This is very thorough it seems, in testing the anatomical structures. Cells, tissue, all seems normal from these tests.
Im still suggesting that he goes for stool sample testing, checking for yeast, parasites, and heavy metals.
He needs to be tested in a more homeopathic way. Throwing remedies at symptoms doesnt fix the initial problem.
If you have someone near you, who practices 'functional medicine', he can be tested foe the things that can get to the bottom of the problem

Oh yeah bring in the pseudoscience. let's start with some homeopathic remedies that contain not a single molecule of active ingredient :banghead:

heman, you have shared some test results. What have the various doctors concluded from this and how did they suggest to treat the condition (in terms of medication and diet adaptation)? Specifically, has your brother tried an elimination diet, i.e cutting out gluten, lactose, FODMAP, etc? Also, is the low blood pressure a new symptom? If so, you/the doctor should do a blood test to find the cause and treat the symptom for now.

Thank You. And the probiotics? Which brand if you remember and dose do you recommend?

Sure, I will make him do the test in 2 days time. Thank You

All the doctors, prescribed him similar medicines which I think were digestive enzymes, diarreha meds, some gave some probiotics etc. Nothing worked.

He tried diff. diets and got fed up. But still, he don't take lactose. Gluten yes. But as I said, right now he is depressed and does not care. He is helpless.

The Low B.P. is not new. it varies however. Max reading ever was 110/80. Mostly its on the lower side. When he is in stress, it goes down to as low as 70/50.

 

[MyNameIsJeff]

The priorities then should be to first address his mental health, then get him to follow a strict diet. FODMAP is a good start, avoiding gluten may help, too, though if it were celiac disease the doctors would have found that. Here is a good guide on FODMAP: https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/fodmaps-101#section5

I also agree with saffire that BPC157 may be worth a shot in conjuction with a change in diet. Getting him to start some low intensity training may further help motivate him to follow a strict diet and has benefits on its own.

Antral gastritis is concerning. That's an autoimmune disorder (genetic).

Fat in his stool means there's a malabsorption issue. My thought process is fats -> Bile -> Gallbladder/Liver. Liver was normal on the studies, no mention of the gallbladder. Was there blood work done (CBC)? Chronically low blood pressure, i'd want to check a hormone panel. See his cortisol levels, adrenals, androgen, ACTH, T3/T4, TSH, anything that would contribute to blood pressure.

The OP has stated all traditional medical interventions has FAILED. So 11 is correct, giving homeopathic route a try. What should the patient do? Suffer and not give alternative medicine a go because YOU think it won't work.

CBC is fine. Thyroid too. Other hormone tests you mentioned has not done yet. Will do. And, about the gall bladder, is an ultrasound to be done for that? Also, any solution for Antral Gastritis?

 

[MyNameIsJeff]

Antral gastritis is concerning. That's an autoimmune disorder (genetic). It is neither genetic nor necessarily an autoimmune disorder

Fat in his stool means there's a malabsorption issue. Yes, intenstinal malabsorption as consistent with IBD and other non-liver/gallbladder-related conditions. Even the pancreas would be a better bet My thought process is fats -> Bile -> Gallbladder/Liver. Liver was normal on the studies, no mention of the gallbladder. Was there blood work done (CBC)? Chronically low blood pressure, i'd want to check a hormone panel. See his cortisol levels, adrenals, androgen, ACTH, T3/T4, TSH, anything that would contribute to blood pressure.Obviously those would be affected by malnutrition. Rather than band-aid with say thyroid medication, the underlying malnutrition should be the focus.

It's not about what I THINK works you idiot. It is about what the scientific evidence says. We know both from theory and empirical evidence that homeopathy cannot work and does not work :banghead: Similarly absurd approaches from the area of alternative medicine likewise have 0 empirical or theoretical evidence to support their efficacy.

Even if we assume that traditional medicine has failed here (rather than the problem being incompetent doctors and/or treatment non-compliance), the answer is not to go to something that cannot work. Instead, re-diagnose, focus on treatment-compliance and try experimental medication like BPC157 (Which have at least some logic and scientific evidence behind them)

Right, i'm the idiot. Your solution is to re-diagnose and use BPC, sounds like a solid plan. Go with that.

Yes, stick to that which at least has a chance of working.

I still believe that rather than to spend money on additional tests of questionable value that are hard to interpret, you should spend it on private consults.

I assume you're in the UK. There are specialist centers for gastroenterology where the doctors are experts in their field and which can give you the state of the art (non-standard) treatments. See for example: https://www.gastrolondon.co.uk/contact/#!/
