Listen Later

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!

I’m looking forward to sharing with you some of our community’s questions that have come in over the past few weeks…

 

Cindy: I have battled diarrhea for several years, and despite all kinds of stool testing and various diagnosis, I finally diagnosed myself with bile acid malabsorption. I have the classic symptoms. They put me on medication for it, and it is controlling the diarrhea, but I am wondering if I will have to take medication the rest of my life or is there a cure?

 

Melissa: I trying to adopt a more plant based diet but am concerned about lectins and oxalates. I reading a lot about how they are damaging and consuming a lot of them on a plant based diet can have bad health effects. Can you advise if this is a real issue and how to handle, or if this something not to worry about?

 

Dionna: Hey, Dr. Cabral. First, a sincere thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing what you do. After a year and a half of being so sick, your Big 5, plus the gut health lab have changed my life! I am in month 2 of the CBO Protocol. We leave for Barbados on March 29th. I will still be about a week or two from finishing the Protocol, and will not have started the Gut Finisher yet. How can I go on vacation, be able to eat, and NOT reverse all the work I've done to get better. Also, I am not a big drinker at all, but on rare occasion, I like to enjoy a cocktail. Is that even a possibility while on the protocol? I want to enjoy vacation but more importantly, not mess up everything I've worked so hard for. Thank you! You are an Earth Angel! REVISED from just a few hours ago. I just wanted to clarify that I will be staying at an All Inclusive Resort while in Barbados. I'm not sure what my food options will look like, which is the basis for my original question. Thank you

 

Taliitha (tah-leh-thuh, like Tabitha, she/her): Thank you for having this forum to ask questions, and for consistently sharing your knowledge. I have pigmented purpura dermatosis, biopsy confirmed, that comes and goes over most of my body. If you are not familiar, it is a type of capillaritis. Do you have any thoughts on root cause or management? For over 6 months, and currently I am taking rutin and vitamin C in the form of equilife alkalizing vitamin C (based on a research article suggesting this would be helpful), no noticeable effects. Did minerals & metals, organic acids, food sensitivity labs. I am taking DNS, DFVB, B complex, magnesium, adrenal soothe, omega-3, and non-equilife zinc/elderberry gummies, histpro and digestive enzyme. Quarterly detoxes for 1 year with a 21-day, heavy metal detox, just started the CBO protocol.

 

Tin: I am 15 weeks pregnant and I am taking my time to learn more about prenatal and maternity health. I’m curious what are your thoughts about Oral Glucose Tolerance Test? It usually contains 75g of sugar in the solution and taken after fasting. I’m a bit concerned about this much sugar plus the colorings added to that. My OB said this is required to test for gestational diabetes but heard that test can come out false and inaccurate. My FBS and HbA1c are all good, I take supplements and workout, so I think I have low risk. What are other alternatives for this that has less risk to my body? Thank you again for all that you do.
