Which probiotic do you recommend?

[Guest guest]

I recently had a stool test and got the results from the doctor today. He said

that I have ZERO good bacteria Lactobacillus in my intestines. He wants me to

take a minimum of 30 Billion a day. I've been taking Theralac (illegal, I know)

but am surprised that I still have ZERO Lactobacillus in me. Makes no sense.

The doctor also said that I do not have sufficient absorption, especially of

vegetables and carbs. He said I need to take an enzyme digest BEFORE I eat to

help with digestion. I've been taking Digest Gold which is SCD compliant. Still

I'm not getting efficient absorption. Wonder why that is?

I'm waiting for the results of my Celiac Sprue test from my GI doctor which I

suppose might explain why I'm not getting good absorption of vegetables and

carbs if it shows I have Celiac Disease.

Anyway, I'm trying to figure out which of the two Lactobacillus I should order

that are SCD compliant. One is from Klaire Labs and the other is Kirkman Labs.

Could someone here advice me what they feel would be my best option of the two?

Or, if there is another one that you feel might be a better option for me,

please feel free to share with me.

I suspect I'm going to find out I have Celiac Disease. I have Lyme Disease and

a big percentage of Lyme patients have Celiac Disease. I really hope I don't

have it, but considering how much pain I've been in over the past two months I

would not be surprised.

Any comments, suggestions and feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

You should be eating lactofermented foods. There are a lot more bacteria in

there than a supplement.

On the SCD we starve all bacteria and since we can't do prebiotics as that will

MADLY feed the bad bugs the probiotics have trouble implanting in our diseased

guts.

Acidophilous will implant some and so will Lacto Plantarum (spelling?) that is

in sauerkraut.

Start there and don't overly concern yourself with test results.

Just stick to the SCD.

My gut still shows pathetic numbers (zero for that matter)

But I am better than I have ever been in my life!!

Jodi,

I've read posts at a SCD board (can't remember which) about people who were

concerned about getting an overgrowth of good bacteria. So that isn't really an

issue then?

Do the probiotics recommended on the pecanbread site need doc authorization? I

just called Klaire labs and they said that they need doctors authorization...
