@bmont you’re welcome. Good job
with finding a team of doctors that can help. I know that is not easy. I have seen often with stomach ulcers, the helicobactor pylori bacteria being the cause. I am sure your team will get to the bottom of the problem. I agree the gut plays a big role towards our immunity. As long as we have the patience and willingness to make changes we can find a way to heal. I try to do that through the use of foods and exercise first before medications. I only use medications if there is no other option for a treatment. Glad to see you are an advocate for yourself. You need to be to have some control of your health. My mother at 91 decides for herself. I just present the facts, give the options, and she tells me what she wants. An individual can never be too old. Wish you well and please, if you have any questions don’t be afraid to ask. Hope you find answers soon.
