Guest guest Posted November 3, 2010 Report Share Posted November 3, 2010 While I am not an expert on this, I do know that certain probiotics are beneficial for certain conditions. L. Infantis has demonstrated efficacy in reducing the symptoms of IBS. Because of my training in research. I always read and evaluate the original studies that this kind of data are derived from. One does have to be careful. If you do eat too much kimchee for example, you are increasing your sodium intake, which may have other health consequences Balance in one's diet to me means that I incorporate whole, fresh foods with some fermented, preserved, and raw. Too much of anything is too much and long term may prove unhealthy. I like sprouts because with minimal fuss I have a healthy and tasty food that has tremendous health properties. Last night I had two bowls of mixed sprouts dosed with balsamic (there I go again with the vinegar!) heaven! n Rollings, PhD NJ Licensed Psychologist #4686 www.DrnRollings.com 908-500-7295 Sent from my IPod Touch On Nov 3, 2010, at 11:05 AM, " Eva Noble " <ernoble@...> wrote: > Ok guys, > > I have one for ya'll to read. , I am especially interested in your opinion on this particular article, but I would love to hear everyone's thoughts on this. I love my probiotics, but have not as yet delved into Kim Chi.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2010 Report Share Posted December 10, 2010 Wow! Did I write this? Forget about any of these freeze dried Probiotics.... if you can't make your own kefir buy the product available at the stores that they call " Kefir " it's not really kefir but it is a good kefir like product that is better than the freeze dried.... if your more ambitious make your own kefir Hello Eve and n and everyone else... http://caloriecount.about.com/blog/partners/power-probiotics-b374826 extensive trial and error, was that Natren's probiotics worked and other brands of probiotics were likely to have either no effect, or produce a worsening of symptoms.it's a good article about probiotics but it doesn't mention kefir and kefir is thousands of times more powerful than yogurt..Yogurt has temporary benificial effects on the gut by feeding and cleaning good bacteria, keeping a healthy benificial bacterial climate; but, yogurts benificial effects are transitory, you eat some yogurt, you get some benefits but when the yogurt is gone the benefits stop. Kefir does more and is more....besides feeding and cleaning the gut kefir re-colonizes the gut with many beneficial kefir bacteria and yeasts and this is something that only kefir made at home from a kefir culture can do..drinking real kefir is also the only method I know of able to change the makeup of bacteria in the gut....it is the symbiotic relationship of the kefir cultured milk that can actually remove bad bacteria from the colon wall and replace it with good bacteria... this change in the ratio of good to bad bacteria can be significant. It stands to reason that a better balance of bacteria in the gut would free the immune system to do other things. The abiltiy of kefir milk to change this ratio is the one thing we are sure of about real kefir made from a colony, The colony actually sends strains of kefir bacteria that sacrafices itself to releases an amino acid that kills bad bacteria on the colon wall,,, the surviving kefir strains now have room to colonized on the colon wall... these new better and more friendly bacteria to our human body can now compete with any of the remaining toxic bacteria for space and for nutrients. The commercial mainstream has a hard time dealing with kefir, there isn't enough money to be made, it's expensive to bottle real kefir with live expanding yeasts in it, They've had focus groups that say most people don't care for the taste... no profit in kefir ... so why bother with studies or research; but, there is a distant echo of the benefits of real kefir...There has been research that indicates real milk kefir can reverse many of the symptoms of IBD, colitis, and other disturbances of the large intestines. I have had ;people who told me that their boils from their MRSA are controlled by their kefir use, along with other smart habits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 Hi all Can anybody give me advice as to the best time of day to take probiotics? I have IBS symptoms and I'm trying to clear candida. I bought some Saccharomyces boulardii from iherb after reading good reports about them. Has anyone else used these before? Should I take with food or on an empty stomach? Should I take in the morning or at night? All it says on the bottle is to take 1 or 2 per day. Thanks for your time Jackie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
