Poop Stories
|
|
I don't know why I've always loved talking about poop, but to me it is a great tool in detecting what's wrong in our bodies. I continuously monitor Evan's poop by sending it to labs to get tested to make sure things are all running smoothly (no yeast, no bacteria, no infections). Sometimes these things can exist without any physical manifestations, so I like to test for them to make sure he is in perfect health. I decided to take the test myself and see how my body was doing, considering I come from a history of lifelong constipation (I'm talking once every 14 days before a movement).
Low and behold, my tests came back and I'm a mess! I have two gnarly gut bugs, and I have extremely high amounts of yeast in my gut. So, I started myself on an antifungal, and my poops have been phenomenal! Yeast, yeast, yeast, all coming out! I personally think the majority of women have an overload of this stuff, especially if you have ever been on an antibiotic and then didn't follow it with a probiotic. Also, the more yeast that comes out, the more my acne seems to be getting better. When Evan was killing candida (back in the day), he was irritable and cranky. Now that I think about it, that is probably why I have been irritable and cranky too (besides PMS). This is also another reason I'm craving sugar and going through withdrawal. If anyone wants to learn more about yeast, please order a book called The Yeast Syndrome. Truly amazing and could change your life. Especially those who have sugar addictions. Until then, enjoy your poops!
