Probiotics

[pnltbox27]

what are they and how do you know if you need them. ive seen them mentioned before and was just curious

They are good bacteria for the digestive tract.

If there is not enough good bacteria, then you will allow candida to overgrow.

Your system needs balance. I think almost anyone would benefit from taking them.

Go to walgreens and pick up Nature Made Acidophilus pills. Take 2 a day. Also Threelac is very good, but you have to order online.

I use Jarro-Dophilus from Whole Foods. It is great. I have noticed a lot less gas or irritation issues from normal non-allergic foods (onions, garlic, alcohol, etc) & also my body gets rid of gluten alot faster than it did before. My post-gluten symptoms used to last 3-4 days & now (depending on how bad it was) i am feeling better the next morning. My Chiropractor recommended 1 2x a day.

I'm now on the probiotics and they really make a big difference. I also use the digestive enzymes (I take one whenever I eat anything). The brand my doctor recommended was Ortho Molecular - it does not need to be kept in the fridge like some probiotics do. He's also got me on OrthoMega (fish oil), Floristor, Vitamin E, Fiber and calcium.

I tried probiotics, and had severe diarrhea and cramping for almost a week. I tried Jamieson (I think it was) Acidophilus, which is gluten and casein free (I even called to double check).

I wanted to stay on them, but I was so sick that after 2 days I had to stop.

Anyone else here have this problem?
