I've read that fresh celery juice can have remarkable results (strengthen digestion, anti-inflammatory, increase HCL, even a first hand account of it curing cancer)  so I tried it out. I drank 1 - 2 cups of fresh organic celery juice daily for 2 months. I had it in the morning on an empty stomach and waited 30 minutes before eating breakfast.  It made my hair and skin really soft but, unfortunately, it didn't help with my digestive issues. I give it 3 stars because it improved my health in some manner, just not in the area I need it the most.  Some pe...

Having a good probiotic definitely makes a difference. Finding a good probiotic has taken some time. So far, these have yielded the best results:  •  Mercola Complete Probiotics (70 Billion CFU) - It recommends 1 capsule daily but I had better results with 1 capsules 2x a day.

I took the Hydrogen & Methane Breath Test and the doctor prescribed Xifaxan, an antibiotic that fights bacterial infection only in the intestines. I took it for 2 weeks (three 550mg tablets a day) and the results were better than Pure Encapsulations MicroDefense (maybe 10% better). I felt great while taking it.

The downside of Xifaxan is (1) it requires a prescription, and (2) it's very pricey so you need good health i...

I take Pure Encapsulations MicroDefense 3 to 4 times a year to kill parasites and bad bacteria. This has been the most effective treatment for my condition (SIBO/parasite infection) to date. I take 3 capsules 3x a day for 10 days and then take a 5 day break. Then I do a second round of 3 capsules 3x a day to capture anything that wasn’t caught in the first round. It has not cured SIBO but it reduces symptoms.  I initially took this under the guidance of a naturopath. I had a parasite infection for 17 years and this reduced symptoms (constant, intense a...
