I still get it sometimes, but the correlation with swimming seems to be less significant for me now. Maybe as my swimming technique has improved I am swallowing less water. Or maybe something else has caused my gas. For instance, I used to take a whey protein supplement on a daily basis. But I stopped doing that a few months ago. My gas issue might have been with the excess protein rather than pool water. Sorry I can't help you with any other research. Good luck!Scott Cannonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01876897618212734054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1801527259880503861.post-52054821810150253052012-04-10T04:11:29.233-04:002012-04-10T04:11:29.233-04:00Hi - I read this with interest, as I am looking in...Hi - I read this with interest, as I am looking into info on the same. I have established (via DNA stool test, Metametrix) that I have low level of good bacteria. I swim in a chlorinated pool 3x per week. I might have had a low level of good bacteria without the swimming too - I had an undiagnosed gluten issue for a long time. Probiotics has not helped. Have you come any further in your research on chlorine and gut health? Many thanks.ETnoreply@blogger.com
