Title: Do you all take probiotics?


NJO - November 14, 2005 09:35 PM (GMT)
I have been for sometime now and recently I had to order a new brand, so I tried it today and hope it will help the tummy. It is enteric coated to disolve in the intestines.

I think a lot of us have IBS/fibro so any advice is welcome. I think the sinus thing made me not sleep comfortably and I started getting aches and sore spots and then the IBS started. I am so agravated at being down...I want to do things ,not just laze around all day!

Jo, guess I was blessed with a cast iron stomach, nothing bothers it, and I know that doesn't help, but I am well acquainted with that lay around all day feeling tired after the least little exertion, and THAT stinks! Do you take just plain vitamin D? I started taking that Saturday and am using 800 mg a day along with the D in my calcium. Total is 1000, and I found it made me - now don't you laugh :lol: happier. I think it helps with the blues we get in the winter time, but don't quote me on that.

:P Marti

I wouldn't dare laugh, Marti! I think it's great to feel happier...vitamin D...good to know.

I have tried several different kinds of probiotics and none of them seem to agree with me. Give me indigestion!! :o

Jo, the digestive enzymes I use have probiotics in them. I have absolutely no digestive problems any longer and I attribute that to the enzymes, however, to save money, I also tried a few brands that bothered me so I stick with my favorite ones. They're worth it to me.

What brand do you use Susanne? I'll order some...I just have the ones from Wal-Mart...tasty but probably not so good a quality.

I use these, Jo.

I know they're expensive but to me they are worth their weight in gold. And for new customers, you can try them for 30 days with a money back gaurantee.

Thanks, I will sure try these...stay safe through this weather...this is the same system as pass through here that will affect you all.

Hi Jo...I do take probiotics after being steered in that direction by Susanne and I am diligent about taking them since I've been on antibiotics. Some docs mention to include the probiotics and others still think it's a bunch of bunk!! Also take digestive enzymes, yes, Susanne as well!!!

:D Gwen

Good for you, Gwen. I like it when all my reading does good for more than just me. I hope these things are making an improvement in your life. :)
