Dr. Anna Yoder has worked with me and is very knowledgeable with the latest treatments for COVID Vaccine Injury and Long COVID symptoms. I had all the symptoms listed on their main page along with major food digestion issues. Look at all the symptoms listed. They also have the FLCCC information that contains a lot of helpful information to treat your symptoms.
I had the second Moderna booster vaccine, 2/21/21. After 12 hours from the time I had the shot, I felt my body shut down and I couldn't move. I thought I was dying. I was paralyzed for 6-8 hours and woke up in a big sweat. I was so weak and needed help walking, going to the bathroom and eating. I struggled to have strength for 2 weeks after the shot and never felt the same since then. I didn't realize till now that the vaccine was taking hold of my body until my body literally failed me in 2022. Every time I worked out at the gym or played PB with friends, I felt weaker than the time before. I kept getting injured. I had weird muscle issues with my body. Nothing made sense, nothing!! I was a mystery to all the doctors as well, especially at the beginning and if I said the "CXXXX" swear word, I definitely did not get the help I thought I was going to get. I learned to finesse my words in the best way possible with the help of my husband since my brain wasn't working great. I SERIOUSLY just wanted to feel better and get back to life.
I finally went to urgent care in March 2023 when my heart felt like it was beating out of my chest after running (tachycardia) and then my HR went very low (sinus bradycardia). It was a struggle but they were able to complete an EKG and refer me to a cardiologist. The cardiologist then referred me to an electrophysiologist because he thought I might need a pacemaker since my heart was not responding to the tests he had me do. Prayers were answered and I passed the stress test. My heart rate went above 80 BPM. I went to a second opinion electrophysiologist who recommended 120 oz of fluid daily, electrolytes and magnesium to clear my heart of anything. Literally peeing every 20 min and so uncomfortable with stomach issues if I ate the wrong foods. Worst 2-3 months in the summer trying to be a good mom for my kids. My f/up with an electrophysiologist recommended an endocrinologist. The Endocrinologist didn't know why the last specialist sent me to him but drew blood and everything came back normal.
In a nutshell, I went to a lot of specialist appointments for a year and a half, blood work always showed up normal and never got answers so I did a ton of research while waiting and tried to heal myself. I was SO grateful for another answered prayer because I found the right doctors at Telehealth. I had done a Google search and found different doctors all over the states and country. Mark had found a doctor team in Australia and Great Britain that were coming out with break through studies, research and medicine. I didn't have the time or money to be able to do this so I was grateful when I stumbled upon Dr. Yoder at Telehealth. Jody Mittiga has also helped to treat me. I am not getting paid to advertise. I'm simply getting this information out there in case there is someone like me who was desperately looking for the right holistic doctor that knew how to treat what I was suffering from.
Before- Major symptoms began March 2022 Present- big improvements began Nov 2024
You can do a simple symptom tracker if that helps you like this one. It doesn't have to be fancy.
Road to Healing Foods
Dr. Mark Pimentel and Dr. Ali Rezaie are at the forefront of SIBO/IBS and microbiome research. As pioneers and creators of Low Fermentation Eating (LFE), their innovative treatment and protocol has changed the lives of countless SIBO/IBS sufferers around the world.
Gut Healing Foods:
Vitamins:
Calcium: 1,000 mg-31-50 years; 1,200 mg-51+; Foods: rice milk, cheese, yogurt, milk, salmon, leafy greens - collard, spinach, kale
Vit D-600 IU, Folic Acid(B9)-400 mg, Potassium-2,600 mg-19+; Sodium-1,500 mg; Magnesium-320 mg-31-70+; Iron-18 mg-31-50; Thiamine (B1)-1.1 mg daily; Omega 3’s-1.1-1.6 grams for heart health: vegetable oils, nuts (especially walnuts), flax seeds, flaxseed oil, and leafy vegetables, fish: 4-5 ounces of Atlantic salmon provide 3 grams of omega-3 fatty acids.
Thiamine: liquid chromatography-TDP-Erythrocyte Transketolase tests - pork, fish, green peas, sunflower seeds, yogurt
Meal Timing - Autophagy works!
Aside from diet, the second piece of the plan involves the timing between meals. Your gut is designed to naturally produce cleaning waves, however these waves can be disrupted.We cannot emphasize enough the importance of keeping the gastrointestinal tract’s cleaning waves intact on a regular basis. These housekeeping waves do not occur until you are fasting. The feeding phase of digestion ends within one to three hours of eating, and then the housekeeping waves start. Based on this time frame, we recommend waiting four to five hours between each meal and absolutely no snacking between. That will give you at least one or two sets of housekeeping waves between each meal.
A Less Restrictive, Nutritionally-Sustainable Approach
Over time, overly restrictive diets (like Low FODMAP) can cause your microbiome to become less diverse and can change your microbiome nutrient intake. Patients following more restrictive diets often experience a decrease in retinol, thiamin, riboflavin, and calcium. While these more restrictive diets may improve SIBO & IBS symptoms in the short-term, it is not advised to follow these restrictions longer than approximately three months or patients may experience malnourishment.
The goal of Low Fermentation Eating is to reduce or eliminate symptoms of SIBO or IBS and allow anyone struggling with one of these GI disorders to live a full life that includes delicious, nutritious foods and freedom from their gut health issues. Foods allowed on the Low Fermentation Eating diet are much broader, even including ingredients like onion and garlic, in moderation. The Low Fermentation Eating diet is easy-to-follow, completely nutritionally sustainable, and allows patients to return to eating that feels normal and not overly restrictive.
Restrict foods that contain high levels of carbohydrates or ingredients that humans cannot digest and therefore become digested by bacteria and space meals four to five hours apart to allow for the gut's cleaning waves.
Avoid all non-absorbable sugars, such as sucralose, sorbitol, lactitol, xylitol, mannitol and even stevia. Humans cannot digest these artificial sweeteners and therefore 100 percent of their calories are available for bacteria to digest, allowing the bacteria to thrive and overpopulate in your gut. Additional problematic foods include high-fiber foods and foods high in inulin. You should also limit or eliminate high-residue foods. High residue foods are foods that are difficult to digest and leave a residue in your gastrointestinal tract. These foods include lentils, peas, soy products, milk and other dairy products such as yogurt and cheese.
