2549: AMPS, Peri-Menopause Belly Fat, Salicylates & Deficiencies, Fever & Antibiotics, C-Section & Ulcers (HouseCall)

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!

This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!

Check out today's questions:

Crystal: Hello! My question for you is about my 13 year old daughter. She has had trouble with her body for 3 years now. She used to be a flexible, active, normal kid. In 12/2018 she got very sick with something similar to mono. Fever, lots of mouth sores for about a week, and then super tired for over a month then constant cold sores for 5 months. 01/2020 she started having constant lower back pain and her back seems to be locked up. She can't even reach her knees. She has seen lots of doctors with almost no answers. She was diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis. But it is not what is causing her problems. She did the big 5 but there weren't any obvious answers. We are now looking at an AMPS diagnosis. Can you give any direction on healing/fixing AMPS? Thanks for all you do!

Samantha: Hi doctor Cabral! Is (peri) menopause belly something we can get rid of, or is it just something we'll have to live with for the rest of our lives? I'm a very healthy and active, in late 40s and noticing that my belly fat is increasing more and more. I wear CGM, have normal sugar, fast for 16 hours daily and lift weights 5 times a week.. still nothing helps. I don't have to measure my female hormones to know that they are declining, because that's inevitable with age. I would love to hear your thoughts about this. Thanks a million!

Anonymous: I wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the knowledge you share this us! It has truly changed my life. A few weeks ago, i was down to like 5 foods. I reacted to everything including multivitamins, L- glutamine, herbs, even the DNS shake. I was starting to lose hope until I realized that most of my issues with salicylates and histamines could be partly due to nutrient deficiencies. I started taking the equilife multivitamin pills and that same day, I was able to have a smoothie with all the herbs, veggies and fruits that I had missed so much because I couldn't have salicylates! I can now also use L-glutamine without getting depressive symptoms, so I am using it to heal my gut lining which is really damaged. Feel hopeful once again! Thank you so much for everything!

Angela: My twin boys & I all came down with a flu. We are going on 8 days now with fevers around 101-103 degrees on average (t got as high as maybe 105/106 w/1 child). I took them to see the doctor who knows that antibiotics are a last resort for us. The doctor was ok with waiting until this Saturday (7 days into the symptoms), so when we were still spiking a fever on Saturday I bit the bullet & had us start on antibiotics. The doctor says that anything over 100.4 is considered a fever high enough for antibiotics. I thought I heard you say that for your kids you don't really do much until they hit above 104 degrees. Is that right? Also now that we are on the antibiotics what can we do afterwards to help our gut? I was in the middle of my last month of CBO. Do you suggest I start over?

Megan: Hi! I've been struggling after the birth of my second son. It was my second C-section in 14 months and my body was wrecked. I have a vaginal yeast infection I can not get rid of as well as stomach ulcers from taking too much ibprophen and Tylenol… I'm at a loss on what to do and if I should continue taking Pepcid two times a day. I've been drinking aloe water that I juice. How do I go about this and what's going on?
