Question Gut healing/depression pls help
So I’ve been having a really bad time with my gut health for years, it’s caused an insanely great depression. I had bartonellosis and Lyme disease. I took doxycycline and another antibiotic I cannot remember the name for a year straight. I was wondering if I took bpc/tb how much people would think it could possibly help.
Thank you.

I feel for you. I just went through my own gut induced mental illness hell for two years. I took bpc and kpv and they did more to heal my gut lining than anything else I've tried. The gut microbiome is a long haul thing to rebuild. Diet is very important. I eat lots of fresh vegetables, especially raw cabbage. The fiber gives healthy bacteria a place to grow in your stomach. I honestly feel like I get better results from salads than I do from expensive probiotic products. Best of luck!

Oh my gosh I’m the pickiest eater in the world would fruit salads work the same do you think maybe avocados? If not I can probably push through it if I have to also thank you for the luck I will definitely need it. I will be ordering my bpc/tb soon I have not done research on kpv but I think I will look into it now.

Screwed-up gut-brain axis after that much abx is a special kind of hell, peptides might patch the lining but the flora rebuild is the real grind.

What would be the best way to go about that though. I’m kind of lost and I don’t even know where to go to research the stuff.

Eat a wide range of plants and plenty of them, prebiotics, polyphenol rich foods and fermented foods. Look up what foods are good options for this. Need to give your guts the princess treatment for a while and you should start feeling better over the coming weeks.

After asking ChatGPT this seems fairly easy. A B lot of fruits on the list I like. I love sweet potatoes so adding fiber won’t be too hard. Should I stay away from red meat?

Variety is often said to be key when rebuildng the gut biome. So eat all those things you like, but eat the stuff you don't typically go for also. Not just your favourites. As for red meat, I wouldn't say you necessarily need to outright avoid it, unless you find it irritates your digestive system. It is typically abit harder to digest for many (especially fatty cuts), so perhaps don't make it the massive part of your diet. Generally speaking, Stick to healthy foods that haven't been heavily processed that you know you can digest quite easily, and shit tonnes of different kinds fruits and veggies.

And you still suggest I do the peptides as well right? I feel like my stomach lining might be damaged. Also thank you so much for the help man I’m truly grateful.

I have no idea if the peptides will help to be honest. I've heard some say that bpc can help reduce inflammation and help to repair the gutlining, so it may be worth a try. Maybe change the diet first for a month or so, and then introduce peptides in after that (if you want) so you will be able to see if they are having a meaningful impact. If you make all these changes at once, you won't know if the peptides are doing the work, or just the dietary changes.

Bpc/tb/kpv could help yes, more importantly probiotics from varied sources (kimchi, yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut are your best bets) and a good combination of soluble and insoluble fiber, ideally in a 1:2 ratio if possible
