I am not fasting at all ahaha. I do take it on an empty stomach.Thanks for the info. Would this be effective if I still ate food while doing this? It isnt one of those fasting things?

So how do you prepare it? Surely this must be very harsh on the gut too?I am not fasting at all ahaha. I do take it on an empty stomach.
I ended up doing metronidazole and cephalexin. Neomycin and rifaximin would be the nuclear option, and paired with activated charcoal, "Bye, bye." bugs.
It's USP, so it's the same quality.Fish antibiotic?
Ensuring a quick transit with 2-3 bowel movements daily would dissuade the development of SIBO and drastically lower bowel inflammation, leading to better mood, energy, and digestion. Cascara sagrada acts as a safe laxative.As I said I'm taking Rifaximin now and it's not exactly nuclear imo. I still have the SIBO symptoms, maybe a bit decreased.

Do you ever get a dull burning sensation at the base of your sternum (heartburn)?The thing is, I DO have that many bowels movements a day. More actually, depending on what I eat and do. If I eat something that produces gas in my gut, it causes me to have a bowel movement. Not a large one though, the pressure I think just stimulates peristalsis.

No, I don't have heartburn or reflux symptoms and I don't have constipation or apparent slow transit time. My only consistent symptoms are bloating after meals (gas that gets trapped in my small intestine and distends my abdomen) and irritation from spicy food that I didn't get when I was younger. Very very rarely I'll have minor acid reflux symptoms, where I can feel chyme up in my lower throat (gross burp swallowing) but this happens like a few times a year.
I keep reading that bacteria, parasites, worms, all have a vital function and are in the organism for a reason: to feed on the wastes and byproducts of our organisms losing cells and decaying organs.
They are basically doing a usefull cleaning job.
Aren’t we disturbing this natural process by taking antibiotics?

Where?I keep reading that bacteria, parasites, worms, all have a vital function
Well sterile mice live longer so at least for them no bacteria is better.
I think if you have a robust metabolism then very little would live in your gut and this would unlikely to negatively affect you but the number of people with poor metabolisms is staggering and I believe they are more likely to harbor unfavorable microbes. I work around very sick people and the majority of my colleagues are unhealthy and are forever catching flu, gastro and other clearly harmful infestations. I appear to be immune.......thanks RP.
Where?
Again, another point to debate: is it healthy to never get sick?
I remember 5 years a go I would catch at least a flu and 2 sore throats a year, and I had MUCH more energy all year long aside from these episodes than today.
Today I feel like a zombie on a daily basis but NEVER get sick, EVER. I would tend to think that means my immune system doesn't respond anymore to anything, and I am in a worse place than before
You keep reading that it's good to have worms and other parasites from hygienist forums? Where?Hygenist / fasting forums
