Yes, I think that's a good reaction to a bad meal. So offending things can be cleared out pretty quickly.
But then I think diarrhea follows and there would be an urge to let go several times.
The healthy movements after a meal I suspect should be normal without much urge.
I haven't had experiences with penicillin since childhood but I'm coming to realise that the fight against intestinal bacteria is game of patience - more like chess. Its about using benign things like aspirin, coconut oil and saturated fats, carrots, cascara on the long term. Also, it's about picking the right foods, carefully, depending on how obvious bacterial over growth is. Less starch and junk at times when you feel bacteria is taking over your gut. In the end, it really comes down to how healthy your overall physiology is. Supporting respiration and building resilience is what keeps bacteria at bay. With very good health status, sometimes you might eat an offending food or simply get sick because of stress but you recover very quickly with help of an antibiotic. It's smooth sailing after one course and you'll not need to be dependent on it. If you still have a lot of work to be done on your health, you probably only benefit from antibiotics temporarily.
Characoal I think is best used occasionally, when you screw up real bad.
Although, Peat mentioned that he used penicillin in the past, now it seems to me that Tetracycline is his more preferable antibiotic with Doxycycline being ok.
Wow great things in this post, thank you XPlus :)
I like the chess analogy because it makes sense and I like to play it.
Now I think back of my charcoal experiment two weeks ago and it seems that when I first did it, I got the most benefits and then the benefits died off pretty quickly that I started to get negative effects from it like increase water retention in the **** lol and general feeling of illness. It's smart to use as emergency only like you said.
Cascara. So what if you don't have the aged one RP recommended? I have the regular store bought with minimal bad ingredients. Would that still be considered on the long term in taming our gut bacteria?
