Hi Friends,

I hope you are doing well. I am hoping one of you can resonate to my symptoms and help me find out what it is.

I was a normal person may be 6 months back. During March’16, I started having feet pain which kept progressing worse each day. I first though it was due my high arches and didn’t pay much attention for the first 3 months.

Then during the July 4th long weekend, suddenly one night I started having pins and needles throughout my body. I was super scared at this point. I went to my primary care doctor who recommended me to a neurologist.

My neurologist ran some blood work, did MRI and EMG. Everything was normal except for my elevated CRP and ESR. In the meantime, I started getting these wired tiny red bumps in my fingers, lot of pins and needles in my finger tips (as well as body). The tiny red bumps in my fingers would appear and disappear in a day or two. Then again they would appear in some other finger after two days.

Since my Neuro could not find out what is going on, he suggested taking medication for pain management. As I wanted to get to the bottom of the problem, I met with a functional medicine doctor and we ran some basic stool tests to check for dysbiosis, SIBO breath test, adrenal tests etc.

I tested positive for H Pylori and SIBO. Has anyone here in the forum, have similar symptoms? Could SIBO or H Pylori cause my symptoms or is it something else? Any help would be appreciated.

Best,
Priya
