Breath Test #6

Here is breath test #6.  Finally some good progress.  Numbers are still high but overall everything has decreased which is really awesome.  I did this test after a little over 2 weeks on Rifaximin/Neomycin with Lipophos EDTA as my biofilm buster.  I think Lipophos EDTA works better for me.  I'm back on Klaire Labs Interfase Plus right now but will do a couple of bottles of Lipophos EDTA when I'm done. 

I think the hardest part of the whole process is sticking to the diet when you are not seeing results.  It's such a restricted diet and a real pain to measure everything but in the end, feeling better and having a healthy gut will make it all worth it!

My new favorite product


My ND wanted me to add more probiotics into my diet.  It's incredibly hard to find fermented products that do not have onions or garlic.  This is simply Carrots, ginger and sea salt.  I don't normally eat carrots on their own and I'm new to fermented food, not to mention pretty picky.  This is really good.  On the pricey side, close to $9 but you probably won't be able to tolerate a whole bunch anyway when adding probiotic foods into your diet.  I started off with about 1 tablespoon a day with a meal (because I have been eating homemade kimchee now and again).  If you are more sensitive you may have to start with way, way less.
