But my nutritionist requested I drop ALL supplements to retry all of them one at a time as my health became a medical emergency.
Elimination:
Eliminating all supplements helped me to rediscover which supplements were actually helping me and whether my body was absorbing them.
It was a relief for a short while to have no tablets, capsules and powders to take and I welcomed the relief of pill fatigue.
It didn’t take long before I could see which supplements were working while I was taking them. It took about 6 weeks before I was begging my new GP to reintroducethe Microbiome Labs MegaSporebiotic.
My belly was bloated to the max withoutSporebiotic.
It was a hot mess!
I was tempted to purchase maternity clothing during the time I was off MegaSporebiotic! Fortunately I had some clothes I used before I was introduced to MegaSporebiotic.
Reintroduction:
Reintroducing them again was another experience as I recorded all of the slight changes occurring daily making it easier for me to share the possible outcomes of slowly introducingMegaSporebiotic.
After the first week I felt great relief, but it took a few more weeks before I could put those “maternity” clothes away. I measured my bloated gut previously curious as to how Megasporebiotic would impact my bloating measurement.
Steps 2 and 3:
Sure enough…I lost five inches of belly bloat and it hasn’t returned since I continued with the 3 month course. I am currently on the second month having reintroduced the MegaPre, which is the prebiotic , the food that feeds the MegaSporebiotic bacteria.
Next month I will reintroduce the MegaMucosafor the sealing of the lining of the intestines preventing leaky gut. Whew. What a relief.
My clients are also finding the same results as mine, which I am so happy to hear.
I even opened an online shop to make the products more available for the Australian Customers and especially for Perth, my hometown, to expedite the delivery of the products.
Also for me to meet and greet my clients face to face to assist them through their journey and success.
A three month course of supplements with full instructions is available to guide you to rebuild your microbiome for your gut health. https://microbiomelabs.com/home/
Transcript of Interview with Dr Tom O’Bryan and Professor Fasano on Intestinal Permeability, aka Leaky Gut Syndrome and Gluten.
Dr Tom O’Bryan:
Your team has published, and others have published that wheat, irrespective of Celiac disease, vulnerability or not, wheat can cause intestinal permeability in every human, every human. And that’s some of of the fastest growing cells in the body, we regenerate new cells every day. And some of the fastest ones are the inside lining of the intestines.
So some people will eat wheat, there is damage to the intestines that occurs, intestinal permeability, but it’s not pathogenic, that it heals. And they have a sandwich for lunch, and they cause permeability, but it heals, and pasta for dinner, cause permeability, but it heals.
And I’ve used that concept to say, and then one day, somewhere down the road, you cross an imaginary line, you lose oral tolerance, you don’t heal anymore, and now you have systemic inflammation.
Is that line of thinking fairly straightforward, or do we need to shift our thinking from that?
Professor Alessio Fasano:
So again, some people, you’re right, everybody, not just the people with Celiac disease or gluten leaks assume that when they eat gluten, they can increase gut permeability.
And again, some people they brought this concept to the extreme by saying, because of that, everybody should go gluten free because everybody will pay consequence of that. I believe that this is an oversimplification of a much more complex situation.
First of all, gluten is one of the many, many factors that can increase gut permeability. You know, stress, excessive use of alcohol, infections. There are many okay? So gluten is one of them, proximal bacterial over growth and so and so forth.
And that needs to be recognized, no matter what, though, and as I mentioned before, to really lose tolerance and develop problems, you have to have five elements with gut permeability, one of the five.
Despite that intestinal leaks, you’re not going to develop problems. You know, the more I study gluten, the more I realized that it really put in motions all the machines of defense that we use when we’re exposed to pathogens. Well, it’s the same kind of weaponry. We are supposed to value these all the time. Thankfully, lose the war very rarely.
And when we lose the war we develop infections. Otherwise it would be a disaster if every single time we’re exposed, we lost it. By the same token, you know, everybody that eats gluten leaks with the guts, but very rarely that translates to disease because takes much more really to get to the point to lose tolerance.
So the point that I’m trying to make, you can eat gluten every day for your life and if your intestine leaks on and off all the time. And that doesn’t translate into disease.
Or you can be an individual that eats gluten once a week.
And sure enough, that one time, because you have the perfect storm of the other elements coming, into play will lead to breaking tolerance. At that point, you’re that kind of vicious loop that ingesting gluten that is not matter anymore.
Testimony:Gabriel’s Healing of Lactose Intolerance By Annamaria A. Garcia
Our son, Gabriel was struggling with allergies, asthma and then came lactose intolerance, reflux, sluggishness, and a general feeling of not being well.
He started having these issues at about 7 years of age, and by the time he was 11 things escalated to where he spent Christmas Eve at the emergency section of the children’s hospital getting drips and having to diet throughout the Christmas break due to nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
The pediatrician would just prescribe medication (marked as not intended for children under 15 or 18 years old – he was 11 at the time) and she had no other solution, but we did not want our son on medication.
This is when we were introduced to Debby, who had a major role in educating us about autoimmune conditions.
Debby was always ready to help with advice, encouragement and research.
Shortly after we also met some local therapists and among other things, Gabriel could go through a 2 months detoxification treatment through a strict diet and with the help of bio-resonance (Mora) therapy.
“One placebo-controlled study of the effects of bioresonance therapy showed that “MORA bioresonance therapy can markedly improve non-organic gastro-intestinal complaints.”
The therapist also told me that if we just get off the stuff that bothers us (e.g. diary), it takes months for it to clear out from our system, and that these treatments make it faster. Gaby had a reading of 1000 for dairy as per machine, when 0 is normal and after 8 weeks it was back to 0.
Gabriel had a drastic healing, to where he has no issues with lactose intolerance or asthma anymore, (this is also documented through medical tests.)
While he used to have to be excused from PE classes in school due to being unwell, he started playing basketball and is generally feeling well. “
Back and join pains, weight loss
Istopped eating gluten and in one week the plumpness around my waist I previously had not been able to be rid of was gone…it was just gone…
I had struggled regular back and joint pains and I believe dairy and gluten had to do with it, as after changing diet, the pain ceased.
I learnt from Debby about autoimmune issues and how there is a whole other way to approach these things. She helped with counsel overall, and educated me about the dangers of gluten. She encouraged us with hope that is a solution.
Annamaria A. Garcia, Hungary
From Debby’s CGP Case File:
Early Proactive Intervention Prevents Life Long Chronic Disease:
Genetic: Family history of low stomach acid causing stomach aches and food sensitivities, dairy and gluten sensitivity.
Triggers: Mold, dust mites, dairy and gluten
Leaky Gut: bone broth, change of diet, gluten free, dairy free.
Symptoms/Testing: bloated at times, or gets cramps
– lactose sensitivity is valid,
– some mild infections
– blood test: result as positive, he could be gluten sensitive.
– had an endoscopy”Gastroscopia”, but this showed notraces of gluten sensitivity,
-“Resonance machine”picked up gluten sensitivity.
Conclusion: “ I wanted to let you know that I was able to find a very good functional medicine doctor in a nearby city. She does bio-resonance treatments and I had Gaby and my daughter go through detoxification treatments. Gaby is much better and this is a huge break-through. When I took him to this bio-resonance treatment, there it showed he has more issues with dairy than gluten, the gluten was rather a secondary thing due to the dairy issue.”
Gut issues: Gaby really overate at a party, although it was mostly French fries and chicken breast..following day was sensitive to other foods and fizzy drinks.
“He could not eat or drink anymore, he was in pain (his stomach has been generally so sensitive, that is he never buttons his pants properly as bothers him, even when he is okay, his stomach is still sensitive for touch.”
“Gabriel every morning nausea, runs, stomach cramps
he does not eat gluten, maybe the oats he has been eating?”
“Now in the morning finally he had runs and it came out and now he is sleeping, tummy aches, dizziness and since then he is fully off gluten (at least if he gets any it is not intentional, but might happen if we are unaware it has gluten, but I think mostly that does not happen)”.
“Since then it is on and off and he complains of headaches, dizziness quite a bit.”
Allergy, asthma difficult breathing during heavy rains and storms
Dizziness, dust mite allergy, struggles with mold in the house, causing missing school, doctors, neurologist.
Older brother also has dust mite allergy, eye and ear doctor without successful outcome for dizziness. Became moody, headaches and self-focused. Allergy Testing confirmed dust mites and mold allergies. Mold and dust mites were addressed.
“Gaby still has issues with some stuff, allergies, he had started out with chronic sinusitis that the normal doctor did not even notice, but it got cleared up and we know more how we can help avoid the bad state he was in before.”
Gaby’s sister had problems with both gluten and dairy
“It turned out what he really has the problem with is dairy-gluten problem was just a result of a messed up gut plus heavy metals from vaccinations.
trial gluten free diet for a few weeks
“I cut sugar out of my morning coffee and no bread for dinners.
bread reduction worked, more energy and felt less tired, drastically minimised sugar and bread intake.”
“We started to make bone broth and give it to him well, let’s say, almost daily.”
“We are doing this not eating gluten for a week almost now with Gabriel. Quite amazing, no stomach aches, reflux…”
“Gabriel is so much better in every way, so we are so thankful.”
I think this is also normal (I think it is OK from 0.0. to 5.0)”
“He is healed from his lactose sensitivity and his asthma as well, it is a total miracle.”
“It is amazing now to see Gaby just being generally so much better, and he is not returning to eating dairy, only maybe can have occasional exceptions.”
“So just wanted to let you know and thanks again for starting us on this journey to know where we can find help which direction to look.”
Our eldest daughter (12) was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease last year.
After extensive testing, endoscopy, colonoscopy the GI specialist recommended that we put her on Biologics to handle the disease… For the rest of her life
She had lost almost all her appetite over the course of 3 months. She was so weak she never left the house and barely left her room. Her weight had dropped from 110lbs(49.8kg) to around 70lbs(31.7kg). She was starting to look skeletal, it was scary.
Well a friend told me to read this book ‘Breaking The Vicious Cycle‘ by Elaine Gottschall and it talked about using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, SCD diet up battle Crohn’s.
Demonstrating the before/after scans over 1 year with Specific Carbohydrate Diet, healing the inflammation and ulcers.

Crohn’s Disease is very painful and is increasing in prevalence.
Crohn’s disease is an Autoimmune Disease in the category of IBD (aka Inflammatory Bowel Disease), much more serious than IBS (aka Irritable Bowel Syndrome).
Simply described it is inflammation of the GI track, (aka digestive tract) and has some similarities to Celiac Disease.
The main symptoms of Crohn’s Disease include:
– Diarrhoea and loose stools
– Abdominal pain and cramping
– Mouth ulcers
– Weight loss and reduced appetite
– Blood in stools
– Fatigue and fevers
The MainIBS symptoms include:
– diarrhoea or constipation
– cramping and abdominal pain/gas
– bloating
– mucous in stool
There is no cure for Crohn’s but there is hope with Functional Medicine procedures including dietary and lifestyle interventions. These include:
Your Microbiome/the healthy bacteria in your gut, benefits from eliminating refined sugar, grains, especially gluten, processed foods, dairy products and prevention of antibiotic use whenever possible.
Prevent malnutrition by nourishing your body with foods like coconut oil,wild caught salmon, flax seeds, organic fruits, grass-fed meat, and blueberries, for example.
A higher protein diet, like a Paleo-type diet or the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) works well for people with Crohn’s disease. Paleo lifestyle hacks help eliminate inflammatory foods, allowing your gut to heal.
Stress reduction, including good sleep which allows the whole body to heal, putting your body into remission.
Before and after pics of a 11-12 year old girl, over a one-year period, with Crohn’s Disease. On the left she is eating a standard American diet. (SAD). On the right she had been using the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD) for one year. Notice the healthy food swaps, much improved skin colour, brighter eyes and improved posture.
Acute flare-ups can be triggered by stress, foods, anxiety, depression, or acute infections.
Naturopathic medical approaches which emphasise dietary and lifestyle changes have been shown by research to be successful in managing Crohn’s disease.
A higher protein diet, like a Paleo-type diet or the Specific Carbohydrate Diet (SCD)works well for people with Crohn’s disease.
Crohn’s Disease is an Autoimmune Disease.
The3 components of Autoimmune Diseaseare:
Genetics: Test for the gene
2. Environmental Triggers: commonly gluten, wheat, barley and rye family
3. Leaky Gut: caused by environmental triggers
On a personal level I have discovered Microbiome Labs Products.
Many factors are involved. I found this articleby Elena Klimenko MD which focuses on low stomach acid, covering the importance, the causes and a self-exam for low stomach acid. I tried the self-exam and found it to be 100% accurate. I definitely had low stomach acid. I already knew I had, but my daughter wasn’t convinced, although she had the symptoms, the self-exam showed her also to be low in stomach acid.
From there we were able to resolve the issue by taking Apple Cider Vinegar, fermented foods, reducing processed foods, increasing zinc, reducing chronic stress especially while eating meals and seeing a functional medicine doctor to discover the underlying root cause.
Dr Elena Klimenko also has an article on the importance of bile flow. Acid reflux occurs during low bile flow, GERD (Gastro-Esophageal Reflux Disease), fatigue and more. The article also talks about the causes of low bile flow including gallstones, diabetes, and obesity.
Home Remedies include a warm lemon juice first thing in the morning, activating the liver. Remember “Lemon for Liver.” Apple Cider Vinegar for Stomach Acid or “ACV for Acid.”
Constipation can also be a result of dysbiosis (aka microbial imbalance in the body) For constipation the imbalance is in the gut, the good bacteria verses the bad bacteria and which one is dominating.
SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacteria Overgrowth) and SIFO (Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth) have been accounted for the dysbiosis (the bad guys taking over.) Learn about the importance of your gut microbiota here.
Food digestion, breaking down the food preparing to pass from the stomach to the small intestine. If you get this wrong all havoc begins including “leaky gut syndrome” where undigested food particles enter the blood stream causing food intolerance.
Hormone imbalance is also a result of gut dysbiosis.
Two home remedies are to reduce sugar as bacteria thrives on it and avoid fluoride/chlorinated drinking water as it damages the good microbes. Try a quality water filter instead.
A rather interesting factor to constipation is pelvic floor dysfunction. This was new to me, but this article tells a compelling story. It turns out it is a leading cause of constipation!
The causes include recurrent UTI’s (Urinary Track Infections), if you have IBS and even pain during intercourse.
Pelvic Floor Exercises are found here but I also have found another solution that is very effective, the Yoni Egg. It has a long history. I was introduced to it by Christiane Northrup MD.
Last but not least Gut Nourishing Foods to help ease or reverse your constipation. I had chronic constipation and found these nourishing foods very helpful. I am now in remission! The foods include sauerkraut, yogurt, onions, garlic and more. Bone Broth is essential.
Homework: Self-Educate yourself and surprise yourself with self-healing!
