  • Meet Luke, a talented jazz pianist. He had built a reputation not only for his musical talent, but also for his inspiring story of sobriety, having overcome an alcohol addiction 25 years ago. But then, out of the blue, he got a DUI despite claiming that he hadn’t had a drop of alcohol. Afterwards, he started showing up to the emergency department with obvious signs of alcohol intoxication… still claiming he hadn’t been drinking. So was he lying? Or was something else going on?

      I have one for you. 3 years ago I got sick to my stomach in the morning hours of a string of 12 hours shifts. I thought maybe an undercooked sausage wrap, After a couple days of intractable vomiting, I went to the ER.In the months preceding this, My right leg had swollen substantially but I managed to live and it went down. It was better before I reached the er so it was never considered. They gave me fluid replacement and sent me home with anti-emettics, (Flagyl) some prophylactic antibiotics (Cipro) to recover. After a couple more days I returned to the ER because I was insane, I could not think and worse, I was vomiting medicine as well as failing to hold down even water. With Diabetes, I was in bad shape. I would stop vomiting but I would NEVER recover. I quit a 30 year beer drinking habit because I felt drunk all the time. Over the next 2 years, I was tested for everything from lyme disease to Chagras. My doctor finally noting SFN and Gastroparesis, blamed on my 'uncontrolled" diabetes. (A1C 7.7). I continue to complain , every few month the cycle started again, this time i would end up i with a metabolic syndrome diagnosis, Keto Alkalosis as I would find. Now 3 years in I convinced a cardiologist to really go deep, Still, NOTHING. i BEGGED HIM TO LOOK FURTHER AND A CALCIUM SCORE WOULD FIND 3 BLOCKS IN MY LAD.of 50 to 70 %. Certainly a problem, but not THE problem. . Once my stents were placed, my vomiting began, almost immediately, I would spend the next 5 days taking fluids through an IV and vomiting as my blood pressure screamed 200/100 my glucose, despite not eating 300+.. UNLESS i STOOD UP. uPON STANDING MY BLOOD PRESSURE SLAMMED BACK TO 97/65 AS MY HEARTRATE SPIKEDFOM 75 TO 140 BPM. i AM STILL WAITING TO BE SEEN AS TO WHETHER MY KIDNEYS ARE GONE But i believe I developed PoTs
      What do you think? did I have it all along?

      for five years I had intermittent-but-severe gut pain. For unrelated reasons, I was on a pain contract and took pain meds regularly. When the gut pain started, I first just lay down and waited for the pain to pass, but then it got worse, and worse until I finally had hubby take me to the ER. The ER diagnosed me as being literally full of s**t - the worst case of constipation they'd ever seen. Told me to do a purge, and all would be well. I followed their directions, but felt that the output seemed rather less impressive than prior bowel preps I'd had. If I was so FOS, shouldn't I have produced a lot of stuff?
      A month or two later, same thing, same diagnosis, same results. Three weeks later, same thing. Then came the day when the pain was so extreme, hubby called an ambulance. I couldn't talk, as breathing hurt. I'd taken my normal pain meds, and then doubled it, no effect. The ambulance men were horrible. They almost refused to take me because I was having trouble speaking. I did my best to explain my pain, and they transported me. By the time we got to the hospital, I was screaming in agony. As the ambulance crew pushed the gurney into the ER, one of the nurses came up to me and scratched my arm, telling me to shut, that there were legitimate patients I was scaring with my theatrics. I was shocked by the way they treated me. Once back in an exam room, the male nurse came up to me and said, "I'm here to set up an IV," and then he brutalized my arm, telling me to not worry, I'd soon get the 'good stuff' so I should just buck it up and not complain." and it became obvious they didn't want to hear what I was there for. They considered me a drug seeker. Gave me IV pain meds, and told me to take tylenol if I had more pain. I was mortified to be labeled a drug seeker. Thought it was ironic that I had access to pain meds, and took them as prescribed. My big lesson was to not go to the ER for that pain. Or any pain.
      Fast forward two years, and multiple additional episodes of debilitating pain, and during that time I moved to a new state. When the pain wouldn't subside with one of those episodes, hubby begged me to get seen by the doctors. I decided to just lie on the floor, as that always seemed to calm the gut pain. But that time it did NOT work. The pain, instead of dropping to manageable levels, skyrocketed off the charts. So I had hubby drive me to the ER. I didn't want to wait 20 minutes for an ambulance to arrive, and then be forced to lie down for the half hour drive.
      I told the dr. (Dr. Lepard) about my pain, and about my suspicion that it was a specific issue that can crop up in people who have had weight loss surgery. I then told him explicitly that I did NOT want pain medicine. I wanted to find out WHY I had pain. Doc ordered several tests and once it was clear I didn't have elevated counts indicating infection (infection free) he got me on some IV pain meds. Then the other tests came back. Turns out that 85% of my small intestine was herniated, and being strangled - a process that took years to get that extreme. But it had reached crisis point. My intestines were swollen to 8 times their normal diameter, leaking chyme everyhwere, swollen, constricted, fixing to die.... and take me with it.
      Dr. Lepard - Listening to me - saved my life. They put me on a life-flight, got me care, and my intestines got restored blood flow before they died.
      listening to the patient can, easily, be a life-or-death situation.
      So thank you, Dr. Lepard, for listening.

      my thought too. Poor guy. Not only must this have been very scary, but it was only made worse by not being believed. It's never nice not being taken for granted, and in his case, rightfully so being proud of being sober for so long, only must be more hurtful. And its almost understandable that this happened. Many eople are especially dishonest to their doctors when it comes to alcohol or drugs (and not understanding they only put themselves to risk). The odds are simply against him.
      The doc's likely have seen it all, people visibly drunk pretending not to be and not having touched any booze (in a slurred voice).

      ​@cckayymayy I developed SIBO 3 years ago and now I have it under control. First of all find a good nutritionist. I've ran into quacks (including naturopaths) promoting garbage diets. A diet that may work is the lowFODMAP diet. It restricts the number of fermentable carbohydrates that only our gut micribiome digests. If the illness doesn't subside with diet alone (for me it didn't) you may need to go on an antibiotic. Rifaximin worked for me, sometimes they need to add a second one (I didn't tolerate that one). If the two versions I mentioned don't work find a nutritionist that can help you go on a liquid diet for a few weeks. It's been clinically tested to help by starving out the gut bacteria. And remember that for most people SIBO is chronic. Like all chronic conditions you will have relapses. Don't despair, you'll have more tool in your treatment arsenal with each one. You can lead a productive active life with SIBO, but you will be more restricted when eating out. I have a few safe restaurants I go to and often cook my own meals for a trip. But it's worth it.
      Other things that worked for me: Peppermint oil supplements (help slow down gut hypermotility and gas production) and (prescription only) a cholestyramine--which is a cationic resin you can drink as a suspension to help trap excess bile salta that may sometimes ferment in your gut. Hope this helps. And keep looking for a good GI or internal medicine specialist. Otherwise there are a ton of quacks that will make you sicker and miserable because they know you're desperate for a solution

    I’m so tired of doctors labeling people as neurotics because their tests didn’t turn up anything. As this story demonstrates, the human body is far too complex for such simplistic thinking. It took me a decade of talking to disinterested doctors before I found one that actually referred me to specialists and got me real medical care. Ten years of hiding my pain and feeling shamed if I tried to find help. Then, my partner went to a doctor for stomach pain and was sent home twice without care. It turned out to be terminal appendix cancer. I’ll never know if the love of my life would be alive today if that doctor had cared instead of wasting so much vital time needed to fight an extremely aggressive cancer.

I ate some sugarry comfort food and began to feel and talk like I was drunk. I googled symptoms of high blood sugar and one was cognitive disturbance but if it got that bad you need immediate medical attention. I reasoned that feeling drunk was a cognitive disturbance.

      If you are experiencing constipation or diarrhea with the pain then it's worth getting checked for SIBO. It's a simple breath test so there is no real reason for your doctor to refuse you, you can pay for it yourself and get the results sent to them if they are being difficult. 9 years unexplained constant severe pain suddenly had a reason, overgrowth of a bunch of different bacteria in the guts. It doesn't show up on blood tests, only signs of it there might be elevated inflammation markers and that's super non specific. Hope you all get some relief soon either way!

Reminded me the value of trusting patient’s words even when it does not corroborate with objective evidence which is really hard for most doctors to do so because patient do sometimes lie. Sounds like this could be an episode of House MD. I can imagine Dr House saying “Occam’s razor, patient is lying!”. Hahaha!

      Right? And attention seekers, when these poor people desperate for help turn down painkillers and just ask to be believed. They get labelled attention seekers and when they next show up, the entire nursing and medical staff are giving them funny looks, dismissing their requests and trying to ignore them. Surely that kind of slander must fall into Hipaa violation? It is clear they talk amongst themselves about their patient's private info? Or is it only 'diagnosed' info that is sacred?

    A few times I have gone way overboard on carbohydrates and the next morning I wake up and I feel hungover. There's no other way to describe it.

    For the love of Christ compels us, because we judge thus: that if One died for all, then all died; 15 and He died for all, that those who live should live no longer for themselves, but for Him who died for them and rose again.
    16 Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh. Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know Him thus no longer. 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. 18 Now all things are of God, who has reconciled us to Himself through Jesus Christ, and has given us the ministry of reconciliation, 19 that is, that God was in Christ reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing their trespasses to them, and has committed to us the word of reconciliation.
    20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God. 21 For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. 2 Corinthians 5:14-21

    Thank YOU, Doctor, for sharing this most fascinating story of Luke's difficult-to-diagnose & troubling condition; I am sure thankful this long-suffering patient was finally diagnosed and regained a good quality of life☆~I have MCTD, IBD Crohn's, Hashimoto's, Raynaud's, etc, and have also tested positive several times for ASCA...which as you well know in the medical world, can indicate this GI "Yeast Condition":( Although I do not create the alcohol as James did, my gut biome seems to be a frequent battle, even with watching carbs and taking a daily probiotic. There are simply times another round of anti-fungals becomes necessary~interestingly enough, only my Immunologic Physician, plus excellent Rheumatologist, even knew to test for this little understood issue. When I have mentioned it to my other specialists, most of them look at me like I am crazy, or "drunk", lol, which would be impossible since never, ever consume any alcohol due to allergies and zero taste for the stuff!! Anyway, I absolutely LOVE all your videos being that you are beyond BRILLIANT, obviously, and often cover such fascinating & rare cases...Thanks for being a wonderful UA-camr to all your FANS, but most importantly, the BEST & caring doctor to each and every one of your BLESSED Patients♡♡:) Wishing You & Hubby Mark Many of God's Wonderful BLESSINGS, Holly in the Blazing HOT Desert State of Arizona☆!!
