Although I see my fair share of clients that are on or have been on antibiotics, I haven’t even thought about personally going on them for nearly a decade. And I hadn’t realized how resistant I had become to Western Medicine.

A little over three weeks ago when my husband basically dragged me to urgent care one Saturday after being sick for over 6 weeks.

Before you rebut with the typical, well you clearly didn’t try EVERYTHING first. 

Nope.

I did.

First I tried all the food and hydration: so much bone broth, soup, filtered water, herbal teas, you name it! I tried all my herbs: echinacea, golden seal, Oregon grape, yerba mansa, turmeric, and so many more! I also tried all the vitamins and supplements: zinc, vitamin C, vitamin D, my go to combinations like Viracon or Immunoberry, you name it! Plus, I rested. Did I miss something there?

So when it came the time to talk about antibiotics I was ready. I just wanted, needed to feel better. 

But let me tell you, it WRECKED my stomach. I basically couldn’t hold anything I ate in, it just flowed in one way and out another. TMI? Ehhh, it’s the truth. And I KNOW I am not alone here.

So, I knew when I finished them I would have to do some solid work on rebuilding my gut health, microbiome and stomach lining. So I thought I would share with you what I am doing myself, in hopes it can help you or someone get through this too.
