Thanks @Scott F. I used the capsules, but are there benefits to the DS packets for our pouches? I think I avoided them because of added starch, but I'm looking on the website now and it seems they all have added cornstarch now. I'm going to take a little time to see how things progress, and check with the docs, but this idea is good to consider, even with the hefty price tag. The things we do for our health!
@Jan Dollar thank you so much for weighing in. I hadn't realized that I could still have bacterial overgrowth post surgery. Is this similar to SIBO? I was doing a little research and it seems like some of my post surgery symptoms like joint pain, food insensitivities, skin issues might all be related, possibly all connected to leaky gut issues. Interestingly enough, I was doing some sugar elimination this past week while on the Zithromax as part of my NAET treatment. Do you think the antibiotics could have "reset" my system? I'm wondering How else I can remove bacterial overgrowth and maintain a healthy gut. Maybe try a FODMAP diet? Thanks.
