I got my lab results back!

@Laurany it's a private practitioner and she is a general health doctor not a psychologist. She works closely with a German laboratorium who do all kinds of tests. You can actually just go to their website and order one yourself, depending on where you live of course. The lab is called Pro Health Medical.

@Chip well i have to disagree, because it is known what functions neurotransmitters have in the body and it is known what a diminished or elevated level can do to the body. I agree with the fact that solely based on this results one cannot say what therapy to take, but it's actually pretty useful to know if you want to take medication, because now i know an serotonin reuptaker is out of the picture for me.

And besides that, there is also no scientific consensus about therapy nor medicine regarding to dpdr. So it seems pretty useful to me to compare neurotransmitter values with people who have the same symptoms and maybe find a link between it. I think it's too early stage to disregard any type of disbalance in the body.

@Chris well that actually makes a lot of sense, thanks for the insight! And yes, healing my gut is now priority and i hope it takes away a lot of symptoms. I also read about a gastro-intestinal dysbiosis and that it can cause neurotransmitters to go off-balance as well. So i really think healing my gut should make a lot of difference.

I did a test which involved me sending a poop sample and another blood test. The first one showed me that my good bacteria were depleted and that my mucous membrane was VERY irritated, those two are very important for normal and healthy digestion and overall gut health.

The second test was a food sensitivity test based on LgG anti-bodies. It showed A LOT of high values for foods that arent even that inflammatory, such as eggs and a lot of vegetables like carrot and many more. This means that when i'm eating a egg, it will not be digested properly and some particles will enter the bloodstream and as a result will activate my immune system. In the end you're dealing with a chronic immune system activation which on its own can cause a lot of diseases. So it is very important to eliminate foods that cause inflammation for you. And besides that there are foods that are inflammatory on its own like Potatoes, Gluten, Dairy, Nightshades.

So if you have troubles with your stool (i went to the toilet like once a week) or have a lot of abdominal pain/bloating you should definitely consider going to your doctor and ask for those tests.

And yes probiotics will work for replenishing your good bacteria, but you also have to repair the mucous membrane and the gut lining itself. L-Glutamine is one of the best amino acids known for repairing the gut.
