Hello all .
I am on abx for Yersiniosis. I am also in the middle of a multi-year elimination diet to see which foods I react to. (Answer: A lot, including all grains, even quinoa.) I am taking prescrip-assist and orthobiotic to help me cope with the abx.
Now that I have got the abx side effects pretty well under control, I felt it was time to test some new foods. I tested about 5 things yesterday -- didn't react to the first one, so tried another, etc. I reacted to none. This was exciting (more variety in my diet) but then I wondered: If gut bacteria are related to food reactions, does that mean I should not test foods when on the abx? And start over with the elim diet after I am done with the abx and have had time to establish new bacteria? But isn't a broad diet important to establishing the right bacteria anyway?
I'd love some help / insight for thinking this through!
