People often panic when they have, what they perceive is, a setback. Setbacks can be many things: inflammation response to spicy food, vagus nerve autonomic response to die off toxins (telling your gut to purge), a more direct die off response, a bit of fructose malabsorption, a small histamine reaction, or maybe even a small setback from the original pathogenic infection (SIBO\/SIFO). None of these things are likely going to last very long.<\/p>\n

Several of these responses are much more sensitive when you don’t get enough sleep, are stressed, fatigued, menstruating, etc.\u00a0 So get a few good nights sleep, get a little exercise, eat very carefully, and just continue. Unless the worsening symptoms lasts for more than 4 days don’t assume a microbial setback.<\/p>\n

Here is what normal progress looks like during the first 90 days. The blue bars are the daily progress, the red line is the 7 day average. Note how even large setbacks don’t mean much over a week or more.<\/p>\n

As long as you stay in the “kill” phase, or on maintenance, you shouldn’t have major setbacks. But if you do think you’ve had a major setback, then just go back to the “kill phase” for a couple of weeks. If you’ve had SIBO or SIFO for many years or after several bouts of antibiotics and\/or antifungals then you may actually have an actual setback or two.\u00a0 Again, don’t panic.<\/p>\n
