Thanks for this article link. I got rid of parasites and yeast

overgrowth but I think I still have leaky gut. I still have chemical

sensitivities and many food intolerances. I got very sick when taking

probiotics. The probiotics did have acidophilus in them. I still

don't know how to get rid of the leaky gut though.

Are you taking digestive enzymes? I would try a broad-spectrum enzyme.

My mom has a pretty bad leaky gut from years of indigestion (I think her

body quick making digestive enzymes), long-term antibiotic use, and other

things. She takes 2 enzymes with first bite of her every meal, and things

are improving gradually. There are stronger enzymes out there that you can

try, but always start at a lower dose like 1/4 of the recommended dose.

Big companies send out free samples: Enzymetica, Houston Enzymes, etc.

I used to take Digest Gold with every meal then I quit because it had

a little lactobacillus in it and was having major problems with

probiotics. I just recently tried some enzymes for about 2 weeks and

did not notice any improvements at all. Enzymedica is supposed to be

changing their Digest Gold to not have the lactobacillus early 2009.

Hi, Christie,

Did you try taking more enzymes? Which brand did you try? My mom has to take

2 (sorry I can't remember the brand right now).

How about Betaine HCl?

I just read that to heal the gut, following is helpful: omega 3, vitamin D,

glutamine, magnesium, zinc.

I'm currently taking something called GI Revive (my nutritionist recommended

it)

..

ml

The link is just for looking at the ingredients. I buy it from my

nutritionist. I dissolve 1 tsp of the powder in 4 oz of water and drink it

on an empty stomach. It has a pleasant, herby taste. I've only been taking

it for 2 days, so I can't tell you if it works, but my stomach and colon

feels " better. "

L-Glutamine is good for leaky gut, I think that's the main treatment

from what I've read. I just started it. They say it takes just 5 days

to fix the gut lining, which renews itself every 14 hours. I read to

take 5-10 mg/day but I don't know how long to take it or what the best

dose is. Not sure how long it takes to feel better.

Probiotics were causing me to have diarrhea. Started slowing then

progessed and I lost a lot of weight and even blacked out. Through

process of elimination of foods and supplements I figured out it was

the probiotics. After stopping them I gained a healthy 15lbs back. I

am 36 and had gone down to 90 and had almost no healthy fat on me.

L-glutamine is the major amino acid in milk and whey. If one uses whey

they don't need supplemental l-glutamine IMO.

Except for what is in SomaLife I guess?

Yes Sol, SomaLife takes advantage of l-glutamine's property of being a

synergistic trigger for HGH release, rather than using it as a

supplemental amino acid. The synergy would not be obtained without

taking the pure l-glutamine with those other amino acid triggers. The

amount of l-glutamine in SomaLife is only around 3/4 of a gram to do

that, while whey contains 5 grams or so l-glutamine per dose.

Christie - did you start the probiotics slowly? If you start at a high dose

it can cause diarrhea and gas. You might've been allergic/sensitive to a

certain strain in whatever you were taking.

My doctor mentioned that I may be sensitive to certain strains but I

tried ones like HMF Intensive by Genestra and then Klaire Labs 25

billion. When I took a Renew Life one it was mainly bifidus and I did

not have the problem. Since I finally gained weight back I have not

tried more probiotics except something called Lactobacillus Sporogenes

which is supposed to resist degradation by stomach acid. I don't know

if it is " working " but it doesn't cause diarrhea.

Start slowly - not sure what I started with, it was what the doctor

recommended. One of the probiotics was 25 billion I believe..
