This talk of stomach ulcers is very very interesting.
In leaky gut syndrome, anti-inflamatory drugs are well known to cause ulcers but ALSO induce leaky gut, as well as the use of anti-biotics. If finasteride can put a hole in your stomach, then it can also wreck the lining of your intestinal tract which leads to decrease gut permeability. This allows toxins to float willy nilly throught your system which can definately give you the brain fog, the intolerance of alcohol, burden your liver a lot and I would assume, give you sexual side effects.
Throw a bit of candida into the mix and we’ve got some real health issues brewing here. Its interesting because get chronic bloating which i have always put down to high estrogen. Now im so sure its estrogen. I suspect it may be candida and or leaky gut syndrome.
Its like a really intense bloating feeling that wont go away until I fart. It keeps me awake at night when its bad, but it tends to come and go.
The whole not being able to tolerate alcohol and caffeine is also a typical symptom of candida. And candida leads to leaky gut.
Also when I stopped fin, my libido was GONE. Then one day I did a colonic hydrotherapy and the next day my libido was the highest its ever been in my life - and my free T was completly shot at that stage.
