Does anyone have advice or recommendations. I do not respond well to probiotics

I see a lot of strains are for treating IBS d but can’t find any recommendations on IBS c

Keep getting strep infections. Not knowing what to do, I keep taking antibiotics every few months and I already have sibo and leaky gut. I don’t know what to do.

For some context: I unexpectedly lost my job. While it happened there was a major surge of anxiety and stress that went through my body. Especially in my gut (where I hold my stress). It’s been a month now and I am still affected by the situation. I am gassy all the time. I get bubble guts every time I eat. Something is off. Any thoughts? Thanks!

Since the proteins from dairy (whey and casein) are the cause of acne breakouts for many, will taking digestive enzymes including protease help in any way?

Have had gut issues my whole life, after a doctor mentioned I should cut out gluten in 2014, I did. I haven’t eaten it since. I just always assumed it was causing issues.

Well here I am a decade later with arguably the worst gut issues I’ve suffered in my entire existence. I started wondering if abstaining from gluten for all these years could have potentially altered my microbiome, and caused me worse problems. Lots of lower abdominal bloating, trapped gas, belching, constipation and diarrhea, horrible reflux.

Side note I’ve seen many doctors and had a very extensive work up over the last 5 years. Only issues that I’ve been diagnosed with, IBS, functional dyspepsia, GERD, “hypersensitivity”.

Friend turned me on to a company that has a product to promote gut health using schidigera yucca extract. Anyone heard of that or have any experience? Thanks!

My gut has been severely messed up. I have UC that turned into Crohn’s. Took months of antibiotics for Lyme disease and severely deteriorated. Waiting on microbiome test results. Just added bifido bacteria. Wondering what to expect?

This may be a dumb question but will using antifungal vaginal suppositories for yeast infections like Miconazole harm my gut health?

ive treid skinesa but now looking for alternatives

Strep in gut not going away??? Tried all the antibiotics but it just keeps coming back and giving utis and infections

SO I think what is super interesting is what happens to your microbiome in pregnancy and after birth and how it influences the baby. What is really cool is that probiotics for babies is actually recommended in hospitals for certain babies with certain conditions. If anyone is interested, this latest episode E12 on podcast Cocooned Health https://www.cocoonedhealth.com/ on Spotify/Apply is all about the microbiome in pregnancy and baby. For instance particularly on how breastfeeding and C Section / vaginal delivery makes a difference to babies gut health ect. https://www.cocoonedhealth.com/e/12/

Has anyone experienced weight gain from taking probiotics? I've put on 20 extra lbs I didn't need in 6 months and the only thing that changed is taking probiotics

My annual is coming up and I'm trying to think through any additional blood tests I may want my doctor to add on. I had SIBO and while I think it's gone, I'm still struggling to rebalanced my gut and regularly have constipation.

I'm thinking zonulin for leaky gut, and B1 because I've heard a deficiency can contribute to SIBO, but what else? I'm particularly interested in looking at inflammation.

Is it possible to be allergic and develop mental issues from Psyllium. Everytime I take it I get dehydrated, high blood pressure and paranoid. How long does this stay in your system?

Any doctors in UK that specialise in microbiome and ordering microbiome teats

I had a kiss with a girl and her breath wasn't awful but was a slight tinge of bad. After kissing her my mouth has tasted off. It taste almost like extremely dry mouth. And she takes Adderall so it's probably bacteria from chronic dry mouth. I brush tongue scrape and floss daily, and I have some oral probiotics coming in, and I'm swishing coconut oil with salt everyday. Is there anything else I can be doing to help? Should I use hydrogen peroxide to start a clean slayer with the probiotics or just add them without wiping out the existing cultures?

This is everything I assumed but now shown in mice. Going strictly on EVOO. No fried foods for me, sadly.

Pretty much title. College student, regular (weekend) consumer of alcohol, usually no problems. Roughly 2 months ago I was drunk and smoked several mini cigars containing tobacco. Long story short, diagnosed with gastritis by urgent care doc. Given omeprazole for 2 weeks, but I stopped after the 7th day after I was feeling the weirdest racing thoughts/derealization symptoms. Now all those weeks later, I still feel minor indigestion and bloating/abdominal discomfort , only eating because I feel like I should, not due to hunger. Recently started consuming kefir but seems to have no difference. I also have reduced mood, haven’t been to the gym since symptom onset, and have thoughts that would normally be totally foreign to me. I’m waiting on an appointment with a gastroenterologist but I occasionally feel like I’m losing my mind so some insight would be great.

I have some sort of UTI and im taking norfloxacin 400mg for 5 days + UroGuard (Supplement with cranberry and 2 specific probiotic strains for the urinary tract). What can i do in the meantime to not hurt my gut? I'm eating as i would eat typically mediterian diet with high fiber. Should i take probiotics or something? I'm worried the antibiotics would kill my gut and make me suffer like i once did. Please any advice is appreciated.

What is the general consensus around tiny health? It seems pretty in depth and accessible without a functional doctor. Would I be better served to splash out on a doctor and gi map?

Make a long story short. Took a 7 day course of doxycycline. 7 day course of metronidazole. Shot of ceftrizone and penicillin shot. This was all at the same time…. Ended up with cdiff… which resolved on its own.

I suffer from chronic bloating 6 months later… did I permanently destroy my microbiome? Is it possible to completely heal gut? Did this just open me up to chronic diseases? I’m a 33 yr old male

Hi

I'm wondering if anyone could suggest a good colostrum supplement (for bloating, digestion). I've read a lot of horror stories about armra, but there are also positive reviews. That being said, the price is a bit steep. I'm stumped.

Can anyone share their personal experience? thanks! :]
