Herx effect from colostrum supplements
I received some Symbiotics colostrum supplements and began them on Saturday. I read many places that I could benefit from these and my IBS-C symptoms. I began noticing that I felt worse and by yesterday I knew something was up. I did not even know that you could experience die-off from colostrum, but after some more reading yesterday, I learned otherwise and it's actually common. I had experienced die off before from coconut oil but quit taking it so I know I interrupted the healing process. Well this time, I've noticed that I felt achey all over, had a sore throat, brain fog, very tired, swollen belly and very constipated, lots of hiccups (not sure if this is die off?), swollen gums. I had a bm this morning but it wasn't much at all. Even after taking psyllium last night, mag citrate, and digestive enzymes, it wasn't enough to make me feel much better.
So, my question is, what can I expect now and how will I know when this is ending? Will I feel better immediately, what about my belly and constipation?
