I got test results back from a leaky gut/gut immunity and candida stool and saliva test. Here are the results:

I have very low slgA (gut immunity) and a very high yeast colonization in my mouth. The gut immunity is the main one i'm concerned about and have always suspected. I met with  nutritionist yesterday and she put me on a food plan and gave me a supplement with the mixture of prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes in them and also an iron supplement. I've been on it since yesterday and actually feel a bit worse today so i'm getting worried already. I really want this to work. She seemed confident i could heal my gut in no time though. Is there anyone who's gone through a similar situation that i can talk to or just anyone with some knowledge on this sort of thing?

P.S. Brown rice and carrots are medium/high in oxalates. I do not eat either anymore. I am also gluten free. My daughter has celiac disease, but my results have always come back negative, as well as almost every other test the doctors have run. Long, long story. I could go on for hours!

I'll look into that... thanks for the info!

Going on everyone else suggestion and you mention intermittent fasting. Try a ketogenic diet wit the intermittent fasting, or at least a paleo diet with low carbs, one other thing you might consider is you were fasting...then hit hard with a carb rush....imagine what that did do your insulin and blood sugar that whole drag down crash is probably the rebound from that.

I have a corn allergy...and I have ulcerative colitis that reacts to glucose, fructose carbs, and I notice edema issues with rice. So I adopted a Paleo/keto diet. I eat a bit to many nuts, seeds, nutritional yeast to stay in ketosis but no starches, fruit, grains, or carbs. There is a transition phase called the keto flu, but once there your body no longer uses carbs/sugars for fuel but fats instead, so you have to eat a lot of them. Taking digestive enzymes is a huge help, and sometimes a probiotic is needed to regulate your system.

On your testing where you eating gluten daily? You have to be eating it every day for 12 weeks prior to blood testing. Light exposures will not really show up on the test.

I tried going low carbs before and my electrolytes started going all over the place

Yeah i was eating gluten but not much of it. I don't think i was eating it daily. 

I honestly don't know what's going on with me. I've had health issues going on around 7 years now. I am 21 years old and it has ruined my life so far. My dad is celiac so i thought it was autoimmune i could have. I got the blood test done for that and it came back negative. I've been doing intermittent fasting for the last two weeks and it seems to have been helping but earlier i hit rock bottom. I hadn't eaten anything from around 8pm last night and i broke the fast at around 1:30pm with a big bowl of brown rice and carrot and ever since then i've been feeling really bad. I got fatigued, irritable, sinus issues, face got puffy, eyes puffy, redness on skin. I don't know why this happens to me it's happened many times before too after i eat stuff. Anyways here's a list of my symptoms:

My symptoms aren't all there at the same time, they fluctuate.

My symptom list is as follows:

stingy eyes

puffy eyes

dark circles under eyes

anxiety

heart palpitations

bloating

belly fat (slight) (i'm skinny for my height but i have excess fat in certain places)

breast fat (slight)

Sometimes when my health gets really bad my face starts getting rosacea-like symptoms

puffy face

sinus issues

brain fog

bad short term memory

paleness (especially in hands)

cold hands and feet

loss of collagen in skin

oily skin/hair

bloodshot eyes

flaky skin between eyebrows

fatigue

irritability

lack of sex drive

insomnia

i think my vision is worse when my health is down too, i have bad eyesight anyways so it's hard to tell

flatulence

blackheads/whiteheads on nose

stiff joints
