Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Sky and !! > My dad is going to India next week and I need to know how many capsules of the scdophilus 10 billion cfu he can have daily. It only says to take one. I think we get more just when we eat yoghurt. So how many should he take? Very cool about going to India (I would love to go too? Maybe pack me in your SCD suitcase? LOL) I would say- you want to try and get in about 3 of those capsules in daily. Spread it out! Thing is- has he tried this probiotic at this strength?? You do not want him to try any new kind of probiotic (especially at the stronger strength) the first time on a trip. That is a recipe for disaster IMO! Probiotic rich foods are ideal as that has loads more good bacteria than supplements. But, you do what you can when you travel! > This time last year my dad was over there for a religious festival but had to come back early because he was so sick. Then 3 weeks later he went back over to a ayurvedic clinic to try and help his digestion as a last resort because he feeling so sick. He was meant to be there for 7 weeks lasted a week. What a bummer!! > A month later I found the book BTVC. Dad worked out why he has been so sick in india both times. To avoid gluten he was living on rice and potatoes thats all he ate. So he will be doing things differently this time. OMG, I have done the same exact thing LOL. What would we do without the book coming into our lives? Is there a way for him to avoid a lot of spice mixtures? > He started scd in Jan. Low Dose Naltrexone in May and he changed his thyroid medication over to desiccated thyroid last month. He thinks the thyroid medication which has t3 in it has done wonders for his stomach. He has not put on any weight since starting on his health kick but at least now he does not feel like he is dying. > I would just like to say thanks to everyone for all the information over the last 10 months. I am so happy the desiccated Thyroid is helping him! I am thrilled he has turned a page!! Stay strong, have fun, keep healthy!! Report to us how the trip went!

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Jodi Thanks for the info. I will definitely make him start taking the probiotic tomorrow. I am hoping I do not get another phone call saying that my dad needs to go to hospital like I did last time he was in India. I cried all day I was that worried about him. Breaking the vicious cycle and Stop the Thyroid Madness are the 2 books we live by. I just had my thyroid tested and my t4 is extremely low and my t3 is below mid range. So I have started taking thyroid medication. I already have more energy. I absolutely love this diet and I am glad I started it when my dad did. I do cheat sometimes, but not with gluten or lactose. I thought I would start before I got sick and the amount of auto-immune diseases in my family there is a good chance of that. I already have the celiac gene.

Guest guest Posted September 27, 2009 Report Share Posted September 27, 2009 Hi Sky.. Those books are awesome. So is Peatfiled's book on Thyroid. Good stuff. About the probiotic.. Make sure you work up to the dosage. Don't just whammo- give him a higher dosage capsule. When is his trip? How much does he currently take? Calculate that with how much is in the new probiotic and gradually work up to it as you don't want him to react before a trip. Stay on the safe side. Probiotics are a powerful thing!
