back on the xifaxan

1600 mg/day for 7 days. Each script for this stuff is a plane ticket to an exotic location I’m afraid I’ll never see. Back on the ketogenic diet too.
Definitely at a low point. Feeling sick – bloating, body aches, brain fog. Spending a lot of time alone as I don’t feel well enough to go [...]
More thoughts on kefir and a new Italian SIBO study

I’ve taken about an 8-day homemade kefir break and gone back to a more simplistic meat-and-eggs (and cheddar cheese) Atkins-style diet. I no longer feel like a zombie walking around but I’m still very tired. I’m going to start a new batch of kefir tonight (my grains have been sitting in milk for a week) [...]
Nourishing Traditions, cultured dairy and to VSL or not to VSL?
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: September 25, 2009
So I wanted at some point to update this blog to document my foray into both the traditional diet via Nourishing Traditions and Weston Price, as well as my kitchen adventures with culturing my own dairy, in the way of making yogurt and kefir. I guess I have been so busy making yogurt and kefir [...]
I have spent my whole life in ruins because of people who are nice…
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: September 1, 2009
At present I’m taking a course of Neomycin. This is my first time on an antibiotic that isn’t Xifaxan, and I’m not liking what’s going on with my body. Lots of bloating, popping out of my clothes, abdominal pain and no appetite whatsoever.
The nicest thing anyone could ever say to me when I tell them [...]

On Monday morning I found out that my hydrogen breath test was positive for small intestinal bacterial overgrowth. Today is my second day on 1200 mg of Xifaxan. I am also taking VSL #3. I am trying to keep my regular low-carb diet with minimal lactose. It’s going well. I don’t feel so great. Kind [...]
The sporting life
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: March 6, 2008
I’ve done some math and I actually have been eating more than I thought during my Daily Plate days. As I restricted to 1200 only part of the time, I knew that an average, if taken, would be higher, although I would have guessed closer to 1450. The number is more like 1550 – 1650. [...]
The adventure of the very strange solution
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: February 17, 2008
This is what happens when one does not keep up with one’s blog. When one’s notes are strewn all over the place, in journals and notepads and one’s daily plate. I will attempt to recreate the best I can the events of the past few weeks.
I passed on the nutritionist’s request for hydrogen breath tests [...]
all round and emofree
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 30, 2008
Tonight I saw my nutritionist for a review of my detection diet journal. I was anxious to hear her take on it all. I had known since our last conversation that she didn’t doubt my suspicions of fructose/sugar intolerance, so I wanted to see what she thought about whatever else might have been bothering me.
I [...]
Day 12
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 23, 2008
“It is certainly delicate,” said my friend with an amused smile, “but I have not been struck up to now with its complexity. It has been a case for intellectual deduction, but when this original intellectual deduction is confirmed point by point by quite a number of independent incidents, then the subjective becomes objective and [...]
Whatever day we’re on now
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 21, 2008
I’m sick to death of this diet. I thought keeping this blog would help me hold onto an “on a quest” feeling, but its not really working. Today I made flatbread from amaranth flour and arrowroot powder and olive oil. It was amazing. The recipe, from The Complete Candida Guidebook, makes 8 little flatbreads. Of [...]

I think most people would have planned an undertaking like this diet around their period. I am not most people.
Bok Choy Boats filled with Texmati Rice
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 16, 2008
This is what I get when I play with my food. Salty and five-spicey. Salt is fine. Five spice is probably cheating.
A lot has happened in the past two and a half days.
The meat-eating was getting to me. Sunday night in bed, nearly every progression towards sleep’s doorstop was met with a vision [...]
Day Two – the morning
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 13, 2008
I woke up this morning with one major observation. Just one day into the diet and my gas level has been significantly reduced. Amazing. However, everything else remains the same. I was bloated last night, I bloated up big right after my breakfast of half an avocado & celery with tahini butter. Pain last night [...]
A little background – Part One
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: January 12, 2008
It all started back in March of 2006. I was Mcdougalling, which means that I was following a high-carb, low fat vegan diet for weight loss. I was vegan anyway, and had been for about five years. I had successfully lost a ton of weight on this diet back in 2004, I think 30 pounds [...]
- Girrlock Holmes: Hi Marie. I trialed 4 oz of kombucha a day for a while (store-bought) and had a terrible time with it. Had to drink it at night becuase it brought on
- Marie: How does dairy free stuff like Kombucha work for you?
- Girrlock Holmes: Kefir is indeed not for everyone. I'm no longer drinking it myself. If you are becoming bloated by it then you may indeed have a lactose allergy o
