questions about Lactobacillus acidophilus

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

First time poster .........although I did post about an hour ago but can't find

my post. Hopefully this will not be a duplicate.

I have had Colitis for about three years now. I am on Asacol and Prednisone with

the problems only getting worse so I decided to take my health into my own hands

and found the SCD Diet which I started two days ago and I found this board which

will hopefully be a great source of information for me as it has been already.

Ok I am lactose intolerant which I see a lot of you all are. I also know that to

get my gut better I will need to take probiotics.

I have tried the SCD Diet legal...SCdophilus, Natren Megadophilous and a couple

other brands of Lactobacillus Acidophilus. All before trying the SCD Diet.

I cannot tolerate lactobacillus Acidophilus even in small amounts (like a pinch

of it.) I get stomach pain, gas, bloating, more diarrhea.

My question is can a person be allergic to just Lactobacillus Acidophilus ?

Or is this what a person with such an out of whack gut will experience

and they need to start small and go very slow ?

Just don't want to wreck my gut any more than it already is.

Any help will certainly be appreciated and I know that I can not be starting

probiotics right now that I should wait at least a couple weeks.....if I read

everything right.

Thank you,
