Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!
I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…
Kelly: Hi Dr. Cabral I have always had very regular digestion and eat a healthy Whole Foods plant-based vegan diet. However, after having my baby nine months ago, everything changed. I went through natural childbirth and the babies head size was in the 99th percentile I had some pelvic floor issues after delivery And part of that was bleeding after bowel movements. The therapist attributed it to structural changes in pelvic floor. I have worked on pelvic floor exercises to remedy this, but currently the only thing that prevents me from bleeding when having bowel movements is drinking one “smooth move†tea per night, which features the herb Senna. I understand that you should never take laxatives on a daily basis, but this is the only thing that helps! Is senna ok?
Kenzie: I saw you recommended fecal immunotherapy test. If you sometimes have blood from hemmorhoids would that show in test/ effect results? Thank you
Anonymous: Hi, dr. C., I’m tracking my cycle with Oura.My follicular phase is usually between 17-21 days long,my luteal phase is around 10 days. What does that mean? My periods are not strong but they start with spotting a few days before the actual VERY PAINFUL first day of my period. The cramps/pain come in 3 or 4 intervals that last around 2h each, usually only on that first day but lately even on the second day once or twice. The pain is excruciating & unbearable, but I don’t take any pharmaceuticals. I use supplements, not sure about their bioavailability. I have fibromyalgia & I see with Oura that I get a lot of REM sleep but not 90min of deep sleep (usually between 1h or 75min, rarely 85). My stress levels are also very high throughout most of the day. Testing is not an option, please help
Anonymous: Hi ! I started taking parasite protocol last month and 2 weeks later , i began seeing white specks(that look like sesame seeds), and black flat hard shells(the size of a small bean) in my stool. I have been seeing so may of them since as well as a lot of mucus in the stool, and I am wondering if you have any insight on what kinds of parasite or parasite eggs these could be? If these are eggs and not fully grown parasites, would that mean I got the parasitic infection recently? I haven't seen any grown worms yet. Also, what can I do so I never get parasites again? It is so traumatic.
Lindsay: Hi Dr Cabral. I have self diagnosed myself with (R-CPD). I have all the symptoms. Mainly I can burp and get very gassy in my stomach because of it. I have no pain like other thank god. In my research the only thing I've found people do for relief is botox on their throat. Is there any functional medicine practices to help with the extended stomach issue from this?
Hannah: Hi Dr.Cabral. I would first off like to thankyou for all of the information you provide on these podcasts, it has changed my life in so many ways for the better. Im 17 and have been listening for 2 years now every since i started getting sick, i have had amenorrhea for two years that was followed by losing 17 kg unexpectedly in 6 months and alot of other issues with my gut even eating over 3000 calories a day (but whole food) . However the issue i have now is my thyroid keeps getting lower (currently at 3.74) and i cannot stop binge eating after a TBI in a horse riding accident and have gained 5+ kg in 1 month and it keeps going up. I cant afford lab tests (i live in australia) as i have looked into it and it just isnt possible, do you have any other recommendations? Thanks in advance
