What the next few weeks will look like for me:

1. I’m going back gluten and dairy free. Once I stopped the parasite cleanse, I fell back into old patterns of over eating things that I knew my body didn’t agree with. While I don’t have any physical SIBO symptoms (severe bloating/discomfort after eating, even a larger amount) this is probably because I JUST stopped supplements and my body hasn’t adjusted. Regardless, I am definitely super swollen. I know my body doesn’t tolerate large amounts of gluten and dairy let alone eating it for every meal the past few days…

2. I am off all supplements so I can do a nirvana biome stool test. This will give my practitioner a better understanding of what’s going on inside my gut, so we can treat accordingly.

3. I’m waiting for my food marble device to come back. I was having issues with mine so I had to send it out to be tested. I’m waiting for it to come back in so I can do another SIBO test and see where I’m at!

I feel like I have a much clearer patch to recovery and I’m excited to heal properly.

2025 is the year… I can feel it🥹🥳

2025/1/2 Edited to

In the pursuit of gut health, it’s crucial to monitor dietary impacts thoughtfully. Following a gluten and dairy free diet can be beneficial for those suffering from SIBO (small intestinal bacterial overgrowth). This approach alleviates symptoms such as bloating and discomfort associated with certain foods. Additionally, the Nirvana Biome stool test is integral in tailoring specific treatments based on gut flora composition. This test provides essential insights into how gut health might influence overall wellness and guides dietary choices effectively. During this journey, it's vital to listen to your body and recognize patterns of bloating or discomfort after meals. Taking a break from supplements allows the gut to reset and aims at a clearer understanding of digestive health dynamics. As I anticipate the return of my food marble device and further testing, I’m committed to fostering a balanced gut environment, steering clear of food triggers, and nurturing the healing process. The year 2025 presents hope for revitalized health and a clear path toward recovery. Let's inspire each other on this journey!
