Wow! So it's kind of like a yeast infection in your gut...crazy and as the article states, pretty dangerous...imagine driving or just going to work and having that happen.

And they think antibiotics caused this?? Yikes... :o

Yes, 'just' oral antibiotics can weaken your immune system and throw your gut critters far, far out of whack. Plus Texans can be huge*, imagine how much refined carbs the guy was dumping in his 'fermentation tank.'

Weird or what?
