Be careful checking out the video. I lift my shirt at one point and show my perfectly toned physique. Ha ha, it's a belly shot to show the level of inflammation (pregnant belly) I get but if you're squeamish you might want to give that section a miss 😂

My problem is SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth) and through epic failing to get any form of relief by trying the juice fast (yes that's right I've just gone 7 full days and a night eating no food and drinking only green juices) I got so frustrated that I did an 9 hour internet research session (over two days) and think I have found a more sensible procedure to try next which involves L-glutamine supplements and some natural Antimicrobials (grapefruit seed extract). L-glutamine builds up the intestinal lining of the small intestine while the grapefruit seed extract kills only the bad bacteria in the gut. This is what they say on the internet anyway. We shall see. There are lots of testimonials saying it has helped some people and also a few clinical studies on both so I am hopeful.

Less hopeful of getting to steemfest if I have to keep buying supplements for much longer though ;-)

I feel for you Carol on the exclusion diets, I have done them all but they never helped me and part of me is glad cause I don't want to give up certain foods. I am going to limit them after this fast experience. One thing I learned is what it truly feels like to be hungry, so it is going to be much easier to limit my pasta and bread products.

Thanks for reading my 'good, bad n ugly' post.
