Summary
Island 29989 had a gut intolerance that began after antibiotic use and a campylobacter infection. It mostly settled after two years, but food poisoning made everything worse again, and the last two months brought a further decline with insomnia starting. In July 2026 they started rifaximin, with little hope it would help.
