Re: Adrenal crisis/depression/IBS/auto immune condition rapid progression after stomach infection? desperately need help
Hey demgains (nice username lol),
definitely get some tests done, hormones/thyroid, but then also tests done by private labs for things like bacteria, yeast, mold, parasites, etc.
i'm suffering from a similar problem of sorts, but not as severe, but similar in that i can link my digestive problems to a single incident of getting sick in China (7 months ago while on
Antibiotics ) and ever since then chornic constipation/bloating.
here's a good link about some of the reputable tests out there, kinda pricey though

you should look at metametrix's GI Effects tests
maybe the comprehensive one woudl be best for you, but the one that focuses on just bacteria/yeast/mold would also be good i think. but i've heard it doesnt detect
parasites very well, so this link has some good tests for that, if you think that could be a problem.
