Guest guest Posted June 14, 1999 Report Share Posted June 14, 1999 I started taking Primadophilus Bifidus from Natures Way today. 290MG containing freeze-dried Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium breve, Lactobacillus rhamnosus, and lactobacillus acidophilus. The directions say to take one capsule (2.9 billion Bifidobacteria & Lactobacilli) daily for 2 weeks, after which you can increase to 3 capsules daily. I'm so used to taking (at least) 12 acidophilus capsules/day that taking just 1 doesn't seem like it will do much good. (I am on 1200MG of Zithro/day). Is anyone else taking this? Would taking more than one be OK? Or maybe I should keep taking regular acidophilus (in addition to this) for the next 2 weeks? Thanks!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 1999 Report Share Posted June 14, 1999 Hi , I used to take the cheaper and non-refrigerated type, and when I switched to Primadophilus Bifidus I just started taking 3 a day all at one time, between antibiotic doses, and never have a problem. I recently increased it to 4 as I am on an additional 250mg of Zithromax, and thought maybe I should increase the acidophilus as well.

I take 1 to 2 a day. You could take more than 2 a day. When I take this particular brand I notice less problems with my stomach and gas. Works great!

Guest guest Posted June 14, 1999 Report Share Posted June 14, 1999 Hi All, I just take a handful, I never keep track, I get yeast so easy, that I just take it whenever i can. I also take Florajen. they have a couple of diffferent kinds, they seems to both work, Hugs, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 1999 Report Share Posted June 15, 1999 connie, do you take both of these at the same time or when you run out of one? bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 15, 1999 Report Share Posted June 15, 1999 , with the amount of Zithromax you are taking I would take at least 3. See if your bowel will tolerate.( No loose stolls ), If so take! Take as far away from your antibiotics as possible. Another great product (i've taken most of them) is Opti -Flora from Shaklee. You can get this from any Shakley dealer. It is a little costly put this is one product where only one of the capsules mixced with their FOS does wonders to bulk up the bowels. The FOS lines the intestines and helps the other organisms in the bill form to stay alive to do their thing for the intestional tract. Good luck Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Hi Bev, I take them both, a handful at night, more Prima then florajen, but I do not measure, no side effects for me. I don't have time to keep track of stuff so a handful or whatever falls out of the bottle. Hugs, Connie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 16, 1999 Report Share Posted June 16, 1999 Hi Carol, I used to take FOS, in fact I have the company info on how it works from Nutra Flora, the first to sell it. I maybe need to go back to it, but them someone said it may feed the yeast, we can't win. I think I was better on it, but I need to stay away from all the yeast causers.
