I'm mostly better. This is one hell of a way to lose a few pounds. Not recommended as a diet, but maybe I should call Hollywood and spread the word so those women will stop starving themselves on purpose.

My kids all had the stomach flu last week, so maybe I just got a weird, ugly twist on it.

I still need to follow up with the GI doctor today and we'll see if anything else needs to be done, or if this will just heal up on its own.

Ugh.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy?????? Whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????

(how'd I do?)

wbc in the gut is indicative of a bacterial infection. the presence of viruses and protoazoans do not prompt this response. I was wondering if they isolated a bacteria like Salmonella, Shigella, or E coli...

Walgreens, Whole Foods, Vitamin Cottage or one of those places would be the best. But you can probably find some at the grocery store or Target or wherever too...

I take them just because I eat a shitty diet most of the time and it helps keep me from getting indigestion.

The doctor said they tested for all of those, and a few more, and came out negative. So all I know is it's a bacterial infection with an unknown name and unknown cause.

We still call Jack in the Box e-coli burgers.

Here is another option. the guy that came up with this probiotic formula healed from Crones disease using it and a healthy diet. Hope your feeling better
