So for the last few years I have suffered with fibroid cysts in my breast, cysts on my ovaries, (so badly that I had to have my left ovary removed), severe heartburn and indigestion and more recently— and what finally helped us find the answers to what was causing all of this— skin issues. I started getting dry patches on my back that lotion didn’t help, acne (I didn’t even have acne as a teenager and now I am in my 30 and having it? It was driving me nuts…..
I found out that ALL of these issues are the outcome of years of Mountain Dew and Rockstar energy drinks due to the high caffeine content. So I am going on week three with no caffeine. Upon further research, I found that my gut health was off. The bad bacteria took over and that was the issue causing my ulcers. So I am now on week 2 of probiotics.
I am seriously amazed at how much better I feel overall without the caffeine overload and after starting the probiotics. I have not had to wake up 15 times at night due to heartburn rushing up my throat, I have been falling asleep at night much faster, and I have dropped a couple of pounds to top it all. I’m enjoying my food so much more now. And, my skin is clearing up!!!
If you are having stomach issues or skin issues talk to your doctor about it and refuse to just settle for some script to relieve heartburn!!! I went through script after script for omeprazole and it never got better. The script was just masking the problem.
