N=1. I had various digestion problems, probably due to gut flora imbalances. After several years of trying to fix the problem with diet changes suggested by my doctor (more fiber), I traveled abroad and came home with a very nasty food borne illness.

After one Z-pack and several days of being "backed up", my gut was suddenly back to normal and has been fine since.

Rebooting fixes so many problems.

Just don't reboot every year, or multiple times per year.

You can cause worse issues than you started with!

Can you explain Z pack and backed up?

"Z-pak" is a dosage of the antibiotic Zithromax, or Azithromycin, taken as a "pack" of pills over the course of 5 or more days.

I'm guessing backed up means constipated
