When the microbiome is washed out for a colonoscopy it may be difficult for it to re-populate. (I eat yogurt with live cultures, drink kefir and take probiotics)

My endoscopy report shows mild gastritis, but what I am now experiencing is not mild-it's murder. None of my holistic treatments has been helping me much, so last night in desperation I took Zantac. It helped enough to let me sleep.

I am gassy, belching and down. I was able to vanquish a UTI with D-Mannose, thank God, because the alternative treatment was Cipro, which I do not want to take.
