Love probiotics! I hope this isn’t a ploy for the feds to regulate yogurt.
they were talking about giving the patient worms or worm eggs
Problem with taking a lot of iron is that taking a dump is like trying to send a boulder out through a straw.
Probiotics are excellent.
Doctors used to use them when they first started using penicillin because they knew “antibiotics” killed off both good and bad gut bacteria.
However the prescription of probiotics with antibiotics fell out of the normal protocol. They are not technically ‘prescription’ so insurance doesn’t cover them, so they aren’t prescribed by doctors.
The fact people don’t replenish their gi trat with good bacteria is a very big cause of medical problems today, especially digestive problems.
1. Another key for probiotic effectiveness is getting them to survive the low pH of the stomach; they only help you in the intestines if they’re ALIVE when they get there —look for probiotics that come in ENTERIC capsule coatings.
2. If the probiotic comes in naked tablet, don’t chew it up —less will survive that way.
3. Try to take the probiotic with yogurt, keifer, saurkraut or Kombucha.
4. The CFU count on the label is accurate only at the time of MANUFACURE —it was shipped in a hot truck and sat on a shelf for some weeks @ RT, so the CFU count is not even 10% of what’s claimed, usually. Consider buying refrigerated probiotics, and refrigerate yours.
5. Licorice and slippery elm are good 2 think about
IBS all the time, no one seems to notice.
