Re: Bacteria in gut and bladder (Dr. Thrasher?)

[Guest guest]

It is not unusual at all to have " bacteria in both. " It is often the bacteria in

the stool that causes the urinary tract infection. D

sick. It only took two doctor's appointments and three ER visits, the last one

in which I insisted they do something other than take my blood AGAIN (and badly,

collapsing my veins and leaving huge bruises so that I look like I shoot drugs).

I basically put the darn stool collector in the toilet myself and said, " There's

a stool for you to culture, okay "

> They also did a urine culture (round of applause for the doc actually doing

something). I have no specifics as to what exactly was found in urine or gut

because my doctor's nurse called to say they got sent the results, but I have

bacteria in both...big time. Hence the belly distending, cramping, etc. etc.

Hence lower abdominal pain. Cipro 2 x for 14 days. I hate Cipro but okay...

Looks like bacteria in upper small intestine, specifically (my symptoms match

where this would originate, according to online sources). Eliminating starch has

completely helped my GERD, which was made much worse by this whole ordeal.

find out what kind it is, but is there a list of types found in WDB as opposed

to types common to food poisoning or is there cross over?

plaster dust raining down on us from work being done to rebuild the collapsed

2nd floor).

i had a ct scan a few years ago that shoed thickening of bronchial tunes..

diffuse and minimal.. it was gone a few years later if CT scan done correctly..

(?) still shocked about this..

i took a lot of serrapeptase which i later learned is used for pulmonary

fibrosis... it helps clear away scar tissue.

my kids tested for h pylori and again if testing was correct, this was taken

care of without abx with licorice and zinc carnosine
