Sauerkraut

I've had so many issues since getting food poisoning on 22 November last year that I am taking control of my health.

I used to have IBS C which I managed with no problem, I could put up with the pain and bloating. Since having food poisoning the IBS has changed completely as I've been getting diarrhoea and nausea, last night I was feeling very sick. I have been living off white toast so have been feeling very tired and lacklustre. I am a person that enjoys keeping fit and eating very healthily but haven't been able to do either which has been very frustrating.

I have been talking to someone on this site and she has been so helpful, thank you Lulububs , I have therefore today made Sauerkraut (I have Dr Michael Mosley's Clever Guts Diet book) and will now watch that ferment for about 3 weeks. I have thrown away the Sourdough starter to make a new one with Gluten free flour. I also bought Kombucha this morning and have had some already and it tastes delicious.

I will beat this no matter what. This condition isn't understood very well by the medical profession. I think at the end of the day what we put into our gut counts for how we feel.

I am now going to look at Candida on the internet.

Here's to good health to all and I really hope that others on this site are able to take control of their tummy issues, I know that not everyone can but I am going to give it a very good go.
