I am definitely on probiotics. And, with what I now have learned about gut health, I would be on a good probiotic as a preventive even if I was still on the MWF mono regime. As Richie has said, much easier to prevent than treat. Lynnie

Those probiotics, are they what the Dr ordered or did you choose to do it yourself?

Natropath in Melb said she thought probiotics were a marketing gimmick and she doesnt believe them neccessary (words to that effect). And to anywho who dont know…yes she is into AP.

Paul – it was my decision. I find that, on the rare occasions when I ingest gluten or dairy inadvertently, they help bring my gut back on track (so to speak) and were certainly useful when I had lots of gut issues after my liver crisis. Now, I use them as a preventive – I’d rather be safe than sorry. However, I cant offer a definitive counter-argument, except to say that LW is in the camp of small doses of abx on 2/3 days p.w., so perhaps they are not so necessary then. I certainly think they are a good idea for anyone on high and/or combined doses of abx and think even conventional medicos would tend to agree there. Lynnie

Be well! Lynnie
