Probiotics

Thank you, Madeline. I will. 

Thank you, Susan.  I will look that up.  

Thanks every one, pharmacist recommended Cultural, but will look into Natures Best, how long have you been on it Susan ?

 

Looks like its only available in UK, I am in Canada

I am in the US.  I will talk to my Doc to see what he recommends. 

3 months I have DD and IBS was in a right state didn't go out for fear of needing toilet. Felinia who is on this forum recommended I try them. So I phoned Natures Best up and they recommended them. I haven't looked back since. I still get the odd off day but I haven't had a DD attack since starting them. I hope they work for you. Good luck 

So glad something is helping. I am still so new to the Diverticulitis flares that I am not sure when and what to do. 

I was diagnosed last September and I didn't know anything about it at all. People on her have helped me so much they know more than the DRS   I don't eat any skins nuts tomatoes chocolate not a lot of red meat   If I have a flare I just eat soup chicken and mash till it settles. The problem is everyone one is different it's abit of trial and error. I hope this helps 

Thanks.  I have been doing clear liquids for several days then add in soft foods.  After a couple days of this I start cramping again.  Back on liquids again.  

Try a probiotic! It should help with the diarrhea. Heating pad should help cramping.

Thank you, Madeline.  I have been taking Probiotics for a few days.  I don't have diarrhea. I am having trouble going unless I drink prune juice in the morning.  I know I will figure this all out soon.  Thankful I found this forum. 

Got Cultral, one realy has to read the labels, some you have to take 3 times a day, could not believe how many makes there are and the range in prices.  See how this works

let us know what they suggest

 

I sure will if I can get them to call me back. 

I eat warm prunes to help me go. I found that my diarrhea comes from food sensitivities. Can't really eat out. A lot of restaurants use something on their grill to keep the food from sticking.  I learned that the hard way. Wondered why after I ate breakfast out I immediately got bad diarrhea. It has happened several times to I know to stay away from those and I don't drink pop or carbonated beverages because they cause bathroom explosions. 

I am a Come drinker but have not been drinking them.  Do u have problems with coffee, iced tea, etc?

Coffee helps me go. Iced tea if I'm sweaty sends me to the bathroom with cramps.  I stay away from coke or carbonated beverages. Drink water, a lot of juice mixed with water.  And gum is bad. I love gum but sometimes causes gas.  Everyday is a challenge but I'll keep watching as much as I can. 

Thank you so much for taking the time to help.
