Okay, so is there anything else I'm supposed to tell you? I guess is it. I'm just gonna get going to do a little backstory here. For those of you who don't know, and bring you into it? A number of years ago now. We were in a movie. We were seeing the Joker. So that was October of Hold on a second. The Joker. October when the heck was it in the theater? We just get some water here. I guess 2019 When was when was the Joker released? Yeah, it was that was released in in October 2019. Okay, so my family is in a movie theater in October of 2019. That makes Arden I don't know, she was born in 2004. So 2014 is 10 makes her like 15 years old. The movie is just about the end. We're getting to the you know the end of it here where the big act comes? I think they're at the there's the scene where they're at the what was it like the Johnny Carson rip off thing if you haven't seen Laurie? I mean, go see the movie. And art is on my left. And she just turns to me and she goes, What is this? And I look at her and her nose is bleeding. Like I mean, I thought she got punched in the face, blood pouring out of her nose. So we take her out, get her into the bathroom. get her cleaned up. It's like a crime scene. Kelly says she comes out and then moving forward. Almost like clockwork, once a month. Arden gets a nosebleed every month. It was just crazy. Soon after she starts breaking out acne and we take her to a dermatologist they try you know whatever the first thing is they try doesn't work. Second thing doesn't work. Third thing doesn't work now we're basically pouring like, you know, prescription acid on her face or whatever. I don't even know what it was not working. She's absolutely so careful about washing her face and caring for it the way she should. Nothing's helping. And then she gets her period
and it begins to lengthen. I should I shouldn't say she gets her period she was getting her period already. But her period begins to lengthen. You know, having said that, I don't know. Anyway. 15 Yeah, I think she had her period already. Anyway, it was the beginning of her period. And they last sometimes 11 days, right? Like, she just bleeds for 11 days. And then she gets a break in between half a day, it felt like what it was like two or three days, and then her period would come back again. So she almost had her period constantly. This led to a very low iron situation. As you may imagine, we had to get Arden iron infusions, got her pumped back up again. Then her iron dropped again, because the periods like we just kept thinking like this'll stop, right? But it didn't. And I think we got her another infusion brought it back up again. And I remember my wife and I talking and saying, Look, we can't just let this fall again, it's killing her like she's so drained. By the time we get her to a place where the insurance company will give her this iron infusion. So we need to get ahead of it. We have to fix her periods, and we didn't know what to do. So we started her on a birth control pill. Well, that seemed to work. And not the first one. The first one they gave her was like a low low estrogen that didn't touch her. Then they gave her low estrogen then that seemed to work. And then the company stopped making that pill. So it went to a generic and the generic didn't work for her. So then the bleeding started again, and I swear to you, the nosebleed without the pill comes back every time every time you stopped the pill. Arden's nosebleeds one time a month, it was bizarre. So we're doing everything, testing her for everything you can think of PCOS. I mean, everything. Dr. Benito, from the thyroid episode is helping her running all kinds of tests trying to figure things out. And this goes on a while we finally get her on a pill that stops the bleeding. But then Arden loses her. Her taste for food, like she would be hungry. But she couldn't stomach the idea of eating, she would also get into a position where she couldn't take the idea of eating meat. So it went anywhere from like, I can't eat meat, it makes me feel disgusted to I'm hungry, but I don't know what I want and nothing sounds good. Then if you took her off the pill, she could eat again. Just like that. But of course, then the nose bled and the periods and blah, blah, blah. So art and fought through a number of different a number of different birth control pills. And she came to us one day, about six months ago, and she said, I don't care if I bleed to death. I'm not taking these birth control pills anymore. You know, she'd gained weight. She didn't like the way she felt on them. She still couldn't, you know, she had no flavor for food she couldn't really eat or stomach hurt all the time, etc, etc. We didn't know what was going on. And we're kind of at a loss. You know what to do. At the same time, Arden's fighting with her stomach hurting sometimes a little sometimes a lot, but she would always describe it as my stomach always hurts. It always always hurts. It just was a fact of life. Sometimes it would get worse she'd actually have Kelly pushed like think right below her sternum, I guess right up top there where your stomach is, I guess by you're below your ribcage I'm thinking and she pushed really really hard and it would kind of while you were pushing it would take the pain away. It was really terrible. Again, doctors testing for everything. Does she have celiac? No she does and does she have this? No, she doesn't bother. I mean just everything you can think of we tested for and finally my wife says like I think we have to get it like an endoscopy like I think that's what it's called right to look down her look, you know, get get a look inside of her stomach. But a few weeks before so we set the endoscopy up endoscopy and I think that's what it's called. Sorry. I'm like now getting stuck on the easiest thing and you're like, Yes, God is calling it a Scobie. Stop googling. Yeah, endoscopy. Sorry. So she.
We set that up and it takes a few weeks to get to the doctor. Actually, that's wrong. We set that up, show up at the doctor. The doctor, we're supposed to go to the room Everyone tells us to go to we get there and the guy says his staff says she's not 18 We don't see minors, but they took the appointment. And I was angry. And I feel bad about how I did not handle it well in the office because it pushed it back another six weeks. And she was just in so much pain. It was hard to see. So we pushed it back six more weeks. We got the appointment. And in that time, Dr. BENITO said to Arden I want you to try something In called a VAs atoll. So it's an over the counter supplement. This was for hormonal problems, what would basically what Dr. BENITO had gotten down to is that we had tested for everything. Nothing came back as an obvious problem. And Dr. Medina said, I think this is hormonal. I want you to try this avasta tall and if that doesn't work, she wanted us to give it three months. She said if it doesn't work in three months, I think we have to start talking about putting Arden on Metformin. Because this could be an insulin resistance. You know, we're hormonal and insulin just I don't know. Listen. By now I'm dizzy. It's 2022 We're at this 2019 October 2020. October to 2021 October into and now it's October 2022. When I'm recording this and we only got this all figured out back in July, July August September I four months ago, right so it was damn near. It was like three years it was terrible. This whole time Arden's in pain or stomach hurts can eat. Everything's horrible also, by the way, coming along with her stomach hurting and not eating Arden is incredibly constipated. She is not going to the bathroom very frequently at all. Okay, so artist starts taking of acetone in it felt like no time at all. We got up to her period like a couple of weeks after she started to see you take this Avast atoll and you dilute it or dissolve it excuse me in a drink aren't just takes it and water. Doctor says to start with like two scoops. We do two scoops. Supposed to take it sort of earlier in the day, because it can kind of give you energy too. And you don't want to take it at night because some people report that it keeps you awake from what Dr. BENITO said. So, two scoops and it gave Arden diarrhea. So we were like, Okay, that's too much. So we went back to like, one scoop. I think I think that's how we did it. Diaries thought and Arden is drinking it every day drinking it every day drinking every day. And then suddenly, it's time for her period. And the period comes and it's wonky still because she's been off the period off the birth control pills. So we think well, let's let it go to another period, and we'll see what happens. But by the second period on a basketball, so I don't know six weeks, maybe eight weeks. She gets a period and it's a much more reasonable length. It still wasn't as short as you would expect it to but it was more like seven days ish, I believe. And then it ended. And then it did not start again. And we were like holy heck, this is amazing. Also, by the way, Arden's nose has not bled since she's been taking this. Get the hell out of here, right. That's what I thought too. So she keeps taking it, keep taking it. And we try to think about it. Just just do it right. It's impacting her periods. Well, it's impacting the nosebleed thing. Her acne seems to be lessening, but it is not changing her bowel habits, and it is not changing her stomach pain, which I have to admit everyone in the house was hoping would happen. But since it didn't, we went to the gut doctor I forgot what they're called to do this thing that we're supposed to do right get this endoscopy actually, I'm sorry to do this but this episode of The Juicebox Podcast is brought to you today by us met us med is the number one distributor for FreeStyle Libre systems nationwide.

Like, I feel like you're actually listening to me instead of just me recording it. Anyway, we go to the doctor so the doctor can look down Arden's throat and look around her stomach. She's told not to eat, I think after midnight she has a salad like around eight o'clock. So you're gonna hear me clear my throat and everything because I am not editing this. So she has a salad around eight o'clock. We get up early in the morning, head into the place super early in the morning, she goes back and the doctor comes out. We talked about this in Origins episode a little bit and you've heard about in a couple of other places in the podcast if you're if you're listen to all the episodes, which you should. Doctor comes out, he looks at us and he goes, Arden has gastroparesis. And we're like, whoa, wait, why? Because you know, to a person with diabetes, the word gastro precice sounds like nerve damage from uncontrolled blood sugars that blah, blah, blah. And we're trying to talk we're like feeling it out with them and like, What do you mean? Like, I don't know how that's possible. I didn't say once he is insanely good. It has been forever. I've interviewed people who have gastroparesis, and none of Arden's digestion works that way. Like, you know, I don't notice anything crazy. Yes, over the last couple of months, she's been a little more like, you know, resistant to insulin over meals, but my God, like it's not like people describe. And then he explains to us that the word gastro precess it's just sort of like a, it's a catch all word for him. I'm gonna look it up for you right now. So he's a gastroenterologist, and when he comes across people who have any kind of slow digestion that's called gastroparesis to him. So, hold on a second. So we're like, Okay, so that's just a word you use? And he said, Yeah, we just mean slow digestion. So I said, for the love of God, please just say slow digestion, if you please, it's freaking me out. Anyway. He wants Arden to go on a gastro precice diet, which was, to my best of my recollection, like no raw foods, nothing was skin on it, you know, like, you know, you couldn't have like a green pepper for example. He didn't want her eating meats. Like it was a completely very restrictive diet. And he said, you know, Arden also has gastritis she has inflammation in her stomach, and he went in there, he saw there's still some lettuce from the night before and he said everything was swollen, and you know, inflamed. She has gastritis, which is another catch all word. So we're like, okay, so you kind of shake off the What the hell tell Arden artists, of course, the jected because she can't eat anything. But she does it. She goes on this, this very restrictive diet. But I start calling Jenny, Jenny and I are having private conversations. Jenny's like Arden doesn't have gastroparesis. I'm like, I don't think she does either. And we're having that kind of conversation behind the scenes. And I'm like, it just sounds like her stomach is inflamed. And because of that her, her digestion is not working properly, which is also I think, making her constipated. So Okay, fair enough. Let's do what the doctor said. And I want to point out, the doctor pushed a number of different medications on Norden, for pain for other stuff. And we were like, This is weird. We're not like, we don't want to give Arden this medication. He wanted us to go do a gastric emptying study, which the hospital told us like, definitely make sure your insurance covers this before you do this study, because it's incredibly expensive. We're gonna like I'm saying I don't think this is necessary. Jenny told me. She didn't think it was necessary. My wife was worried she wanted to do it.
At origin stays on this diet for 567 days, a week rolls around. And she looks at me and she goes, I don't care about this diet. I want to go to five guys today. I want a cheeseburger. I want a milkshake. And I want french fries. And I was like, I don't know how to tell her no, because this diet does not appear to be impacting her at all. Not that I think a week was long enough to really know. But it just it wasn't. It didn't give any indication that it was getting better and it was hard for her to deal with. So I kind of scrambled in my mind and I had been looking at other things. And it occurred to me that I wanted Arden to try a digestive enzyme so I had already ordered them. But they hadn't arrived yet. Now I went online and ordered them from pure It was pure encapsulations digestive enzymes Ultra. I had ordered them but they hadn't arrived. But Arden wasn't waiting for this cheeseburger for these things to show up. So I said okay, look. Absolutely. You're gonna have this cheeseburger and this milkshake, but we're gonna stop at the health food store and get you some sort of a digestive enzyme. You're gonna take it along with that meal. And she's like, whatever I want this food. Before I move on, I want to indicate to you too that Arden did not ever have any vomiting. Just nausea, stomach pain, constipation. So we stop at our local health food store. There's a lot of pressure by the way not to stop talking, we stopped at our local health food store. When in spite, I spoke to a lovely woman Arden sat in the car, she was having no part of this. She's like, Whatever, I'll take the pills because you want me to but I'm not into this. And this lovely woman gives me something called Super designs, which is just the I have it here with me. And it's just the health food stores brand, right? It's just I don't know, Black Forest acres in New Jersey. In this beta time, hydrochloride pepsin, one to 10,000 broma line 2400 GDU G's, pap pain and F. Ox bile extract, which we all agreed not to tell Arden about ox bile extract, pink pancreatin USP eight times which and amylase 100,000 USP units, protease 100,000 USP units, lupus 22,000 USP units now I mean, obviously, I don't know the first thing about this, right? I'm just, I did some reading. And I thought there's probably something we could do to help the digestion a little bit. Maybe if we could get the food to get through her stomach quicker, then the gastritis would die down. And she'll go to the bathroom like this is what I was thinking it's worth trying, right. So I bought these gave her two of these, the woman said take two with like a fatty meal or something like that and take one with a regular meal, whatever was all very, a little hippie dippie. But we're like whatever role we're in, right? So Arden pops two of these sheets, cheeseburger sheets, a milkshake cheats french fries, and her blood sugar does not spike the way I would have expected it to even a week before had she had this. I was like huh, like no big spike, no crazy drawn out, like impact from the food. And I was just a well, this had to have done something like look how well this work because artists blood sugar was getting difficult around meals. So then the next day, I'm like, Did you poop? And she's like, I don't want to talk about going to the bathroom with you. And I was like, okay, but did you poop? And you know, no, I didn't. Oh my god. So day later, she still was kind of constipated. Nothing was happening on that end. And I was forcing the enzymes on her. Every time she ate forcing. I meant like, what I mean by that is every time she ate, I was like, Hey, I'd slide them across the table at her. And she'd look at me like you, mother. Alright, I'll take them but I don't want to, you know, and I was real diligent about it. Every time she ate every meal, enzymes stopped restricting your diet, just use the enzymes. So about a week later, I hit her again. You know, how's things going? She's like, Oh, you know, not bad. But I'm still not going to the bathroom. Really? All right. Okay. So we go back to the health food store and this time I tell her want you to come in with me speak the lady. She's lovely. You know, your stomach's not hurting as much so it is doing something I can see your blood sugar's better at meals. You know, let's go pick this lady's brain some more. So we go in, say hi to her, tell her everything that's going on. And she hands me these.
This is just I think just an affordable version of this. But she said, I want you to take magnesium oxide, not any other type of magnesium but magnesium oxide, she hands me these the ones I'm holding her from TwinLab 420 milligrams. And she's like, take one of these a day. In the evening. You're gonna go to the bathroom. And Arden's like, whatever. And she's like here take these probiotics too. And she just gives me these. They're not anything special. I don't think PB eight probiotic eight strains of beneficial bacteria supportive digestive health, 14 billion active culture. She's like, you know, take these, see what happens. So now, here's the thing you don't know is that the pure digestive enzyme showed up at the house a couple of days after we got the super designs from the local health food store. And I thought I'll do this with Arden right. So I just started taking the approach because art and I have similar like systems, as far as digestion goes, and in complete candor, there are things I can't eat, they just hurt my stomach and I do not go to the bathroom regularly. Like the way I would want to I did start taking fiber some years ago, which I've talked about in the podcast, which regulated my bathroom habits. But still it wasn't. It's not like a perfect system. It just felt like it was a I don't know. It felt like it was a patch. It wasn't helping. There's still things I knew if I ate I'd feel sick and stuff like that Wally greasy stuff, some other things that I just couldn't do well, with a lot of heartburn I would have. And, and anyway, so I thought I can't hurt, right? It's just the digestive enzyme. So I start popping one of these pures every time I eat. And I have to tell you, I don't have to take the fiber anymore. Crazy, right? And now I can eat things that have a little more grease in them once in a while without my stomach getting upset. So I'm doing it along with her. I'm like, What the hell? You know what I mean? I might as well do it, I start taking the probiotic. I even think I take the magnesium. I do actually. So I'm like, I'm gonna do what she's doing. figured she needs somebody to you know, she's already taken the Avasta tall everyday drinking it, which she does not at all bulk about anymore because she's because it works. Because she sees that her period is regulated. She doesn't have to take that freakin birth control pill anymore. So now getting her to take this is no big deal. Similarly, we're at the health food store that day, you know, fast forward back to going into pick up the magnesium and the probiotic Arden's now excited, not you know excited, as excited as she gets, she's happy to do this, I should say, I'm no longer having to tell her, Hey, take an enzyme and a meal. As a matter of fact, we were leaving one day, she and Kelly were going out. They were going to go shopping, and then pick up lunch. And they got in the car. And they were leaving the house and Arden told Kelly Hey, stop, I gotta go back inside. And she went back inside to get the enzyme, the digestive enzyme. She said I can't go without this. And that's when we knew this is some, you know, big doings. It's this is working. So anyway, Arden starts with magnesium. The next day, I'm like, How'd it go, I don't want to talk about my bathroom habits, blah, blah, blah, poop and etc. But I did poop today. So she adds the magnesium to go to the bathroom, the probiotic to help just with her overall gut health, and these super designs or digestive enzymes at a meal. And she does not miss them now. And she's been off to college now for three weeks. And I talked to her every day. And she's like, I do not miss this stuff. I take what I'm supposed to take, because it helps. So anyway, she came on the podcast and number a couple of weeks ago now right before she left for college. And we talked a little bit about this stuff. But not much it was kind of in passing. And the amount of people that I've heard about her heard from, like both online and through emails was so great that I thought I have to do this episode and talk about this stuff. Because it's just it's so many people are reaching out and saying my kids stomach hurts all the time. Or my stomach hurts all the time, or my hormones are messed up. What's that stuff you were talking about? So I have no relationship with these companies. Although let me just tell you right now, I'd happily do an ad for any of these companies. But I have not right. So. on their Facebook group, specifically, there's just so many posts about like, Hey, can you help me? What was Scott talking about the other day on the episode. So this is what we're talking about. So here it is for all of you, if you're having trouble with digestion,
if you're having trouble with constipation, if you're having trouble with your stomach in any way, this stuff is not that expensive. And it's worth trying. I just got a note today from somebody like literally tonight. And she said, Hey, I tried the digestive enzymes with my kid. And it was like we had too much insulin for the meal. It couldn't work that fast, could it? And I responded back and I said listen, I'm not a doctor. I don't know what the hell I'm talking about. But I gave these to Arden for a milkshake french fries, and a cheeseburger and I had to use less insulin than I thought I was going to so I mean this is something you might see a quick turnaround on and at least you'll know you know pretty pretty quickly if it's valuable for you or if it's not that's pretty much it. So let me go over it again. It's Oh Vassa tall of asset tall actually contacted the company a couple times to see if I could get one of their doctors on they're not getting back to me. But a thorough logics if you hear this, I'd love to talk to somebody about whatever the hell this is. Oh VAs it all ova s i t o l we get it on Amazon. It is not cheap. But it is not expensive. It has an Myo inositol m y Oh dash INOSIT o l 2000 milligrams per packet it says are scoop and D keuro. In set all d c h I r O dash ion Osito l 50 milligrams. I'm telling you right now no nosebleeds. Periods are regulated. Acne is going away. There are there are reviews online reviews that I read of it before we got it for Arden where people were talking about being I mean in fertile like not being able to get pregnant and taking this for a couple of months and boom, knocked up pregnant, so I don't know what it does. I mean, on the front it says supports healthy insulin levels. And there's a little little asterisk next to that I'll find out the asterisk means promotes healthy ovarian function and egg quality supports hormone health, independently content certified by NSF International. It looks like it is dye free gluten free vegan BPA free canister. Women trying to conceive should take of acetone along with a preconception vitamins such as thorough needle core or Oh vite looks like this little pigment for their own stuff here. The Asterix says these statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Well, that's fair, but I'm gonna tell you right now helped my daughter a ton. The digestive enzyme I'm taking pure encapsulations digestive enzymes Ultra has a bunch of stuff in it. It's available on on Amazon. It's in a white bottle with a blue label, pure encapsulations as the company Arden is taking something called Super designs just from our local health food store. I'm sure you have a local health food store too. I read you the ingredients earlier. Absolutely amazing. I bought I went back and bought three of them and sent them to school with her. The probiotic is PB eight probiotic 14 billion active cultures. And the magnesium oxide which was handed to us by the lovely lady at the place at the health stores made by twin lab, I don't know that you absolutely have to have a twin lab, magnesium oxide. But again, these are 420 milligrams. I don't know it's worth a shot. So I wish you a ton of success. This can't be fun. I watched art and struggle with it. It was horrible. I felt bad every day, she felt bad every day, we were starting to get caught in the situation where we thought this is it. She's just gonna have our stomachs gonna hurt. And our nose is gonna bleed and our periods are gonna last forever. And she's gonna have to get iron infusions, because she believed so much. And it was just sad. It really was. If any of this helps you. That's terrific. I'm trying to find people who understand this stuff better than me to come on the podcast, but I haven't had much luck so far. So I thought I would just sit down and tell you what we did. And what led us to try. That's pretty much it. I appreciate you listening very much.
