Re: What ails you today?
A delicate issue with consistency at the exhaust following a heavy round of antibiotics that wiped out my good gut bacteria. Yakulting it up like a champion to try and repair the damage, although I've just read an article that is saying red wine, cheese and chocolate are fave foods of a healthy stomach....

Re: What ails you today?
If I take a course of antibiotics I always take probiotics for a few weeks after

Re: What ails you today?
Can't remember the last time I was on antibiotics and normally have a cast iron stomach, so probiotics it is - oh and just eaten a large wedge of Shropshire Blue and crackers just in case it helps.
P.S. I feel much better already

Re: What ails you today?
I thought I was getting hayfever but then I was ill.. Been ill for a week now which is not fun.
A few nights before we left Fuerteventura I was really struggling to eat anything and I've been feeling faint and dizzy (the kind where your eyes struggle to focus) since. Today feels a little better but with less than 4 hours sleep before my first day back at work I still feel like death.

The article is correct.....typically indicative of good all round eating habits and a decent degree of physical activity.

Re: What ails you today?
If only it were that simple, it wasn't a single date tour, there were repeat performances during the previous evening and all during the day - pre-risotto. Tbh that may well have solved my problem as I've been fine today.....StMarks wrote:Deegee in What are you eating wrote:Gammon leftovers risotto and a handful of lidl looky-likey opal fruits..I believe that ^^ is referred to as cause & effect.Deegee wrote:The squitters, I'm not popular in the house right now...

Re: What ails you today?
Tiredness. No idea why but for the last week I've felt drained. Last night I lay on the bed drinking cuppa before going to the gym and I dozed off

Re: What ails you today?
I'm with you there Kwacky
First day home after night shifts, 5 pm and I'm ready for bed. It took me ages to do the groceries as I was just staring blankly at shelves, brain just wouldn't click into gear.

Re: What ails you today?
I have a spot of hayfever too today. Medication is kicking in nicely now though. Might go for a hoon though, I find it stops the symptoms for a while.

Re: What ails you today?
My legs !!!!
Now, I run a fair bit but spending a day hacking round a track certainly does use a few parts of the muscles that I'm not used to.. Yesterday and today have been verging on painful..
The only outcome I can see from this is the need to do more trackdays to strengthen my legs up
