Restore heals the gut, slowly.
I've had yeast problems for over a decade from too many antibiotics and a colonoscopy, because the stuff they give you to drink destroys the microbiome in the intestines. In the last 5 or so months, I had to take a weeks worth of antibiotics because of a UTI. And then I got Giardia from a relative's cats who had it [I scooped the litter box]. I was very, very sick with the Giardia, which is a parasite that imbeds itself into the intestinal wall.So because of that combo, my stomach and intestines were a war zone. I was nauseated alot and had no appetite and was losing weight, especially not good because I am thin. When I did eat, it made me more nauseated and my stomach would gurgle.In short, I began to heal myself by taking saccharomyces boulardii [jarrow brand] which gave me immediate relief from horrible stomach aches. Now I take 2 tablets of SB in the morning and evening and that pretty much eliminates my gas and discomfort.I also take enzymes with each meal, the Pure Synergy brand, which I find to be the best by far.I started doing the above, and taking Restore almost two weeks ago. I started taking the full 1 tsp. or Restore before each meal, but I think that was too much for me as I was feeling a bit odd. So I cut back to 1/2 tsp. before each meal and now things are going well.I also am taking 9-20 grams of collagen peptides each day to help heal the intestinal wall and leaky gut.I am starting to take a fiber supplement [yerba prima] mixed in water twice a day, and am eating oatmeal w/chia in the AM, and eating ground flaxseed.I'm not back to full health yet, as I was not eating right for over 2 months because I couldn't eat properly, my intestinal distress was so bad. But its only been 2 weeks and there is a significant improvement.My excema and itchy patches on my arm and head are starting to heal w/o me putting anything topical on them - [which didn't work anyway as I tried]. My BM's are also getting healthier. There is a scale called the Bristol Scale which has illustrations of the various types of BM's and what is healthy and what isn't. Why this scale isn't more widely known is beyond me. I found out about it from a review of Restore. I'm thrilled to say that mine are now in the healthy range.I will eventually move up to taking 1 tsp. of Restore before each meal. I think that the gut heals slowly and I know that I am on the right track. Restore is a key element to the above.I don't think that there is one thing that cures all, its got to be a combination of things, including lots of fiber and a basically healthy diet. I've been gluten free for about 5 years, so that was eliminated a long time ago, which I know has been beneficial to me.I wanted to share my experience with you so that it might help someone.

"Restoring" my Personality and Energy
It has only been about 2 weeks but I really LOVE this stuff so far. I first heard about it on a Lyme Ninja Radio podcast in 2015 where Mackay Rippey interviewed the creator Dr. Zach Bush. I put it in the back of my mind as something interesting to try but never got around to it. This year, my dad had recurrent bouts of MRSA and he took numerous antibiotics and I wanted to get him something to help clean up his gut so I bought Restore. After a few weeks, he mentioned that he was sleeping better than he has in decades so I figured I would give it a try. I'm not exactly sure what my health issue is -- I have been diagnosed with Chronic Fatigue and Lyme Disease and I got significantly worse after a round of Ciprofloxacin (Fluoroquinolone antibiotic .... Fluoroquinolone Toxicity). I've been through various dietary changes and treatments over the years that have helped but nothing quite returned me to normal yet. However, after trying Restore I noticed that I was getting glimpses of my former level of expression and level of energy ... like my personality was able to better express in full whereas before it was always hampered by fatigue and a low level of brain fog. Even though it has only been about 2 weeks, I was able to have a busier week than I've had in years. I'm only able to take 1/2 teaspoon so far ... if I take too much I get some symptoms, so I am going slow and building my way there over time. I'm truly impressed with my response to this product so far and plan on continuing with it and building up to the full dose! Thanks for creating a helpful product! Note: I take really good care of myself (diet & lifestyle), so that may factor into my quick and positive response.UPDATE: Still going strong 4 months out! I'm up to 3 teaspoons a day and my abilities continue to increase. I also added some mitochondrial support and changed a few other things in my regimen that added additional benefit. I'm the most functional that I have been in about 3 years (!!!) Restore has been one of my game-changing products. Hope it works for other people as well!UPDATE 2019: I stopped taking as much Restore for a while and my health definitely started sinking. I just bumped myself back up to about 3 teaspoons or more a day and it brings back my energy and sense of humor. I'm not thrilled that my body seems to need it so frequently but I am thrilled that SOMETHING gives me my personality back. So if this is my companion for life, then I'm on board.

Great to aid in digestion after going thru menopause.
I started out with 1/8 teaspoon & increased it to 1/2 teaspoon 3 times a day.. that was too much for me.. I have rad that many experience less brain fog.. I am not sure it helps my brain fog.. LOL !!! I decided what works best for me is to take 1 teaspoon in filtered water (it has no flavor so it is just like drinking water) & that seems to work best for me after eating a large meal, which I try not to do often. I actually feel a dull ache in my head for a few days after, but not really a headache.. just a dull feeling. I do notice a difference in my overall energy/well being though when I do take it.. but the dull feeling in my head is a turn off. I usually have to take a Goodies headache packet the next day. I do feel it has helped with my inability to digest food regularly... Since going thru menopause & the drastic change in hormones, it truly affects your digestion. So by adding this to my diet, it has helped me with not looking like I am pregnant after eating a large meal or just what is considered an "average" meal for anyone else. I am not an overeater or overweight, but the drastic change in my digestion since turning 50 & hitting menopause, will make you look for anything to help you thru the discomfort of just eating in general. I rate it 4 stars for myself, just for the dull ache in my head ... but the overall results are pretty darn good. I would recommend to a friend or anyone.. Just start out slow & listen to your body..
