Is "El casi immunitas" and "Biffida digestivum?

Patiented bacteria?

I am the right person to answer this - live bacteria used to balance the bacteria levels (Ie candida) levels in the digestory tract and the bowel. I could go on.........

Have that girl washed and sent to my quarters

made up drivel imo

oh on reading Dingdells post, I guess it really does exist  :D

It better had - I talk about it all day! :blonde:

Not necessarily.

One of my mates talks about his sex life all day but it doesn't exist.  :D

You promised you would'nt tell!!!

My favourite are the adverts that mention cosmetics with added "Boswelox" - surely that must have been the result of some form of wager?

but it tastes nice..............

i though the first one was a town in spain

the second was latin for constipation

There is a whole section on Bill Bryson's "A Short History of Nearly Everything" on bacteria, it is fascinating reading, & bacteria are really quite awesome things.

We simply could not survive as living beings without bacteria, they are THE most imprtant means by which life is able to go on.

Mostly, 99.9% of them do essential stuff, but the occasional rogue one, or one in the wrong place, makes us ill now & then.

Be grateful for the pesky things, we could not survive without them. Or have yoghourt.

Long live bacteria.

after along period of illness or after feeling run down i find yakult really does the trick. Esp good if youve had aperiod of eating wrong and  or drinking.

Won't drink anything that sounds like the noise I'll make bringing it back up!!!

But you can get bio tablets that do the same.

Are you not supposed to put those in with your laundry???

Very often the process used to make the tablets actually kills the product within the tablet. ie Many vitamin tablets loose the majority of the vitamin content, if not all, from the heat process used to make the tablet a tablet. Also depending on your digestive system and food intollerances you may not be able to digest or break down the actual tablet/capsule. I have a friend who runs a portaloo company and he could make a business just rebottling old vitamin tablets (mainly multi vits) that come through the system whole........hope you've had your dinner before reading this!  :D

May be better to use liquid or powder form to get a better product and result.

a woman who bring's her work home with her......


off to re-cook my dinner....

As my work is poo....I'm not quite sure how to take that one!  8)

Any suggestions for someone that has had a consultant diagnosed extreme case of IBS?

IMHO there are a lot of consultants diagnosing, but not many actually doing anything apart from hand out prescriptions for anti cramping medicines or bulking agents for the bowel to aid going to the loo.
 
Loads of suggestions - primarily get tested for all intollerances, hair test most accurate, blood not so good, but a nutritionist led service is ideal as you get advice on foods and ongoing backup rather than just test results.  IMHO to truly have IBS the symptoms should be so severe as to cause the patient to be almost publicly embarrassed that they have to find the loo in a desperate hurry.

Many people 'suffering' from IBS only actually have symptoms and not IBS, but for either an increase in water intake may be all it takes to really see an improvement. Often symptoms such as gas, bloating, cramping etc are caused by food not pasing through the digestive system and colon at the right speed. Not enough water encourages the wrong type of bacteria to breed and slow the colon down, as does antibiotics which kill everything int he bowel except for candida which then causes slowdown/speedup of colon depending the individual.

If you have had a course of antibiotics and are not drinking enough water you will probably get gas/bloating/cramping etc  etc.

So - Minimum of 8 large glasses of water a day is required for most humans.(room temperature only not cold) For every tea or coffee an additional glass of water or when exercising.  Reduction in foods patient is intolerant to (not forever). Only one or two bananas a week (sorry Matt) and never ripe ones. Avoid mushrooms, onions, tofu and any other similar foods eg shallots. Avoid citrus friuts and drinks and dont have many grapes, much bread or anything else that has yeast type properties.

Most cases will improve dramatically by following this area of advice, but may for a few weeks get worse as the patient goes through a healing crisis. For example of the client suffers from candida then causing a die off of the bacteria results in more gas and bloating etc but this does improve.

Obviously it should be said that all cases are different and any readers should not take any of this post as advice, merely as comments on how cases in my clinic have been helped. All readers are recomended to take qualified medical advice specific to their case and no advice should be taken from this post.

Awwww thanks for this Tracey.

Sadly in my case it is IBS  had it for approx 10 years but I've been really really bad with it since March last year.  Had an endoscopy a couple of weeks ago and awaiting results, but consultant has said extreme IBS prior to the results of the two biopsies taken.  I'm going to try some of your tips and see if they help.

Thanks ever so much once again.
