Could this be constipation ?

[Guest guest]

What form is the Bifido Breve? I found the bacterium being discussed as

an intestinal flora-changer but I didn't find any pills. It looks

interesting because it seems to shift mucus which holds the previous

flora in place and thus opens the way for them to change. This idea

seems related to the idea of a biofilm that others talk about. I don't

know if it is.

Could you tell us some more -- who suggested it and why?

Katy seems well in herself, but the past 3 days she has had yellowy diarhoea

after eating. Her tummy seems slightly bloated and the only other thing that's

different is she is taking ages to eat her meals. She usually wolfs food down

quickly and now is taking almost 30 minutes to eat a meal. Her bowels have been

regular until last Sunday. I have started her on some Bifido Breve a couple of

weeks ago, don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Wondering if I should clear her out or am I going to make things worse if she is

not bunged up ?

Any advise appreciated.

Hi Sharon,

I couldn''t be sure on sypmtoms but in our experience ...Eddie is slower at

eating his meals and (in the past) less reluctant to drink when he is backed up.

Oftne his belly doesn't seem that bloated - but we notice that while he poos

everyday - it is less. We find oxypowder gentle and effective and the quicker

we use it the less we need.

Sandy and Sally,

Thanks for responding,

I've not tried oxypowder as she hasn't done very well with magnesium in the

past, we have been using picolax when needed. I haven't given her any for about

5 weeks as she has been going regularly and good amounts. I wonder if she has

gradually become backed up. I gave her a picolax last night and she has been to

the toilet several times but is just passing light orangey brown water with

light ? mucousy bits in. She seems happy enough and has eaten her breakfast.

Sally, I started her Bifido breve after reading the information Glynis had

posted on D.lactate. Katy has not tolerated much in the way of probiotics,

she's become quite poorly with them. I wondered if this may be a reason , so I

planned to try the breve and then lactobacillus Caseii. She had seemed fine up

until the last couple of days and has had none of the symptoms we have seen in

the past with probiotics. I bought the single strain probiotics from

Metabollics.

I'll see how she does over the day, and probably get her checked over with the

GP if she doesn't start passing some proper poo.

Sorry to come back to this again, but I could do with a bit of advise.

I gave Katy a laxative on Thurs thinking she may have overflow, turns out she

wasn't backed up but was having diarhoea. I left the bifido off the weekend and

her stools came back good. I gave a tiny amount on Sunday night and she now has

diarhoea again.

Do you think this is die off or intolerence ? She is also doing some throat

clearing which may be reflux. I haven't tried it with charcoal

yet. I'm not sure what to do for the best.

I have been trying for years to get probiotics into her and up to now she has

only tolerated bifido infantalis, so I thought I would go very gently with small

amounts of single strains.

Thanks for any comments.
