Re: Re: IBS resolves with colostrum & probiotics

[Guest guest]

I have taken several different brands over the years and the key really is that

they are the refrigerated kind because that has live organisms rather than dried

and that they have at least 6 strains. I dont get the ones designed just for

digestion because i get systemic overgrowth so want the more broad spectrum

product. Right now I am using the Jarrow Original 6 strain which I found at

Whole Foods. Most brands recommend one capsule three times a day with meals. To

start I take 4 times the recommended dose (4 capsules with each meal) then when

my symptoms settle down I go to double the dose.

I have gone on and off it over the years because it is expensive. The Synertek

colostrum powder is $65 but it lasts a long time, at least four months. I take

their recommended dose of 1/4 teaspoon 3 times a day. The probiotics are usually

about $25 per bottle and that lasts about a month depending which dosage you are

on.

I was concerned about how the colostrum company was taking colostrum from

newborn calves but the way they describe it and how much they harvest there is

plenty left over for the calf.

It takes about six weeks to get things settled down when I start but once I'm

stable I don't get gas or cramps and bowel movements are quick and no big deal.

Also before I started doing this I felt I'll and nauseous after every meal. That

went away with this treatment. It hasn't solved my pain or fatigue or immune

system issues but it is at least one less thing to deal with. Before starting

this I was pretty much home bound because of my IBS.

Marti, I'm not trimming this so people can see the poster's question.

keep going off it because it is expensive but it always works. The approach was

That is interesting information. Can you tell us what brand of probiotic you

take and at what dose?
