Re: Re:Re: Help Me! Spastic Colon?

When our upper GI gets hit with a high-fat (or high-fiber) food -- or your immune system takes offense at what it perceives as an invader -- it can increase peristalsis dramatically, trying to get it out of the body. Which causes what you're describing in the lower GI...Kim,Have you heard of having increased peristalsis as the bodytries to eliminate toxins from die off?Mara

Which causes what you're describing in the lower GI...I had just started drinking some bone broth with two raw eggs blended in when this started, but I was due for a BM anyways since I hadn't gone all day yesterday and all day the day before. Doesn't SEEM like that would've triggered something, unless there was salmonella in the egg yolks. But then I'd probably have been vomiting all over the place as well. Kim,Have you heard of having increased peristalsis as the bodytries to eliminate toxins from die off?This seems more likely to me, rather than a food reaction. Well, I still think it could've been triggered by the manuka honey. Apparently that is STRONG stuff. It could be the FCLO too, I guess. I took the FCLO about 6 hours before the episode started, and the honey about 7 hours before. I guess the only way to find out is to take the FCLO today and not the honey, and see what happens! Thanks for your help guys =) Peace =)Alyssa 15 yoUC April 2008, dx Sept 2008SCD June 2009 (restarted)Chinese Herbs (not legal but helping!)
