there is no test yet to determine POIS in a person
RE: John21 and H pylori John I might have missed some of your posts, but why are you focusing on 'H pylori' in particular?I have made a comment in the past that I am sure a number of people here could very easily be suffering from a gut microbiology disorder given some of the comments I have read about improvement resulting from less carbs, less sugar, or taking garlic or probiotics. I have suffered from IBS and food + chemical intolerances for years. The problems started around the same time pois symptoms first started. I used to suffer from bad stomach pains. I saw a gastro doc had few tests and was told there was no problem (focus was on celiac disease. I then saw an enviro doc who picked up on Candida overgrowth and I was treated for that and that was a big factor in my being able to return to work.I had a faecal microbiology test done a few years ago. It came back as having overgrowth problems with enterococcus + streptococcus + klebsiella. These bacteria effect fatty acids + intestinal permeability + cognitive function. My doctor while great in some respects, does not look outside pharmaceuticals when it comes to treatment. I had to go on laxatives for months and then a couple of antibiotic cycles. (no mention of diet or probiotics). I had a subsequent test and I still had overgrowth of the same bacteria just slightly lower readings. I then visited a naturopath and took some herbs which definitely helped and tried to stick to a special diet. My pois is not as bad, but its still there. I have not had a subsequent faecal test as they aren't cheap. I still have problems, though I don't always stick to my diet. When I take a herbal laxative (senna, liquorice, psyllium, etc) I feel much better cognitively for the next 5 days, which definitely helps to offset pois. Also these faecal tests don't focus on non bacterial parasites which could be a problem. Intestinal problems will definitely aggravate pois symptoms, but I don't know if its a cause, because not everyone here seems to have gut problems
In light of this should I consider asking my gastro about it, again?What would there be in the foods you mention that would make things worse?
1) did you consider this idea of the undescended testicle op playing a 'role' in your POIS prior to me mentioning it?
2) Im sorry for mentioning the dreaded 'c' word (the last thing i want is to read lots of posts about cancer) but the only thing i can think of which relates to 'documented science fact' about the long term effects of an undescended testicle is the high cancer link. To be fair I have never read too much about this (cant bare to really!).
I have read about this link, BUT I have never read a reason 'WHY' theres a link. 'WHY' would an operation thats healed at birth effect cancer risk later in life. IS there a medical reason documented for 'WHY' this??If nothing is offically recorded for this then, I have to refer back to this theory of mine, as in the psychological impact of the op (or at least the impact on the nervous system), effects long-term posture, which effects hormone/chemical balances, hence the higher cancer risk.It sounds long winded but in my case (not cancer, but posture) it felt like 'one' joined process if that makes sense (?)
demografx could u please advise me on thisI am still a virgin and was wondering if there is any chance of a healthy marital life with this condition and how to manage it, and does it cause infertility, can u have kids?
