Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Irene, would you mind sharing your IC story? If you have read some of the recent posts, I have it, as well as Zig and Toby. I do believe there is a connection between the IC and V. for myself. I went to the site you listed about Dr. , but I'm not sure how probiotics are supposed to work. Could you elaborate? Thanks, in WVIrene wrote: Hi Dusty,Thanks for the note. I haven't tried the Danactive yet because I'm taking a very expensive probiotic called Repleniss. It has helped tremendously with my IC and my symptoms are down to practically nothing. Right when the IC went down to nothing is when this vulvar itch came out of nowhere. I always wonder if there's a connection, but I can't imagine what it could be.I get the product from a Dr. Mark :http://www.drmarkrhodes.com/It's a human strain probiotic with 55 billion organisms, and from reading an IC board run by a nurse who had IC, human strain is supposed to be the best kind. I'm looking at the package and it has L. acidophilus, bifidobacterium bifidus and L. Salivarius.It doesn't have the L. Casei that the Danactive has, so I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it. I'll ask the doc about the other med, but I'm afraid he might be hung up on a particular protocol or something. I hope he'll be open minded about it.Thanks,Irene__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
