I followed the spiritual advice of Dr. Zelensky for this 1-2 punch, and if I can do this anyone can: (1) Severe case of food poisoning, salmonella, cdiff or e coli, who knows, but I had bloody "dire-rear" and vomiting or five days. Treated at home. After a week, digestive system began to settle down, and worked back to normal after 2 weeks. I used a mix of East West protocols, e.g. oilof oregano, triphala, kefir, real yogurt, pedialyte, others. Refused to go to ER. (2) Pancreatitis - the most exruciating pain, entire body (back, chest, stomach) with projectile vomiting. Thought it was appendicitis, blockage, heart attack, liver/gall stone, nope, another case of food poisoning or flare up of original one, which often causes inflamed gall bladder / pancreatitis. Did think during this 8 hour episode I should give in and go to ER. I resisted.
#1 likely caused #2 as those bugs can invade organs (gall bladder-> biliary pancreatiits) and stay. Oil of Oregano and other interventions fix that. I stopped the protocol I was using too soon. I felt better too quickly.
Staying away from caffeine, sugar and alcohol, not that I did much of the latter. All home cooked foods, fresh turmeric, ginger, gooseberry powder, etc. etc.Pancreas beginning to handle carbs better. Now handling fats just fine. Proteins a bit rough (pancreatic enzymes must be low) but getting better.
I realized that had I gone to the ER, a battery of tests costing tens of thousands would have been done, and the bottom line would be the same: hydrate, light foods, bed rest, not much else we can do -- antibiotics which further decimate the gut -- and worst case, *they would have removed the gall baldder, that's what they're doing for food poisoning now". They say - "Your test results show your gall bladder is inflamed/useless and we need to remove it or you will die". We say: "Gall bladders heal, they always did and always will. "
Food poisoning can and often screws up ALL the glands/organs involved with digestive system enzymes - stomach lining, gall bladder, pancreas, small intestine...so all those numbers would have been off, and they could recommend anything they chose, pick the highest costing "surgincal intervention" with outcomes that forces you to ever be on their doorsteps.
What else? I got my sorry butt out of bed every day, and continued to do all the chores, work from home, even though often doubled over. You up your game, you have no fear that you can do it yourself, you RESIST the medical mafia.
Take away: gut health is the biggest determinant of overall health. Take care of your "citadel". Keep it healthy and full of good bugs.
Thank you Dr. "Zev" Zelensky for that mantra - you continue to heal though gone.
