HouseCall: Gilbert’s Syndrome, Vertical Heterophoria, Adrenal Hyperplasia, Types of Belly Bloating, Cows Milk vs. Oat Milk
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…
Let’s get started!
Jade: Hi Dr. Cabral. Thank you for all that you do for all of us. You’re a true blessing! I have Gilbert’s Syndrome and fibromyalgia. I have horrible stomache issues and all over body pain. I use CBD oil for sleeping and for the body pain. Am I putting more strain on my liver with the CBD oil? Am I causing more damage? I also drink fermented drinks and eat fermented foods. Is this good for Gilbert’s? My bilirubin has been 1.8 for the last 2 years.I’ve gone though a lot of stress and emotional grief. I’m thinking this caused my bilirubin to be higher then before which was around 1.3. Thank you for your time. Blessings!
Tiffany: Hello Dr. Cabral I was diagnosed with vertical heterophoria a couple of years ago. Even with corrective lenses it still affects me when I drive on the freeway and the dizziness makes me feel very anxious. It has only gotten worse over the years. What can I do if anything to find the root cause of this or at least relieve my symptoms. It has gotten so bad that sometimes I have to just pull over for a few minutes because of the anxiety. Thanks so much for all the great information. I listen daily!
Nicole: Hi Dr. Cabral! I have been listening to your podcasts for 2 years. Thank you for you for sharing your vast amount of knowledge with your community. My question is regarding my 7 year old son. After a long journey we have finally been diagnosed with Non Classic Congenital Adrenal Hyperplasia which has put his body into early puberty. For this he has been put on Hydrocortisone. After 3 months of taking hydrocortisone his hormone levels are finally dropping. This was great news except for the fact after my request to check his A1C verified he is prediabetic. Now I am at a loss. Do you have any tips for me or know of any good resources? My goal will be to focus on his nutrition as much as possible, as that is something we can control. I often think of you and your journey back to health. I know how intimidating this feels to me I can only imagine how you felt. Thank you for your time and knowledge.
Jamie: Hi Dr Cabral, I was wondering if there is a difference between stomach bloat and lower belly bloat (under belly button) bloat. I sometimes find that while my upper stomach seems not bloated, I have severe bloat in my lower belly, even first thing in the morning. This bloat doesn’t budge with ginger and other natural remedies (or even may still be there after defacation) What are the differences and what may cause lower belly bloat vs upper belly bloat?
Holly: Hi Dr. C, hope you’re well? I have one daily vice – coffee! Yes it’s organic and the second is a swiss water processed decaf 🙂 HOWEVER I’m a latte drinker and do not enjoy the taste of any of the nut milks in coffee. My go to has been Oat milk however it contains veg oils that i know are not good. My question is, would i be better off with cows milk vs. oat milk with oils? Which is the lesser of two evils? Thanks, Holly
