Hi,

I am trying to fix my gut dysbiosis (constant gas, bloating, gurgling), eczema, food intolerances and muscle twitching. I did the GI effects stool test that indicated I had overgrowth of Citrobacter and Klebsiella pneumoniae. I also have an imbalance of Bacteroidetes vs Firmicutes (too many Bacteroidetes). I have leaky gut and possible SIBO (borderline breath test). Given all this Tony Orlando's protocol looks very interesting and I wanted to see if Tony (or anyone else who has tried it) could comment on my proposed protocol:
Diet during protocol - remove high glycemic foods, digestive enzymes at every meal
Step 1 – 14 days:
For 2 weeks ab sorbic acid to bowel tolerance – reason to flush bowels as per Dr Myhills suggestions
Step 2 - 7 days:
Continue vitamin C
High dose Urva Ursi and Plant Tannins to target Citrobacter and Klebsiella pneumoniae (as per the susceptibility on the GI effects test)
Interfase at each meal to break up biofilm
Bile acids for 7 days – to suppress Bacteroidetes (as per Dr Myhills suggestions) and flush bowel
Step 3 – 14 days
Switch from bile acids to bile salts but continue anti microbials, continue vitamin C
Add butyraid, whey and d-lactate free custom probiotics (bifidus) and prescript assist
Step 4 – Add prebiotics
Stop herbal a/bs, continue vitamin C and bile salts
Continue butyraid, whey and d-lactate free custom probiotics (bifidus) and prescript assist
Add bean soups using 15 bean mixes, with plenty of onions, kale, celery, brown rice, quinoa
Add supplemental fibre mixes

Any thoughts, helpful suggestions would be appreciated, thanks
