Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 Thank you Kathy. You could be right about it being a herx. I'm having the tooth removed this afternoon and I think once it is gone I will be able to completely recover rather quickly. I also believe that the tooth behind it doesn't need the root canal afterall. One dentist said it did, and one said it didn't. The reason I am thinking it doesn't is because since taking the antibiotics the pain in that tooth is gone. So I'm of the opinion that my other tooth pain was because of the broken tooth and it was simply radiating to the nearest live nerve. I should have had this taken care of a long time ago, but with no insurance I let it go. I know better! It's interesting that you mention you shouldn't take the olive leaf with other antibiotics. I guess my body just knew that because it made me rather queasy! I'm anxious to get back to my regimen. BTW I don't think I've mentioned this in a while, but all of my IBS has totally calmed down since I upped my probiotic intake for a period of one month. I apparently was so off balance that I really needed a boost to get things back on track. I haven't had a serious bout of diarrhea since before Thanksgiving and before that it was a daily dilema.

Guest guest Posted January 16, 2006 Report Share Posted January 16, 2006 That is good news on all counts! Glad to hear that everything is looking up. Like you, I suffered from IBS and since being on primal defense (I have been on it mostly for the last four years) I haven't had any problems. In fact the only time I have a problem anymore is when I am herxing--that causes me to have lots of spasms and the colon spasms cause constipation. I am glad that you don't need the root canal--those are no fun!! Hugs, Kathy > > Thank you Kathy. You could be right about it being a herx.
