    Yes sorry I completely agree. I'm absolutely not opposed to conventional medicine and know it can be brilliant! I suppose I'm nervous about going on certain drugs (which I know have side effects) when the cause of my issues aren't really known...

    I'm so glad cutting out gluten has meant your depression is better/cured! Apparently the theory is that the nerves in my gut are oversensitive (though I always questioned this as I never really have pain) and that this drug has been proven to help with IBS (I've tried lots of supplements, dietary interventions etc. in the past and none have worked).

    Hi, sorry for the dramatic title but I’m at the end of my tether! Apologies for the very long post as well. Early January 2020 I didn’t have any carbs/dairy milk for 2 weeks and was on antibiotics for bad skin (I know, like an idiot - god do I regret those stupid things now). I can’t remember exactly when but somewhere in the end 2 weeks of January I sud...
