Re: Is the yogurt or acidophilus more intense?

[Guest guest]

The yogurt generally is more intense than the 3 billion capsules. This sounds

like die off. That, in general, is a good thing, but you may just want to back

off the yogurt for a few days so you feel more comfortable. Epsom salt baths are

good. Get some rest. When you start the yogurt or probiotics again, go slowly.

acidophillus pill a day. I didn't have any significant reaction until a upped

the dosage to twice a day, which was silly I know. Anyways, I was having a lot

more bloating after increasing the dosage so I figured that twice was too much

(duh!) and yesterday didn't have any. So, I had made almond milk yogurt and

decided that today I would try a small amount and work up from there (I only had

a small spoonful, probably no more than a teaspoon). While yesterday was an

above-average day, today was one of my worst days, a lot of weird stomach

movements and gas. And also, the gas was smelly which is not normal for me.

Also, some of my symptoms from the first week, fever-like symptoms and not

having much energy came back tonight. In any case, it occured to me that maybe

the yogurt was more intense than the acidophillus. Is that true? I used 1/8

teaspoon of the GI prostart and I also dripped the yogurt because it was watery,

so maybe that would make the probiotic more concentrated? I'm guessing what I

experienced today is die-off. Should I continue with the yogurt and push

through the die-off, or are die-off symptoms something you should try to avoid?

I'm kind of confused about that...
