i spent six years going to doctors.
GI specialist. gastroenterologist. functional medicine. naturopath. you name it i went.
they all said the same thing: your tests are normal, its probably stress.
but i wasnt stressed. i was bloated. visibly, measurably bloated. my abdomen was distended. i looked pregnant. this wasnt in my head.
i started researching myself because the medical system had basically given up on me. im a researcher by training so i know how to read studies. and what i found made me furious.
because the answer was right there in the literature. its called post-antibiotic dysbiosis and it explains everything. every symptom. every failed treatment. every doctor who said nothing is wrong.
if youve ever been told your tests are normal while your body is clearly not... keep reading because the science is actually very clear on this.
