I already knew I had lichen sclerosus, an autoimmune disease. I had been seeing a nutritionist for some time, but my symptoms kept getting worse, and my current nutritionist didn’t have the means to help me anymore. I was feeling overwhelmed and scared.
On my first visit with Heidi, she listened to me describe all my symptoms and realized something didn’t add up. She immediately ordered a stool sampling kit and discovered I had H. pylori, a bacterium that can cause inflammation and leaky gut. No other doctor had ever tested for that. I had been treated for the symptoms I described to Heidi, but medical doctors don’t look for the cause. Therefore I was treated incorrectly for 14 years!
Heidi got to the source of my problem and we began treatment from there. It seems like such a novel idea, but it’s working and I’m seeing some great changes in my life because of Heidi’s suggestions.
