A recap: I started taking AOR probiotic 3, which gave me cramps and sulfur smelling gas that did not stop even few weeks after I stopped it. Then I decided I should take "Now Foods, Candida Support". I have been tested negative against candida but I though this might knock out some bad bacteria, since it includes stuff that are considered to be naturally antimicrobial and beneficiary for the gut (Oregano Oil, Black Walnut, Pau D' Arco, Caprylic Acid). I didn't take more than 4 pills but I relapsed badly (diarrhea, blood). This is rare for me because I have been stable for years and have taken a lot of supplements without bad side effects. It's been a week now and no signs of recovery. I've spoken with my doctor and will have exams.

I still have not recovered, in fact I'm a bit worse. I tried taking rifaximin, metronidazole and cipro with no results. I had blood tests as well a stool culture test. The stool culture test came back negative but I believe they tested it only for three organisms (salmonella, shigella and yersinia). Some of my blood results are elevated. I still have not seen my doctor since he's out of town.

remind me and other dummies like me, why you are NOT on any meds ------ i'm sure there's a good reason, just can't remember -

Through the last ~8 years that I have ulcerative colitis I've tried brand names Salofalk (mesalazine), mezavant & Salofalk granu stix(slow release mesalazine), colazide (balsalazide), azathioprine, remicade, simponi and of course Prednisone. Some of the worked and stopped working, some did not work at all. The thing is, the last couple of years I was in a totally natural regimen (curcumin, krill oil, qing dai, e cig, probiotics plus a multivitamin) and I was doing really well, I did not need any drugs. Now my doctor put me on Prednisone again that does not seem to be as effective as it was back in the days. Prednisone always helped me. Which makes me believe my relapse has a bacterial cause.

Hi King of the Toilet.

Did you finally discovered which strain was causing you the overgrowth and the symptoms?. Im dealing with SIBO since then When i take antimicrobials Im perfect, however when i stop it comes back. I can't send you any private message so if you want to talk about this probiotic (i have had your same experience), please sen me a mail: [email protected].

Cheers.

Mat:
If you can handle it you might try raw garlic.
You need to crush first. 1/4 clove a day to try out.
Too much garlic thins the blood.
Antibiotics may suppress the bacteria, but they don't penetrate biofilms well,
if some sort of biofilm is the problem.

If you see adverse events stop.

Matt_eire89 unfortunately I do not know which strain caused my problems. I recovered after two months or so.

What did you do to recover king?. Or just it "healed by itself"?.

@Old_mike yes, garlic is one of the things that helps me the most!

cheers
