Day 128 Thoughts on Enteric Coated Capsules

Not a fan. The ten days of enteric coated capsules was not good for me. I noticed a lot of fatigue mid-day when taking the capsules in the morning. My inflammation was coming back and was particularly noticeable after my fast runs. Achilles was starting to bother me and calf pain I have not had the last four months returned.  Worst of all I have a new site of rosacea at the boundary of my lips at my philtrum. This is totally new and while not bad is very concerning for me. We have a stomach filled with acid for a reason and part of that reason is very likely to keep acid sensitive bacteria from colonizing the small intestines. 

I wanted to try the enteric coating because clinicians with far more experience than myself have reported positive effects, but for whatever reason it is not for me. I have started using the old capsules and will be pacing a tarahumara runner this weekend at a race in Arizona. We will see if I can get back on track.

Interestingly, still running well but I feel like I have slowed in my progress. Sugar cravings were also returning. In total feel like this experiment was a failure and I would have been better just staying with the original capsules. Could be possible that the material is approaching an expiration period in the ultra freezer or that I am becoming insensitive to the effects. Time will tell. Ordered another uBiome kit and will test to see what the assay is looking like after four months +.

 

This is a fast training run for me but was followed by old familiar aches and pains.

"This is your last chance. After this, there is no turning back. You take the blue pill—the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill—you stay in Wonderland, and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes. Remember: all I'm offering is the truth. Nothing more." - Morpheus
