Hi Everyone,
I've just returned from interstate having eaten all the wrong foods over Christmas. Three days of all you can eat wheat/dairy foods with alcohol. After following a hybrid low FODMAP / Fast Tract diet fairly closely for two extended periods over the past year (Feb 2017 to Dec 2017) which was broken up by 2 x 5 week Herbal Antibiotic regimes in Feb 2017 and then July 2017 (Per Alison Siebeckers advice re: FC Cidal with Dysbiocide with Neem and Peppermint/Oregano etc) I found that the first day of heavy christmas eating had little effect. My stomach was neither too heavily sore or bloated. By the 2nd days the effect was quite obvious, and waking up on the 4th day after 3 consecutive days of naughty eating the malaise, gut distension and putrid smell of my stool have given me all the motivation I need to quickly get back on track and get back to where I was before Christmas.
Before diving back into my previous protocol I thought I'd see what the latest news in the field of SIBO was and came across the Bi-phasic diet per here: http://victoriafenton.net/blog/tag/biphasic/ (diet proposed by Nirala Jacobi) I was planning to just launch straight into my trusty Siebecker herbal Abx regime but I'm concerned about doing so whilst my gut integrity is still inflamed/compromised by the Christmas binge eating.
Am I being overly concerned? Would 3 days of gorging on foods I rarely eat, full of fodmaps etc. have undone all my hard work in building up my gut integrity?
Do I need to follow the principle of 'Reduce and Restore' proposed in the Biphasic diet to heal the gut before I subject it to the herbal Abx regime again?
I've just taken about 5 Lifespace Broad Spectrum Probiotics (64billion per capsule per here https://www.lifespaceprobiotics.com/adult/broad-spectrum-probiotic-capsules/) and 7 Inner Health Plus Probiotics per here: http://ethicalnutrients.com.au/products/product/ihcdf
and this followed 2 Saccharomyces Boulardii's taken earlier in day and 2 the day before. Needless to say I've just flooded my microbiome with healthy treats but how long do you think I should wait before commencing the Herbal Antibiotics?
My plan at this stage is to commence the herbal antibiotics on Monday (New Years day) after doing a few 'recovery days' including high dose probiotics beforehand. I intend to do like last time and take Siebecker's FC Cidal and Dysbiocide at 1.5 x the recommended dose (with double dosage of a biofilm disruptor) first thing in morning and then last thing at night with the aforementioned probiotics taken in the middle. I will throw in a couple coffee enema's and see also about doing a short term Hydroxy B12 injection series to get my methylation up and running simultaneous to the gut healing..
Thanks in advance for any advice / guidance - the knowledge in these forums is fantastic..
