Excessive Gas, Now Cramps, Racing Heart, H. Pylori
Hello Ted,
I have been reading your posts on earthclinic.com and need some help. I will try to keep my story as brief as possible. I have always had an issue with excess gas. I started getting lower abdomen cramps two years ago with the occasional blood in my stool, diarrhea, and constipation. I started to take probiotics which seemed to help for a while, but did not eliminate the problem. After taking a stool test that came back positive, my doctor stated I could have Colitis or Chron's. He encouraged me to continue to take probiotics and improve my diet. i followed his advice and started to regulate my diet and become more active going to the gym 3 times a week. The results where positive and noticed every time I finished working out my stomach felt better. Out of no where one day I had experienced a racing heart. The next day I had a racing heart and severe acid reflux. Following my Dr's advice I took Prilosec which helped but not completely. I then started my journey on internet to find natural cures for my problems. I suggested to my Dr. I get tested for h pylori after reading posts from other people with the same symptoms I had. I test positive and was put on Triple Therapy treatment from my Dr. I got a little better but still had issues with reflux and heart palpitations. I started to take some ACV in water for a week and my acid reflux was relieved. I still felt some burning in my stomach upper stomach under ribs. I then started to take Mastic Gum for two weeks straight. At this point I felt alot better with minor burning in my stomach. I started to see a Holistic Dr who prescribed some supplements some that help and some that did not.I I then started to feel symptoms of a hiatal hernia. The hernia got better with some help of digestive bitters and probiotics. I still feel like I have minor one still. I felt really good and started to introduce more foods into my diet. Last week I experienced a day of black tarry stool with blood. The next day I started to experience the same burning in my upper stomach. I started taking mastic gum again as I believe the H Pylori and possible stomach ulcer was never fully healed. I also began your alkalizing remdy of lemon and baking soda in water and after 3 days feel much better with a little burning here and there.
My Questions for you are:
Should I continue to take the mastic gum for a month combined with the Lemon baking soda in water? or try something else?
I feel a burning sensation and pressure in my chest left side with some heart palpitations here and there. What is causing this burning and pressure in the chest and heart palpitations? What is the best way to resolve this?
Do you suggest I take Zinc and Magnesium Citrate to resolve the chest and heart palpitation problems?
Your help would be greatly appreciated as I am desperate to heal myself. Thank you for your time and patience.
You can combine mastic gum with lemon juice and baking soda.
The burning pain or acid reflux is best helped with humic acid just 1/16 teaspoon taken before sleep. The other problem is digestive enzyme during eating will help with acid reflux. I believe heart palpitations is magnesium deficiency.
Zinc may have favorable effect on Crohn's and Interstitial colitis. Magnesium particularly has favorable effect on that, plus heart palpitations.
Crohn's and Interstital colitis responds well to aloe vera oil and humic acid. It also responds well to chlorine, such as sodium chlorite 25% (a.k.a. MMS) or sodium hypochlorite 10%. You only need a drop of two of that and do enema is best, but also sometimes responds to taken orally. But very few like that as it causes nausea. You cannot mix humic acid with any chlorine (MMS or sodium hypochlorite).
As to probiotics, continue with that, but I must warn you, people with interstital colitis and Crohn's disease their urinary pH are very acid, which is the reason they got it. It helps by taking baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon in a glass of water, after meal and one before sleep. The baking soda will normalize your intestinal flora so that you don't end up taking probiotics for the rest of your life.
One more thing, take B50 (B1,B2, B3, B5 ...B12) once a day briefly such as a week or two will help restore normal digestive enzymes and get you back to normal in terms of acid reflux too. I had one case of acid reflux which was help with 1/8 teaspoon of humic acid powder. Fulvic acid may also help, but that's just to restore immune response to normal, mostly.

SIR TED, IN YOR 0PINION, DO U THINK THERE MAY B A LINK BETWEEN HP HERPIES? I ASK THIS B CO Z I HAVE NOTICED A LOT OF FOLKS DIOGNOSED WITH H-PYLORIA ALSO SUFFER WITH H-PYLORIA ALSO TEND 2 HAVE HPV 1 2 as well, DO U HAVE N E OPINION ON THIS? OR D0SE N E 1 ELSE HAVE N E NOTES ON THIS? LOVE ANDREA C X X X
Andrea,
HPV and H. Pylori are related as the HPV weakened immune system and that causes H. Pylori to act up. Avoid sugar, take digestive enzymes with every meals will help. If you can get a little humic acid will relieve some excessive gas. The charcoal will help too, but watch out for constipation. Racing heart, could be other conditions such as cardiovascular problems (high cholesterol), but it will be helped by taking magnesium.

Wow... I'd take more magnesium if I were you. I take about 2400 mg a day. I tell people to take a little more each day until it gives you diarrhea, then cut back that one dose. If you are not getting diarrhea, then your body is using it. Also, try adding potassium and calcium. They all work together for cramps.

Magnesium and potassium together will help the heart palpitations. I drink 1 coconut water when I feel my heart palpitating and it goes away. There is almost twice as much potassium in one coconut water as 1 banana. Supplemental potassium is so minuscule that you would have to take about 5 to 10 pills to get as much as you need when heart palps start. Magnesium is the gate keeper to let potassium into your cells so you should take it if you have potassium deficiency issues.

For me, the fastest way to get magnesium into the body for immediate results is magnesium chloride liquid in a spray bottle. I spray it all over the body, wait 15 minutes, then do a hot soak with epson salts and baking soda. Much of the time, the pain and pressure of the gas buildup is relieved after the soak, and I feel normal again!
