So as not to further hijack Charlie's minocycline log, and to present this info more coherently, I am starting a log of my attempt to clear, sterilise and recolonise my gut.
I am using Grapefruit Seed Extract and Augmentin as antibiotics and macrogol as a laxative. My aim is to first clear and sterilise my gut using these. Then I plan to use kefir grain retention enemas and S. Boulardii to recolonise my gut.
Friday 14th
Took the following;
3/4 pint OJ,
big pinch of bicarb to neutralise acid
topped up with hot water for nice warm drink
4 drops Grapefruit Seed Extract
1/2 tablet augmentin
Sachet of Macrogol
I repeated this twice more, but without antibiotics and 2 sachets instead of one.
I was drinking sweet tea with milk in between. No other foods.
I began to have negative symptoms, primarily headache, and also waves of tiredness. I initially thought this was a herxheimer reaction and took 600mg aspirin to combat it. The waves of tiredness were very similar to that which I had experienced in the past during colonic irrigation.
I also took 25mg Zinc, as it had been drawn to my attention that I was probably not getting enough. Not related to this experiment specifically. I also took approx 1/6th grain Thiroyd and 1/2 tsp Taurine as part of my usual regime.
I had small bouts of diarrhoea during the evening, which were gentle and very controllable. The tiredness and more so the headaches continued through the evening.
