Probiotics?

Do probiotics help UC? I have some probiotics gummies with bacillus coagulans, do you think they would be likely to help with UC to any extent?

The ones in my signature are worthy to me.

If you are in the US, I suggest one to start with...Primadophilus Reuteri...capsules, not pearls. I took that for many, many years until it was discontinued in Canada.

Also note that some probiotics cause irritating gas issues.

I wonder if switching brands occasionally is beneficial, if just to get exposure to varying formulas.

Take them at bedtime on a mostly empty stomach when the gut is more quiet...see if that helps.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. Have been taking it in the AM.

They’re expensive but Visbiome are FDA approved and been exceptional to me.

Thanks, quincy! Taking them at night has improved things dramatically!

I tried to use visbiome but it gave me acid reflux. Now I have a jpouch and I take a 10 strain probiotics from a wholesaler. I must take it 4 times a day. If I go down to 3 I get sick.

I tried all those pills for a few weeks each and they did nothing for me. All these big numbers on the front saying 5 Million organisms or whatever mean nothing. Then I discovered KEFIR MILK (has 50 to 200 times the probiotics then those pills). It is gods elixir. Drink 2 cups of that per day for a week and I would be shocked if you didn't see major improvements. Google the health benefits of kefir milk also.

The taste of it was a little much for me so I blend it with a frozen banana and mango or strawberries and it tastes like ice cream.

2 cups per day for 1 week. Don't skip a day, don't do 1 cup, don't mix it with other probiotic pills. You may want to try every brand of kefir also to see which one performs the best for you.
