Sunday 60 minutes did a piece on the effectiveness of probiotics, and basically concluded that they really dont live up to the marketing hype. I dont know abt the general public but I can attest as a DSer and the wife of one, probiotics help us!!!! When my husband doesnt take his for a few days...

Yes maam!! I am revision from sleeve to DS, and he's a full DS! It was during my research of revising to the DS that I learned it was considered a fantastic option to reverse diabetes. I suggested he learn more about it bc he chronically suffered from diabetes. He was a big guy but not...

Thank you all for the tips!!!!! It's like I'd forgotten what or how to eat in order to get back on track. southernlady ull be happy to know the hubby returned the Alli without me asking! He's a DS vet as well and he was like "you just wasted $40 when u can do this for free! Uve already paid for...

So Ive gained 15 pounds ...and counting! I cant seem to figure out how to reset and get back on track. It's like I cant remember the basics of the DS and what to eat , or not. Im in a fog, but so desperate to lose the weight that I bought Alli today. I have no clue what will happen, or if it...

On another note, it was confirmed that i have the flu..ive been trying to fight it off since Christmas night. Needless to say, Ive lost 3 pounds...all water I know. But hell, 2 more days of this and I may get to temporarily see Onederland. Ive gotta find some laughter in this misery :p

First...thank you all for the suggestions..even though I intellectually knew what to do, i needed to see it in black and white. JackieOnLine for those of us who've had the DS, if I eat SB's menu, constipation is the last of my worries. Fat is our frenemy :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

Honestly, I eat wayyyy more bad carbs and sugar than I should, lately. I need a reset...in the worse way.

Hi all! Happy Holidays!!! It's been a while since I last posted, but I really need some advice. 2 1/2 years ago I had a revision from VSG to DS. Overall, the results have been great...Ive lost over 60 pounds and the only complaint I have is that my booty is now just wide and square. No pop at...

southernlady and Settledownnow u may be on to something...I've noticed it's worse after a high fat dessert treat or if i had a high fat protein meal with a glass of wine...especially after wine. Im a waterfall the next day!!!! And Imodium does nothing

Thanks all for the replie and advice. It's actually not so much a problem with milk, because I consume very little of that directly. But i eat alot of ...A LOT...of heavy creams and butter, oh and cheese. So the lactaid tablets help stave off the gas. But i do realize if i take more than 2 in...

I use Lactaid fast acting pills alot ..they really help with gas bc I'm apparently Ive become lactose intolerant since my Ds and lot of things I eat that have hidden dairy. But I've noticed when I take a little extra, 3 instead of 2, or if Ive had something sweet, I get bad diarrhea!! Does...

So sorry I didn't reply. Im not on here as often!! My apologies..yes that's the one. I also like one named foftify. When I i initially started, I went through 2 bottles very fast doing 2x in the AM and 2x in the PM. But it helped! Now I just do 2x in the evening and it works well. If I feel out...

I went through this a few months back, posted here, and found that a strong probiotics does wonders!! I found one that has 50billion per dose at Walmart, and took a double dose 2x a day for about a week, but saw results within the first 2 days!!! Now i take my probiotics daily!! If im gassy now...

Yes ma'am

YesYesssss

It's something the average person doesn't think about, but means everything to me. Since my revision, I'm flying for the first time. Not only did I NOT need an extender, but actually had room left over on the belt! The first leg of my trip, I was happy with the little smidgen of belt that was...

I know this is an old post, but I have to reply. Hubby and I visited friends and we insisted on staying in a hotel room. We described our situation as Ibs and we would be uncomfortable staying in your home. Our friends were a little hurt, but understanding

You're absolutely right. Those who choose it are sold on it and don't know differently. It's not unless they stumble upon this board that they learn differently

As always, thank you ladies! @DianaCox and @southernlady ....very helpful and insightful. One more question, do either of you do a mix based on "needs"? For example one that would help with digestion then one for vaginal flora? Or are those labels more for marketing purposes?

Honey, I understand your pain!!! My hubs, who also had the DS, was so patient with my gas issues. His gas has been under control, but mine was just awful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! However, since I first posted this, I started the probiotics, and it has made a huge difference. The only problems I had were...
