The main causes of malabsorption are maldigestion and microbial overgrowth. Common symptoms are fatigue, thinning hair, dry skin, depression, susceptibility to bruising, unexplainable weight loss, constipation or diarrhea. My daughter fits into this category. She's got dry skin, she's chronically constipated, and she's lethargic. I never would have put the two together.
Dysbiosis is caused by poor diet and a few other things such as the overuse of antibiotics, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs and heavy metal toxins, and more. When these unhealthy microorganism take over the gut, the immune system is put under constant stress to defend the body from these infections. What I didn't know is that intestinal dysbiosis is a contributing cause in rheumatoid arthritis, MS, vitamin B deficiency, chronic fatigue, cystic acne, the early stages of colon and breast cancers, eczema, food allergies, irritable bowl syndrome, and the list goes on. - The Candida Cure, Ann Boroch
This makes sense to a certain extent with my daughter. She's had over use of antibiotics, she has a vitamin B deficiency, a zinc deficiency and constipation. Her preliminary heavy metal toxic screen showed elevated levels of certain things. This was also another contributing factor. One doesn't think that all these heavy metals could be in your system. We just don't think about it, but they're there; hiding.
Today I headed back to Wegman's to buy some more items to experiment with. I spent another $150! Ouch! This sure is a costly venture.
