Guest guest Posted December 30, 2005 Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Margh, I have never heard of Tre-Nev Trio. I would suggest you stick with more well known probiotics that others can recommend that work. That's why support groups like this are so good because we can compare notes. I can't recommend enough that people get on a probiotic containing Saccharomyces Boulardii. It has been used in Europe for many decades and in German hospitals they routinally administer S. Boulardii to every patient given antibiotics. That may be why America seems to have more problems with C. Difficile. You can buy S. Boulardii separately and take it along with other probiotics or get everything combined into one as in Primal Defense. When I first got C. Difficile I was working in the NICU. Prime place to pick up the bug. My GP didn't figure out what it was so put me on diphenoxylate to stop the diarrhea. It stopped the diarrhea but I had severe stomach pain because the C. Difficile was being retained in the gut. Shortly after that I was put on Zithro for bronchitis/sinus infection and flared it again. A month later I saw the LLMD and was diagnosed with Lyme. I was put on 30 days of Zithro and 2nd week into it the C. Difficile flaired which the LLMD figured out what was going on. I was put on Flagyl for a week then went back on Zithro along with Flagyl. Since Flagyl does not allow spirochetes to go into cyst form and hide from the antibiotics then it is good to take for two reasons. Months later I started on a diff abx because the Zithro was too expensive at the time and Clindamyacin flaired the C. Difficile. Clindamyacin is notorious for causing it. So had to stop abx for 3 wks and go on straight Flagyl till it cleared up. It's been like a roller coaster ride for me, but I know I need to keep at the abx to get well from Lyme. As for naturopaths one has to be careful. They aren't highly regulated and a number of naturos are currently being investigated for killing or harming patients. There are two I know of in my state alone. The one I started going to I am getting leary of. My GP shared her concern over some of the things the naturo has been doing to me. I did some reading and now understand her concern. I also angered this naturo because I rattled off info about thyroid medications and interactions he had no clue about. So he has been misinforming his patients for years. His assistant also preaches the way to remove ticks is with a lighted match. I had to set her straight on that one! You really have to watch out for yourself at all times; some of these drs are plain scary. Be cautious of unlabeled herbs from naturos as well as brands you have never heard of. There was a naturo in TN recently busted for his fake herbs he was charging $7000 a pkg for claiming he was importing these magical herbs from Indonesia or somewhere like that. > > > >> > > There is also such a thing of taking too much probiotics.

Guest guest Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Trenev Trio is very well known - made by Natren. It is expensive in my opinion. I have my thoughts on probiotics and the list of those I take while on ABX for Lyme on my Probiotics page at www.BetterHealthGuy.com.

Going back to Bee's article, " How to Successfully Overcome Candida " almost always answers any question. Here is info regarding Probiotics. " Probiotic Dosages – Start with 1 billion units 3 times a day (or less), with or without food, and gradually increase it to a total of 10 billion units per day in split doses. It will not hurt you to take more, but taking excessive amounts is a waste of money and it will not speed up the process of implantation.

Guest guest Posted September 16, 2007 Report Share Posted September 16, 2007 Thanks or the reply. I was thinking of simply doing the cabbage rejuvelac in addition to small amount of kefir. I've done a lot of cleaning out these last 2 months and think it's time to repopulate. A lot of my symptoms are gone. I've been on no carb no fruit no sweet for 2 months while doing " humaworm " cleanse, 1g olive leaf extract 3x a day and recently started a course of sf-722, a castor oil extract. I finally feel like i have control of my life back. You don't realize how much damage candida can do until it stsops doing all that it was doing. itchy scalp, dandruff, itchy anus, mood impairment, digestive impairment, liver impairment, skin problems. Such a relief to be free of these. > > > > Hi, just wondering if it's possible to overdo probiotics. Is it > > possible to have too many " good " bacteria in us?

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2007 Report Share Posted September 17, 2007 hi Iam happy you are finally rid of candida! Iam still suffering from all those symptoms you have mentioned and more! Can you please go into detail and tell me what herbs you took ? How long did you take each one? Did you rotate them every four days and what exactly is a humaworm cleanse? How does it work ? How long and often did you do this? Also do colonics work or do they just cause lots of infections? Have they helped you? I really appreciate your help! You can write me at my personal email ehendale730 @ . com Thanks! Beth ycloutier2000 <ycloutier2000@...> wrote: Thanks or the reply.
