How much probiotics are you all taking?

I'm drinking Kefir at least a few times a week, which is basically probiotic yogurt milk. That's it! It's extremely yummy, and comes in a lot of flavors commercially if that's your bag. You can also make it very easily at home, and cut way down on the added sugars by using stevia. It's also very filling without making you bloaty.

I know this isn't ideal for everyone, because it's not lactose/casein free, but if you're not sensitive to them, it's a great way to get probiotics into your diet without taken another pill.

I'm using Nature's Bounty Chewable Probiotic Acidophilus with Bifidum -- I always take before breakfast and dinner. I don't always remember to do it before lunch and don't seem to take a hit if I forgot occasionally. I do notice my gut gurgle resurfacing if I slack off with them!

I take Culturelle once a day. It is dairy and gluten free, and I have never had any problems with it. I would definitely recommend it!

I alternate three different brands/dosages. I take a 50 billion capsule once or maybe twice a week, then a 10 billion capsule three or four days a week, and a 1 billion bug pearl two or three times a week. First thing in the morning on an empty stomach with at least 8 oz of water. I try to wait at least an hour before eating breakfast, supposedly this improves bug survival rate due to less stomach acid or something like that...

      REESE'S PLANT BASED PEANUTBUTTER CUPS

      By R. M. LOMBARDO · Posted

      Reese's Plant Based PeanutButter Cups are made with non-Gluten Free Oats and only states on the package Dairy Free.  Is it safe for Celiacs or those with Gluten Intolerance issues to consume?  I think Mars is taking a small step in the right direction concerning food allergies and wish they were Gluten Free.

      Abscesses on legs

      By Liquid lunch · Posted

      I had these for years, covered in scars from them. Not had any since I started taking reishi and cordyceps tincture, they’re immune modulators, I think that’s how they work. Most of my other symptoms have also disappeared, I take a treble dose if I get glutened and it’s almost an instant fix, 3 days of mild symptoms instead of 3 weeks of horrible. Might be worth a try, don’t be put off by the caterpillars, I think they’ve found a different way of growing them now.

      Abscesses on legs

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Welcome to the forum, @LookingForAnswers101, I had similar experiences with boil outbreaks in the same areas.  Mine was caused by Candida Albicans and eating a diet too high in sugar and simple carbohydrates.   Candida is a yeast infection, so the antibacterial wash is not going to help.  I had to change my diet to a Paleo diet before it went away.  If I consume high levels of sugar or other simple carbohydrates (rice, corn, dairy, etc.), boils would occur at pressure points like the groin and back of the legs.  Your doctor might be able to prescribe an antifungal medication, but some of those antifungal medications destroy thiamine.  Thiamine is needed to keep fungal and bacterial infections in check.  I took Thiamine in the form Benfotiamine, but TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) will work, too.   Thiamine, and the other B vitamins, especially Niacin and Biotin, along with Vitamin A, Vitamin C, and Vitamin D will help keep skin healthy.  Be sure to address these nutritional deficiencies that occur with Celiac! Ask your doctor to rule out autoimmune hidradenitis suppurativa (HS) and Human Papilloma virus, too.   Hang in there!  You'll get over this rocky patch of the journey!  Best wishes! P. S.  Get checked for Type Two Diabetes as well.  Candida, type two diabetes and a high carbohydrate diet often go together.  A Paleo diet really helps me with my Type Two Diabetes and Candida overgrowth.

      Gluten Free Beer - The Enzymatic Hydrolyzation Process Problem

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      As I mentioned, gluten intolerance encompasses more than just those with celiac disease, and in the past was used more like the term "gluten sensitivity" is used today.
