You do not need another protocol. You need to know what is actually wrong with you.
Ten years, a folder of normal results, and a label that just repeats your symptoms back at you.
$19 a month. The first conversation takes about ten minutes.
Recognition
You did not come here with bloating
You came with bloating, gas, brain fog, fatigue, and sleep that repairs nothing. Plus the ones you stopped mentioning:
- The itching. No rash, no allergy anyone can find.
- Red eyes, for no reason.
- Waking at five because your gut woke you.
- The pressure under your left ribs, worse after anything fatty.
- The hour after lunch where you cannot think.
- Coffee that makes you brilliant for twenty minutes and useless for four hours.
- Acne, at thirty.
Any one of those is nothing. Together they are a pattern, and the pattern is what names the system that is failing.
Nobody has ever seen all of them in one place. Including you.
The tests
Normal results are not the same as nothing being wrong
Scopes and blood work rule things out. They are very good at it. Clear means no cancer, no coeliac, no Crohn's.
Normal results next to severe symptoms is where the investigation is supposed to start. For you it is where it stopped.
What you got instead
There are about five tools and you have had all of them
If none of them is aimed at what is actually driving yours, you can take all five and come out worse. Stomach acid is one of the things keeping bacteria out of the small intestine.
Then you get a label. IBS is not a diagnosis. It is the symptoms you walked in with, given a name and handed back.
What you did next
So you tried everything yourself
A $90 stool test that told you that you have dysbiosis, which you knew.
Low FODMAP was built as a six-week test with a reintroduction phase. Nobody tells you about the second half. Stay on it and you react to more foods, not fewer.
Why none of it worked
Three reasons, and none of them is you
Wrong order
You cannot out-supplement a digestion problem.
Four things at once
So nothing could be learned from any of them.
Nobody ever knew your whole case
You have re-told it from the start to every new person, and every one of them heard eight minutes of a fifteen-year problem.
You were not failing to try hard enough.
What this is
No template. It starts with you.
Everything you have, in the order it arrived, everything you have taken, and what happened each time — including the things that worked for two weeks. That is the most useful data you own and nobody has ever asked for it.
Then it narrows. One thing at a time, so each result means something. What gets ruled out stays ruled out, with the reason.
How long that takes, we cannot tell you. Anyone who can is guessing, and you have paid for that guess before.
Bloated every single day for about six years. I've been told it's anxiety three times now. I do have anxiety — but it started after the gut stuff, not before it.
Nobody has ever asked me which came first.
The first conversation
Ten minutes. You talk first.
I've tried everything. Low FODMAP, no dairy, no gluten, probiotics, enzymes. Some of it works for a week or two and then just stops.
The two weeks is the part worth holding on to. When it stops, does it come back gradually or after something specific?
Gradually, I think. I usually assume I did it wrong and move on to the next thing.
No form. Take as long as you want, the messy version is fine.
Then it asks what nobody asked. Your GP had time for four questions.
You get the most likely explanation, how sure it is, what would prove it wrong, and one thing to do.
You will not be better in ten minutes. You will know what to do next.
$19
per month
A functional medicine appointment is $200. A stool panel is $90. Most people spend thousands and still cannot say what is wrong with them.

From the person who built this
Ten years. Gastroscopy clear, CT clear, blood work fine.
I was told to manage my stress, so I did, properly, twice. Both worked on the stress. Neither touched my gut.
I am better now. I am not fixed — I still wake up bloated and I am still tired. I would rather you expect that than expect cured.
What finally worked was not a protocol. It was working out what was actually going on.
Before you start
See a doctor first if you have blood in your stool or black stool, weight coming off without trying, trouble swallowing, severe pain or fever with gut symptoms, or symptoms that wake you from sleep.
Not for under-18s, or anyone being treated for an eating disorder.
