Guest guest Posted March 31, 2008 Report Share Posted March 31, 2008 hi, i am hoping someone can shed some light on what is going on with me. this is probably TMI, but bear with me, please. i have been having uncontrollable bowel issues where i cannot even get to the bathroom in time. i have noticed this happening when i drink too much kombucha in one sitting or kefir on an empty stomach, or like today i had kefir after breakfast, but it was a very ripe kefir, meaning very bubbly. it also happens when i eat too much coocnut oil in one sitting and since i do not consume CO very much these days, 2 T. in my soup seems to do me in. why am i not able to absorb this stuff and why does it seem to just fly right through me? should i be consuming a much smaller quantity of fermented things? or is there something else possibly going on? thanks for any thoughts. amanda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like gut dysbiosis (damage or imbalance of intestinal flora), and like you'd need to heal some first and work into the ferments gradually. Dr. Natasha -McBride did a fantastic pair of lectures at the WAPF conference this year. To download or order on CD Dr. Natasha -McBride's 2-part lecture on " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " go to the Weston A. Price Foundation website http://www.westonaprice.org and click on the link at the top of the box beneath the log that says " Order recordings from the 2007 conference " Dr. Natasha's lectures are numbers 6203 and 6219 .They are $13 each to download, slightly more sent on CD. FYI there is a 30 minute introduction to WAP by Sally Fallon in 6203. Her book " Gut and Psychology Syndrome " can be ordered from http://www.guthealth.info/ An email group on the subject is: leaky gut syndrome Take care, Alice - HSing mom to Alice (w/DS) born Thanksgiving Day 1995 :-) Hopewell Junction, NY http://www.frontiernet.net/~castella/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 1, 2008 Report Share Posted April 1, 2008 Is this just the last few days? There's a stomach virus going around the Northeast. What supplements are you taking? Vitamin C and magnesium can cause that, especially on an empty stomach or when you've gotten enough. Do you drink raw milk? It is great for curing diarrhea, and will help with gut dysbiosis too. Is the consumption of fermented foods a new thing you're trying? Too much too soon can cause die-off in the gut and lead to that. Some recommend starting with a little bit and working your way up to higher amounts gradually over time. If that's the case, at least it's a good thing! --- In , " " <amanda@...> wrote: > > hi, i am hoping someone can shed some light on what is going on with me. this is probably TMI, but bear with me, please. i have been having uncontrollable bowel issues where i cannot even get to the bathroom in time. i have noticed this happening when i drink too much kombucha in one sitting or kefir on an empty stomach, or like today i had kefir after breakfast, but it was a very ripe kefir, meaning very bubbly. it also happens when i eat too much coocnut oil in one sitting and since i do not consume CO very much these days, 2 T. in my soup seems to do me in. why am i not able to absorb this stuff and why does it seem to just fly right through me? should i be consuming a much smaller quantity of fermented things? or is there something else possibly going on? > > thanks for any thoughts. > amanda > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
