Patient after taking one week of antibiotic became reactive to many foods and supplements with reflux. Reflux never happened in her life. She’s now in her mid-60s and now I am working with her on rebuilding the gut, probiotics and fermented foods, slowly introducing supplements and food as she has symptoms and labs through tests of methylation and mitochondrial dysfunction and fatigue, anxiety and mood issues. She has reflux to oral glutathione capsules and vitamin K2 capsules, fine with liposomal glutathione, and Thorne K2. Any ideas why?

Chris Kresser: Well, clearly the reflux is related to the antibiotics and so I would just really focus on normalizing her gut and sometimes it’s just a question of time. I mean you can support with probiotics, bone broth, things like that. But sometimes people just need a bit of time and a simple diet until they hit reset. And then you’ll be able to start doing some of the other stuff that needs to be done after that.
