Leaky gut and probiotics CAUSING anxiety?
Hello,
I have been diagnosed with leaky gut, candida, inflammation, high levels of copper, and also a not insignificant level of lead.
As part of a regimen to cure myself I eat bone marrow soup, glutamine, Marshmallow root, Spirulina, FOS, and EDTA rounds while staying away from food that could trigger inflammation.
Anyhow - I seem to experience a rise in anxiety levels in relation to the intake of probiotics and was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
I can't seem to find any articles describing this, in fact, only the opposite (that probiotics cure anxiety).
Also, as far as I can see, there can be 2 explanations to this:
1. A transitory phase with re-newed candida die-off
2. Probiotic bacteria that enter the blooedstream due to severe leaky gut.
I tend to think it's the latter as I have been eating only bone marrow soup and spirulina/blueberry shake for 2 weeks plus I had been using antifungals and practiced a Paleo diet for ages before that (and no
Sugar or wheat).
Does anyone have any input on this at all?
Should I quit probiotics as it makes me edgy and it surely can't be healthy if the bacteria is entering the bloodstream/system?
Or is it even a plausible theory?
Kind regards
