Florastor and Friends

Oh my.

In what probably is best characterized as an aggressively stupid decision, I began combining my florastor with my no-fenol. The inspiration for this daft maneuver came from bottle reading. Florastor is intended to kill off yeast in the intestinal tract, the dreaded candida and his buddies. No-fenol contains a warning that if taken on an empty stomach, the enzymes were so strong that they would break down the cell walls of disbiotic yeasts in the intestinal tract and could result in die off.

I decided this sounded like a good idea.

Well, allow me to clarify. This sounded like an invitation to discomfort, combining the effects of two powerful anti-fingal anti-yeast supplements, but Florastor is not cheap, and frankly mailing of my own, er, excrement to labratories in the midwest in a box is an expereince I would rather never repeat, so I decided, if I am going to address this problem, lets address it aggressively.

So I began taking florastor and no-fenol on an empty stomach.

Woah is me. I feel...fuzzy. Like there is a peach fuzz inside me. I feel headachey, and I feel naseaous. My face is peeling, although just slightly, and my skin is red adn puffy. my energy is down considerably. I gasp for air at the top of stairs. I have been taking the combination for over a week now. Yick.

Is this a good idea? Probably depends on who you ask. But I want done with this. I want health yesterday. I want done mail ordering pro-biotics from swiss companies. I want done with the ever present wild card of yeast prolifferation. I am not even certain if I believe that candida is a real problem, but I have these bottles, and I have a low tolerance for sickness and a high tolerance for pain, so down the hatch and wish me luck.

But, dear God, I do feel dreadful.
