There are so many viruses out there now affecting the GI tract.
And food borne illness is common.
I did a 3 week long Candida cleanse (NOW brand) and once the Candida died... boy was I sick for a week. I stopped it and recovered, and now I am a "new person"... Candida causes lots of gas/bloating etc.
If you are taking Nexium or any other acid lowering drug, you will ferment protein in the bowel and also get really sick. The acid in the stomach is needed to break up protein you eat into smaller bits, so the enzymes from the pancreas can digest it.
Without acid... the bacteria ferment the protein into GAS and diarrhea. Too much gas= severe cramping as well.
Our processed foods now contain many gums as thickeners, and also now, propylene glycol.. These ferment in the bowel as well ... reading labels can help avoid these new irritants.
