I was wondering because I have started giving everyone in the family probiotics and didn't know if I should continue them. Thanks Liz!
are the evil side effects?Mine is an always thing but I'd rather do yogurt and probiotics for life than deal with the evil side effects
Over use of antibiotics can create super bugs. Like the ones that cause C Diff. http://bariatricfacts.org/threads/c-difficile.737/What
are the evil side effects?
Florastor is great stuff. I just had to take a course of clindamycin which gives me diarrhea and can possibly lead to c-diff. I took one Florastor with each dose of antibiotic and some heavy duty probiotic mix between doses and the intestinal distress was kept to a minimum. Florastor is Saccharomyces boulardii. It's a yeast based probiotic and not affected by the antibiotic.
I find that IF I eat clean and make sure I am doing yogurt AND a probiotic every day that my 1-2 trips daily is fine (I do NOT count the two to three times first thing in the morning when I think I am done but wasn't yet and had to sit back down. THAT can go on for about an hour but once I AM done, I may go one more time during the day. And I KNOW when I eat incorrectly, my farts get foul smelling.I will be ok with my 3-5 bathroom trips a day and fowl odor. Started a probiotic today. One that you put in a bottle of water and and drink. Upped my iron and seem to be doing ok with that too. Still no white flour and sugar. "Slipped "on sugar the other day, just to make make sure it causes more trips to bathroom. Oh and the answer is yes. Lol. Gas seems to have deminished quite a bit.
I feel so bad for some of the horror stories I've read here. Sometimes I have thought to myself can there be a revision back to normal???? But for today I'm going to be grateful for my story and few side effects from DS.
