Let me start this off by saying I was on antidepressants for anxiety from 16-24 and dabbled with pro hormones snd SARMs from 19-24. All these issues sorta began after stopping everything around 24-25 and slowly have been getting worse.
Ive been lifting for 13 years, and eating extremely clean the past 3 years mainly due to an increase in digestion issue, food sensitivity, slow gut motility. I can’t lift as intensely as I used to, I’ve tested for high cortisol, low vitamin d (supplementing for this) and SIBO. Wondering if TRT might help my slow gut motility and digestion issues? Doctors are at a loss, I’ve gone through significant testing, CT scan, liver tests, and even had my gallbladder removed which only solved some of the digestive issues.
Going through antibiotic treatments for SIBO, but I’m still very sensitive to acidic things and fats. Taking ox bile and iberogast for fat digestion and motility, but doesn’t seem to help all that much.
Thyroid seems ok. TSH around 2.2-2.5 free t3 and free t4 is fine. Estradiol is normal.
My current non digestive symptoms: low libido (haven’t had a girlfriend since stopping antidepressants/oral steroids), lack of morning wood, lack of interest in things, anxiety/panic which is impacting my work, and random bouts of insomnia. Anxiety while talking in work meetings/voicing my opinion.
What I’ve tried:
Kisspeptin-10 - noticed a huge difference for 4-5 days anxiety was gone, digestion was faster, but estrogen symptoms/lethargy started around day 7 and got worse until I stopped.
T3 - obliterated anxiety but after a week or so I started feeling like I was getting low thyroid symptoms cold hands, extremely lethargic and tired.
Zinc - helps, but really starts to irritate my gut
Enclomiphene - worked great, but again had major gut issues due to the solution it was in.
Adding high fat - I do notice a difference but takes a toll on how much I can eat during the day due to slow gut motility.
Would trialing TRT be worth my time with the below blood tests? Anyone else have issues with possibly low T or coming off of T and experiencing foods sensitivities?
Bloodwork:
Also my dhea-s was 171 mcg/dl
