The leaky gut generally heals within 2-3 weeks after the excessive bacteria within the small intestine have been reduced by inulin or rifaximin.

I’ve never needed to change the inulin dose during or after antibiotics if the dose of inulin was effective prior to the antibiotics. Nemechek Blue Inulin can be purchased here at a 10% discount for members of the Nemechek Navigator.n

Your concerns are valid because parents often find it challenging to witness their children struggle. Understanding WHY the Awakening can be disruptive can alleviate the worries because parents often view it as their child is regressing when it is just the first phase on the road to recovery. To get neurological recovery, we first need to “wake” your kids up from the sedating effects of propionic acid. We do that by eliminating bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine. Once the sedating propionic acid dissipates from their system, the true extent of the severity of their ANS dysfunction and neurological impairment is revealed. The children are not worse; they are finally awake and free of the chemical effects of propionic acid. Over the next 4-8 weeks, as inflammation continues to be lowered from the oils, things will improve, and your child will begin to recover.

The anxiety, aggression, and hyperactivity noted by parents are then mistakenly being called a “second awakening” when in fact it is often an abnormal reaction when too much inulin is given. Members of the Nemechek Navigator can purchase Nemechek Blue inulin here at a 10% discount.
