Ok babes – you’ve alllll been asking what I’ve taken to heal my gut, and I’ve been really reluctant to give specifics because it is VERY particular to my issue (bacterial overgrowth – yours could simply be food intolerance or your diet, candida, h pylori, hormone imbalance etc etc) and to the particular strains of bacteria I had. I’m going to give you the run down in hopes that you see that it’s much more complicated than just taking a probiotic every morning, and you’ll get tested yourselves! It is important to note that if you take some of these things without knowing what is causing your symptoms, it could make the situation worse. So:
- for 2 months I took 2 Para Gard Intestinal Support pills, 3 Oil of Oregano 60mg and 2 tbsp GI Revive Powder morning and night
- After 2 months I began taking 2 Saccharomyces Boulardii morning and night in addition to Oil of Oregano 60mg and GI Revive Powder
- For the first week of taking the Saccharomyces Boulardii I took 1 Flora 200-14 7 Day Intensive morning and night
- After that week I continued taking the Saccharomyces Boulardii and added Ortho Biotic 100 Billion CFU
- I haven’t eaten anything I’m sensitive to which is – based on a blood test so this would NOT be the same for you! – dairy, eggs, gluten, green beans, peanuts, kidney beans, flax, corn, soy, and cane sugar
- I had a bloating flare up so I went back on Flora 200-14 7 Day Intensive for one week and then back on Ortho Biotic 100 Billion CFU
Rob Yang and I are only just getting started healing my gut and there will be more steps especially as we move on to detox functions and hormones. I am working with him on putting together some universal tips that help bloating but I hope this sheds some light on how complicated it is. I am empowered because I got tested and figured out what was going on in my body – you can too! XOXO ❤
