Treatment often involves a combination of antibiotics and lifestyle changes, including dietary adjustments to promote gut health. One significant factor in recovery is understanding the role of gut bacteria; a balanced microbiome is essential for digestion and nutrient absorption. When faced with gastrointestinal problems, adopting a diet low in acidic foods, increasing fiber intake, and maintaining hydration can support healing. Additionally, mental health plays a pivotal role in recovery, and having a support system can make a considerable difference. Those facing similar issues should feel empowered to seek second opinions or specialist consultations to ensure they receive the appropriate care.

Unhealthy things I am unlearning as a mom 🌸
Being a good mom is my top priority. 1. Punishing emotions. I will not get my daughter in trouble for yelling at me, crying, or anything else. If you were crying and somebody told you you have no reason to be, or that they’ll give you a reason to cry, how would you feel? Worse? 2. Shaming.
