Acid reflux or something else

Diet is key. Red meat to the bin its a major red flag. Chicken also is hard to digest when having H pylori so you gotta find out by biopsy if you have it or not. So fix your diet. Mouse portions of what you can eat and digest for the time you heal. Go low fat. No nuts, no coffee. No sodas, no chocolate. Boiled stuff worked good for me and is easy on the stomach. Watch spices and salt as well. Fruit works good for me but not citrus ones. You'll be alright just gotta be disciplined and patient. The process is long af. Hopefully you don't have that bacteria then healing will be easier and quicker. Hang in there!

Thanks a ton.

One more question, why do you do subq and why micro-dosing? Also I'm not sure if you mentioned your current dose per week. Also labs would be healthy to see. Having your reflux flaired up I would def stay away from micro-dosing and sub-q. But that's just me and my own personal opinion. If you levels are way above range and you having all these issues then the solution is a no-brainer from my point of view. A lot of times, and more times then people realize, less is more, especially in this game.

Yeah, less seems like more. I'm a "super hyper metabolizer" according to 23andme. For the past 20 years or so I never did well with IM injections. I've been through it all, the gels, pellets, creams (twice), subq, IM, pills, etc. etc. and subq seems to work best for me - but I think where I inject has some correlation with my acid reflux or nutcracker esophagitis. I'm getting my labs done this week or next. Everything is out of whack now because I went off T and tried a new cream, now back on subq. In the past I've ranged between 400 to 700 TT (depending on if I was trying to keep my hematocrit down), mid range free T, normal SHBG, TSH, DHT, etc. - but my DHT went through the roof on cream. I have a genetic condition that causes my DHEAs to always be 3 times over the top normal range though. My son, brother and other family members have that same issue.
