Bottle of Acidophilus

[rox4jc]

I tested positive and went to my local rural drugstore and this was all that they had along the lines of probiotics. Here are the ingredients:
Calcuim 88 mg
Citrus Pectin 100 mg
Lactobacillus
Acidophilus 7.5 mg

Other ingredients: Gelatin, microcrystalline cellulose, stearic acid, magnesium stearate, yogurt.

Dr. A says not to use one with a dairy base, and yogurt is dairy last I checked, but will this at least help until I can get something better or should I just wait altogether?

ypgurt bacteria will be fine for your replacement bacteria. it is sugar free and that is very important. Are you in OWL now?

Thanks, 2big. I am on the veggie rung, and hesitate to move on to dairy because of the yeast thing (obviously). My weight fluctuates so much during the month due to irregular TOM that it's very diffucult to keep track of whether I'm still losing or not. I don't even consider it a loss unless it stays off for 2-3 weeks, and then BOOM it's all back one day prior to a surprise period. Usually takes nearly two weeks to get back to where I was. It's absolutely hair pulling ! I thought that the yeast thingy might be contributing, so bye-bye dairy and sweetener. It's making my eyes tear up to see my two best friends go! Maybe we'll meet again? I hope so!!!!
Should I take more than one tablet a day? Naturally, the sooner this is over the better. Meanwhile, I'll be waiting and spitting!

you need to read the rules for the yeastie cause it is byebye fermented foods dried foods like tea coffee and spices, not fresh veggies cause they could be containinated with spores. then you need to add some antifungal either medication with an Rx from your doc like BeckySue did or OTC as many do with oil of oregano or garlic to kill off the yeasties faster since diet alone in induction eating didn't kill them all off.
