Check out today's questions: Leah: Hi, I was wondering if you know about how to deal with constipation and stuck poop due to tortuous colon. Thank you! Bettina: Dear Dr. Cabral, I'm reaching out regarding my husband, who is 47 years old and experiencing a range of symptoms that we're hoping to better understand. He has sensitive gums that are gradually receding, and he produces an excessive amount of earwax. He blows his nose daily and often feels tightness and tension in his neck, throat, and upper body. He is gluten intolerant and also reacts to milk sugar and lactose. Additionally, he frequently struggles to fall asleep. While these symptoms may not be directly related, I'd greatly appreciate your insight into any potential underlying connections or contributing factors and ideas to what my husband can do to change this. Thank you very much for your time and expertise. Ellen: I have a question about high serum vitamin B12 levels. The normal range on the lab is 232 - 946. I am more than double the high end of the range at 1945. I take a daily multivitamin with with 400 mcg of B12, and take no other B12 supplement. Why is my number so high? Diana: Hi Dr. Cabral, My liver is stressed. Found out I have fatty liver in May, but am already doing everything I should to help reverse it. I'm wondering what you would do in my situation. For background, I have Ehlers Danlos & ME/CFS for 30 years (I'm 42). Have horrible PEM (can't walk for 5 mins, have to carefully plan all exertion), so can't exercise. Hypometabolic & blood glucose constantly elevated & spikes with exertion (walking to my kitchen, etc.), but eat healthy & no spikes with food. EBV reactivated 5 years ago & won't go away. Did Big 5 last year, nothing with liver came up. Have mold toxicity & SIBO, took binders to help. Did CBO protocol, but SIBO & mold won't go away. Do 21-day detox regularly, take DNS powder 2x per day + almost all supplements suggested in NAFLD podcast. Allen: I am new to your podcast but saw you are offering the First Labs Program for 50% off labs. Is this all labs like the Big 5, or only certain ones. Can I run all of them?
