I've read about this stuff, not here though. Its unpasteurized, so not clear-amber color as we know honey to be.

Trying to get my gut settled after having somewhat volcanic and earth-quake like gut rumblings in November has been difficult (per my thread on that). Despite going the typical natural support for my gut, I took a chance on a $35 8 oz mini-jar of this stuff. Took 1/2 tea spoon 4 times a day.

I felt better after two hours and thought that was just a coincidence, but 3 days later the bloating and rumblings and everything else has still been almost eliminated. This coats the whole tract I guess. Inflamed gut linings seem to like this. The Amazon reviews said so, now I know too. This is another not well known gut suppliment (like the unknown D-Limonene) that deserves to be known more.

I know Manuka honey has anti-bacterial properties....do you think you had a stomach 'bug'?

astroman I want to inform you that I bought D Limonene just because of you smile
I hope it will help me smile

Regarding your issue, I know that honey is very good for the gut.
When I was little, my grandma always gave me honey if my tummy was not fine.
But personally I can't take it, it provokes nausea. It is too sweet. I think I havesome insuline issues and because of that I feel sick if I eat sweet on its own. I am not sure if it would happen with Manuka honey? Does it taste the same like regular honey?

Girlie - Well, when it suddenly stared up last month, it seemed like a stomach bug that got out of control and wrecked my gut flora. If that is the case maybe rebuilding our gut flora to "bulletproof" levels takes many years?

That said, at the end of my longer "gall bladder" post, I learned how SIBO is related to liver and gall duct issues. I still think a simple anti-parasite treatement followed by a gall/liver flush on a commited weekend is still a good idea.

Manuka looks and tastes different than regular honey. Its real thick (paste like) and NOT clear amber color, not clear at all. Almost like the bronze/greening color of candle wax or wheel bearing grease.

Dr. Axe speaks highly of raw honey and manuka honey.
