Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 One important question: many of us suffer for Leaky gut syndrome. Nevertheless, among the suggested protocols for CFS, even when lacking of any visible evidence of present bacterias, there is the antibiotic treatment. The literature all over Internet says that among the causes of a leaky gut there is the use of antibiotics.... It's a vortex... What to do then? Is it a matter of choosing the least bad effect?

Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 No, it is not hard to find. PLAIN yoghurt Dannon Yoplait Stoneyfield are some brands I make my own. mjh I think the solution is to find the correct antibiotic for the infection AND to take a good yogurt with 4 live bacteria cultures, not just one. This kind of product may be hard to find. a Carnes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 2, 2007 Report Share Posted January 2, 2007 Massimo, There is increasing research showing that irritable bowel syndrome and Crohn's disease are both caused by bacteria. This is much like ulcers. Do some antibiotics make things worse or cause bowel problems? Certainly. I think the solution is to find the correct antibiotic for the infection AND to take a good yogurt with 4 live bacteria cultures, not just one. This kind of product may be hard to find. a Carnes E. coli highly prevalent in IBD tissues 13 October 2006 Gut 2006: Advance online publication Patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have about three to four times as many bacteria of the Enterobacteriaceae family in their gut tissues as do individuals without the disease, scientists reveal. Chronic inflammatory diseases such as Crohn's disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are thought to be due to recognition of microbial bacteria by a dysfunctional immune system, the researchers write in an advance online publication by the journal Gut. Which bacteria are implicated in IBD is unclear at present, they note, stressing that " specific bacteria may have been missed because not more than 30% of the microbial diversity of the gut can be cultured. " To overcome this problem, Denis Krause and colleagues, from the University of Manitoba in Canada, used a culture-independent method to examine bacterial DNA bands in 84 biopsy samples from 13 patients with CD, 19 with UC, and 15 healthy controls. Ribosomal intergenic spacer analysis showed that there were about 450 base pairs that were consistently present in about 70% of patients but in less than 30% of controls. Five bands from the IBD samples were sequenced and found to be Escherichia coli. Emphasizing that, " wherever possible, microorganisms identified using culture-independent methodsŠ should be cultured so that their virulence mechanisms can be evaluated, " the team grew bacteria from over 90% of the biopsies. These cultures showed that purple colonies indicative of E. coli were present in 69% of CD patients and 63% of UC patients, compared with only 47% of controls, while non-E. coli colonies could be cultured from most samples. Further investigations indicated that the most virulent strains of E. coli (B2 + D) were present in significantly greater concentrations in samples from CD and UC patients than from controls, at 8 and 11 units versus 4 units, respectively. Serine protease autotransporter proteins and adherence factors, which may be involved in promoting inflammation, were also significantly more prevalent among tissues from CD and UC patients than among those from controls. Reflecting on their findings, Krause et al say: " What we do not know at this point is whether the increase in certain types of E. coli in IBD is a consequence of inflammation, or the cause. " They continue: " One way forward is to describe the E. coli population before inflammation sets in, for example, obtain biopsy tissue that ranges along the colon, distal and proximal to UC lesions.
