Australian doctors told not to prescribe homeopathic items as 'they do nothing'

You're not going to change my mind, sorry buddy. you're a random person on the Internet, while I have actual tangible results from accredited people. Why don't you try to diagnose the situation and see if there had been a better alternative. Here's my story:

I went from a year of waking up vomiting 5 days a week, along with several episodes of not eating for 4-7 days at a time. Beyond nausea my symptoms also included the development of migraines, depression, and anxiety. I saw Nuerologists, ENTs, my general care physician, and a GI specialist. I had MRIs, blood tests, took nuerologist ordered vitamins. Got prescribed an antidepressant. Nothing was working. Now two years in, Easter 2015 specifically, I finally tested positive for something. Small intestine bacterial overgrowth. My GI prescribed an antibiotic. I was on it for three weeks. Two weeks after the end of the antibiotic, I felt no different. Still vomiting, still can't smell food let alone eat it. Mood swings crazy all the time. So we decide to consult my chirp, whose had a decent amount of success with cases similar to mine.

I can go get the bottles if you're really curious what's in the natural supplements I took for 3 weeks from him. They come down to herbs and spices that you'd use on your food. If I recall correctly, I think fucking oregano was in one of them. The intent was a daily regime of killing ALL stomach bacteria, good and bad. Then at night, I follow up with a supplement to replenish the good bacteria. I start feeling some positive results within days and I also start eating again. About a meal a day. Smells don't seem to be bothering so much but still some. Lastly my mental attitude and overall outlook seem to be doing at least a little better. Fast forward to the end of the supplemental regime, 3 weeks...to today. I'm currently eating 3 meals a day, finally shitting regularly, smells don't make me want to vomit ever anymore, I wake up with a pep in my step, and no longer do I have to go to sleep in the fetal position because that's the only way I could sleep without pain.

So...diagnose me doc.

TLDR: my first comment tried to be polite but I'm over that now. fuck what you think you've read. I just lived this shit for the last two years of my LIFE. Every god damn day. In the end, I don't give a shit if you support/practice homeopathy or modern medicine. It's not about your fucking ideals. It's about the health of the patient. Your little comment isn't going to change my mind about what actually got rid of my bacterial overgrowth.
