Does this picture make me tear up (and sob uncontrollably) because
A) I grew up without a mother, who died when I was 10?
B) I’m afraid I’ll never have a child of my own? This used to be totally okay; I even went through the trouble of falling in love with a man who also didn’t [...]
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) [...]

The Restless Leg Syndrome, SIBO, Celiac Connection
Interesting yet not completely new idea. Be sure and follow the link to the specialists’ site as well.
I am waiting for the chronic multi-illness/SIBO connection research to catch up with the digestive-distress caused by SIBO reocurrance research (there isn’t much.) I wonder what happens when antibiotics are administered, say [...]

On kefir, which I am beginning to make in my home

Antimicrobial and healing activity of kefir and kefiran extract

I have spent my whole life in ruins because of people who are nice…

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 [...]

Even though I made promises to update the blog, I’ve failed at many attempts. I’m having a couple of issues.
I prefer discussion over a monologue. Obviously this is why I do tend to give a little more attention to my yahoo group, because we can bounce ideas off one another, and address specific and targeted [...]
That kid is back on the escalator again!

My job is often full of inappropriate people, but then a lot of jobs are. A lot of times it can actually feel like I’m babysitting a bunch of rude children, only I’m not really paying all that much attention to what they spend all day doing. I’ve been chided more than once for taking [...]
Xifaxan – day nine (or “don’t give it to me – 9×3…you’re out of control, emotional symphony…”)
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: April 23, 2008
I wish I really knew what I was talking about when it came to nutrition, but I don’t. I only know that I constantly stride the balance between a biologically driven disaster waiting to happen and someone who learns from experience. I think that’s what most of us are. How much we learn varies. How [...]

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 [...]
As I possess my soul in patience and make as little noise as possible…

I really didn’t want the hydrogen breath test – getting it approved, taking it, waiting for the results – to be a big deal. I have been disappointed by so many test results before. But I just found out that the doctor has analyzed my test kit, so I’m all ajitters to find out……
The Hydrogen Breath Test
Posted by: Girrlock Holmes on: April 5, 2008
I’ve fasted for tests before but for some reason I awoke ravenously hungry this morning after a 12 hour fast for the Hydrogen breath test. It’s all very complicated – there are two sets of directions instead of just one and I feel like I haven’t prepared well enough. My dear husband studies the instructions [...]
Yours affectionately

Once again I haven’t kept the blog recent. Tomorrow I’ll take the hydrogen breath test for the detection of Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO.) I’ll take it at home with my husband helping. We’ll probably watch his anniversary present to me – I finally own the entire Granada television series with Jeremy Brett. If you’re [...]
