Something strange is going on with the blog; it looks as if everything past October is gone. This is probably only a temporary snafu, but I was thinking of posting anyway, so this update will serve as a test and a real post I suppose.
Yesterday I had flu-like symptoms, and when I took my temperature, [...]

Does this picture make me tear up (and sob uncontrollably) because
A) I grew up without a mother, who died when I was 10?

A quick post to update…I finished up the Xifaxan on Monday. I have been taking Erythromycin at night before bed per Dr. Pimentel’s June 2009 study in Gastroenterology & Hepatology.

I guess I have been so busy making yogurt and kefir [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
