Thank you I will have to go back and get that checked as well.

The doc wasn't sure what was up, but my blood cell count was kind of high and my lower gut was bloated...and hurt...but i didn't have a temp. At first he thought it may be my appendix....but when he pocket that part i was ok.

So he put me on a low level antibiotic right away and did a basic blood test.

Turns out I did or do have some sort of infection…white blood cells were a little high.
But more importantly my sodium levels were super low! He screamed at me for trying to kill myself!
And ordered me to increase my salt intake.

So now it’s been what two three weeks…my gut is flatter I feel better….and I’m drinking 1 quart of Gatorade per day mixed 50/50 with water.
And as soon as this light course of antibiotics is done with I will be taking probiotics.
It’s truly amazing how important stomach health is to our well being and our work outs.
