Re:Goats Yoghurt and Pro-biotics

[Guest guest]

, It sounds like you have hte same kind of IBS I do: mixed. That is,

C sometimes, D sometimes and once in a very great while, in

between. I'm much more stable now after some months on the diet,

but in the bad old days I could lurch back and forth several times in one

day even.

That seems odd that they'd tell you you have an overgrowth of good

bacteria! I THINK you should still do some probiotics, though,

because seems like you need as many good as possible to help crowd out

the bad and repopulate correctly as the died does the baddies

in.

I have only just got my bms back on track and had to use Digestive

enzymes to get a balance as I lurched from C to D constantly, though that

could also be because of the huge gallbladder stone which now has to be

removed.

Yes,

you can get an overgrowth of “good” or beneficial bacteria just as

you can with the “bad”. I came across discussions of

this in the medical literature occasionally during the past six years I’ve

been researching nutrition and microbiology… In some instances

antibiotics were required to get L. Acidophilus under control again. Remember

that our immune systems are part of keeping our gut ecology balanced, and when

our immune systems are overwhelmed dealing with other issues, then some microorganisms

take advantage and flourish.

It

just means you are careful with how you supplement probiotics. Less is

better in most cases. You want the gut ecology to stabilize, get back

into balance, improve your immune system.

What tests do you all use to find out what is going on in your guts? I read

about the Organic Acid Test, but that is all so far. I don't know what

probiotics are helping or hurting at this point, so I think it's time to find

out. Sorry if this is posted somewhere else and a repeat. Thanks,
