Yeeeaaaahh, final update over here. Pretty sure it was a stomach flu. The stomach issues lasted a good, well, they're still going on actually. But it's getting better. Wife woke up this morning with the same thing, too.
I totally noticed this as well. The drunk felt a lot looser, body-wise. Very weird.
In my case, symptomless at first, but then a few hours after consuming the micro, really bad gas pains and "discomfort" in my intestines. I had some success straining micro using a nylon stocking the same way I do medium grind, which made my tummy happier. When you strain micro that way, most of it passes through the strainer, but there is some gritty stuff that gets filtered out, which is apparently the cause of my issues.
When I first started drinking kava I used to drink alcohol regularly too. Never on the same day but one evening kava, next evening alcohol. I rarely had any problems with that. A few times I got the red blotchiness which I think was the alcohol reacting with the kava that was in my system from the previous night. The other issue was after a few nights of alcohol I would go back to kava and get less effects, I had to build up my levels again. I haven't drunk alcohol for a while now and don't even get the cravings anymore so it's not an issue.
I HAD all but stopped drinking alcohol...... I've just been on a family holiday to Turkey all-inclusive and had to get my money's worth!
Funny how you can sometimes do that when you are on holiday. It's to do with being less stressed apparently. Also you don't have to be up at a certain time in the morning. I think holidays may be my one problem area. My wife has come right round to the idea of me drinking kava instead of alcohol but desperately doesn't want me to take it through customs on the way out. I don't know whether I will try and go without anything, I am on holiday after all, or whether I'll partake of a few glasses of something, I am on holiday after all ;-)
I agree with the less stressed! I have a 4yr old and a 14yr old and both of them were happy to stay in bed until 10am (2hrs in front in turkey) That was a god send i'll tell ya! To be fair though we were back in the room by 11pm latest which also helps!
