Ever endured the gut-wrenching turmoil of gastroenteritis? My family, including the four-legged members, recently battled this beast, and I'm here to recount the messy, yet enlightening experience. This week's episode peels back the curtain on the very real physical and mental anguish wrought by what's suspected to be a norovirus ambush. We'll compare the lurking dangers of bacterial versus viral gastro, muse over the curious case of our pets’ health mirroring our own, and navigate the choppy waters of restoring gut health after such a disruption.
When your stomach's in knots tighter than a python's squeeze, you know you're in for a rough ride. Picture this: demonic stomach spasms, a phobia of snakes making a surprise cameo, and the looming question of whether to rush to the hospital or ride it out with trusty over-the-counter saviors. Join me as I share the raw and unfiltered journey of sickness and the small victories found in paracetamol and the solace of hydration, alongside the stark reminder to abstain from ibuprofen when your body's running on empty.
Post-gastro grocery runs are an adventure in self-restraint, where fruits wrestle with chocolates for a spot in your cart, and kefir stands defiant against a battalion of Ben & Jerry's. In this episode, I offer up my personal take on the seesaw of healthy eating and comfort food cravings, highlighting the unsung heroes of recovery: dioralite, fermented foods, and prebiotics. We'll explore how to bounce back with your diet and stress management without sacrificing the soul-soothing indulgences that make life just a tad sweeter. So, buckle up for a candid ride through the trials, tribulations, and triumphs of gastroenteritis recovery.
Please consider helping me out, I'd seriously super appreciate it! <3
