massive doses of probiotics (was: Dates OK? and Arthritis)

[Guest guest]

>>You have to add

massive doses of good bacteria to get them to colonize -- and then you have to

maintain them. But you can't just eat maintenance doses of probiotics (kefir,

sauerkraut or over the counter probiotics) if the yeast has grown out of

control. You have to take very high doses for a while until the yeast is under control

-- then you can just do the maintenance dose. <<

Ann Marie,

How much is a massive dose? I take 2-4 capsules

of Primal Defense Ultra per day. I’d take more, but this stuff is

expensive!

And what candida diet protocol did you

follow? The reason I’m planning on starting the GAPS diet is because I’ve

been bloated for several years now and I’m pretty sure it’s due to

candida overgrowth. I have no other symptoms other than occasional external vaginal

itch when I eat too many simple sugars and some gas with certain foods. I do

take digestive enzymes and betaine HCl with every meal so it’s possible

that all foods make me gassy and the enzymes and HCl take care of most of it.

But mostly, I think starches are my main issue.
