Re: Digestion extremely screwed up from antibiotics please help?

Your symptoms sound a lot like the ones I had. Best I could tell I was too stressed out, so my LHPA (emotional and stress systems) got out of whack.

Here's what worked for me: relaxation/meditation, hydration, vitamin C, vitamin B12, digestive enzymes, kefir & yogurt, eggs, milk thistle seed extract.

I also had frequent cold sore outbreaks. Supplementing with lysine helped reduce frequency and severity. It also seemed to improve my mood.

I also had a period where I supplemented regularly with zinc. It had an obvious benefit for a while then tapered off. I take it occasionally now. I think I may have had a lot of stored copper that needed pulling out.

I also take licorice occasionally, when I expect my cortisol levels to be high.

If you do indeed have "Adrenal Fatigue", which your symptoms sound a lot like, then I would seriously steer clear of stimulants. Seriously. Do you get anxious a lot? Are you jumpy or does your heart often beat fast with little provocation? I think a hyperactive stress system is a root cause for lots of the illness you see in this forum (the AF forum). Tweet
